So today I attended a lecture conversation panel between Tim Gunn and The Sartorialist aka Scott Schuman. I was enlightened by many things they said.
Scott Schuman for instance spoke of authenticity and the love and respect fashion. He spoke of his blog and what he feels a good blog has. He feels that a good blog creates a conversation while talking about things you love. Since his blog is a fashion blog he discusses his views on fashion. The idea that it is more about what you can get from other peoples style rather than critiquing their style and marveling at the idea that someone could dream up such things.
Tim Gunn spoke about designing things that make the wearer feel the the way they should, i.e. making a warrior look an feel like a warrior, making a beautiful woman fell like a beautiful woman. That clothes don't need to change but that fashion by definition needs to change.
All of these comments got me to thinking about the idea that I design for myself, yes I design clothes for a certain group but everything I dream up came into being because I wanted to wear it. I design clothes for me and selling them to people is the next logical step.
So I know how I feel about my designs and myself but of course the best way to learn is through conversation....so converse with me you scant few who read my blog, if you prefer to be anonymous then go ahead I don't mind.
Join in you people that up until this point I was in denial about.
