The big idea
I knew once we got set the FMP task I wanted to do the theme
bridal as it is what I want to get into in the future however I
wasn’t sure what I wanted to create the FMP as I didn’t have a
clear idea.
My first idea was to collaborate with Marriot hotels I would be
collaborating with them as a wedding dress designer and
through me the bride could then have their venue with a
Marriot hotel and also a discounted price on the honeymoon if
they wanted to with an aboard Marriot hotel. I wasn’t in love
with this idea but I couldn’t think of anything to make my idea
any better.
The disadvantages of this Idea was that the bridal party
could be coming to me and they would already have their
wedding planned out and the Marriot idea would not mean
anything to them.
The Advantages were that by collaborating with them me
as an independent dress maker would give me major publicity
because of how big they are.
I took some time to think through my idea because I didn’t want
to create an FMP on an idea that I didn’t love so then I came
up with the idea of being a cheaper resort to designer
dresses however making current and older style dresses from
designer inspiration, I loved this idea as it is completely
focused on the bridal part and I wouldn’t have to try think up
good ideas for the Marriot hotel idea which in the first place I
didn’t love.
I am now focusing on buying and visual
merchandising as my 2 main ideas for my final major
project as I think those 2 areas I can show my
creativity and can show to the best of my ability the
best work I can produce.
Once changing my idea I feel a lot more confident
and excited about producing this work for my FMP.
