First of all, I am very thrilled and proud to be a part of London College of Fashion and IISF course, everything I imagined came true and I am very delighted to study at University of Arts London. Moreover, I would like to say thank you to everyone who came into my life since I applied to college.
Overall, all my thoughts were positive from the start, I knew that I am capable to pass this course and with this mindset I studied all year long, this helped me to stay strong and work as hard as I can. To be honest, I haven’t expected that IISF course will be quite hard for me. One of the most challenging moments were the fashion design part and the Adobe sessions with Sing, but I figured it out and it worked. Design was quite difficult for me because I knew from the start that I would like to do Fashion Business and work that is not related to making things by hands. In addition to this, I was extremely happy and cheerful when we were divided into the groups that fit our interests, for me personally it was a business pathway. Personally, I enjoyed every session related to business, it was an absorbing process to do everything step by step and than see the result of a hard work. One of my biggest achievements was the capability to experiment and not be afraid that it will not be appreciated, because in London College of Fashion there are no limits to art and each work will be valuable in its own way. I loved to combine mathematics and art, thereby creating something special of my own. This discovery for me was my final business project, where I created my beauty brand “Opal”. Maybe someday in the future I will turn this business idea into reality and actually create my own cosmetics brand according to the final assessment. There are also some things that I want to improve above all others, it is the time management and the fashion illustrations, during the summertime I will practice those skills and work on myself.
To conclude, I can not imagine that this academic year has gone by so quickly. I’ve gained a lot of useful knowledge that will help me at the BSc (Hons) Fashion Management. As I said previously, it was a very great pleasure to be a part of London College of Fashion and I am very thankful for the opportunities that IISF course gave me.
