Easter break - Term review

Finally it's time for a little break. This term I have worked really really hard to get everything done. It was a busy time and I didn't really have time to relax or anything. But the result wasn't too bad. I'm not 100% happy with my score, but I've tried hard and I am going to try harder next term anyway. Now it's time for a relaxing time before a new term with all the work. I'm excited thinking about the placements as well! Summer time!

Toile review

We've done our toile review today. I got some very helpful feedback from the tutors; And it means I would have to change a lot as well.

• The bodice needs to be a bit wider
• The dress needs to be longer
• 2 layers are going to be satin on satin instead of lace over satin
• Roses are going to be silver, not red

The dress is meant to look puffy and big. However, as long as it begins right below the bust, it make the model looks a bit pregnant. So I'm thinking about sorting that out as well.

Lectra Feedback

Again, I'm not happy with the result I got. I'm so not good with computers.

Internships

A week of applying and I got 2 internships to do this summer. Not bad at all! First I'm going to Copenhagen to work for Simon Rasmussen. He's a Danish stylist. I will basically be his assistant and help him with his fashion show this summer as well. I've never seen a stylist having their own fashion show before, so this is going to be exciting! I really like Simon's work. I think he's talented and working for him will be a nice experience to have. It's going to be a lot of work to do in order to get to Denmark, but I can handle it (Hopefully!).

After Denmark, I'm going to Malaysia to work for Blush!. It's a lingerie outlet of DKNY, Maidenform and Princesse Tam Tam in Asia. I will be working directly under the Managing Director in their Merchandise Department. Sounds good.

Shan Shan

Shan Shan's a Chinese girl living in Japan. She is known through her Lookbook. I really like her way of putting things together. She looks effortless and maybe a bit random, but it's not random. It's hard to imagine that she's 30 and is already married!

The toiling is still going on. It's a bit frustrating to be honest. Making something that is tight-fitted is not easy at all. I did it, got it wrong, unpicked, did it again, got it wrong, unpicked, did it again, still wrong, more unpicking... Oh dear....

"A unusual day"

Designer: Minh Tu

I really like the designs. Fashion is Vietnam has been improving a lot lately. And I'm going to be one of the people who improve it more and more.

This is a nice photo seri with nice designs as well. But the model is WAYYY TOOOO SKINNY!! Gosh!! Girls in my country are mostly skinny but this??...

Design chosen

I've been working on the project for a while, and today the design I'm going to make is chosen.

It's the one with the roses all over the front. I'm excited! Can't wait to see it in reality.
