Peer Review about Minji Kim

I have chosen to peer review the third blog post of MINJI KIM. Reading her review on her personal outcomes and development through “Fashion Illustration: View from the Catwalk”, it became apparent to Better lives topic she did a lot of research. And throughout the research, she can choose one brand called Tommy Hilfiger.

I am really excited about seeing how she approached the themes and brand in her own way. For example, she found the Tommy Hilfiger brand has features that correspond to the subject of Sustainable and Social Responsibility. And Tommy Hilfiger was moved to ease the burden of persons with disabilities and present the design. Also, she found the designer successfully created a collection of disability-friendly clothing for children in 2016 and is now back in line for clothing for adults. This looks like she is interested in her course and as she had taken what she had learned through the practice of Fashion illustration and Better Lives.
Even though, I really impressed by her final project. Because she focused on the two topics in Better lives when she was drawing illustrations “Sustainability” and “Social Responsibility”. That means she though a lot of ways to express her work as an illustration. Then, she has tried many things to draw with natural materials or recycled materials, and she has learned and studied more about disability. I think, using natural materials or recycled materials is so creative. There’s nothing to comment on negatively.
Her writing skill is also so good. And she looked like a try so much, since when she was painting, she received a lot of help from videos posted by Sue Drey.

I think overall, I really enjoyed reflecting and reading Minji’s positive development because of her own interpretation of the theme “Sustainability” and “Social Responsibility” and therefore how she related to that. If there’s a chance to see her final work I really want to see that. Anyway, Good job Minji!
