FASHION INDUSTRY; DON'T WE ALL WANT TO BE PART OF IT? WHETHER IT IS BEING A MARKETER, STYLIST, MERCHANDISER, EVEN A DESIGNER; ANYTHING RELATED TO FASHION, A LOT OF US WANT TO JOIN IT...BUT WHY?... PERHAPS FOR THE MONEY, THE FAME, RECOGNITION, THE PARTYING?... OR BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT HUNGER FOR INDIVIDUALITY THAT WE WANT TO PROVE TO THE REST?
EITHER WAY, WHATEVER ANGLE THIS INDUSTRY IS VIEWED UPON, IT IS UGLY. OF COURSE THERE IS THE GLAMOUR, THE EXCLUSIVE PARTIES, THE BEAUTIFUL FABRICS AND PROPS; BUT HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE UGLY SIDE? SWEATSHOPS, USE OF ANIMAL FUR, UNDERPAID EMPLOYEES, UNHEALTHY MODELS, AND THE LIST GOES ON. THIS IS A TOUCHY SUBJECT THAT MANY WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM, ESPECIALLY IF TRYING TO BE IN THE INDUSTRY, WE ARE A NATION IN WHICH WE TRY TO NUMB OURSELVES FROM REALITY; BUT NOT HERE.
ALTHOUGH I WILL NOT GO IN DEPTH WITH THIS GLOBAL ISSUE, AND I SAY GLOBAL BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD; I JUST WANT TO POINT SOMETHING OUT, SOMETHING THAT IS RELEVANT TO ME AND SOMETHING I GO BY IN PUSHING MYSELF TO MAKE MY LIFE THE WAY I WANT IT: DO YOUR JOB FOR THE LOVE YOU HOLD FOR IT, NOT FOR THE FAME; FAME WILL CREEP UP ON YOU THE SAME WAY IT WILL CREEP OUT... IF YOU HAVE LOVE IN DESIGNING AND SEWING, DO IT AND THROW IT OUT AT THE WORLD TO SHOWCASE YOUR INDIVIDUALITY AND ORIGINALITY, GRATIFICATION WILL ARRIVE AT ITS GIVEN TIME.
