So with London Fashion Week over for another season. I thought it would be a good time to put together a post sharing with you guys my full graduate collection. I studied BA Fashion Textile at Middlesex University, graduating last summer so this post is probably long overdue, however since leaving university I haven't really had time to reflect and look back on the last 3 years as I went straight into a temp job to save for travelling. However I am now here in Thailand with all the time in the world to reflect and well plan for the future.
I had studied fashion since GCSE it being the only subject I was interested in and well soon to learn my passion, I continued to study all the way to degree level. So when it came to creating and designing what was to be my graduate collection it was a very surreal time and I wanted to create a collection that I would love and always look back on and be proud. Specialising in knitwear I chose to knit my entire collection and believe me when I say my life and soul went into those 6 looks. I have never worked so hard before in my life and by the end I was psychically and emotionally exhausted. However it was all worth it and would I do it again. Most definitely it was the best experience of my life, when I look back I find it so hard to believe that I managed to do it, the sleepless nights and the early morning starts seriously it was all such a blur at the time, but it was the most fun I have ever had AND the feeling when you finish and see your work walk down the runway, my god you just crumble aha. I cried both times.
