Moving Forward.....Why do I create?
Welcome to our NEW community and classroom, its absolutely NOT the same and I miss all you beautiful faces. But here is a place for us to Start to have discussions and share ideas and pictures with one another. A place for Inspiration and New Ideas, to share and to come together.
I would like to invite all of you to make a Blog of your journey through this historical time. It is a place where we can comment and watch one another progress and journey. They will all be unique and different. We will all have a different path and take a different journey. Please go to blogger.com and set up your own account. This is a place where you will post a visual and written component of your weekly progress. It should have a focus on making and fashion, and although personal information will be shared please keep the focus on the course and save other personal pictures and information for other social media sites. As well as creating your own Blog I also ask that you comment on others blogs weekly. This will be a fin way to connect and give feedback to one another. So how do we move forward when everything we had planned has changed?!?! Fashion is about creating with our hands, and making a statement that says something to the world. The world is changing before our eyes right now. I ask you, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ANS HOW CAN YOU CREATE IT?Here is a response to a student from Central Saint martin's in London after finding out that the studio will be closed to students for the remainder of the year, “Of course, the show is important, because of the physicality of fashion. But you have 400 people that actually attend it, and then the rest of the world sees it online anyway. Maybe this situation will allow us to develop a way of conveying work in a more interesting way than just a few catwalk photos. It might not be the outcome we had in mind setting out, but design's all about adaptation,” he finishes with. “It’s about assessing the situation you face and responding to it."Sam Jamieson, a student on the school’s MA in Menswear.
We have to be brave and strong right now and find away to adapt that inspires us and others.We have to view the world through a different lens in a different manner. This lens may be different for all of you!
