Week 1 EOC: My Voice

My passion has always been fashion. For me it all began as a young girl watching my mother peruse her walk-in closet of clothes and shoes. I would try on her things and select from all the colors, textures, cuts and patterns. It was also around this time that I developed a talent for creating clothing. Starting with fashioning dresses for my dolls, I would eventually graduate to making my own outfits and costumes in high school. I've known for some time that the fashion industry was something that I was destined to do. I come from a long line of seamstresses for one, and it's the only thing I've ever really wanted to do. Even as a adult, I've had various jobs, but always moonlighted in the fashion realm. I truly love it all. From sketching to construction, fashion production to tailoring models, I've done it and enjoyed it all. This is my calling and I'm finally making the moves to do something about it.
