The Why behind the What

I have always been enamored by clothes. How did they get so beautiful? Where did the fabric come from? How was that garment made?

These were the questions that led me to Parsons School of Design in NYC. Once there, I found that it was not the finished product that I loved, but the process behind the design. The history of fashion; the personal stories of Charles Worth, the Duchess of Windsor, Salvador Dali. The personal struggles of fashion; Tommy Hilfiger’s failed business attempts. The pressures of the fashion world; evidenced recently by Alexander McQueen’s suicide, and Fashion’s tremendous success stories; Phillip Knight on the Forbes 400 list. These were the stories that spoke to me. These were the stories I wanted to share with the world, and who better to share that with than the minds of the future! Welcome to our world.
