The Dancerssss
before finishing uni, myself and 3 fellow students got involved with the SO Festival on an internship basis. our role was to design and make the outfits for one of the dance pieces that was to have some british dancers, and some swedish dancers. the whole festival was also linked with the run up to the Olympics and had a sport theme. the inspiration for the costumes was the olympic rings and the swedish and british flags.
when everything was finished to actually see the costumes worn and performed in the street with people watching was such an acheievment and made the whole experience so worth while and valuable.
the project also included a trip to sweden in which we met the dancers, watched them rehearse, and took measurements.

Mad Cowes in Hong Kong
Hong Kong was educational!
i have been given this amazing oppurtunity designing for Mad Cowes as they re-launch with new owners Nigel and Judy, and i have been given the chance to design the whole collection for summer 2012.... the schedule is tight but i know it will all work out
anyway... having only just graduated, im still learning alot about how the whole the fashion industry operates, and apparently visiting the factories once/twice a year is standard procedure... i didnt realise quite how vital a trip like this is until i got there.
myself, Judy and Mad Cowes account manager Bella made the 12.30hour flight (hell! especially if sat next to someone who doesnt get the hint that you dont want a conversation) to make sure all designs had been interpreted correctly, fabric qualities were good, and everything was as should be. there were a few problems but im sure every company goes through these processes, and everything was resolved so im pretty excited now waiting for the salesmen samples to arrive!
Hong Kong was an impressive place and im sure had it not been for the incedible heat and humidity (that hit you smack in the face like it does when you open an oven door) there would of been plenty to go to/see etc. however most days ended up being spent on the hotel roof top by the pool/in the pool cooling off....
fashion on the street was inspiring too, the cantonese are so stylish! however all have coat hanger figures so im sure if they were a hessian sack they would look good....
