1. I would like to do 30 more hours with my mentor Paula M., the technical manager, at SwatFame. Here I would experience more of the real world of the fashion industry by learning what they do through a hands on experience and also learn how to talk to the people in this business. 

2. I will keep a log in which my mentor would sign of after the completion of my hours. 

3. This component will help me explore my topic by along to see first hand the ways in which the fashion industry effects society. I could also work with the advertisement manager to learn more on the "perfect image" I explained in my lesson 2 and uncover more answers by talking to different personals in the area. 

Blog 14: Independent Component 1

LITERAL 

I, Natalie Byrne, affirm that I completed my individual component which represents 30 hours of work. 

For my 30 hours I made a blue/green dress with see-through gaps with the help and instruction of my mother, Rossana Byrne. 

INTERPRETIVE 

I worked really hard to make a dress that fits my measurements exactly to my liking. I hand-sewed all of it the way my mom showed me too and used the measurements of skirts and tank tops that I already had. I went out and look for fabrics to my liking and guessed measurements for the gap. The hardest part was to get all measurements to compliment each other to make the dress look even. 

APPLIED 

My component helped me realize the hard work behind design and creation of a fashion piece. The difficulty of creating a dress to my perfect measure was hard just by measuring my body myself. Maybe it is because I'm an amateur but at the end of trying over and over again I had to use the sizes of the clothes I already have for cut measurements. I now have a better understanding and respect for the real fashion world.
