Last night i was lucky enough to attend MMU's hosting of the Fashion Fringe Road Show starring Fashion Designer Mathew Williamson in conversation with the Sunday Times fashion writer Colin McDowell.
Not only was this a great experience for me, but it opened my eyes to the bigger picture of being a student and persuing a career after uni. Colin Mcdowell made a relaxed interview enviroment for Williamson and the rest of the lecture theatre, asking him questions about his early live in Manchester and the ambitions that he had since he was very young. They talked about how Williamson found Central St Martins at such a young age and how he got to where he is now from Graduating.
The thing that i took away from this lecture was that you need to have inspiration and knowlage for everything that you do to create and work is only going to be created if pu the time and heart into the beginning, Williamson said that he spends 60% of his day creating. whether thats picking up new design ideas or having meetings to discuss the change of colour in curtain lines. He also gave some interesting advice.
*Point of difference - have you got something to offer that the world hasnt seen.
*Single minded Development - only you can work out what you want for your work.
*Unique point of you - if you know you have the ability to get there then you will
