Project Proposal | FMP

Throughout this course I have been concentrating on fashion and clothing which I have been really enjoying. I have learned a lot whilst doing it like pattern cutting, designing, researching and sewing techniques, but in my last project before going onto my final major project I wanted to see how well I could do a project on an interior design so i could have a clear idea of what I wanted to do for my final project. I am glad I did this because I have learned that I am stronger in all areas of researching, designing and making in fashion. My last project wasn't my best as i wanted to learn lots of new techniques but i underestimated the amount of time this would take, so unfortunately ran out of time and the outcome was undeveloped in relation to what i originally wanted to make.
Section 2: Project Concept

UAL Awarding Body Level 3 Extended Diploma Project Proposal Doc.

I intend to design and produce a bag which fashion bloggers will love and style effectively. I will research current popular fashion bloggers who create fashion trends by pairing and styling different type pieces which would not normally go together. I am going to do this by reading their blog posts and asking fashion bloggers themselves what qualities they look for when buying a bag. I will also research into what bags are on the market already along with the styles which work well. By doing this I will be able to design a bag which will be unique but meets the needs of on trend fashion enthusiasts. I am going to take a lot of my inspiration from Pinterest as this shows a lot of unique and different ideas all in one places where I can produce new and adventurous designs. I have decided to use leather as my chosen material because it is associated with elegance, and expensive, as fashion bloggers do not mind paying more for high end items if they are keeping up with current trends and the items are well made. I am going to research high end designers to take inspiration from and help me to design the best possible bag. Im going to present my bag on a mannequin so you can see the feel for the look i am trying to achieve, along with three final presentation boards, one being a mood board with all my initial ideas and the others are my final boards with my professional studio photos and shoot photos which will be in the style of fashion bloggers, which will all be recorded on my blog.

Section 3: Evaluation

So i can keep on track, i am going to write and stay closely to a journal and a weekly planner to ensure i do not fall behind and so i can make sure i do everything i need to do in the right order, to make my project the best it can be. I am going to work closely with my peer review buddy and having 1 to 1’s with my tutor to ensure that i am going in the right direction and to see if i can improve in any areas of my work.
