Patten Cutting
This activity was for us to achieve an understanding of seams and how fabric patterns can be transformed with the use of different techniques.
Using out basic pattern block we transferred this onto dot and spot paper and added a seam allowance of 2cm around the outside using a pattern master.
We then had to form our paper dress on the stand ensuring that we had draw on the centre front with a red pen along with the balance lines and use a tracing wheel to transfer where the darts would form on the dress. We then placed sellotape over the whole dress form to hold when taken off the manikin.
Once the dress was covered in tape we had to place lines on the dress which would represent seams, which we would cut apart to form individual shapes.
After we had drawn our seams it was a case of ensuring all the individual shapes laid flat in oder for us to see the pattern and decide whether or not we wanted to manipulate it, in order to create: gathers, flare etc.

Gok's Road Show Fashion Fix
During this week we came across a chance to see Gok's Fashion Fix, it was a great experience to see the show live! The show consists of Gok working on a tight budget buying high street clothing, working against Brix who purchases designer products and the audience have to guess which 4 models are wearing high street and designer.
Pure London

1,100 brands of womanswear, footwear and accessories
22 catwalks across 2 venues
I found Pure a great experience to see how buying works and how up coming designers go about making their brands stand out. Their was a wide variety of different trends between all the brands all incorporating different textures and colours. A brand that really stood out for me was Angel Eye Fashion, they focused on future trends and incorporating quite a vintage look.
