With A Little Help From My Friends

Do you ever hit a creative block in the middle of a big project? 

That's rhetorical because I'm positive many of you have. The fall semester of this year we all began to come up with our concepts for our collections and finalize the designs we planned on making this spring semester. I really do love my concept for this collection but felt a huge creative block when it came to transforming my ideas into clothing designs. My ideas were about 60% there.

The original ideas are now evolving and transforming, and are coming to life. With the help from feedback given by my classmates and teachers, I think each design has more interesting details
(which is what I felt was lacking). 

With all this being said, I have worked through a lot of ideas and with a little help from my friends I am getting there! Having friends/classmates available at my disposal at all times to give feedback is something I am trying not to take for granted. After four years of being around each other, it's safe to say we're comfortable giving constructive criticism when needed. This week I will be in the sewing lab from dusk until dawn finishing up the sample for my first look and actually constructing it. I'm writing this on a Wednesday, and my hope is that I will finish up my sample by tomorrow so I have the rest of this week and early next week to complete the actual look. Here's a peek at some original sketches that I either didn't choose to be a part of the collection, or have chosen but altered in some way.
