a bit of competition um will get anyone a bit fired up
[Music]
it's a bit of a push adding something extra into the curriculum and i think i like the drive that drive for competition [Music] focusing on materials that mx30 has and then kind of working with that instead of just going everywhere i was honestly interested in pushing myself [Music] being from australia and like sort of very inspired by sort of this mad maxi sort of australian thing i think i want to capture that [Music] so i am in it for the journey but you know in it to win it you know [Laughter] my name is maggie woods i'm the founder and creative director of victorian woods we're an australian fashion brand that focuses on very simple design and an underlying passion for sustainability so there could almost be off cuts of it as well yeah just structure on the body i think it's okay to start with a more conceptual way of thinking hopefully you know i could bring a little bit of a discussion around timelessness i've elected to really focus on using magnets and combining that with like clothing and just seeing sort of how they can change the form i think when i was like looking through the um mx30 it just looked smooth you know i'd be looking at maybe there's some really nice details of construction in other garments so whether you're looking like high performance or something like that some different types of kind of stitches could be really interesting to work with that's cool because i've to really like dove into those so i think it would be really interesting to see what happens i've been focusing on the idea of industrial materials but i've also explored the idea of movement through draping and yeah the movement of fabric
my concept for my designs kind of revolves around weaving and the idea that the body is alone it links back to the framework of a car you know when you make a car you have to build the metal frame first and then you create the sculpture around that what's happening with the typography of the numbers um so here i was really kind of inspired by the embossing on the mazda car so i kind of wanted to recreate that with certain numbers so i created a coordinates and i've weaved them together and i could really see that being reflected back onto the garment the sense of like layering the sense of like grittiness and yeah and connection to the to the earth that's sort of what i feel connects me to the car i think you're doing the right thing with your materiality and choices now it's really looking at other design um products and other design disciplines so really get in and have a look at how a tent's made take some of those ideas and then bring it back into apparel ultimately fashion is about how people want to feel you

[Eliza]
Hey, I’m Eliza.
[Gemma]
And I’m Gemma.
[Eliza]
And where both second-year textile design students.
[Gemma]
And today, we’re going to give you a guided tour of our beautiful RMIT Brunswick campus. Come on [laughing].
[Eliza]
Brunswick is home to our School of Fashion and Textiles as well as other design courses like industrial and graphic design. So, we are a pretty creative bunch of people.
[Gemma]
The quad often holds events like concerts, stalls and free student union lunches. So, we get to intermingle amongst students and really build a sense of community.
[Eliza]
Here we are at RMIT Connect, which is the place to go for current students looking for advice on timetabling or enrolment.
[Gemma]
The friendly staff can also help with any tech support in foreign global experiences and University exchange programs. Plus, a lot more.
[Music continues]
The library is my favourite place to study, because it’s nice and quiet and there’s lots of natural light.
[Eliza]
And there are loads of other places to study around campus, whether it be outside or in any of the other buildings.
[Music continues]
This is one of my favourite spots on campus. It’s the print room where textile designers get to spend most of their time.
[Gemma]
It’s where we get to see all our designs come to life.
[Music continues]
We’re now in RMIT’s flagship Fashion Hub, which is a world-class facility.
[Eliza]
This is the exhibition space where third and final fashion and design students get to show off their glorious creations.
[Music continues]
[Eliza]
And this is one of the specialist machine rooms in the Fashion Hub.
[Gemma]
This is one of our fabulous workshop and maker spaces. The multidisciplinary workshop allows for fashion and takes product, graphic and industrial design students to come together and think around.
[Eliza]
They’re equipped with laser cutters, 3-D printing technology, hand machinery and a lot more. So, let’s take a look.
[Music continues]
[Gemma]
Brunswick is only 6 kilometres out of the city. And the Uni itself is a stone’s throw away from busy Sydney Road. Coming from Sydney myself, I reckon it’s one of the best spots in town.
[Eliza]
There’s tons of places to grab a quick bite to eat in between classes. And loads of local designers and makers have also set up shop here too.
Thank you for joining us on this tour of the beautiful Brunswick campus. We hope this has inspired you to join our creative community.
[Gemma]
And if you have any questions, please feel free to contact our friendly staff at Study at RMIT. And if you ever see Eliza and I on campus, come and say hi to us.
[Music]
