I found this session very interesting, getting to learn about the history of letters, writing and alphabet and how it's linked to graphics and other areas of creative practises.

The last image that excited me was of a dress made out of recycled juice cartons. This is because of how amazing it looked and how it was even thought of! I found this whilst researching on past fashion projects!
I love my chosen area (fashion) as i have a passion for designing and being able to take an idea and expand on it in any way i choose! I have decided to study it further as i would like to gain new skills and experiences and broaden my knowledge of and around fashion.
At the end of the two years I would like to be studying my final year at Bower Ashton to get the full degree so i can go on to do something in the fashion designing area.
In the past i hav researched into many themes depending on my projects, i've looked at paper dress's/designers which i found really inspirational; nautical fashion, alot of historical fashion, architecture, kimono prints e.t.c,i enjoy taking more than one theme and mixing them to create something original.
What excites me now is watching tv shows about fashion projects, reading magazines looking at the images seeing whats new, my job in a retail clothes shop working around new styles e.t.c

What represents me?
I'd say a rainbow represents my personality in many ways; I may be quieter sometimes and keep more hidden, but when i get an idea i'm not afraid to stand out and show it from time to time. I would also describe my ideas/designs as being unique, like a rainbow?
Link to a 'New' fashion designer page

Here's a page I found on a designer I had never heard of before today. I love his dress designs, particularly the 'evening dresses'.

Video Of Interest Linking to Fashion

I find this advert very interesting in the way it's advertising fashion/clothing in an area (army) that you wouldn't usually link with fashion. I think this is done in a clever way, and by bringing in a celebrity as one of the main focus', makes people actually watch and take in whats going on within the advert and actually look at the clothes.
