Over the years many of our grads have gone into a variety of creative roles since leaving Bucks, including these two great recent stories from the last two months.<br />
<br />
Marcia La Madrid<br />
<br />
Marcia has recently been offered a job with Collection 18, a leading design studio based in New York, where she will work alongside a large team of creatives to develop and design accessories. Collection 18 work for many design companies, from Lulu Guiness to Urban outfitters and Nordstrom.<br />
Marcia said of her time at Bucks;<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Bucks
New University allowed me to really explore my discipline thanks to its
spacious studio, great facilities, and fantastic tutoring. I secured an
internship at SIBLING LONDON through one of my tutors before graduation. From
then on I worked as a freelancer for different clients such as </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Pitti</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Filati</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> and
Katie Jones. I have now gained a position as a cold weather accessories
designer at Collection 18 </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">New York. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bucks and my tutors have given me great
support, both during and after my course.” </span><br />

These have introduced students to new approaches to work, such as designer Aimee Betts <a href="http://www.aimeebetts.com/" target="_blank">http://www.aimeebetts.com/</a> who came and shared her approach to design, the way she works and some of the recent projects she has worked on.<br />

Another of our speakers was Katie Dominy founder of Arts Thread. Sharing her knowledge and background. Many of our students use artsthread throughout their time at university as a great platform for online portfolios accessible by industry. Take a look at some of them here. <a href="https://www.artsthread.com/school/bucksnewuniversity/" target="_blank">https://www.artsthread.com/school/bucksnewuniversity/</a>Zoe Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13223206394716966881noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654170842034872887.post-13401411307042384492017-01-29T13:32:00.001+00:002017-01-29T13:32:38.687+00:00 Tengri live industry project presentationsLast week 2nd and 3rd year knit students presented the outcomes of the live project set by luxury fashion brand Tengri.<br />

Tengri has a strong ethical stance around sustainability and this formed a core part of the brief. Working with natural yak fibres and yarns as well as other natural fibres. Students experimented with re-using yarns and natural dyeing as part of the process. Due to the natural colour palette, textures and structures formed a key part of the design process. In this instance the outcome was for luxury interiors.<br />

In 2016 Carlo won 'Who is on next?' at the show which has enabled him to develop his new collection, collaborate with manufacturers and have his first major catwalk show this week.<br />
Carlo is a graduate from the Royal College of Art and began his knitwear label in 2014. His designs are bold and irreverent, with combinations of machine and traditional techniques to create an eclectic collection.<br />
This new collection for AW17-18 takes inspiration from 'cool grannies' such as Iris Apfel and Disco Sally from studio 54.<br />

The first of these has been with Dulux. Our 2nd year print and surface design students have been working with the Dulux Colourfuture17 trends and developing wallpaper and other interior modules and materials inspired by the themes and colour palettes. A challenging first project for our 2nd years as they get to grips with more key technical processes associated with their disciplines.<br />

Its been a lot of change and a lot of new things to learn. Drawing and developing methods of recording what we see are essential, so much of the first year is about exploring new techniques including drawing. With a visit to Wembley stadium, a digital printing company and lots of studio workshops it has been a busy term so far.<br />

<br />
The trends come about as a result of lots of research by the Dulux colour team who get together earlier in the year to discuss human lifestyle trends and then figure how they relate to our built environments and with it, the colours that inhabit them.<br />
<br />

<br />
There is always a Colour of the Year and in 2017 Dulux predict that we'll all be going blue, using Denim Drift and it's associated pallet in our homes and places of work. We'll see how our students take to this and the 4 other trends when we introduce our live project later in the year.<br />

Frankie Horsfield a final year knit student worked with knitwear designer Carlo Volpi <a href="http://carlovolpi.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://carlovolpi.co.uk</a>, working on a concept garment which will be exhibited in Italy in conjunction with Italian Vogue.<br />
This was a very hands on role, knitting structured panels and working on garment construction.<br />

Over the summer 2 of our Surface Design Graduates have been helping out at London based material resource studio Material Lab. They've been drafted in to specifically assist with the launch of Colour Futures 17 - the amazing colour trend forecast that Dulux put together every year (and that our current students will be working with in a live project later in the year.)<br />

As well as planning the academic year ahead I've also been working on an exciting industry project over the summer. I am heading up the design and curation of the Material Lab hub at this years <a href="http://www.ukconstructionweek.com/surface-and-materials/whats-on/material-lab-hub">Surface and Materials Show</a> which will take place in NEC, Birmingham between 18-20th October.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The 125m2 space will be home to the staged seminar area, a live making space as well as an exhibition of some the leading surface materials around. Keep your eyes peeled for the fully revealed line-up in the coming weeks...</div>
