Natalie Gibson, the head of prints of Central Saint Martins, is one of the lecturers of The Travelling Fashionistas. As an expert in the fashion field, she insists that preserving a culture that could be disappearing and dying out is essential in this fast-growing technological world. Designers need to strike a balance between technology and the traditional method by always keep drawing. Traditional way should not be forgotten while the amazing technology nowadays offers should also be embraced.
Designing is for personal development, it's not about copying. She prefers hands-on approach rather than relying too much on technology.Therefore, she encourages designers to keep a sketchbook in their pocket all the time. Its function is like a diary that allow designers to practice. Sometimes, it's easy to think too much while drawing. Then, draw with the hand that you don't normally use. Designing is also a process of turning the designer's personality into inspirations of their design. It is rather personal but that's the difference between each individual designer.
The Travelling Fashionistas are going to host various lectures in Hong Kong Design Institute during August.
