In the 6th classes I\u2019ve taken at FIT, there isn\u2019t one aspect of my work that hasn\u2019t improved. Truthfully, it\u2019s a little embarrassing to look at my old work and think that I was actually that terrible. Even though I need to work a lot more, I\u2019m proud of my work. Now, the fabric I render…actually looks like fabric! And the shoes look like shoes and the faces don\u2019t look like aliens!<\/p>\n

Today in class I worked on rendering tulle, which still needs some work. Shoes are probably the hardest for me. Even though I have tons of ideas for shoes, they always seem a little odd looking to me. I\u2019m trying not to be too hard on myself because I want to focus on Apparel though, and my garment detailing has definitely gotten better.<\/p>\n

I have my portfolio interview with FIT December 3rd, and I\u2019m incredibly nervous. I\u2019ll probably be sketching up until I actually get called in. However, I have gotten some tips on interview advice, so I\u2019ll share it with you. First, (I got this from Tim Gunn\u2019s book, haha) when asked who your favorite designers are, try to include an American designer. In response to this question, most people ramble off a few european designers.\u00a0 European designers are great, but if you\u2019re going to a fashion design school in America, you might want to show some background knowledge of designers who went to an American design school. (Calvin Klein went to FIT!) Also, it helps if you pronounce the names right. Second, you should know the construction details of the garments that you sketch. This is what I would equate to knowing the materials you use in fine arts. How can you design clothing if you don\u2019t know how it\u2019s put together? Garments have seams, a point of entry, hemlines, pockets, etc.<\/p>\n

For the remainder of the semester, I\u2019m working on getting my portfolio finished and ready for interviews and college applications.<\/p>\n
