sketchbook

I've spent the last couple of weeks at arts summer school in Bournemouth, taking a course in fashion design.
I've been focusing so much on educating myself about the other side - the manufacture and consumption part- of the industry, so it was really interesting to look into the initial development stages of the clothes that we wear.

I learnt so much: about how the design process works, how to use an industrial overlocker, how to use photoshop to design prints...

I also learnt that living by yourself loses its novelty after you've had stir-fry for five nights running, that you are never too old for collaging and that there is no problem that an Oreo milkshake cannot solve. 

Over the course we picked an overarching concept, then researched around it before refining our findings into designs. Then we generated a digital print and made a garment, which was modelled and shot at a photo shoot at the end of the week. 

you'll have to keep your eyes peeled for the photos - they'll be up soon!

My concept was "Impurity".

Here are a couple photocopies of my sketchbook - I hope you like them.
