this is my last post for today, and it is the start of this thread. Sorry, there are no pictures as yet. and wont be until a few weeks. but i will post here daily, updating on my progress, setbacks, triald diappointments and whatever else there is.
it will be unedited , raw true, real, all the passion, pain,anguish, joy and whatever else there is.
here we go.
i left my consultancy job at 5:00 today, rushed to my fabric ssupplier in the garment district. He has some wool jersey i needed for some leggings i am shipping to a store in soho on oct 1st.
paid for the fabric
threw the roll on my shoulder,
and headed for the train
fashion is not glamorous. its gritty hard work.
being on the train i was just thinking about life, fashion etc,
then came the agony. of the reality that thee will (maybe) no zam barrett SS06 presentation this season. i soooooo badly wanted and still want to show this collection.
it dawned on me that i have become this coward, this calculated analytical idiot who now studies everything and no longer takes risk. i have become an old washed up has been!
there was a sense of rage in me. I know in my har that somewhere the fire still burns, that i have not lost my love. that i am still that damn good!!!!
i am still the the 23yr old arrogant kid who when to college partially homeless with ionly $20 to my name. I am still the kid who they said wouldnt last for two months but walked away at graduation with thier menswear award.
i an still the kid who came to New york as an Illegal immigrant and consitenly produced collections where others have failed.
I am going to finish this collection. I am going to show this collection.
my God its going to be gutsy, its going to be painful but somway somehow its going to be done. we are going to pull this one thru
keep posted as there is not a man alive who is going to stop me. somehow i have to prove to myself that i still got it
see you tommorow, I amgoing to sew until 2:00 am. i am trying to make two tops. my body aches with tiredness. but i gotta do what i gotta do
i gotta prove to myself that i still got it
i believe in my heart that the fire still burns.......................
see you tommorow.
God Bless

That is the kind of desire that makes a designer great or at least satisfied with trying if he/she does not attain all they feel they should. Thats right!!!! Take the risk my friend, take the risk!!!!

, never lose your courage because that's what will put you eventually on the map (that and a kick-a*s collection!)
