Frustrated Artist...?


Perhaps in a frustrated attempt to motivate myself in making my dream come true -becoming a fashion artist, that is- I've decided to learn sewing and pattern-making. My sewing skills, well, it's bit basic really. I've surfed the web for crash courses on sewing and pattern-making. So far, I've stumbled on this site, Burda Style. They offer sewing tutorials with free patterns -some users offer purchase it now patterns.

Looking through its pages, I've taken a liking on the mentioned site. And I thought I'd give it a try. If I give it a go, then I've perfected my sewing and pattern-making skills, I won't have to buy clothes anymore. I'll just simply make them myself. (note to self: buy clothes if it's amazingly worthy, and gives you your 2cents).

Have to get the following things though:

* Sewing Machine -> major investment (will have to look for serger if there's any in the dept. store)
* Sewing stuff (have to dust them off from my closet, haven't used them for ages)

Well, that's it then. For my future entries, I will be posting inspirations and things that makes me motivated. I will post my D.I.Y. outfits (if and when I made one, that is).

A MUST SEE! Anna Wintour, September Issue!


A MUST SEE DOCUMENTARY FILM ON ANNA WINTOUR, The September Issue!

"Director R.J. Cutler delivers a rare insider account of the nine months leading up to the printing of the highly anticipated September issue of the magazine, which promises to be the biggest one ever. He takes us behind the scenes at fashion week, to Europe and back, on shoots and reshoots, and into closed-door staff meetings, bearing witness to an arduous and sometimes emotionally demanding process. At the eye of this annual fashion hurricane is the two-decade relationship between Wintour and Grace Coddington, incomparable creative director and genius stylist. They are perfectly matched for this age-old conflict between creator and curator."

So going to watch this, can't wait. If you watch the trailer carefully, I'd like to point out that in the 2-minute bit Anna's wearing a Lacoste polo shirt!

Vogue Nippon, July 2009










Model Freja Beha Erichsen rocking Givenchy thigh high boots in Vogue Nippon, July 2009 spread. It's the monochromatic element of the images that drawn me; raw material with great intensity, making the photo spread look simple and daringly sexy. Oh, and did I mention the sexy boots? Super chic booties, I like <3
