♥ fashion is fetch
Last night I watched Project Runway Season 3. I already knew who was winning but I rooted for Uli for I could relate to her the most. She's fresh and full of adventure. Really, she's underrated. Jeffrey was the gloomed and doomed rockstar but I loved his audacity and his outspokenness. Personality-wise, Michael was my favorite. I loved Laura's Coco Chanel feel but sometimes she can get boring.
I always wanted to design, as a kid I remember taking all the blankets in my room and wear it as a dress. Then I'd dress my sister too. I never did get the chance to learn to sew. During kindergarten days, I'd stay at my Lolo's house after school. After lunch I'd usually watch my cousin play Nintendo or watch Nay Juaning do her magic in the sewing machine until I dozed off. Then I'd wake up when she'd tell me it's time for snacks.
School didn't help either. La Salle used to be an exclusive all-boys school and its T.H.E. Classes were all about computers and mechanics and all boys stuff. They didn't teach us Cooking and Sewing and Handicrafts, they reckon it seems unimportant in this modern world. So I stuck with computers, got top in Math and Computer classes (Yeah, boring male stuff) and represented in competitions in Computers and Robotics. I was good with those stuff, but I 101% hated it. I was bored to tears. My left brain did all the work, and my right brain was idle. I knew in another world, I could have been the creative artiste I know I CAN be, but there seemed to be a conspiracy forming to sabotage my dreams.
But magazines and media kept on fueling my passion for Fashion. I'd flip on the pages, take note of every dress and top and think of a way to make it look better in my own taste. I'm obsessed with the fashion designers, models and icons. In my world, I could see myself take over Coco Chanel's throne in the fashion world.
My biggest fashion icon has got to be Audrey Hepburn. Beautiful and elegant, her style was impeccable, not to mention, she was a role model and perfect example for the youth. She had the hugest, most wonderful eyes I've ever seen. Yes, every girl in the WORLD would love to look like Audrey Hepburn.
My most favorite models are Twiggy, Adrianna Lima, Leo's girlfriend Giselle, Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell and most of all, Gemma Ward. Yes, Gemma ward, the girl with the big forehead and huge eyes. She had a funny face but she's cute and she had that certain aura of freshness and naivety. I'm fond of black models, they always look so exotic and beautiful, in contrast to the white, really skinny anorexic models... They gross me out.
I would have been a renowned fashion designer if given the chance. I'd create baby doll dresses and gowns that Chanel would be proud of. I'd dress my models like Barbie dolls, all sweet and sexy at the same time. I'd design dresses that I myself would buy and wear.
Yes, I'm a big fan of Fashion, yet personally I believe fashion is purely subjective, its aesthetic varies from person to person. What may be good for me may not be good for everyone. When you realize that you see the designer's soul in a particular dress or garment, you would know the Fashion world isn't all plastic and fabricated after all.
