Thursday

Production skills is my only lesson on a Thursday at the fashion lab, and what most of us didn't expect to be paraded around the studio, was a dead rabbit. I know what your thinking, why the hell was a poor dead rabbit in the studio, don't worry it was all done with good intentions. Fashion students were given the opportunity to enter "fashion against fur" competition. Each student had to come up with a unique and eye catching poster that would put across the statement that using real fur is wrong, but it still happens everywhere in the industry. There was however a slight disagreement between first year students and second year, as some students thought it was the wrong environment to be taking pictures of the dead rabbit, as some people are more sensitive about the subject than others. To be honest, i think if a little warning was given then i don't think some students would of reacted the way they did (i mean come on who really wanted to see a dead rabbit at half 10 in the morning) but i have to admit, it has had a big effect on the class (in a good way) so maybe the campaign (if they win) will work.

Any of you who are more interested in the subject or just want to see more of the students work then just follow the links. http://jessica-butcher.blogspot.com http://emiilyliike.blogspot.com/
