being a up going fashion designer wasn't so easy =(
first, stress. imagine u having emotional torture to finish 120 drawings every week. and its only 1 of the subject out of 6. count the load.
second, time. rushing datelines and we only sleep 4 hours a day. weekend better stay at home to finish up ur assignment. no time for party.
third, money. at least 50k for the coarse. spend 100bucks every week for papers only. 1k for materials in 1 month. marker pens that cost me 300bucks. having a fashion show every 2 to 3 months. minor show cost bout 300 to 800bucks. major might cost 2 to 6k while final and competitions might cost us 10k. crazy. what u earn next time doesn't even cover.
forth, health. no sleep, no health. u'll see ppl absent in class everyday.
fifth, friendship. hard to find true friend in fashion class =( too competitive.
sixth, assignments rejected. imagine u work for whole night and ur assignments being rejected and u have to redo.
seventh, idea. looking for idea wasn't difficult. but, when ur idea clashes with other classmate, one of u have to settle. and it doesn't feel good.
eight, kuli. u work like a kuli. from picking up recycle stuff, walking under heavy sun at jalan tar, public transport with heavy bags.
ninth, diva. working with alot of divas. the dont care who u are. very insulting.
tenth, loaded brain. need to know alot architecture, histories, movie and stories, places, things u're interested and not interested, people, other designers, art and paintings, sculptures, stitching technique and etc. ure doing research every minute.
conclusion, fashion is big dream vs big nightmare.
at the beginning, i seek for satisfaction of the produce. for now, i seek for my own freedom and time.
im soo tied up. this is soo not glamorous. im not happy =((((((((((
