V&A: #MakingIt13

Today I visited the V&A to listen to lectures, attend seminars, get involved and watch demonstrations all revolved around their youth collective for art and design. I really enjoyed the visit and found the lectures to be beneficial.

The first lecture I attended was about Careers in the Fashion Industry and was held in The Lydia and Manfred Gorvy Lecture Theatre. I was able to meet two representatives from The British Fashion Council who gave a presentation about the variety of job opportunities provided in fashion and advice on internships.

There were other lectures I attended and in addition I attended a seminar about interviews which was quite fun as we got to record each other. I was also able to see Claire Marie who was from Hermès demonstrate how they make their bags - this was really interesting!

Overall the experience was fantastic so I thought I share it with you and recommend it as an event to attend in the future.

NEWSFLASH

It's pretty sad that Brian Griffin has died, so I've made this post to cheer everyone up (I'm joking, unless this does happen to make you happy in which case, that's great). Nevertheless I'm actually announcing the opening of my new (additional) blog: punkhaux.blogspot.com. The blog has been set up to work alongside my A Level art/design/textile studies and I'm hoping to start sales/giveaway items also. Keep checking both blogs to keep updated, in the meantime here's another post...

MGMT - Time To Pretend

A/W Picks

Here are some of my favourite items in the stores at the moment. I'm really excited by the fact that tartan seems to be around so much as it fits in really well with my current A Level project. I've always admired tartan as it's such an adaptable material:

- Check Embellished Tee, Topshop

- Grafea Leather Backpack, Urban Outfitters

- Vintage Black and White Shawl, Waiste

- Suede High Flatform Trainers, Missguided

- Geometric Print Sweater, Urban Outfitters

- Heart Print Nightshirt, Topshop

- Bardot Crop Top, Missguided

- Colour Block Peplum Dress, River Island

 



 

I have to admit that I'm really lusting for most of the items in Topshop's 'This Is England' range, which is where the Check Embellished Tee is from. Urban Outfitters have got a lovely feature on their site where you can 'shop instantly' from clicking on photos. This is such a great advertisement technique and makes the clothing so fun to look through. In addition, the Bardot Crop Top seems to be really good value at £4.49, thank goodness for Missguided!
