During our visit to South Kensington, we had to pick one of the three museums our teacher told us a visit. The options were the V&A museum, the Nature Museum, and finally the science museum.
Science museum:
I decided to go to the Science Museum because I’ve always been interested in science. As a kid, I always used to ask my mom questions about her work. She’s a plastic surgeon and she used to tell me about her day, what did she do, how are the patients doing. Unfortunately, the museum wasn’t directed in this type of science. But it was still really interesting.
Another reason why I decided to go to the Science Museum is that I’ve visited the science museum in Paris as a kid and I loved it it was really fun there were a lot of activities and experiments.
In the addition to this, there’s a lot of inspiration in a fashion that can come from science in general. Such as spatial influences, industrial influences, and more.
The Science Museum was really interesting I have seen lots of different aspects of science I think I will focus more on the automobile, air plains train, and finally the Vietnamese war.
The museum was a really nice experience I really liked it. It was a little bit confusing at first because there’s a lot of information but really nice. I know I have a lot of work material from the Science Museum.
Street style:
During our tour in South Kensington, we had to work on our street-style projects. We had to take a picture of people we found interesting. More precisely people we would like to design for, a potential customer.
I found really interesting people over there with a quite fancy and classy style which could be my potential customers. I asked a few questions them such as:
- Where are you from
- What do you do for living ?
- How would you describe your fashion style?
- What is your go to shop?
- Could you give me three words to describe your fashion sense?
- Could you give me three words to describe fashion in general?
Most of them were pleased by me asking them to take a picture of them. They answered most of my questions which were really nice from them. But not all of them gave me their contact details.
Overall I’ve discovered that it isn’t as easy as I thought to go up to people and ask them about themselves while we don’t know them. But I made it and I got a few pictures and answers.
Shop report:
We walked around South Kensington to be able to do our shop reports.
We went to Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Oxford Street, and more. It was really interesting and I really enjoyed this day out.
Regarding the shop report, it was really interesting and different from what I’ve seen before in London. There were a lot of designer brand designer shops a lot of work material was on display.
