Hi! The past two weeks have been midterms so its been very crazy. My collection is coming along slowly. My class had a midterm review where I presented half of my collection to my teachers: 3 looks. During my midterm review, my teachers suggested that I add a seventh look since they liked my hand knit sweater that has black intarsia of a circuit board. Now my seventh look with be a chunky cardigan with the same type of intarsia. This has added more work for me so now i have to start pattern making and I send it out asap. Now that midterm week is over....we have a one week spring break. Unfortunately, I can not enjoy this break and instead come to school and continue to work on my thesis. My goal is to try to get most of my collection done. By time spring break is over.....two weeks are left and my presentation day will already be here. Time is flying by so fast its scary!
This weekend I have to meet up with this freelancer designer who is helping me with my sequin dress and top. I also have to pickup my yarns for the additional look. My plan for this break is to sew up all the pants and have them fitted on the model. In addition fix my layered skirt and buy all my linings for my garments. ahh!!!
On the side, I also have my portfolio class where I am continuing to croquis ( sketching designs). This time I decided to design an accessory collection including bags, sunglasses, and some apparel. My concept is based on aeronautics and some influences of military details. This has been exciting so far because I never really sketched accessories as an actual collection. Its definitely a breath of fresh air besides designing clothes every week.
Hopefully next weekend I can visit the Guggenheim Museum and check out the current exhibition, Cai Guo-Qiang a Chinese artist who uses explosives as his main medium/ concept in his work.
