Day One: Eleanor

 Morning Activities: This morning we had our first sewing lesson with Ms. Lucarini, we started off with the basics, learning on how to turn the sewing machine on and off, how to make bobbins and how to thread the sewing machine. We also practiced sewing in a straight line on fabric squares, creating these mazes on the patches. After that, we went on to learning how to hem, which was also really fun. 


After lunch, we went on to decide the theme of our collection. We drafted a bunch ideas from simple ideas/starting points, some of the first starting points included 


  • Swamps 

  • Music & Albums 

  • Vintage/Retro Clothing 

  • The Moon Landing 

  • Tsunamis 


In the end we ended up combining the ideas of retro and the moon landing, and eventually decided on doing a collection that encompassed clothing from many different eras as well as the idea of ‘celestia’ being the thread connecting all the clothes throughout the different clothes. 


After that, we spent the last two hours doing research on our specific clothing eras as well as drafting up inspiration boards and doing the initial sketches of our design while Project Runway, a famous fashion competition show played in the background.

Day 2 - Rose

 Hello hello everybody! Rose is reporting the happenings of the Fashion J Term to all of yall! This morning it was super duper cold so I was very happy to be inside all day. We started our day by splitting into two groups and looking at collections by John Galliano. As what seems to be the case with a lot of fashion designers, he's a very problematic person - but man can that dude make an outfit! The collection my group looked at was Spring 2003, which was very bold, to say the least. We spent a long time analyzing the influences of the collection and analyzing their translation into the designs, focusing on the cohesion the pieces had with each other. Our group presented to the class, and we listened to the other groups presentation on their collection. Afterwards, we shared our moodboards, collages, and sketches of our own designs and talked as a group about the goals and themes of our collaborative collection. I'm not gonna spoil anything just yet, but make sure to expect pl...
