About Me

My great grandfather was a tailor, my great grandma was a seamstress, and my mother has worked in garment design and construction. I am inspired by my family’s history as I have been fascinated by the world of fashion from a young age, and I would like to think that one day I will follow in my fellow ancestor’s footsteps.
My digital portfolio consists of an assortment of my work produced over the previous two years. I have selected examples of both, my recent pieces of work and my GCSE work, including drawing, designer research and photography but my main interest has been garment design and construction.  The garments I have created are all based on certain themes and initial ideas, which I have developed and backed up by research and samples, and are demonstrated in my sketchbooks. By using a theme, I believe I have shown my originality and creativity in each module of the curriculum.
My personal pieces of work, such as my Prom dress which was a copy of a Sherry Hill, and the examples of travel photography (the pictures taken at Lymm Dam) are hobbies I have enjoyed doing in my leisure time. I also enjoy observational drawing and sketching. I like to explore different perspectives of art and design as this enables me to develop new skills.
I would be more than delighted to be considered for a place at MMU for fashion because I believe this course has a lot to offer me in terms of working towards my dream career in the fashion industry. I also feel I have the enthusiasm and commitment to succeed. I am more than willing and excited at the prospect of learning new skills and working along with my fellow students and tutor to achieve my goal.
