London Fashion Week

 London Fashion Week


This week took place in February 20th until the 24th. One of the trends that I noticed was a range of different collars and shoulder styles, these would generally be classed as out there and out oft the norm as the lengths of these. I found this really interesting as the way that these completely change the the garments shape and how it can make them more interesting. 

I think that seeing this will help me with my designs, especially in the future when we learn collars, as I can see how this small part of a garment can completely change the shape and the style. It will also give me ideas on designs for when I come to this portion of work. 



Whilst I was researching London Fashion Week for my sustainability brief, I learned that for January 2026 fashion brands will have to fill out a plan too be more sustainable and reach sustainability requirements that are already in place. London Fashion Week also became one of the first major fashion weeks to ban the use of exotic skins, like crocodile, which I think is a very important step to take to help stop animal exploitation. This will also help people to think about sustainable alternatives they could use or create.

I think this is a great idea as it means that brand shave to be responsible in this area to be apart of the show. It will also help these brands to think about suitability before the show and when they are making collections prior to this show so they can be accepted without them having to change anything to meet requirements. 

I think this will also help to inspire other brands or individual creators/ artists to be more sustainable as it is being promoted at the London Fashion Week as they are seeing brands they may be inspired by.

Week Ten.

 Week Ten.     In pattern cutting this week, we finalised our skirt designs that we had drawn at home. I think my skirt designs where successful because I have explored a range of skirt styles whilst still making sure they all relate to each other. I did this by making a start design and adjusting this about it, for example, the godet size, length or number of panels.    In our next lesson we started to make our pattern for our skirt, I decided to go with my design for a six gored panel skirt with four godets. I made this pattern by reflecting to previous bookwork to remind me of the steps. I think this went well as my pattern works. I know this because when we made our toiles for the skirt at home everything lined up and was correctly measured.     At home this week I made my toile for my skirt, this went well as I learnt my pattern w orks and I had no issues when sewing this together.     In textiles this week I started to work ...

  Blog Twelve. In Pattern cutting, this lesson, I finished off making my skirt. I added the zip with an invisible zip foot which went well. I'm proud of how my zip has turned out as you cant see it beneath the fabric of the skirt. After I used the normal zip foot to attach the skirt together, this was harder to do as you can't get as close to the seam, however, the seams still looks neat from the outside. At home all I had to do was attach the facing and undertsitched it,so i'm proud of my progress and completing my skirt in good time.  In my last lesson before the hand in I made sure all my work was presented well and I stuck in the final photos of my skirt that I had evaluated. I'm glad that I managed to hand in all my work on time.  In textiles this week I made sure that my work was ready to hand in for Friday. I did this by printing out and repeating my final designs and adding in my recent samples to help show my development in my sketchbook.  In my final lesson...

Work experience - Day one

Work Experience  Today was my first day of work experience at a secondary schools textile department and I started by preparing the screen printing station for the year seven students. I located the screen printing inks and squeegees and put these aside so that they can be used for the teacher demonstration. I decided to put out a range of sizes of these so that the teacher can choose which size of frame she wants to use in her demonstration. Once she decided this I then put away the larger size so that the area wasn’t cluttered. As this was my first time screen printing I was a bit apprehensive as I wand t sure how to do it but once I had watched the demonstration I was confident I would be able to help.    I helped the students put ink on there frames and hold them down when they print to ensure there’s less wastage of dyes. To further make less waste I scrape excess ink into the pot between prints. After everyone has screen printed I made sure to wash all the supplies ...
