Premiere Vision

Our first full day at Premiere Vision was so eventful, not only did we sell 6 pieces of beautiful work but we got the chance to explore all the stands in Indigo. Tomorrow we can try and see all of Premier Vision and the trimmings and accessories exhbition.

 Getting the stand ready...

 

 

A very successful day for SPoTS Atelier, with lots of interest and sales too. White Stuff were looking for "something interesting" and selected work from Colette Dobson and chose three of Becky Hogg's delicate felt designs.

 

A childrenswear company from France found Joanne Frost's work charming due to its selective colour palette and pretty florals.  A great day with lots of positive feedback about the collection of samples on the stand. Looking forward to another day tomorrow...

Paris...

Phew!! We arrived after a long day of travelling, slightly longer for Senior Lecturer Colette, as she had to juggle two huge suitcases all the way to the Parc d'Exposition! 

We finally got the samples sorted and stashed at around 9.30pm and headed for the hotel for a hot shower and a cold drink.....

The stand looks great and we have tomorrow evening to explore Paris.  Hopefully, we will have some good news to report on the sales front...

Julia and Sarah - Day One.

The countdown has started.....

Paris tomorrow - and we'll let you know how we go on with daily posts (wi-fi allowing!) live from Indigo and Premier Vision - but here's a snippet of how frantic it was to prepare everything in time.  Relax, guys - the hard work is over....

 

Third year student Laura Elder putting the final touches to her work........

 

 

........as is fellow student, Sarah Taylor!

 

 

 

And finally, after entry on the database, Senior Lecturer Colette Dobson packs it all away in a bag borrowed from Mary Poppins!! 

 

Catch up with our adventures tomorrow and find out how the journey to Paris develops......the forecast is for heavy snow, so it could be an interesting trip!

 

 

 

Getting Ready for Paris

Our students are currently getting ready to exhibit at Premiere Vision in Paris!

SPOTS Atelier which is run by Senior Lecturer Colette Dobson will be taking a selection of student designs to sell at the trade fair in France.

Last year, students successfully sold to several companies, including Hong Kong based Eyefix who put together collections for Alexander McQueen, Stella MaCartney and Topshop. We will be posting more news about the trip soon.....
