This summer i went back to my old secondary school to help out with the end of year fashion show. It showcases work from the whole of year 9 and the GCSE textiles group who are in the picture. Their task was to design and make a corset based on the Surrealism movement, whilst the year 9 pupils had to make a whole outfit to reflect their chosen art movement. The emphasis each year is on 'Radical Fashion' and some of the ideas were amazing! Since starting my uni course i have realised that sewing is really not my strong point, but going back and helping the class made me realise i have come such a long way since i was at school. For example i must have fitted about 30 zips throughout the day, something which i struggled to do in the first year of uni, infact i seem to rememeber taking a whole day just to do 1!
