When I first started at WMC I didn't know what exactly to expect, but through my exploratory stage of the course I experienced and explored a range of many different things that I enjoyed as they helped me accomplished a new style of working which suits me much better than what I was use to doing, no wonder uni's recommend a foundation course! Even though its only been 4 months I feel that I have developed in a way that makes me ready for entering the hyena style industry.
If I go back to that very first day when we were thrown into the deep end and asked to make a garment on the stand with only calico and pins, I recall that from that moment I felt the will and power that a practical first day releases in you and from this I knew this was the course for me where I will develop and explore many new things. We have done a variety of many pathways through different mini projects and now I am completely sure that womanswear is the pathway for me! I think I could now say that I really enjoyed the reconstruction/ deconstruction project as it really loosened the way I work practically, it was really inspirational and is the only project that I can conclude as a complete success, I didnt experience any failures or any sort of letdowns.
The oversized project I missed but did on my own as extra work at home was a very influential project for me as I was on my own, I can now admit it was a struggle but with my interest in this upcoming trend I overcame the hurdles and decided that I would adapt the jacket to a style of my own:

I added a detail of my own on the collar and instead of leaving it as a normal pointed collar, I decided I would fold it over and that's when I got the idea of the stitch detailing.

This image is of my test of a welt pocket, I thought it would be interesting if I taught my self this technique and applied it to my blazer, I enjoyed teaching myself this as it was easy to do and it helped me boost my confidence in learning new things!
The sketchbook page above is a plan of how I
would eventually make the jacket and the final
expected outcome.
The miniture project was also a project that I enjoyed but I think that it could be something that I expand and adapt as I dont think I gave it my all or really researched in depth to create a final outcome that was more my style, I think if I had maybe put a narrative story behind it and created designs according to the ups and downs of the story I would of had a load of designs that could be used for design development and to portray the expressive me.
Attending the Tim walker exhibition enabled me to look at fashion as an expressive art, using structure and inspirational objects to achieve a photo that you can unpick and re-create, this is how I unpicked my research from the exhibition in my sketchbook below:
