This year marks our 25th anniversary, since our class of 1999 graduated from Håndarbejdsseminariet / The College of Arts and craft in Odense, Denmark. See my previous post here.
Teachers and fellow students.
For me personally I was persuing my dream of becoming an independent designer, creating made-to-measure garments.
During those years, we went through the process from idea to finished product through different projects.
It was three exciting and challenging years filled with studies of
cultural lessons, studying various subjects, creative projects, pedagogy- and teaching theories, internships, study trips to Florence and London and yearly fashion shows. Good memories!
Previously I had been a teachers assistent at INDesign in Copenhagen and
I really liked that. So for me it was perfect combination of subjects. See previous post here.
After graduation, I persued my dream and opened my own shop, after a very short internship in London.
I loved those years in Overgade 38, where customers would come in and order something special. During that time, I also had quite a few apprentices, to pass on my knowledge.
Three years on, I moved my business home to Jernbanegade and later to Kongensgade. Until I finally closed down, before moving to Canada in 2015.
