The First Day

Taking the Tube from my Cousins' flat in Maida Vale to Kings Cross Station on the first day was incredibly exciting. Meeting the staff inside the busy building was quite overwhelming with so many names and faces to remember, but they all seemed very charming and welcoming.

My supervisor and Head of Design, Lucy Rowland held a meeting to update me and the rest of the design team on the S/S 16 collection and its progress. Lucy, only just arrived back from MIDO, a large eyewear trade fair held in Milan. The eyewear calendar starts much earlier than fashion as the production of luxury materials such as silver and titanium takes a while to sample and manufacture.
Therefore the office have completed the designs for S/S 16  and shall be finalising their colours and materials this week. Everything within the office is done at a fast pace and efficiency, holding regular meetings to keep everyone up to speed.

The first day, I came to understand the entirety of the next collection with the collaborative products and I was shown briefly how the Linda Farrow team works together. I was also assigned a side project, which is extremely exciting. without giving too much away, the brief is to create a new look for a very well established modern band and to pitch the idea.
