I just got back from the tents in Bryant Park. This was my first time to attend and since it is the last time the tents will be up in Bryant Park, I am so happy to have been. I went to the Lacoste show and Chris Han. Lacoste was amazing. It was in the main tent and it was huge. Julianne Moore, Kevin Connelly, one of the queer eye people, and some R&B girl was there. I had seats so I also got a really cute umbrella that were for all the attendees. The runway was covered in leaves and there was fantastic music on. All the garments were beautiful and very well made as well as the models. My favorite model in existence was modeling so my heart just about stopped when I saw her walk out. Gemma Ward is amazing! And georgeous. Daria Werbowy and Caroline Weissburg (spelling?) were also working the runway. Shows are only fifteen minutes long but they are so exciting! I feel so inspired and ready to go get myself in those tents as a designer now. When I was in Italy I saw a menswear fashion show which was also really fun.
Also, I finalized my resume and it finally looks ready to go out. I just started a new project for my portfolio which is witty and fun. It really emulates my personality and my humor without being tacky or boring.
The fittings are on Monday and I am all done with my samples so I am ready to fit and start making the garments out of the actual fabrics. Once the fittings are complete, I can begin to correct the patterns and then finalize the patterns. After I do that I can start cutting out the fabrics. I am working with many seams and layers as well as lace which will be interesting. I am thinking about where I want to go after school. Do I want to stay in NY or go to LA or Miami? How will I know where and when? What are the things that will influence my decision? Obviously I want to find a place that I will be happy with and also be able to make enough money to pay rent and eat food and feed my cats, but what else will make the decision for me? Will it be the people at the company, the location, or something else? I am ready to find out.

Hello Jessica! Greetings from the construction management department and from myself! I was checking out my own blogspot page and decided to take a look at others and as I've read through your blog, I find your achievements quite impressive. To your question of 'what you should do after you graduate from Pratt', I say stay in New York! LA and Miami sucks! j/k,lol. Besides the fact that I'm a native New Yorker, I think New York has tremendous resources at your disposal and you can still learn a lot from it after you finish Pratt. But that just me. :P Good luck on your future endeavors
