I was thrown in at the deep end. I'd done a little visual training before- dressing a mannequin, changing an A-area. However I had never rematched a whole concept, so doing this by myself was quite daunting. I studied the papers which told you what has to be where, what the colours for this season were, and started to collect the main garments and put them into outfit groups. It was a process, much like the design process. So once I got into it, it didn't seem to bad. It was actually thereputic, as it gave me a chance to organise the department and put the garments into size order, making it look professional and wonderfully neat.
It wasn't the biggest department, and there wasn't too much space to work with, so it was quite frustrating having to cram in a lot of clothes. But for a first attempt I was proud of the outcome. Divided red was the concept I was re matching, and this contained a lot of the same patterns and/ or shape garments, so matching it was a nice process and a good starting point for more visual work. It was a good experience for me, and was valuable towards my course, as it is very much a design process, and matching garments together helps me with putting colours or patterns together within my fashion and textiles work.
