Fashionista
I finally realized I want to be a fashion designer.
I've got a lot of interests in my head, but out of everything the one that I'm determined to start on is learning how to sew. I got a book "How to Sew Your Own Wardrobe." I got some needles and thread and some practice fabric and I'm going to start trying my hand at some stitches. I may start practicing today.
There's a bit of a weird mood to go along with this because my dad apparently had some prophetic vision I will create a business because of this. I'm not sure how to feel about that. Some of the things he was saying are perfectly in line with what I think and feel. I can almost see the vision of me as a head of a fashion label.
Still, it feels like light-years away because I haven't even done a single stitch yet. So I have to start. I'll probably do it today.
If I think about it the signs have always been there. Least of all that my dad had this vision of me when I was barely 1 year old. It's like fate. ew. scary.
The concept of this fashion label's designs would be about being real. Really who you are. Letting your clothes speak volumes. Some lines would be feminine, some masculine, some a mix of both. I'd probably have to spend a good amount of time on creating the mixed ones because I'm OCD as hell, and I would want a perfect blend.
We always talk about how genderfluid/androgynous people need more options clothing-wise, Or at least I've seen it being a big topic. I've witnessed friends who are trying to express themselves as non-binary and having trouble with doing so.
I've seen people talk about being transmasculine but still wanting to wear a dress. Yet how do you just 'do' that without sacrificing your identity publicly? The great division that keeps people from expressing themselves... I want to erase it.
There are probably transfeminine people who still wish to wear some masc stuff once in a while too?
So the thing is... in my head... There ought to be designs of dresses that look bold and totally male. Patterns that accentuate masculinity on a dress or a skirt or a top.
Patterns that accentuate femininity on a pair of "male" cut pants or a t-shirt or a suit.
I want to create designs that could be worn by anyone regardless of their identity, and yet it still perfectly captures the essence of who we all are.
I want us all to be able to be real. (Of course, I'm still going to create things that aren't quite as conceptually abstract, but this is the "vision"...)
