Presenting Your Work

Project Four - Industry

How Did You Collaborate? Were You Successful?

Presentation Board. 

Today was our presentation, we had to present to the tutors and the whole fashion textiles as well as fashion promotion. We had up our mood boards and brainstorms as well some of our samples. I pinned up some of my samples on mannequin head as well as the stands.  Nerves kicked in as we had to all talk about our work and contribution to the project. I felt like we worked really well as a team. No regrets, just the occasional, 'I wish I said something instead of nodding along'. Me personally, I like to work and independently but since we had some confident characters in our group, my voice became irrelevant and ignored. In doing so, my work has been clumsy, going down different routes, for example, I have  wood, underwater and honeycomb collection, which are all very different, but I was told to do these without listening to my original idea about the sea creatures which was our groups initial starting point to the project, but they didn't let me know about the honeycomb idea until I had already starting developing on the sea creature concept. Thereby my work has come across clumsy and un-organised. By far the worst body of work that I have done.

The main focus of this project for me was the footwear. I wanted come up with a really unique collection of footwear for Iris as she is very well known for her footwear. These are my final designs.

Final Footwear Collection

I created my footwear so that it is quite commercial, I know that Iris doesn't really create commercial wear, but for this I tried to modernising it with the aim that these could actually be sold. At the end of the presentation, the judges gave us the critics and also told us the votes for the presentations. The tutors had put us in 3rd place and we also received the peoples choice award (the students favourite presentation) which I was over the moon about.
