Voice



Fashion never sleeps; is one probably the best quote I can come up with that describes my life. I eat, breath, live fashion; fashion is passion, passion makes life worth living.  As a Visual stylist I can’t think of myself, I’m not everyone in this world after all; I can’t say I make my own culture. I’m just a simple stylist trying to make a living while playing dress up with life size dolls. I have to see the world as an open book and a display window as an empty canvas. I start to think about other people’s lives, their music, and their culture and wonder what goes through their head when they walk up to a window. To me a true understanding of the world around you is one the key points to understand the fashion world. What people want, what people need, and how you’re going to portray the latest fashion is what’s going to drive a business to success. Everyone is different, that’s what makes fashion so exciting. You never know what kind of reaction you’re going to get. People either like it or don’t like it. Seeing people have different reactions to a certain piece has made this industry a bit comical, but what makes it even better is when anyone comes up to me with questions; “What should I wear with this?” “Is that color really in style these days?” “How do I wear this?” It makes me happy knowing I put a garment on a mannequin and then put it in the hands of the next fashionista. Once they walk out of the store they’ll take that piece and fit it to their personality. Styling a window display can only do so much at the end of the day but once a customer walk out those doors, the consumer themselves them become the fashion culture I live today.
