After battling with rush hour at 8.00 this morning I arrived at French connections head office and was shown around by my mentor Leah. I was surprised at how big the building was, as there were departments for womenswear, menwear, kidswear, knitwear and denim, as well as marketing/promotion and production. French Connection are a week into designing their Spring/Summer 2011 collection so it was exciting to see all of their ideas.
I spent most of the day scanning in prints and manipulating them by hand and using photoshop to create new prints, one of which is confirmed to be used in the collection, which was quite exciting. I also organised specification sheets and colour charts for the collection, and scanned in information to be sent to their overseas factories. I wonder what tomorrow will bring ....
