Refinement Week 5

This week has been an intense one as most of us had the CP2 deadline to complete; my work has lost a tiny bit of momentum this week, but is all a learning curve in managing tasks and finding a balance between responsibilities, especially approaching final year and CP3. 

Final line-up selection with Tess and Zsofi.
Selection of colour palette, most potential samples, and a rough final line-up were made, in a collective decision from Zsofi, Tess and myself. I feel we are working strongly as a team, and everything is fitting in to place. Meeting with Lucia, the director of the Cuckoo performance at the start of the week was a tiring but extremely insightful experience. Getting the opinion of someone not only without a design background, but the director with her own personal expectations and performance know-how has been imperative. She felt strongly about the costumes working as a "collective unit", which is crucial for the cohesiveness of the stage. The possibility of each of the groups incorporating an element of 'the tree' was agreed, and we have much to consider in terms of the performers movement and the possibility of the costume "distracting" from the overall performance. This is new uncharted territory for us as Textile/Fashion designers, and is a context loaded with many considerations.

Meeting with the director, insightful collaborative effort from all groups. 

   
Red on red multi-head, very pleased with this sample.
