Where will I be?

By the time i finish my Fashion degree i hope like any other student to of gained a first and be well on my way to working through internships, apprenticeships and freelance work to get to London. My main aim is to do what I can to get all the experience i can and learn from others skills that arent taught in my degree so i can work in the fashion capital of London. Through the first section of this course i have begun to realise that i do enjoy the pattern/print/textile aspect of fashion alot more than garment construction itself and so when i leave university i hope to begin to specialise more into print for fashion, making garments much more about the aesthetics of new technlogy and pattern rather than just looking at the silhouette. I feel like when ive worked through a project specialising the story i have looked at into print then the silhouette comes naturally through this and i hope to be able to work in this way. In 10 years time I hope to of definetely made it to working in London if not living there but i dont want my life to only be about fashion i want to dedicate my life to the work i produce but i dont want to give up a sense of freedom to do that; i love fashion and i love art and being creative but i dont want to fall to the pressure like Galliano/Mcqueen did, and im not saying that i will ever get to that level of creative genius because i dont think thats what i want anymore, i want to be respected in my own right for producing something that hasnt been seen before and is innovative and something that is a force in pushing fashion into a different direction for the future. I think if my life was only about fashion i wouldnt be able to produce anything of worth, I am most inspired by the things around me, by other cultures and outlets into the arts and the people i choose to have in my life. I think the balance i want is unrealistic but in a sense of dreaming and hoping i hope my life works towards this point; however i know i need to really push myself more and more until i feel like im achieving something.
