first semester - foundation










having just got out of high school, I decided to take a Foundation course in Polimoda Fashion Institute (www.polimoda.com) in Florence, Italy, to learn the basis before applying to Fashion Design.
we learned how to draw and some coloring tecniques. basic things on photoshop, how to sew and make patterns, to knit and how to design.
the project for the first semester was to get inspiration from one of the catwalks show (i chose alexander mcqueen's plato's atlanis...who unfortunately died when i was almost finished with my project. R.I.P.) and create a book with pictures and mood and everything realted to our inspiration. then we had to design bags and choose one of them to sew and present on the day of our exam.
since i had absolutely no back up on sewing, drawing nor design, i was really happy with the results.
