Week 15

This Monday we had another tutorial with asleene but this time it was individual. I had got my sketchbook more together and I had come up with my 20 designs but asleene wanted to me to take them a bit further and do some design development so that I could take a few of my favourite designs and work on them to create my final design!
Buying & Merchandising!
For this new topic we had a teacher called Jo who had alot of experience in the industry as she had actually previously been a buyer for companies such as Tesco and Adams and she now runs her own business called Kite kids where she sells an organic childrens clothes range! So with her experience being a buyer we had alot to learn from her so she told us about all the different roles there are of being a fashion buyer and how different roles in the industy work together. Jo also tols us about the retail enviroment and included her own expereince so it was really interesting as I didnt realise what all the roles actually involved!
