Journal:

Week 2: After presenting my final major project proposal to my tutors I received positive feedback on my concept. This week I focused on researching for my project and collecting and organising my research that I did over the Easter holidays. I feel that I have gone collected a variety of information on the different topics such as taking into consideration that comment made about UK sourcing, so I went in and looked for manufacturing in the UK and how I would go about in writing my PESTEL.  In my next post I have posted some of the work that I am progressing along with, this includes my range plans and mood boards. I came up with the concept of 5 girls creating the range with each of their style. This gives the range some versatility with regards to selling.

Some of my Easter holiday work:

Below are my sketches I made for then 5 'it' girls:

Madison Looks: Clueless (movie) inspired looks.

Vivienne Looks: art deco/print inspired looks.

Lucy Looks: 70's/western inspired looks.

Bebe Looks: 60's/art movement inspired looks.

I have used these sketches I made to create the garments on Photoshop as I am planning to get my range completed while the level 3's are on the workplace, so that there is time to complete them as well as my mood boards/concept boards and product development. This allows me to focus the rest of my time on the merchandising/sourcing of my garments and the finer details of the project.
