Hey everyone,
Just wanted to make a quick post about a few different topics! I haven't written about my knitwear class in a long time. Mostly because we have been simply making swatches of different techniques and preparing our final project. The final is due on May 27th, so it is really crunch time over here. My inspiration this quarter is elephant skin - I love the textural qualities, and it's been really cool to translate that into knitwear. I need to photograph my sketch, mood board, and progress so far to share it with you! I will do that tomorrow and post it here by Saturday.
As far as footwear goes, we have critiqued our designs to death (4 times now!) and we're ready to focus on the final presentation. For Thursday, we will have some thumbnail sketches drawn out of how we want to present the final design concept. We'll have several pages explaining the concept, the trend it follows, our target market, and of course a few pages to communicate the design itself. Footwear is kind of on the backburner right now since knitwear is due long before it.
Finally, internships! I interviewed all April, and I don't remember if I announced it here or not, but at the beginning of May I was offered an internship position at Fossil. I'll be moving to Texas in mid-June to work in the women's leather accessories department. I'm very excited, I've always wanted to go to Texas, and I already have my housing lined up with some other girls from my school. I can't believe how quickly this quarter has gone! This summer I want to work on majorly overhauling my design portfolio, and I want to blog about that process here to help everyone else put together a beautiful exhibit of their work. I'll also be working on my 2nd wedding dress order this summer (the 1st is in progress right now!) so I have a feeling I'll be quite busy!
Anyway, that's all for now, just thought I'd stop in and let you all know what's coming up!
Love, Elizabeth
