PPRD 5 Minute presentation
How did you get where you are today?
- My interest in fashion started in year 9 at school when i took up textiles. My projects were always more fashion based than textiles and when deciding my uni options in sixth form, my teacher suggested i consider a career in fashion - until this point i had wanted to become a police officer!
- I went on to complete a Foundation Diploma at what was then AIB. i initally choose to do fashion photography as my chosen pathway - i felt the fashion/textile pathway was to textile based and wanted to try something different. However i eventually settled on the fashion pathway.
- having had interviews at Central St Martins, Ravensbourne and Bath, i took up the offer of a place at Ravensbourne on their menswear course.
- Over the summer i had a few family issues - my dad got cancer - and i decided i wasnt ready to go away to uni just yet and so i deferred my place at ravensbourne until the following september.
- come that following summer, i recieved information from ravensbourne stating they had chnaged various aspects of their course. by this time i was having doubts about wether ravensbourne was the right uni for me - considering i had such a fantastic uni on my doorstep.
- eventually i contacted AIB and basically begged for them to allow me onto one of the fashion courses - met sarah and pat for an interview - got accepted went home and declined my ravensbourne place! best decision ive ever made!
Where are you now?
- over the summer i completed what turned into a 5 month placement with lmp models. i had a fantastic time, met loads of people, realised that as much as i loved the placement and the whole industry surrounding a model agency i really want to be a designer
- i have chosen to take the design pathway and i will be specialising in menswear design
- i have decided that i will definatly be doing the 3rd year top-up!
