New design project is Sports v Fashion... my honest first thought was 'oh crap!', but i'm actually really into it now! I think that at first i was worried because i my knowledge of sportswear is very small, however, that meant that research was absolute essential. The amount of research i have done has really helped and i'm a lot more confident about the whole project having done it.
I chose to use 1920's sportswear as my inspiration and i will be using hard wearing performance fabrics such as Gore-tex and ripstop. My
philosophy will be something like 'Tradition meets Innovation' and i will be creating a collection for a collaboration with The North Face. So far so good but it does mean that i will have to construct a jacket, t-shirt and trousers for my finished outfit... no pressure there then!!! I'm actually quite excited about the construction part, its going to be sink or swim i afraid but i enjoy a challenge!
Note to self:need to start C.V and covering letter!!!
Will be starting Buying and merchandising this afternoon. i think i'm going to learn a lot from it and am kinda looking forward to it to!
