PROFESSIONAL PROJECT 1st TUTORIAL

This was my first tutorial with Kern and Pat to discuss the ideas I have for my professional project. After already spoken to Sarah James I have decided to take her advise and focus on revolutionary ways of modifying the body and also how the ideals of the perfect body has changed. 

They prompted me to look into using lectra for parts of my pattern making as they suggested this could link to my subject as well as 3D prototyping on virtual bodies. This is something That I will definitely look into for my research but one thing I mainly want to focus on is my choice of fabrics. I want present a range of different textures in my collection with very neutral fleshy tones with an accent of red.

COUTURE CORSET WORKSHOP

IS THERE A FUTURE FOR BRITISH FASHION?

I think the current economical climate will have some serious effects on the future of the British fashion industry. 

 Although after reading an article in Drapers on how events around the world can effect the production of clothing it seems that this may boost UK manufacturing as it is a more reliable source.

This could also be a result of a better carbon footprint. British based supplier may contribute to more ethical production of clothing as it will cut the amount of transport involved and avoid the use of slave labour.

I also think with the increasing difficulty for graduates to find jobs the younger fashion market will be less desirable to companies as there may be more money in a slightly older market.
