Week 1 EOC My voice

Fashion is my number one passion. Since I was a little girl, I loved playing with my dolls and making clothes for them even without having any type of knowledge in sewing, I still did. I even created  things for my sister and cousins although it was never anything competitive, it was always something I did purely for fun and because I enjoyed it so much. One of my biggest inspiration and influence of all time was my family. Growing up with vain aunts can be inspiring and my aunts were without any doubt my number one source of inspiration growing up. Once I understood people needed to have jobs and all, it was so clear to me what I wanted to do with my life. I was never the most crazy about school but I was sure of one thing, and that was that no matter what I would tolerate high school for the only reason of going to college and being able to finally learn all about fashion and all those techniques that you need to succeed in the fashion business and not only that but to have that knowledge of the things that you like. I always thought all my life that I would be a designer, and only a designer. To be exact I wanted to be just like Carolina Herrera. God, I love her! Any way, once I started going to school it opened my eyes to a whole other world that I had just deleted from my mind. Fashion is not only about the clothe and you know what most people would imagine it to be, being in the fashion industry is so much more that people think it is. I can honestly say there is so many factors that you have to be able to understand to make it in the fashion world, not that I'v made it but from the research I've done and the work I've been able to do with styling, designing, advertising and working on runways I've learned its all a process of learning. To me it is very important to understand every aspect of fashion and what is all represents, how it all comes together in one. Not only because that is the way to make it fashion but because I learned that I love everything else, which means I love styling people, I love visual merchandising, I love the business part of it and that luxury you need to have, I love the sketching part and all the details in a mood board and all the process of getting a runway show together. It's all a great experience and it fills me so much. In this year that I've been in college I learned how much I love doing everything else so it would be impossible for me to only be a designer, I could never be just do one thing. This is why after graduating from my Fashion Design Bachelors I am planning to go to Europe and do my Masters Degree in Fashion Business. I hope to expand on my fashion knowledge as much as I can and what better place to do it that in Europe where all the most stylish fashion comes from. Learning is a never ending process and so I am beyond exited to continue this journey of loving fashion.
