Now, that the blog has been online for almost a month, i think its about time I share more about me and what I do on day to day basis. ( later on ;) . But for now, I wanted to show you one of the exercises we had to follow out at my University. For those who do not know, I am on my first year at London College of Fashion, studying ( or trying to ) a BA in Fashion Design and Development. Which takes four years to complete, three if you choose not to do a placement year .
As I mentioned before, in our second term we started to learn about patterns, ergo how to create them from draping on a stand. In groups of fours we were given 3m of fabric and left to explore, any shape and form whatever entered our minds. Quickly followed by a plan of 3 scotched each and a decision of which one we wanted to go farward with ..
