Your Tailoring Academy
Worked with our forthcoming 2019 summer collection today. As usual I have to remember to make some parts here and there, continuously, throughout the weeks and months to enable it to grow. Making it all in a “last minute” stress thingy won’t do, at all, simply because it’s way too much included into the project to be able to make it that way. We do try to plan as much as possible.
Timing your work can be extremely stressful. Do you add some extra time to make it perfect, do you just stop and accept the result, or do you distribute the time at hand for a more even process?
Mathematical projects can be so unemotional. You make a plan. You follow the rules. Success is then within reach. How hard can it be? Enter, feelings.
In summer season, when you go for strong silhouettes and good quality garments, you also want the colors to shine bright!
When planning your collection it’s important that your colors gives a strong message of coherence. The fabrics should not represent everything – they should tell your story!
New items in! Adding the Ice-Wash Denim Jacket and the Basic White T-shirt to the Thousand Days Of Hope And Glory project. I call them C2 and A5.
Both just made, this t-shirt has a relaxed fit, short sleeves an a rather old-school neckline. A kind-of anachronistic look, mixing 1980’s a bit naive clean-cut fresh look (neckline, fresh white, properly made and oversized) with a mid 2010’s deconstructed relaxed feel (narrow shoulders, small sleeves, drape over torso).
Deadlines! Having a slight fever. A bit tired. Lagging behind. Feeling a little blue… what to do?
Maybe if I add one of the other ingredients, the cake will bake much better? If I head over in one of the other categories I could possibly save myself some time due to the combination possibilities? Let’s try that!
