Let the 2nd Term Begin!

Well i have been back at uni for 4 weeks now, and have already started new briefs, units and topics. My final design project for this year is based on fashion v sport, taken from the exhibition that we visited in London, at the end of last term. I have researched into the history of sportswear, found clippings from magazines and have also looked at recent designers collections, which have a sportswear appearance about them. My designs are well under way, however during my tutorial yesterday, Az suggested that i develop my designs further. My final design needs to be chosen by next week. I also received feedback from my two modules last term and was awarded a 2:1, which i am very pleased about! I feel that i can improve my work this term by paying more attention to detail, analysis, development of designs and my organization skills.

I have also started the buying and merchandising unit. Today we had an introduction to the unit, and i found it very useful and interesting to find out what buying, merchandising and garment technology actually is. I became very interested in the buying side of the unit, and hope to find out a lot more about it throughout the duration of the module.
