Month of August Blog Post

This month with my mentor has been very beneficial for my understanding of different brands and their particular style. To achieve this knowledge on designer brands, my mentor and I went to South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. Kami (my mentor) took me into various designer stores and explained to me why different fabrics reacted the way they did on the mannequin. She had created an exercise where she would pick articles of clothing and ask me "what could improve this?" or "where did they go wrong here?". These types of questions helped me grow as a designer because it taught me a form of problem solving that will be apparent in my future designs.
