MY FASHION JOURNEY

Past
Before I started studying Fashion Design at Cardiff Met I had no idea what to expect. However, this week I have learnt a lot about the course and the next three years to come. I have been introduced to industrial sewing machines and I was amazed by the speeds they can reach. I was given the brief of circles and knew I had the freedom to be as creative as possible without having to worry about how it would look/function off the mannequin. This meant I was able to be much more imaginative than I previously thought.

Present
So far, I have loved the fast-paced environment and that there is never a dull moment. It’s only the first week and I have already created something to be proud of!

Future
My perceptions of Fashion Design have completely changed since the start of this week, I now have a better understanding of how everything works. I hope that with some practice on the industrial machines I’ll be able to use them accurately at top speeds. And I’m looking forward to learning lots more new skills! I am excited for the future and what lies ahead; particularly getting inspiration for my designs so I can begin creating. Therefore, as a next step I’d like to do some further research into my current brief so I can be better prepared for the weeks ahead.
