The pitch is simple... its a guide in how to get into the most competitive industry known is the fashion industry. There are a lot of young designers hoping to get into the design industry but some don't have a clue how to for fill their dreams. I wont to expose this formula that has been in this industry for decades.. a step by step guide or my turn out to be some inside knowledge.
Who would I interview?
Sarah: Is a young designer that comes from Cambridge, whose one of long road's ex pupils, while she was there she studied Art & Design, Business Studies and Design Technology (textiles). After she went to Coventry University a former fashion student. Sarah also took home the title of the year at the prestigious Midlands Fashion Awards after impressing the judges with her range of designs inspired by the seasonal changes to plant life. So I tried contacting her via email. Unfortunately she was going through job changes and she was currently in Reading it was bad timing for her. Never the less her view would have been appreciated, coming from the perspective of a uni fashion graduate even if she didn't pursue in the fashion industry.
Long Road: I wanted to Interview Linn, Sarah's Textile teacher at Long. This was going to give information on the subject this was to be the first stepping stone into fashion. Then would have talked about what makes a student succeed and stand out from the other inspiring designers wanting to make it. a little bit about the teacher her self, what makes her qualified to teach this subject as well as her own experiences with textiles.
Multiple Universities: Bath Spa, St Martins, Nottingham Trent, Coventry - This will be achieved when I go to the opening evenings, however I first need to send an email to each one explaining what I'm doing with a camera and ask for permission to film in the university. I got replies both from Bath and Trent saying it was fine, but I had no reply from St Martins on of the most prestigious universities for upcoming fashion designers as well as Coventry.
Fashion Week: 'It's Fashion Week in London!' perfect opportunity to ask designer already in the fashion industry a couple of question on how they made it and advice for young designers hoping to be the next trendy designer.
Unfortunately, Sarah and my timetables clashed so this pitch wasn't practical to put into motion.
