To be modern is to tear the soul out of every thing.

        Yohji Yamamoto is one of the wisest and most talented people I've ever had the privilege of knowing without actually knowing. When I read his quotes and snippets from his autobiography (a book I hope to own soon - My Dear Bomb) I feel a certain kinship. There's something immensely compelling about a man who can unite people from vastly different demographic groups with ideas and thought.

        On that note, I've been inspired to begin blogging again - as a motivator. 

         I've had this post as a draft with nothing written for close to 4 months now. I made these pieces for my independent study project final at school. I loved the process and I loved the results.

         Since then, I took a trip to New York, as mentioned in a previous post. My time there was amazing, I made 3 new garments, which are far better than these, I met some of the most talented individuals I know and I realized that fashion was, in fact, the absolute and definite purpose of my life. Not because I think it's cool, or easy but because it let me say something. Say something worth expressing. Think thoughts worth sharing.

          I hope this blog will inspire me to continue doing that - in spite of the fact that work is piling up, college applications are looming, my portfolio needs attention and I can't say for certain when I'll have time to make things or even think of making things.

          I suppose I'll just have to make some...

Until then~
