Rest of Week

So Wednesday (4/1)was the first of many hectic days in studio. We are all sewing like crazy because we now have a midsummer night’s dream costume and a cocktail dress to make for the end of the program, which is less than three weeks away. Keep in mind that these were our only two projects for the semester and they were officially assigned only about a week ago. What were we supposed to be doing during the previous two months? No one seems to be sure. Also Nina and Ladya seem to think it’s helpful to scurry about studio yelling strings of “yes, yes, yes, yes!” and “oh no,no, no,no!” whilst providing us with plagiarized internet power points on fashion business (with of course nina’s spinning, flashing touches) to effectively waste our time. We also had a field trip to an art museum featuring paintings of 1700’s fashion for fashion history , which was cool. We saw some peacocks there.

Thursday (4/2) was a little less hectic, and more productive. I finished the vest part of my costume (it’s reversible!!) and started work on the dress. After studio I went for a walk through old town square which to my bewilderment was completely filled with shops, stands, food, games, decorations and people . Basically the Prague version of a state fair, minus the rides. Very crazy, very exciting, and steadily kickin’ until Easter Monday, whoo! It was also a sunny 60 degrees which had me in a fit of joy to begin with. Back at the institute we drew magazine figures in fashion illustration and then it was time for AMSTERDAM!
Too much excitement for one day.
