INDIGO

Now to keep you up to date a little...

We have recently just completed our project for the textile trade show Premier Vision. The brief that we needed to produce was a maximum of 6 samples, based on the theme of Muse, that were to be taken to the show and sold. I have to admit that I struggled at first with this project as it was particularly difficult for me to focus on just knit design since coming back from Paris. Being a whole project behind everyone else I got to see how the other knit girls worked and organised themselves throughout, observing and learning from them so that I could have an idea of what was expected of me. I feel I managed to achieve a successful project however there were alot of elements that I could have followed through better, but I live and learn from these mistakes and will think about them when it comes to my next project. I have really enjoyed doing knit though, I find that my knit is very conceptual and 'different' in comparison to the work of the trade show, which was alot more commercial. There also seemed to be alot more print than other specialisms being sold there, due to it being the spring/summer range, which made me feel slightly pessimistic about selling, however just before the end I managed to make a sale to a small design company from Milan, which felt amazing! I now look forward to the next project which will be making a garment on my own for a fashion show at Chelsea College of Art and Design on June 1st.....AAAHHHHH Im am soooo nervous but excited at the same time!
