Naughty Fda!

After a very successful trip into Bournemouth town centre with Jo, I feel like I have a clearer understanding of what features are hot right now. It was clear that statement collars were key in this a/w with fur and asymmetric zips hinting at the whole biker look.
We did have to be a bit sneaky whilst in the stores when taking pictures but I did manage a few secret snaps...

Today we also had another great group tutorial. After a shakey start to the week I am feeling like we are making some real progress and we are all in agreement of the brief. Have a good weekend bloggers!

Ultimo WOW!

I just wanted to post about my inspirations as part of my devellopment on the course.
Michelle Mone founded Ultimo (MJM Limited). Ultimo revolutionised the lingerie industry and broke America with her innovative cleavage-enhancing bras.
Michelle continues to launch new products and has been recognised worldwide as one of the most successfull business women of all time, despite leaving school aged 15 with no qualifications.
This case of sheer hard-work and determination is truly inspiring. It gives me hope :)

Duality...


The key duality image that we created for our presentation.....

:(

Stress stress stress stress! AHHHH!

Thought I'd post to tell you I'm having a bit of a flap!

We had another team meeting yesterday about our new project. 'Traces'.
And now Nancy and I are about to start our concept boards and colour pallet boards ready for our scary presentation on Monday!

We have come up with the theme, 'Duality'. Expressing the split memories that mankind possess. Good and evil, happy and sad etc.

Here are some pictures of our work so far...

Technological genious!


Not really too important, but brilliant, I am currently posting on my blog from my iPhone!!! Aaaah!

First Week Back. Done.

Oh my days! Hayleigh Dalton is BACK to reality. For sure.

Here goes..

I am blogging to you currently surrounded by project briefs, learning agreements, logbooks and only a weeks full of notes but I assure you, my desk is overloading.
This first week back has been full on, to say the least, but I feel that I am back in the swing of things. I think the first year taught me to be resilient with the workload, but I am starting to realise this is nothing like the first year at all....

We have been given a blinder of a project, let me tell you.
Both us Promoters and the Designers have collabortaed to make a collection about the theme of 'memories'. We are in groups of five. Including myself we have;
Nancy(promoter)
Scott(designer)
Laura(designer)
Phillipa(designer)

Might I say. I realise it has only been a week, but I have never experienced a team quite like this one. These four are uber professional, thoughtful and creative people I have ever worked with and I am very excited about this collaboration. More on this story as it develops....
