Life is really stressful right now. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about my future..like studying fashion..because to be honest I don't really like it that much right now. It's horrible to say but it's the truth. I think the only class I like is Intro to the Fashion Industry & Fundamentals of Design/Colour (I actually like the assignments we do) I hate designing clothes, I hate sewing, I hate patternmaking, I hate drawing correctly proportioned figures, I hate learning about the different characteristics/benefits/properties of the millions of different yarns/wools/cottons/etcetcetc (!!!!) Well. The point is I will always love fashion, I just don't know if I'll be working in the industry. The main reasons being: I have no clue what I want to be. There's a very slim chance of having a high paying job. Most people in the industry are very superficial. & The reality isn't as glamourous as it seems.
In an attempt to keep everything I write in my blog as honest as possible, here's what I really want to do for the rest of my life: travel, shop, go to fashion shows, travel, get a loft and do art all day, visit galleries, sit in coffeeshops, shopping sprees in Paris, travel, go to penthouse cocktail parties, take evening strolls along the Left Bank, ski trips in Switzerland, get married to a hot blonde foreign boy.
how about going into arts management? i'm not too sure about the programs at ryerson, but it sounds like you're not into "hands-on" fashion?
ReplyDeletegood luck with your studies!
That's funny how people seems to just discover that life isn't that easy. You'll never have your dream life by yourself because it implies you should not work. As you say the only way you can have that is either win the lottery or marry some billionaire. So you should probably stop dreaming or start searching the prince charming.
