Intensive Week.

The most exciting part of studying abroad for me is that i shall be mixed with students from all over the world. I see this as a huge opportunity to realise how different cultures and backgrounds encourage students to work and how it compares to myself.
Although it's incredibly daunting (studying fashion in the fashion capital) I just couldn't wait to be set the first project and crack on with some work!  - mainly because I feel a little out of my depth and secretly can't wait to compare my skills to other people who are fighting for a spot in the fashion industry the same as I!

During the first week at my new university, NABA Academy, we were set a project which was due to be complete within a week. We had to come up with a concept, design a capsule collection of t-shirts and make 2 prototypes of the garments. I promised myself that when I moved out to Milan that I was going to use this experience to try new things when designing and discover specifically what I am really good at and bad at, in hope of finding what it is exactly I want to do when I leave university and into working life. With this in mind, I chose to experiment with menswear for the t-shirt project. I was very happy with the outcome of my project and so was our tutor! (Happy dance)

I was overwhelmed with how impressed my tutor was for this project and instantly lost any feeling of concern that I may not be good enough to be here... I'm definitely in the right place.
