Hello everyone!! It's me over at MDIS the other day!! :D
You know, when I first got to know that I'm going for a cash course over at MDIS School of Fashion and Design, I was really excited about it!! Cause I remember last time right, I was pretty interested in studying a fashion related course! Something more to fashion branding or marketing side, cause I think it would be really fun and at the same time, I feel that it's something that I'll enjoy doing in the future as well!
But the thing is, at that point of time, I'm clueless and know nothing about what the course is going to be like and whether it's really what I expected it to be! So eventually, I dropped the idea of it.
I think many of us (as a student) will surely come across this problem, where we are interested in studying and pursuing a particular course but yet we do not know whether it's suitable for us. And we would wanna know more about it before committing and even better if we can experience it and see if it's suitable!
I think it's really important, because most people tend regret their choices afterwards and mainly because they didn't bother to get to know more information (when they are choosing what they wanna study) or maybe for some, is that they do not know where to get more information from!
So I'm really happy this time round as I get to experience on how is it like to be a fashion student over at MDIS, as they are going to give me a crash course on it! Yay!!! Which is what you guys can also get to experience over at their up coming open house!! I'll fill you guys more on the open house later yeah!
For now, let me show you what I did as a 'one-day fashion student' and over at MDIS!
I was first bought to their fashion design studio which is where all their fashion student do their work at, and I feel that it's pretty well-equipped with all the essential stuff for the student to work with!
Some of the works by their student there!
And I heard their equipment there are all industrial standard, so which means it's what the real fashion industry outside are using! Which I feel it's really good cause what they are learning now, they can straight away apply it when they graduate and out for work as they are already prepared for it!
With Martin John Bonney, the lecturer who was with us that day!
He's explaining and telling us what the course is about and what are we going to do today!
But before that, he also showed us some of the quick sketches that he did! So nice omg!
Then he provided us with some paper and stationery to start us off with doing some sketch!
Students for the day: Me and Peishi!
We were told that we will be designing and making a head gear for that day, but still he wants us to develop our ideas by sketching out our whole outfit that goes together with our headgear! So it's more of a complete process by allowing our ideas to flow through! Sounds so exciting right? Hahaha!
Here's me looking serious while sketching out my outfit design!
And..... Tadahh!!!! This is what I drew for my outfit design! Nice anot lol?!
Adding on the heels to my outfit design!
Then finally the headgear!!!! Hahahaha!!!
I don't know why I drew that also though, but it just comes into my mind and as a fashion designer (well, at least for the day), I feel that no design is bad design because for design, it's pretty subjective and abstract so I'm sure someone will appreciate it (maybe Lady Gaga would right lol then I can earn alot of $$$$)!
Hahaha!!! And I was telling them for the inner curved part of the hat right, where it's facing the person who is wearing, there will be a mirror inside there so they can constantly check on how they look and it also would be a great help if they want to touch-up their makeup lolol! Not a bad idea righttttttt!
Actually I think that this hat that I design right, can be used it alot of ways one!
Like if you wanna study for exams, you can just also put your notes there so you can read it while wearing it! Or you can put your iPad mini or any other tablet in there to watch video on the go hahahahahaha!!! Omg thank you, I must faster go patent my design already! You all don't steal my idea hor!!!!
Me with my final design!!! And we are now going to do the prototype of my headgear out!!
Working with this bodiless mannequin for the day!
Martin John Bonney teaching us how we can make the prototype of our headgear from just newspaper!
And after interacting with him for awhile, I feel that he's really nice and patient when he's teaching a first time student like us! And we can see that he's really experienced as well! What I like most is that he allows you to really do your own design and doesn't restrict on what you want to do.
Like for my design right, it's obviously pretty tedious to make out the prototype from newspaper but he didn't stop me from designing what I want! Instead, he taught me some little tricks that I can do to the newspaper to make out the prototype of my design!
Me rolling the newspaper up into small tubes as taught by Martin John Bonney,
so that it's stronger and can hold the shape of what I designed for my headgear!
Which afterward, I abit regretted designing something so complex cause it's so hard to make out!! And I think without Martin John Bonney right, I doubt I can make it out by just using newspaper lor!
Not even halfway done yet hahahaha!!! :x
Another picture of me while I'm doing my prototype! :D
.
.
.
And after some time + with the help of Martin John Bonney, the prototype is done!!!!
Tadahhhhhhhh!!!! Nice or what!!!! So proud of myself!!! :')
The whole prototype is purely just made out with newspaper and tapes!
Nah!! Show you the comparison of my prototype with my design on sketch!
Pretty similar right???!! Woooohoooo~~!
And now we are done with the prototype, it's time to spray paint it!!!!
We are spraying it into silver colour!!!
Almost there!!!!
Final touch and we are done!!! Yay!!!!
A group picture with Martin John Bonney with our final prototype design!!!
Time passes so quickly and I must say we had so much fun and laughter throughout the whole process!
Cause me and Peishi keep laughing at each other design, wait no. I never really laughed at hers, she's the one who keep laughing at my design lor! Hahaha! But neverthless, we also get to learn and experience some tricks and stuff that we usually don't get to do, and the knowledge about fashion that we learnt from Martin John Bonney for this short session is pretty enriching as well! It was really fun, never regretted coming!!
And as I was leaving the campus, saw this quote which I think is pretty true for designer as well!
Aright, I know that's being really random and sidetrack alittle but I thought I just wanna share hahaha!! Okayokay, back to what I was saying is that.... you can also be like us and get to experience being a one-day fashion student and know how it is like to be one, over at their MDIS Open House!!!!
So if you're interested in fashion, you might want to head down to check them out! As they do offer various courses for fashion, like: "Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Fashion Design", "Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Fashion Marketing and Branding" and as well as, "Diploma in Fashion Design and Marketing"!
