Freelance designer Susie Petrou teaches fashion and textile students at Brighton. Her lecture brought awareness of the importance of visual research and development processes. The main points which stayed in my mind were the importance to be aware of the ever changing fashion world, to get involved with as much as possible, to engage with many ideas, concepts and skills! Petrou has taken a Ba in Fashion, and two Ma'a one in Textiles and a second in Fine Art Photography. I have realised the importance knowing why I am doing my Ba Textiles course and to work out what I want to achieve from it, where will it lead me and what skills will I need, in order to achieve this!
Even though Petrou started out as a freelance designer, her skills and development of knowledge of fashion, textiles and photography, over the past years has allowed her to design knit wear, be part of the Next design team, to work to WGSN as a trend prediction researcher, as well as being a freelance photographer for small fashion companies and exhibiting her own photography work in serveral different galleries. I have seen that so much can be acheived if you have the passion and the drive to achieve.
