Not. Happy.

i will upload a blog post of my last project soon. But i want to first rant about the joke of today. Getting back our results from "innovative" cut, is a joke.
I did not receive a bad mark, but when compared to others who began their garment the day before & handed in late, while i and others had spent two weeks in studio 8, 9 hours a day, to find i barely scraped a few marks above them. Ridiculous. It makes me question why i a even on this course. i dont make pretty dresses, i detest making/designing them, why when you can buy them in topshop?
I clearly picked the wrong thing to do.
innovation was clearly not the title of this project.

Not happy at all. Cant be bothered at all anymore.

Work Experience.

Ive been thinking about work experience, and im not sure entirely about what i want to do...
i would really like to learn more about tailoring, i think its one of the areas i am more interested in fashion.
Location wise i could do it in Leeds, Brighton where i live or london cos i have alot of family and mates who live there. So the choice is pretty wide..
I have a massive love for one mens tailoring company in brighton, Gresham Blakes. Its in the lanes and i use to go in there for lots of inspiration for my foundation which was over the road. so im tempted to email them for work experience next summer.

Or Gieves and Hawkes in Leeds...

Other than tailors i literally have no idea where i would like to gain work experience.
I am going to do some on the emmerdale wardrobe set soon, a few of my friends are sound producers there and they said i can go and help out in the studio sometime!
I always wanted to do costume when i was younger, and the idea of working in television really appeals to me...

I hate thinking about the future though, it makes me feel a bit sick!
What i really want to do is move abroad, to south of france or north of spain, and go on cruise ships for a while as a barmaid and see the world...

The fashion world is all a bit cut throat for me! ive come to realise just how many people are fighting ove one job or to be different. i cant take it!

i just try not to get too caught up thinking about all that...

Thoughts etc

Some bastard ate my ben and jerrys so im not altogether happy.
A whole new tub !
but its okay ...

im very excited about innovative cut, i like pattern cutting alot, ive got some exciting ideas. I want to go straight back to menswear...
i want to do a take on military wear, pockets, built in gloves, hat etc, quite gadgety clothes with inside hidden pockets and big collar, wind protection etc.
im dead excited about cutting something so precise and exciting!

few little ideas ... combining design ideas
future fashion.
