week 1 15th sept

September 15th- enrolment at Leeds college of art and design to begin my three year fashion course. i decided to become a student at Leeds because i love the city and the course. the course i chose was not for any particular goal in life but because i love fashion and believe it can change the way people feel about themselves. i hope to use luxurious fabrics in my designs because they will have been designed to stand the test of time. the beginning of the course was as expected, dull and tedious thanks to the welcome chats, and the 'necessary' health and safety meeting. the day out in Manchester however was a pleasant break, i had never been to Manchester before but i must admit i found it similar to every other city. apart from the social Aspect to the first week of college the highlight for me was picking the electives, millinery was my favoured subject. i was also interested in the gender studies but thanks to the timetable and my holidays i would not have been able to complete it. the week was finished by the handing in of the summer work, which i was disappointed with. i did not really get interested in the college summer work as it was asked to be completed outside of a file, and i find that working into a book and making a collection is my preferred style of working. as we only got the file to read during the first week i read it over the weekend. hoping that on Monday we might be doing something constructive.
