Heather Anderson

Nottingham Trent University

I'm a second year fashion design student studying at Nottingham Trent University. I love the practical and technical side of fashion design and I'm interested in pursuing a career as a garment technologist. This academic year I studied abroad at FIT in New York, where I got to explore a range of new techniques and disciplines. Here I did an accessory design class which first introduced me to working with leather. I loved this experience and it encouraged me to explore working with leather for my second year final project. In this project I challenged the structural properties of leather, while expanding my knowledge of construction.
