After 87 days

After 87 days of being a fashion student,

I have a clearer view and a 'deeper' idea of how the fashion world is behind the runway.


Fashion involves a lot of knowledge about not just drawing, clothes, textiles but everything in life. It might involve nature, science and etc. depending on what YOU like. Fashion is about translating what you like into wearable pieces. Most successful designers out there, knew what they like, hold on to it, explore them and finally create their own style in their brands. Knowing what you like, would eventually lead that particular designer to creating a very personal and one-of-a-kind style of the designer.
Yeap, I like this.

LIKE, like a boss.















Concept, concept and concept. The core of everything (I assume). It's so important that, without it, the designs does not make any senses or meaning. But it is really hard to create designs that are according to the color, silhouette, customer chosen and yet still closely related  to the concept. Everything has to be chosen wisely, and everything has to relate to each other with the concept as the core
Connection/Relation is the key.


I found out what I really love doing more and what I am weak at during the whole course. I love to color and shade things which I feel that I'm good at. Drawing might be hard for me sometimes as I get out of proportion sometimes.... I'm very unfamiliar with brands and designers, which I'm already clear of before I enrolled in DFD. However, I found out that I know more and would be more interested in local Malaysian fashion brands and designers compared to overseas. Yet, I know it's important to know the pioneers in the fashion industry, whether local or not, to know and learn.
And learn what you do not know.


I did grow after these 87 days of non-stop work and learning, haha. It's something really new and I have alot more to learn of. I've chosen this path, and I'll stick to it, till the end of it. Fighting!

Lets all hang on.

Hackett London - Essential British Kit

Image
Jeremy Hackett, Chairman and Co-Founder of Hackett Hackett was founded by Jeremy Hackett and Ashley Lloyd-Jennings on London’s Portobello Road in 1975 selling fine quality second-hand traditional British clothing and accessories. In 1983, they opened their first shop under the name “Hackett” at New Kings Road in Parson’s Green, London. As the supply of quality second-hand clothing is limited and unable to meet the market demand, Hackett started to manufacture garments by themselves. Hackett is very well-known as a British men’s wear brand from London and still stands for quintessential British style to this day.

What Do Designers Do ?

Image
Photo Source Photo Source Photo Source      When I was a kid, I had that idea in my mind that, fashion designers  create crazy outfits  showcased on the runway, that I wouldn't be able to move comfortably while doing daily activities if I wear them or I would most probably not wear them out on a daily basis. It made me think, 'Where and who are the people that design clothes that we wear daily?'. However, my perception of what do designers do change as I grow up. Fashion designers are the ones that create beautiful outfits not just for special occasions but also for daily wear, and being a fashion designer requires passion, a lot of hard work and sleepless nights.  They need to build a concept first, do research about it, brainstorm ideas, sketch, create pattern, source fabrics, try if everything works, then finally making their collection, showcase them on the runway, working on marketing their collection and it just goes on and on and on
