Posted by Zoe Fletcher on Tuesday, June 9, 2009,
I'm here in London all week for Graduate Fashion Week this week!! Lots of standing on the stand and letting people browse through my portfolio, the judges came round yesterday to judge me, Lauren and Alex D as we were nominated for the Innovation Award, sadly I didn't get through but Lauren is in the top three so I really hope she wins, her work is amazing!!

Posted by Zoe Fletcher on Saturday, June 6, 2009,
Yesterday was hand in day for all our work... and its all finished (i'm kind of sad!!)!! Portfolios have been sent down to London, Exhibition is all up and running (bar a slight technical fault with one of my DVD's) and all my work is neatly layed out in front of it!!. Its all done...I don't quite know what to do with myself.... although I do have Graduate Fashion Week to occupy my time next week, and a mass of business cards to fold before I head down... so not as free as I thought I was!!

Count down...

Posted by Zoe Fletcher on Thursday, June 4, 2009,
Only a matter of hours to go eeee!! Think most of my work is done now... and I am absolutely shattered so don't think i'm capable of functioning for much longer without more than three hours sleep!! I am really looking forward to putting up everything in my exhibition space and finally seeing the result!! Although I am very scared and paranoid that i've forgotten something very important, but after numerous checklists I cant find anything drastically important i've left out, so I hope its jus...

One day to go....

AAAARRRGGGHHH!! One day to go!!..I love the pressure of a deadline but the lack of sleep is making me talk nonsense and I think i'm starting to scare my housemates!! I was in uni early this morning, re-burning my DVD's using Toast software so they loop continuously on the televisions in my exhibition. I then went over to my exhibition space, I think yesterday I overdid it and by the end of the day I had looked at my space too much to give it any critical judgement. So today with (very tired b...

Exhibition time...

Posted by Zoe Fletcher on Tuesday, June 2, 2009,
MADNESS.... that sums up today, yesterday and probably the rest of the week!! I've been setting up the basics for my exhibition, televisions are not sounding so simple now we have to try and attach them to an inch thick piece of wood!! Alex and Alan (my tutors) have been great measuring up and screwing stuff into the walls for me... hopefully (touch wood - haha) its all going relatively smoothly at the moment and my aim is to have all three televisions up by the end of today!!... who says i'm...

ABOUT ME


Zoe Grace Fletcher Currently undertaking a PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University within the MIRIAD post-graduate department, I am beginning a practice based academic journey into British wool fibres and new technologies within knitwear design. Graduating with Distinction from a Masters in Fashion and the Environment at London College of Fashion, specialising in hand-knitting and the British Wool Industry, I have worked on a number of knitwear collections (personal and external companies), whilst freelancing and researching for a number of exciting projects. My work revolves around the idea of sustainable fashion from a knitted perspective and the different ways to achieve this incorporating the ideas of slow fashion into mainstream society. I love knitting. And wool. And double sided sticky tape.
