BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology: Womenswear
Agnieszka Sochacka is part of the London based designer duo Sochacka Pothin. She met Blandine Pothin four years ago while studying on a foundation course at London College of Fashion. Agnieszka is graduating from BA Fashion at LCF while Blandine is graduating from the same course at Middlesex University, both in 2013. The designers have a focus on womenswear and childrenswear and aim to interrelate the two exploring similarities as well as differences. The ethos of the brand revolves around a juxtaposition of contrasts exploring the far ends of the spectrum of a given concept or idea: mixing soft and hard, texture and shape. The duo finds inspiration in conceptual ideas such as a mood, a feeling, which they translate into a story. The dark side of fairy tales The graduate collection is inspired by fairy tales and the innocence of children, mixing that purity with the darkness within and the complexity of both the tales and the child. It is a journey into a fantasy world as well as the exploration of maturing. The obvious, innocent and feminine notions that initially come with the phrase fairy tale, are in contrast with the dark, monstrous reality depicted deeper within the tales; chiffon and jersey in asymmetrical drapes and layers, with fitted sections or garments underneath, creating a balance of delicate and wild, superficially pure, and severely rough. http://www.mdx.ac.uk/aboutus/news-events/news/les-miserables.aspx Education 2010- London College of Fashion , University of the Arts London BA (Hons) Fashion Design Technology â Womenswear 2009 â 2010 London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London Foundation Diploma in Art and Design 2009 Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London Draping Womenswear, Short Course Work Experience June 2012 â September 2012 Gareth Pugh, London, UK Studio Assistant and dresser for Paris Fashion Week February 2012 Kokon To Zai, London, UK Dresser for London Fashion Week February 2012 Fyodor Golan, London, UK Studio Assistant and dresser for London Fashion Week September 2011 Kokon To Zai, London, UK Dresser for London Fashion Week September 2011 Hermione de Paula, London, UK Studio Assistant June 2011 Hope and Love London, UK Volunteer work at charity designer sale May 2011 â June 2011 Hermione de Paula, London, UK Studio Assistant February 2011 Hermione de Paula, London, UK Studio Assistant
