Brief 05—Fashion Collab

The fashion collabs were a bit of a weird one. I've seen the end of year show, and looked at 3rd year blogs for 2 years in advance and I was so excited for the fashion collaborations to happen, but they disappointed somewhat. Disappointed in myself more than anything. Both the girls have made some really great garments, and I know they both work really hard, but when you don't get any content to work with until 2 days before print, it's pretty hard to come up with anything particularly special. I know as student some briefs are live and some are entirely fictitious, but when a brief if neither, there doesn't seem any point in progressing a nothing brief. Perhaps it is unnecessary to mention another student here, but Arthur's Hioni brand is definitely one of the best briefs undertaken this module, and I think part of that is due to the fact it to controlled it to a completely fictitious direction as his collaboration has been prospered until after hand in. However I am generally pretty happy with the outcomes, particularly the look books. The idea of triplexxing everything is great, until the client doesn't want to pay for it and I had to mock everything up, again all with little time. I got some okay photos of the products for Winnie, but I'd like to expand the range for my portfolio. I didn't get any photos of Naomi;s as it got printed the day of her hand in, so I didn't get a chance. I was perhaps a little too polite to let that happen. I am feeling positive about finishing these projects after hand in for both the girls exhibition and my portfolio.
