Yesterday I came home late because after work the designer took us to an exhibition of young designers, which was really interesting because they also designed, dyed and even made the fabrics of their degree collection.
The fabrics were amazing but the design's were a little bit boring.
After that little Vernissage near Bricklane,Julia and I decided to go for a coffee. So we just walked to the next tube station which is Moorgate, and on the way we found a Starbucks at the finsbury square. It was funny because near Bricklane nearly all Guys wear plimsolls and a handbag, and in this area everybody was wearing a suit and a biefcase.
We just walked like 10 min, and saw a complete different part of London. I love thoose places who are so eclectic.
The work is a great experience because on the one hand we can work really independent but on the other hand the designer is so exact that we need 3 days for a T-shirt. Everything has to be done really carefully and tidily.
No pins on the floor, No dust, No rubbish, No idiots....;D
But it's great fun, we really learn a lot and the designer is strict but nice.
All the people I met since I'm in London are so kind. It was so unbelievable for me that onthe first days here I was really skeptic about that gentleness, but now I find myself saying "Sorry", "Excuse me", "Pardon", "you're welcome"...all the time :)
I'm so lucky with my host-family, it's a pleasure to live with them.
It's a pity that I'm only there at the evening, because I'm in the city all day.
Today I finally finished the T-Shirt (started working on it at Wednesday!!) with thousands of flowers on it...now you know why cutting edge garmets are soooo expensive.
Unfortunately we have to work on weekends too, but we have free on Mondays and Tuesdays.
