The weekly glossies are the ones that grab my attention much more than the dull black and white newspapers. Today's glossy, was Stylist.
It's a great fashion magazine thats been keeping me updated on the latest trends in the fashion world as well as a nice overview of whats going on around the world. There are great pieces that are well written and worth reading. Today's copy was the A/W 12 Fashion edition. I'm not going to lie, normally I only do a quick scan and check out the pictures not really stopping focusing read any of the articles. But today I decided I might as well have a read and was pleasantly surprised and inspired.
One of the trends that has been predominant this season is Gothic. I've always liked velvets and lace, blood reds and deep purples. There's something strangely elegant about it all. When I think gothic I think roses and it inspired me to try my hand at designing evening dresses that I would love to one day create, since right now lace is easy to come by and in regular supply in all different styles and variations it the best time to take advantage of it all.
Luckily an interest in clothes it runs in my family. My grandmother is a seamstress and so is my mother so I've got majority of the tools and a little bit of the skills to create an outfit. It would take me alot of planning to get the cut and the shape just right but if I work hard I think I should be to tailor a dress.
So now I've found myself an interest and maybe even a hobby, hopefully I will stick to it and maybe even make something of it.
Lots of love
