My first term in 3rd year has been an exciting and challenging time, where I have learned lots of new skills, and pushed myself to harness these skills as much as possible.
I started the term by developing the concept for my final collection. My collection is called: Quintessentially British: By the Seaside The collection is an ironic exploration into the everyday lives of people who live and work in British coastal towns, in contrast to the tourists who go to holiday there. Juxtaposing both contemporary and historical imagery of vibrant, quirky and kitsch seaside holidays, with the everyday realities of the local fishermen. Once I had established my concept I started researching and designing, developing the toiles for my first two outfits by the end of the term. These outfits are: An elegant twist on classic dungarees, with a silk shirt and quirky printed roll-neck underneath. A floor-length denim coat, with traditional denim detailing on an unconventional, sophisticated silhouette. I have decided to make my collection from sustainable denim, as I am interested in the long-lasting authentic nature of denim, which is now complemented by advancements in denim to make it less harmful to the environment. Alongside my collection I have also written and submitted my dissertation, which analysed emotionally durable design as a possible solution to sustainability. I really enjoyed writing my dissertation and have chosen to extend it in order to build further upon my research. I have also been working on a competition for ISKO denim, a sustainable denim supplier, which has built on my knowledge for my final collection. I have now entered my second term of 3rd year, which I am sure will bring new challenges and learning experiences.
