On the 13th of January I started a 3 month course in fashion. Our task is to think hypothetically that we are working for the Lanvin brand in paris in order to do the winter Fashion 2012. Our goal is to make 20 collections to catch the essence of Lanvin. During the first month there will be group working. For group work we are working in pairs to put together presentation about the history of Lanvin.  At this point I’m really excited for this opportunity because it was given by one of Sri Lanka’s best designers. Mr. Dinesh Chandresena has helped me before to give feedback for my persona project and now he is teaching me how to become a designer and what the main aspects I should look into in order to design clothes. I’m really glad that I’m getting to work with a great designer and to be creative and show my interest in the fashion. However my aim is to experiment how well I could expand myself in fashion during the first 3 months and how well I can be creative and do something unusual to me. 

The feedback that I will be getting from this course s given by the Lanvin brand from Paris. After hearing this I was really happy because my designs will be shown to an international and of the most famous countries for fashion. I hope this will give me a new break through to explore about the idea in fashion.

Community and Service.

For week without wall 2012 the 11th grade is visiting Hambantota children schools to help make a difference. The grade is broken down to small groups to be responsible for different activities. I’m involved with the games group. Each group has 2 leaders and for this group I’m one of the leaders. My goal is come up with appropriate and different games for the children in Hambantota schools to play and have fun with us. Since the children are smaller than us as a group we are thinking of games which are simple and that has easy communication.
