Colour Room

When I got invited to go to the Marks and Spencer "Colour Room" I wasn't quite expecting what it was. Instead of using the traditional Pantone bible, they have there very own collection of colour ways. And it's safe to say there's a lot..it's a whole room full of books, files and draws full of colour samples. I have never seen so many shades of green in my entire life, I'm talking hundreds. As you can expect I was in there a long time trying to pick out the right shade of khaki for a dress.  

Who knew that a small swatch like that could cost so much. 

Fashion Street!

As well as doing a few errands around the office, I have been given the task of putting together ideas for an innovative sportswear collection, for a cycling and running campaign. I have had to look into different types of fabrics, clothing, accessories as well safety and everything technology! 

Not only have I been doing online research, I have gone shopping in Oxford Street (with the expenses card) and we are also planning on traveling around London on the "Boris Bikes" as well as taking a trip to the Velodrome at the Olympic park.

Once I have put all the information and research I have collected into a presentation, I get the opportunity to present it to the senior designer of womenswear...scary stuff!!!
