Trend Board S/S 12 - Jpeg Generation

This was our groups starting point, taken from WGSN for the trend Jpeg Generation S/S 2012. As a group we then interpreted it in our way. We wanted to do something a little different and rather than keeping the board flat we wanted to add more to it making it a little more interactive with the viewer and more fitting with the trend in the way it was presented rather than just showing the colours and fabrics. 

I was really pleased with the outcome of the board I thought it represented the trend well whilst having our own take on the trend as well.

AAAHHHH!!!....=]

from Dolce and Gabbana to The Land of Narnia

I love being inspired by things from my childhood, I have a major obsession with anything that will take me back there so Narnia was perfect inspiration for this project. I wanted to combine the sexiness taken from the brand of Dolce and Gabbana and the fantasy and magic of Narnia.

Design Assisstant

I'm being a design assistant to a 3rd year (katherine) for 3wks.

Wednesday 27th April
I found it a little daunting at first but Katherine is really nice and gives v.good advice and is really easy to talk to. =]
I did a few simple tasks on the first day such as getting threads to match the fabrics used in Katherine's collection, finding look books and i traced around a pattern that Katherine had already completed so that it was flat rather than folded up. 

Wednesday 4th May
I really enjoyed today I was introduced to different areas of the college by Katherine which i found really useful, such as jewelery, print, digital print, photography. I loved sitting in on the fashion photography and it gave me ideas for my own work and made me think not just of what I'm making but of how what I make in my own work can be presented to the public...... 
I really liked seeing how Katherine had combined the making side of Pathway B with branding. 

Wednesday 11th May/ Thursday 12th May
Today was a little less busy and wasnt needed too much I went to the photoshoots again to see what happened which I found really interesting. However...I helped as a little extra on Thursday, I scanned all Katherines sketch book sheets into the computer it didnt take long and it gave me an opportunity to see the work leading up to the collection.
