INTERNSHIP EUDON CHOI YR 2

The final week build up! On the final week build up I was put in charge of working with the Stylist as I had told my designer I was really interested in styling.  I laid out the accessories and shoes ready to try on a model. I spent 2 days just with the Stylist and the Main designer, Eudon Choi. I was interested as to how the stylist puts together the different garments. There were 4 rails of different garments to style. After a few hours I got the hang of it and got really into it.  Here are some of the models during castings trying on the garments we had styled from the previous day. How the styling and castings worked was... we used 1 model to try on load of garments to style on her to get the looks right before castings. I then worked with the stylists to arrange the looks into a running order. The order kind of worked out to be in terms of colour and print. We then used these images and number order to try the lo...

Lay planning a difficult skirt pattern and using chalk to trace round the pattern to cut as we couldn't pin this fabric as it would leave the holes. Working out which pieces need block fusing and lay planning them on fabric. I had to make a few trips to one of Eudon Choi's factories in Tottenham where I had to bring many garments and explain where they should place the button holes and whether the stitch was in contrast.  Eudon's birthday!!! We did have a few lunches out and lots of cake! Learning how to fray properly with 10 trousers and tops needed fraying for the show. Learning how to stitch buttons properly so they don't fall off :) The night before the show there will be a lot of buttons to stitch all night!

Sourcing zips to colour match to dress fabric. I went to William Gee to source these zips. Going over designer spec drawing by hand with black liner, including details such as fraying.  Lay planning a coat on stripe fabric to minimise waste. This was one of the hardest patterns I had to cut as I had to match the pattern to the central stripe and the fabric also had a hair direction so when flipping the patterns to cut a pair on the stripe I had to have this in mind. This was the stripe coat that I lay planned and cut out for the seamstress. I chose a lot of the button colours and styles for the garments with the designer. My internship named a garment after me. The Tompkins trench coat. It was a red trench. I helped with the patterns, detailing and styling for this.  Including having the hood fitted on me with Eudon Choi. This was the Tompkins trench coat.
