The timing of the project was perfect, it was true to the real life happenings and buzz after a show at fashion week. The designers were happy to speak to us and it gave both sides a real kick as we were doing our prospective jobs. I revelled in finding out more from my designer, asking the questions I've always wanted to ask and learning more about her individual design process. The collaboration with Segue is great too, as it's a 'live' project there's a massive improvement on the excitement factor from the usual university project that gets handed in and handed back. Our work will be read by our fellow students, teachers and fashion industry in a great context, what could be better? A piece in Vogue maybe!? But, you know what I mean! Overall, it was a great opportunity that I thoroughly enjoyed.
I think to make sure next years students know that the trip is so near the FMP deadline would be a good idea (if you're not planning an extension this time). I think you have to keep the same time to go because of the atmosphere if nothing else!
