Week 17
During this week we continued making our pattern for our final piece and I managed to start making it in calico. We also put together the jersey top for Lectra, this was easier then I had imagined however jersey can be difficult to work with but I did enjoy it. (see below for image of completed jersey T-Shirt)
For buying and merchandising we created a customer profile board for Newlook, I really enjoyed this task (see below for customer profile board) and as part of homework we had to complete a SWOT analysis on a retail store, I chose H&M and also found this task very enjoyable. Work experience is getting close and I am hoping to have my placement with Topshop sorted soon, I'm not certain on what part of fashion I want to go into, I only know that I don’t want to do the design side, and so I have decided to carryout more then one placement and I am waiting for people to get back to me so I am able to sort dates, I am really eager to get out there and see what it is really like working in the fashion industry and think the more experience i get the better as it will help me decide which area i love most.
