I'm a Film Star

I've recently ask a film production team to help me in the making of a film about my final collection for the big fashion show at the end of June. I'm very exited, this is my first time to work with other Rave students outside the uni projects and i get to be the star of the film. Could it get any better then this! I don't think soooooo.

Review of work

This whole month we gone back over all the basic patter-cutting techniques. It was very important to me because this the area I want to go in as a crear. the great thing that was important to me was learning about how to make blocks which is the basis of any pattern-cutting.

New free softwear

Yey!!!!  Just tougt myself a new piece of softwear.
For our presentation we have to use Power point. I had great difficulties in the past working with Microsoft word and power point, they are very limited in functions and if you put images inside they kept moving all over the place. Now I have found something free over the internet its call LIBRA DRAWING which made life so much easier. I wrote my whole presentation in it and turn it in to PDF which made it alot easier to work on all kind of computers. Thank GOD for the free bees!!!!!!!!!!

EcoLuxe

I participated in the EcoLuxe exhibition and found a lot
of information about the field i want to go in the future. In the exhibition there were 21 different designer brands all promoting eco friendly products. On two of these stands my work was shown which was a very proud moment for me!

EcoLuxe London, promoter of high end and environmentally friendly fashion designers and brands. They launched their latest showcase last month at London’s No1 Aldwych Hotel, opposite the current London Fashion Week at Somerset House.
With over 25 designers of ethical, recycled and fair trade fashion and accessories, the event also includes the launch of ‘The Textile and Apparel Apprenticeship Programme in London’ and will have 5 stands from ‘The Center for Sustainable Fashion’ to showcase their latest designers along with a “pampering station” by professional hair and skin care brand, Aveda.
Hemyca was one of the brand promoting their “Made in UK”.
From fabric to manufacturing is being done in UK.

Photoshoot

This was the most exiting part of my placement. After all the hard work I finally saw it coming together.

The photo shoot was kept really simple. As a business HEMYCA did not wanted to distract the buyers and customers by adding different colour accessories or very bright make up. The accessories that has been added were being kept black to stand out the garment. The model was told not to make any poses as this can also cause distraction.

Counting Money

I learned costing as part of my course unit last year but working with HEMYCA this was the first time to see it working. This was a real experience of the business side of running your own label which is something I always want to have in the future.
