Face



I have noticed that when people who design clothing draw models, they do not draw their faces. Question: does this make the clothing more important than the person that wear's it? Or does it make the people that present the clothing lower status than the people who buy the clothing? Either way, I don't agree. At least, I didn't until I started sketching my ideas.

When I began to have to get to my notebook before I lost my bright dot of inspiration I realized that its not that the designers don't care about the people inside, I mean, it IS still all about the clothes, but when you spend your days looking at what people wear, their face fades out of your focus. So these great designers are not leaving the people faceless to snub them or because they just don't care, they do this because this is what they see in people. Every article of clothing, every garment, is a tribute to that persons soul.

Clothing is not an art form, or a statement, or even a hobby. Clothing is a reflection of your beliefs, and your mind and what you're like inside. At least, that is what I have come to believe.

The point of this blog


The point of this blog is to convey my extreme love for fashion design to the world. My name is Kate. I design clothing. I make my designs. I show what I make, and here, on this blog, I would like to share what I do with anybody out in the world who may stumble across this blog.

I got the idea to make this blog from my mom's friends daughter... it was a little obscure but she told me about a 13 year old girl who had a n interest for fashion that the world was holding on to. She told me that with all my passion I should share it with a wider range of people than my sewing teacher, my tutor, my family, and any of my dedicated friends who may or may not care to listen to my rants.

Every day I will try and post either a small entry or a photo. Eventually I may have to do it weekly but for now this is entry one.
