About my Fashion Design studies!

New post after a time...

I didn't want to write a post until I finished my assignment that I was working on with.. so I finished it yesterday and today I'm writing a new post about my fashion design studies! ^~^
I'm studying from Style Academy, and it's online. I hesitated at the start if I should study online or not, but now I'm really satisfied and I enjoy it! =) It's not the first time for me to study online though. The good thing is that you can study at any time wherever you are, even if you travel around, the only thing you have to do is to bring your laptop with you and your books (if there are any books or other materials). The bad thing is that you have to be responsible for everything and do everything on your own. You can ask the teacher for help of course, if needed. I'm doing well now.. it was just hard at the start when you have to get to know the new process and how you can do this and that.

Yeah, so my current studies from Style Academy are divided into courses, and to get to the final diploma I have to study five courses before the final course (the 6:th one). The courses I have to study are:
1- The basics of fashion
2- Drawing fashion
3- Coloring techniques
4- Types of fabrics
5- Fashion secrets
And then the final course...
6- Professional Diploma in Fashion Design

The last courses' name, "Professional Diploma in Fashion Design", sounds cool, right?!! xD hehe~ Anyway, those courses above are the ones I have to study if I want to become a fashion designer. But they do have courses to become a fashion stylist, makeup artist or hair stylist too. But for now I'm only focusing on being a fashion designer.

Right now I'm studying the course "The Basics of Fashion". It's about the things you have to know before you start drawing and so on. All courses has lectures, that you get in a DVD. My current course has five lectures. The teacher may also decide a sudden time for a live lecture online where she and the students can talk together and discuss at the same time. For every lecture there's small assignments you do just for your self without showing them to the teacher. Then there's a bigger assignment that you have to do and you have to send it to the teacher. After that there's an extra assignment that you can do and send to the teacher just if you want to be a more creative and ambitious student.

You have to do all these things before the exam time (but when it comes to the extra assignments, you can send them even after the exam). And when you've done the exam you're going to get a project that you have to do so you can get your diploma for the course. The diplomas' will be sent from Canada Global Center, so it's an international accreditation. And that's how every course works! Now I've only worked with lecture 1 and done the assignments for it. I have to watch lecture 2 as soon as possible! I think I'm going to watch it today.


This is my package that I got from Style Academy!! Inside, there was a file with all the assignments for the course and a DVD with all the lectures that you have to watch. And you also get a password for the electronic board, where you can ask questions, chat with other students and send your assignments. Lol as you may notice... the package didn't have any "bling bling", and my name wasn't written on it in that way, not even the "Style Academy" is written there xD Kekekeke I made it look like that with an app... I think it looks better this way~ =P

How and where you can design your own shoes... Talking about Shoes of Prey!

Hello girls! Do we have any shoe lovers here?? ;-) In this post and in the comming one, I'm going to talk about Shoes of Prey !  The company that makes your own shoe design! I don't know if you've heard about Shoes of Prey or not.. . But Shoes of Prey was founded by Michael Fox, Mike Knapp and Jodie Fox in Sydney in 2009.  I heard about them a few years ago. I belive it was in 2009 or 2010. At that time the youtuber Michelle Phan uploaded a video about how she designed her own shoes and showed us the finish product. And since that time, I saved their webbsite. I can't find Michelle Phans video anymore though. I really liked the idea of designing your own shoes, and not just that, they're handmade! I keept checking their site from time to time, and I realized how they improved and they keep adding new choices. Here's an introduction video to Shoes of Prey so you can understand a bit more of how it actually works! So that was a bit about Shoes ...

Which fashion designer is your favorite?

Hmm... Fashion designer's are...  my future "workmates"?? xD  (Lol I don't  mean working together, I'm refering to working in the same business industry ;p hehe). Okay let's get to the point! Is there any fashion designer that you love or see as an inspiration? For me... actually... even though I've always been interested in fashion, to be honest, I didn't know so much information about fashion designer's. Of course if I saw a random runway on TV I did like to watch it, and I still do! But I always thought about the designs, not the designer himself. So I haven't been "stalking" any fashion designer, if you get what I mean ;p  Anyway, for our extra assignment for lecture 1, we had to choose a fashion designer to write about him/her. So it was hard to choose as there's MANY fashion designer's out there. I started with reading short about 36 famous and historical fashion designer's, and then I chose 11 from them that ...

I'M FINALLY BACK!!!! ^^

Hellooooo guys!! I know it's been a really really long time... Let's say that I've been on a hiatus for a while. As you know I was  really busy with my course on my latest posts and I was also not feeling so well because of the nausea I had on the start of my pregnancy. I felt much better later in my pregnancy, but I was still busy with my studies and daily life~ Hehe... That's me while studying.. :p (I don't own the picture) Okay so my blog was supposed to be about my journey while studying fashion design, but I saw that I couldn't keep you updated at the same time as I was studying because there was no time. So do you want to know where in my journey I'm right now??  I actually finished my studies for becoming a fashion designer in the end of June!!  XD Yeay! Lol it maybe surprised you... But yes, I actually finished my studies but there was some changes that happened. If you've read my previous posts you know that I was supposed to study a...
