The Next Phase

It's suddenly becoming so real, the thought of the next phase of my life coming in literally a few months time is exhilarating yet daunting at the same time. But before that happens, i have to produce my own collection within 4 months. I can't help but feel inadequately skilled but somewhat ready to face this. Part of me feels like I'm going to finally feel like a legitimate Fashion Designer walking down the runway at the end of it all and ready to face the next four months before i end off my diploma years with a shake of a hand while holding my cert, bidding the school and my mates a sweet adieu, grateful for the three years i spent there. Yet, part of me is dreading the countless sleepless nights ahead during the next four months, the bunches of hair i would pull out of my head trying to overcome a designer's block, all the sweat, blood and tears spent on trying to produce 5 perfect outfits that would not only fit well, or walk well but with perfect workmanship. I literally am biting my nails while thinking of the next gruelling 4 months. But! Despite all that, i comfort myself knowing that i would be entirely satisfied once the end comes.

I sincerely apologise to my- probably non-existant, readers, that I am so horribly inconsistent. Anyway, here is a really short update for whoever is reading; I currently am on internship as an assistant stylist, having fun, not exactly the best time of my life, but definitely gaining a lot of insight about the fashion world. Getting to know more amazing people, people like Evon (my boss), Alissa (my colleague), people like Michelle from HerWorld, Steve Thio, Vernon Sim, people doing hair and makeup, Models, etc. Honestly am very honoured to work with so many veterans and talents in this small industry. Learning as much as i can, but i still can't for the life of me understand how to pair prints with prints. I swear. I have no idea how people like Johnny Wujek does it, or even people closer to home, Linda Hao. No idea. But i'm still figuring it out, for now, it's more fashion research, more reading, more magazines, more runways to look at. I would try and post every weekend where i have set aside some time (yes, i have become a little bit more organized) to update this space. For now, here is a collection you would want to admire (or at least i know i did), Alice and Olivia Summer 2015 collection. Clean, feminine with a twinge of color, this collection is definitely not as special as haute couture but it has its quirks which i love within the commercialised line. Besides that, i have a soft spot for shoots over runways, i love how the designer can control the visual appeal and direction to which people start thinking towards when looking at a piece just by filling in the background and a range of specific poses for the model. I just made myself sound like i love dictatorship, but no! I think its an art, a skill that i want to develop. Anyway, enjoy!
