Mock interview

I just came home from a loooong day in uni. Although it was very long it felt very productive and I felt quite satisfied on the bus home to be honest.

The day started off with a so called "mock interview" which was an interview where we pretended it was for a fashion company that we would like to work for. I'm not going to lie, I was super nervous! Not only because we will be graded on it, but we found out beforehand that someone from Jigsaw would be there as an interviewer, which made the whole experience feel so much more like a real interview. But I think it went well. My tutor's words after: "Your interview went well. Probably better than I think you thought it did", haha. Once the interview got started I felt a bit more relaxed, and although my portfolio wasn't finished, I was happy with the work I had in there. I actually did get some nice feedback after, so who knows, maybe I got the job?

After school hours I stayed in the studio and kept working on my collection. Only two weeks to go before it all has to be finished! How surreal is that??

Now I need to slow down a bit and relax before I have to go to bed. Why not with some nice music? (And I even think I deserve a glass of wine today!)

Here's a track my friend André sent me:

Friday evening vibes

Relaxing with a late dinner and a glass of red. It is well needed after a day in the studio.

Sunday energy

As always, my weekends are filled with school work. But I'm not complaining, since I actually enjoy what I do. I started my day today with a nice run in the beautiful weather we are having here in London now, before having to go back inside to deal with the work waiting for me. I am a little bit behind on my portfolio and dissertation at the moment due to a slight change of plans last weekend when I was supposed to work on it...

Anyway... did manage to do some of my portfolio work yesterday. This project is about trend forecasting. I chose to do this entire project in Photoshop and Illustratior, as my earlier projects have been hand drawn and painted, just so that I can show some diversity in my work.

Here's a taste:
