Today we started with brainstorming for our final projects: the creations of a complete, life-size, runway-ready outfit. In groups, students thought about different styles, messages, time periods, and more that they wanted exemplify in their final pieces. We took a quick break to explore the world of advertisement and magazine design, making our own ads for high fashion brands like Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel. Following, we took a field trip to Jo Ann’s fabric store to buy fabrics and other materials we needed for the final projects. Once we got back, we were all very eager to start working on our ambitious projects, pulling out the sewing machines and tape measures right away!
