More at Leamington College

Today I was back at Leamington College. The Fashion and Textiles department was buzzing because some of the students were getting hair and make-up done for the photoshoot which promotes the end of year Fashion show.
After they went to Moreton Morrell to take the photos the rest of the students got their heads down to start or continue their clothes for the end of year.
I tried to talk to the students who were behind in their work to chivvy them along. This sometimes takes some doing. There's a lack of inventiveness which I think can be attributed to social media. These kids are too afraid to experiment. Do they think everything should be perfect the first time?

 Anyway, here are some pictures of the make-up and a glimpse of the dresses

Great, set up my laptop and start to write my presentation that needs to be in in 3 weeks or so. I'm trying to get this bit out of the way because I know I'll need time to perfect the powerpoint part of the presentation because this is not a strong point for me. My presentation is on Trend Prediction, looking at the history of it, how they go about doing it, how prediction has changed with the arrival of social media and then what Li Edelkoort will talk about in her presentation that I am going to on the 23rd. I need to come up with some sort of argument, so my presentation is different should anyone else decide to do something along the same lines. I'm not sure what this is yet, traditional vs modern trend prediction - is the traditional method still valid. I also caught up with my Cr...
