It's crazy to think that we've already completed 7 months of our course, thats the whole 1st year finito soon. Mad stuff! Anyway, I've been really busy lately organizing interviews for my short profile and long profile assignments. I got in touch with the LA based designer, Kimberly Ovitz for my short inteview, but she managed to reply to my questions with the shortest possible answers ever. How am I supposed to write a profile piece about someone using one-word quotes?! So, that was her out of the picture. I emailed a few Irish designers, and the amazing Helen James replied with such enthusiasm that I knew straight away that she'd be perfect for my piece. Her answers were brilliant and interesting, so I cant wait to get started writing up the profile. Her amazing head pieces are stunning, as are her clothing designs.
For our bigger interview, the scarier one where we actually have to meet the subject, I emailed a million different bands at home and here. Thankfully, two replied ( Republic of Loose and CODES ) so I'm going to meet them over Easter. Nervous is not the word! They're two of my favourite bands, so I'm going to be absolutely shitting myself. I'm meeting RoL after the gig in Terenure College, celebrating its 100th year anniversary, and I'm meeting CODES after a gig in Navan. I've always loved Republic of Loose but CODES have become one of my new favourite bands recently. Move over, The XX – another new obsession is developing.
