New Year, New Brief

The three words that have been circulating in my head during the lead up to second year: Excitement, Indecision and Inspiration.

My excitement is due to the fact that this year i get to design and construct my own collection, as well as partake in a group project, which will hopefully challenge me and inspire me. The indecision comes from a summer of placements, some i loved, some i hated and one that changed my future focus. And the inspiration... im constantly looking for it - my collection is weighing on my mind and im just trying to collect as much inpirational material as possible before being briefed on it.

Anyway, moving on to our current brief: Traces. It's all about memories; personal, historical, collective. Traces is the main theme for our group project, during which i work with two other designers and two promoters to achieve a mini collection, which inculdes three jackets of our own indiviudal design. There's also the chance to work with a textiles student to develop the fabric provided for our jackets! Personally im really excited by this brief - the group part sounds like it might be a challenge, but im eager to dive straight in.
