When you decide to launch a Fashion House without a penny to your name 😊.. first you assemble all the courage you have and even the courage you never knew you had .. then you leave your flat and move in with your boyfriend, then use the money to rent a room somewhere behind the Gare du Nord which doubles as both office and to stock your stuff ( mainly books, magazines and vintage clothes)You spend a year working on a first collection, deciding that you will just follow your instincts and do what you like: Street- and Sportswear as Fashion, elevated by taking it out of context, re-inventing, re-making, re-assembling.You start working as a freelance designer in Italy, with the money you finance a first show at a friend’s studio space and hope that people will turn up … When they do you have a moment of sheer panic , then you scramble together a linesheet with prices, clean up the studio as best you can and start answering the phone.

Fashion can be such a harsh profession to work in, and sometimes I need reminding why I’m actually doing this instead of sitting behind a desk in a bank somewhere ( my parent’s plans) or behind the counter in a bar on a beach somewhere sunny (my own).. but this morning coming across this photo I was thinking how one of the most wonderful aspects of this industry is the incredible people I get to meet, work with , exchange with.
I’ve always thought that men can wear anything.. with the right styling hehe 🦩🤗 #prettyinpink
Does it ever happen to you that you do something that you really like and that somehow falls completely flat ? 😆 I was so proud of this circle-zip neckline.. like the moon 🌙 in a starlit sky .. ( sorry getting carried away here hehe ) ..the simplicity of it, but at the same time surprising and just slightly strange .. but it just seemed to go over people’s heads , and we actually sold very little .. but looking at it now I still kinda like it , although I realise now that it might not have been so comfortable wearing that zip on your neck .. the embroidered splatters of gold paint weren’t bad 😊 and those people did like 😎
