Well, I can officially say that my 2nd year as a fashion student is complete and I am halfway to getting my degree!!
Luckily for university students, we look forward to a 4 month long summer after an intense, usually sleepless 8 months of school. After designing dresses for Plum, creating a lifestyle brand, designing coordinates, drafting and sewing jackets and coats, designing active streetwear for Lululemon Lab, drafting and sewing menswear, and not to mention, all the Gerber work (computer drafting), this is a well deserved summer!
These past 8 months have literally been a blur, but the one thing that has always been clear and constant is the 36 faces we see every single second of every single day.
These people aren't just classmates, they are family. They are the people you collaborate with, problem solve with, laugh with, and cry in a bathroom stall with when there are too many flats to make, and too many garments to spec.
Whenever there are intense deadlines we can always count on each other for support and some humour... just to make it less painful- I mean.. stressful... We practically know everything about each other, and things get weird in the drafting room late at night... everybody's crazy and weird personalities come out, which makes after hour drafting a "you had to be there moment"!
During the summer, some of these people move back 'home-home', which means we dont get to see each other for 4 months.. which is a weird feeling when you spend 8 months together! But regardless, once school starts up again, things pick up where they left off, and another crazy fun year is about to begin!
We've got some sarcastic assholes, and rays of sunshine, and the 36 of us combined make up one hell of an awesome group of people!
