The new Briefs..

So strange but its true, we have been given the last two briefs of our first year at college (wow time has gone fast, still can't believe it.) The last two briefs are all to do with designing and manufacturing our final garment for our end of year Catwalk show. Following the last two briefs I felt that designing wasn't my strongest area however it grew on me and I am slowly starting to feel more confident with designing but only time will tell... At this moment we have only broken down the brief, created a task list and time management plan (my two favourite things when breaking down the brief, as it makes me feel organised) a group discussion on the critical path and what we did today which was understanding creative thinking, which is basically learning to think outside the box really. Part of these briefs are to start researching into designers (contemporary and historical) and there concept of there collection, so to help me carry out this task I have taken out 'Alexander McQueens: Savage Beauty' from our college library. I did have a quick flick through the book before taken it out and my eye was drawn straight to the fabulous garments and his quotes behind his collection, so i'm so excited to get my head stuck in that book and get researching on his collections.
