Effective Fashion Communications - My teacher is Kerry Moore, who is this rad, get down to business-type woman who has been a hardcore journalist and writer for the past 30 years. She is straight to the point, doesn't give homework and will individually go around and edit our work... or in her words "cut out the fat".
Design Awareness - We get to learn all about the production and fabrication of garments from the dream in the designers head to the finished product on the sale floor. Our teacher is a designer herself who has been very big in the Vancouver community with her special hand made to order knit sweaters. Shes a sweetheart.
Art and Technology - MY FAVORITE FFN CLASS!! The teacher is sweet and basically... we play around with PhotoShop on 27 inch Macs all day while listening to music. nuff said.
Costuming for TV and Film - We have a costuming veteran come and tell us all about what its like to work on a movie or tv set. We like to call it "show and tell" because she is constantly reminiscing and bragging about the good ol' days when she used to work with no name stars such as Angelina Jolie and Katharine Hepburn.
last but not least, my second favorite
Public Relations and Event Production - Our teacher is young and hip and totally cool. She works for a successful PR company out of Vancouver but they deal mostly in LA and New York! Its her PR firm that sends 3 students to NY fashion week twice a year! She is really funny and I think she is going to give a really good insight into the public relations side of fashion!
Needless to say, it has been a great first full week of school and I can't wait to update everyone on all the fun stuff I get to do on my way through fashion school. xx
