Bromley Fashion Week – How to design a T shirt
20-05-2013
The team from the Fashion Studio took centre stage in the Glades Shopping Centre in Bromley Town centre to demonstrate the design process of making a T shirt from start to finish.
Members of the public could see first hand each stage of producing a garment from creating the pattern to cutting the fabric to stitching the pieces together and by the end of the workshop even walked away with a custom made free T-Shirt! For any budding fashion designers this was a fantastic experience as it really demontrated exactly what goes in to producing a garment from initial concept to the finished piece. Over 50 T-shirts were made live and given away.
‘The launch of Bromley Fashion Week was extremely well attended! We were hosting a ‘How to Design a T-shirt’ workshop and we had the talented team there of Leyle, Beth, Gonul, Ewa, Kristen, Jenny Beth and Jenni Sutton explaining the Design Life Cycle. Without doubt the public loved seeing their garments being made in front of their very eyes using the industrial machines that we had brought over for the day. Credit to the team at Intu for such an innovative way to start the week long event.‘
