I am still rubbish.
The lack of writing is appalling on this blog.
The Easter break is now over and I return to uni tomorrow for my last term of the second year. Our new project is with a brand called MCM, and I haven’t even started it yet. I was a little annoyed at the end of the last term when we were given it as they are an accessories brand. So it seems that college managed to get a company to set a brief for the accessories pathway of my course, but not the clothing or footwear, so we’ve just been tagged on to the same project, just working with our own specialism.
This means that the brief we were given for this project is about 1 sentance long, ‘Design a clothing range for MCM’. A non-existant brief is just as irritating as a ludicrously strict one.
I have been making progress on finding a work placement for 6 months in July, and have two interviews next week. One isn’t even really an interview, I’ve been offered the placement, I’m just supposed to meet them to sort out the details. But I haven’t agreed to anything yet. So we will see what happens next week.
I had planned to start my new project today. But I’ve been working on my portfolio instead. Much more important.
As depressed as I sound there is one thing I am very much looking forward to this term and that is starting my elective on Tuesday. This term I am doing my elective on Corsetry. Which I am very excited about, and will probably spend most of my time working on.

Hey,
Good luck starting at LCF.
You will indeed be thrown in the deep end, and will start a project straight away.
But quite often they do the first project as a group project so that you can start to get to know people and don’t feel quite so much pressure on your initial piece of work.
Try not to worry too much. You’ll be fine.
Everyone’s nervous at first.

Hi
Im a fashion student like you and for my next project im making a summer dress with tie dye coorperated in it some how.
Any tips i loved your ball dress.

Hey Nikki,
I don’t know much about tie dye, but if I were you I would keep the dress shape really simple to show off the tie dye to its fullest.
Other than that I don’t really know I’m afraid!
Good luck with it!
