The other day I was in class (fashion design) and my teacher asked me: why do I like fashion and why did I choose to do a fashion design school?
I wasn't expecting her questions and I have to admit I had no idea how to answer... She kind of put my passion into question and it startled me all weekend.
As long as I can remember I've always loved it, in kindergarden I would watch fashion TV and "DIY" things I liked in shows (but always ended up frustrated because obviously my no sew, no seam, no nothing vest didn't look like what I wanted
) and just from then on always watching, reading fashion and making clothes.
I don't think you necessarily need a reason to. I read this thing (I can't recall where or who wrote it but...) about falling in love, that it's all about a "je ne sais quoi" you don't know why you are but you just are, and when you start pin pointing what that special unexplainable thing was, the magic starts to fade and you start seeing the flaws and realizing that the person wasn't this extraordinary person that came from heaven. I think that's what I feel about fashion, there's this magical thing that captivates me and that captivated me since I was very young, but I'm incapable of explaining what. And I'm not sure I want to know. I just want to continue drawing, admiring shows, editorials, designers, making clothes, styling shoots, reading and writing about it all.
