Giorno Dieci- Firenze Pursing with eager feet... where many paths and errands meet// The Hobbit . . . Today was the first day of class! While I was rudely awoken by a positively glacial shower, my first day of class began and ended AMAZINGLY. Last semester pretty much extinguished the fire and passion I had for pursuing Fashion Design, but my Fabric Styling professor is absolutely fantastic, and Iβm so happy I didnβt quit, even when I wanted to. Today we talked about moodboards and he has given us free reign to make a moodboard that describes our own aesthetic, and encourages us to use all 5 of the senses. Iβve already started gathering materials and sketching, so next week I hope to explore some more of the local fabric stores for swatches! Weβre also designing our own foulards and a swath of fabric. Everything is in centimeters so Iβm adjusting, and thereβs definitely no Joannβs here so Iβm really stoked to explore. After class I got coffee and went material shopping with some of my classmates (some of whom are from Hong Kong and Sweden!!!! So cool). Then I got dinner with my roommate and we booked tickets to go see the Venetian Carnivale on Saturday! Tomorrow is day two of classes and itβs my busiest so my post may be later than expected. #firenze #florence #fashiondesign #fashionstudent #sketching #sketches #florentine #italianfood #italy #alternativedesign #moodboards #traveller #travel (at Trattoria Palle d'Oro)
