PROJECT DESCRIPTION IT’S A WOMEN’S COLLECTION FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2017, DESTINED TO A MEDIUM-LOW MARKET, BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 28 YEARS. MY COLLECTION IS SUBORDINATED TO THE THEME “MERAKI”. MERAKI IS A GREEK WORD WHICH MEANS: TO DO SOMETHING WITH SOUL, CREATIVITY OR LOVE; WHEN YOU LEAVE A PIECE OF YOURSELF IN YOUR WORK. THE MESSAGE I TRY TO PASS THROUGH THE COLLECTION IS A DESIRE TO OVERCOME YOURSELF AND PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT. FOR THIS, I USED THE TECHNIQUE OF EMBROIDERY. THE EMBROIDERY PHRASES CONVEY MESSAGES OF SELF-CONFIDENCE AND SELF-HELP. THE FABRICS USED ARE POPELINE AND CREPE AND THE HABERDASHERY USED ARE INVISIBLE CLASP, ZIPERS AND HOOK AND LOOP VELCRO TAPE.

PROJECT CONCLUSION THIS COLLECTION WAS CARRIED OUT IN THE SCOPE THAT DEEPEN MY KNOWLEDGE IN THE AREA AND MAKE ME MORE SELF-TAUGHT. THE DIFFICULTIES WERE DIVERSE, SUCH AS THE CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIFFERENCE WITH TEACHERS AND AUXILIARIES, SEARCHING AND FINDING THE STORES WITH CERTAIN MATERIALS IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. I LEARNED MORE AND THE RESPONSIBLE TEACHER GIVE US FREEDOM TO DO AS WE KNEW. WE PASSED THROUGH VARIOUS PROCESSES, AS THE RESEARCH, SKETCH DESIGN, PATTERNS, CUTTING AND SEWING, PHOTOGRAPHS AND ALL THE PROJECT ORGANIZATION. IT WAS AN ENRICHING EXPERIENCE AT ALL LEVELS AND DESPITE MISHAPS, THE END RESULT IS POSITIVE.
