Realization of my Passion for Fashion...

Hello everyone,



Ok here is what I am going to do...blog my journey from this day until the day I graduate from Fashion School. Sounds easy! Not quite...here's the beginning of my story.



My name is Kira and on this day I realized that my desire was always fashion related! You see I entered a stage in my life where I was feeling lost and empty, like I had absolutely no goals, no dreams nothing to work towards. And well after careful thinking, praying, researching and going from one crazy thought to the next I stumbled upon a Fashion College website! As I scrolled down the page and read about all the courses and the procedures I would have to go through to attend said College I began feeling that old feeling of "I am not good enough!" As my thoughts were, "holy shit I can't sew, I can't draw worth shit! What am I going to do?" So I ended up closing down my website with the thought that I would sleep on it and see how I feel when I woke up. Well, I slept on it and when I awoke the desire was still there. As the day progressed memories of my childhood and years later began flooding my mind and the more these memories surfaced the more I realized that I was heading in the right direction. I desperately needed to talk with someone and although I did try with my fiance, he wasn't attuned to my new found idea. So what better person to talk to was my friend Cheryl, my neighbor and fellow lost soul (sometimes)! I called and asked if I could visit and with that she was more then obliging.



I go over to Cheryl's just totally desperate to share my new idea with her and to tell her about all my previous introductions to the world of fashion.



Firstly I argued that when I was a little girl maybe around 8 years old my mom bought me a cabbage patch kid doll and her name was Alex Lulu Bubbles Martin and I used to tear up my old clothes and proceed to make new clothes for her! Even though I really had no idea of what I was doing, all I do remember is that I had a vision in my mind of what I wanted to create and tried my best to make it.



Secondly I argued that when I was 10 I wrote a satirical play on the book "Huckleberry Fin" and got my fellow classmates to be my cast and in which case I made all their costumes out of potatoe sacks because they were free at the local supermarket!



Thirdly I would argue that when my children were very little (this is before I went to University) I used to be very crafty and make jewellary, sew regalia, belts and bead. But gave up on all this because I felt I didn't know what I was doing and instead opted to attend University full-time and come out with a couple degrees that were totally not fashion orianted. (Although my heart still into anything creative, stylish, fashionable.)



Anyways, my friend helped me realize all the conditioning I have had throughout my life and helped me see that maybe I am destined to have a career in the Fashion Industry. Thanks Cheryl!



And still I have no idea how I will get to this Fashion School? I just have faith and know that I will!



So from this moment on I will be blogging my journey starting this day and share everything that I have to go through. Firstly though I must complete the first stage which is doing all that is required to submit an application and registration. This includes me having to sew three garments (did I mention that I cannot sew), creating a collage of colored paper to represent scenery(cut and glue right?), creating a 3 dimensional piece (like a necklace), creating a collage of this seasons trends using magazine cutouts(this should be easy since I have every Vogue fromt the past 3 years), picking a season and designing 5 looks (did I mention I really can't draw?) hhhmmm can't remember what else. Intimidating yes! Unachievable NO! I believe in myself and will continually be blogging on here as well as posting pictures of my work!



So stay tuned and stay posted...



Mwah Mwah Dahlins!
