I’ve started doing research into fashion design. I’ve even begun teaching myself how to draw fashion figures – I’m actually quite good at it. I’m picking up the basic concepts of drawing a female body, which is a great start! I want to continue building on my drawing skills; eventually it’ll come naturally to me and I’d be able to draw whatever is in my head!
I’ve looked into fabrics, the different styles of dresses I’d like to design and just basic things that I can draw inspiration from. I’m starting to have an idea of what my clothing line could look like. I really like the idea of using a brocade fabric to create silhouettes that are quite modern and contemporary. I love the weight of brocade too. I’ve sewn with it before to make my best ever garment – I just really appreciate its ability to hold its shape. It’s nice. I like clean and structured garments so brocade could really work. I’m thinking about pairing it with netting to mess around with illusions. Anyway this is just the beginning, there’s still lots that I need to do but I’m hungry for this and equally as excited. Being stressed really does push me to want to work hard.
I’m meeting up with Telis’ friend Vish tonight. At least I’m able to hang out with my boyfriend’s friends without him without feeling weird about it. See we were meant to be. Everything just aligns with us. It’s effortless.
