Let the training begin .........

Aroha to London – question 1
New York Fashion Week - Michael Kors - Clutch

2011 is going to be an exciting year for us!
As mentioned in previous blogs Aroha has won the title of New Zealands top apprentice florist and now has the opportunity to represent NZ in London at the Worldskills competition in October.
I have been selected as the New Zealand Floristry skill expert and will be going too!!! SO EXCITING!!!
But before we can plan our shopping in between competitions we have some MAJOR work to do! Just as an Olympic athlete prepairs and trains so must we, it is such an honour to represent our Country and wear the silver fern.
For every month between now and October I am setting Aroha a Task / Question!

This is her first ......... I promise to post a picture of her design, feel free to add your ideas!


ITEM: Design a clutch for one of Michael Kors Models who will be modelling a gown at New York fashion week. The gown is mid thigh in length and mostly silver sequins.
You need to construct the frame for the clutch, show & perfect the technique you used to make the frame, sketch the clutch as a finished result. Diary date shown when and for how long you’ve worked on the project, all notes, all sketch’s leading up to the design, description and list of flowers & foliage's you intend to use on the completed design.

FINISH DATE: 8th January 2011

THE THINGS I’M LOOKING FOR: – attention to detail, construction method/ good technique, how well the design works with the theme, out of the box – WOW factor (not just pretty but imaginative)
I am here to help!! If you need to check anything along the way!

ADVICE TO YOU: – Research: clutches history of clutch’s, modern clutches / handbags, & Michael Kors, New York Fashion week, jewellery design etc

HAVE FUN!!
