In conclusion my overall experience of has had its ups and its downs, I started off not having a straight idea of what my final project would be. In the beginning I thought it would be a good idea to design and make a garment piece and then promote it, with the theme of restriction. But when it came down to planning it  (what I’ll need and what I’ll have to do) I panicked because it was going to be far too expensive and I was doing something I’ve never actually done : Making high fashion bondage  clothing from scratch. Therefore I decided that I wasn’t going to carry on with the textiles aspect of the project, because I wasn’t going to study textiles I was going to study fashion communication and styling. So had to adapt my ideas to suite fashion communication, but still keeping to my theme of restriction. I wanted this project to be something I’ll enjoy and will be fun. I looked at different types of restrictions e.g. Age restriction, gender restriction, road restrictions. To get a broader idea of the different things I could use. I looked at gender restrictions and from there I created an online clothing brand called Not aloud.

Overall I was pleased with my PCS in terms of success the ideas I come with and how certain situations turned, like the photo-shoot: being the creative director, stylist and designer. I was really happy with the outcome.  In terms of improvements I could have made the promotional items to a professional standard, by getting them done professionally to give them that finished look e.g. business card, look book, t-shirts. However my PSC didn’t meet the intentions I set in my original statement( as stated above) because I realised it didn’t match my choice of course at University Fashion Communication and Styling.

In Conclusion the overall project was good, and I was happy with the decision and I changes I made during it, it came together well. Also it has taught me how to be organised and organise events eg fashion shoots, press party.  But one thing I cold of done better was communicate more with the tutors and getting their feedback on improvement. Apart from that I used Communication to communicate and collaborate with students, friends and other people in the creative industry asking them for favours or for their opinion. In addition to that I have learnt that communication and knowing the right people is key to success in fashion industry.
