PG Cert Creative Pattern Design
I originally started my Fashion degree in Belgium, called Fashion Design & Pattern Cutting over a period of 2 years. During this time, I learned designing clothes as much as making them (pattern cutting, sewing techniques, pattern grading, CAD) and quickly developed pattern cutting as my strength. Afterwards, I decided to challenge myself and came in London to learn English whilst finishing my degree. For the following two years, I completed my Fashion Design degree in UEL, where I have been taught to think on a more creative and conceptual aspect of fashion, still further developing my technical skills. As a result, with my theoretical background of pattern cutter, I developed my own aesthetic, which shows complex and intricate cuts. I feel that pattern cutting is an important part of the design process as much as putting pencil to paper. Simplicity and practicality are not my goals. I want to push boundaries and experiment through the sculptural nature of the cloth and my postgraduate course at LCF was the perfect opportunity for me to accomplish that. Furthermore, apart from my pattern cutting skills and creative background, I am always looking for improvement, learning by any means possible the trade and more specifically, what makes me thrive.
