I've always loved creating and experimenting with different styles and trends. So, after graduating from fashion design school, I decided to move to New York to pursue my dream of becoming a fashion designer.
It was a tough road at first, but I was determined to make it happen. I worked as a design assistant at several well-known brands before finally deciding to launch my own label. It was a challenge, but I was excited to have the opportunity to showcase my vision of fashion to the world.
The creative process of designing a collection always starts with research, looking for inspiration everywhere from architecture to nature, to popular culture and travels. Once I have a clear idea of what I want to achieve, I start sketching and creating patterns. It's a long and detailed process, but I love every step of the way.
One of the most challenging things about being an independent designer in New York is getting the necessary funding to produce a collection. But after a lot of hard work and perseverance, I managed to secure the support of investors and sponsors.
Finally, the big day of my fashion show arrived. It was exciting and terrifying at the same time, but all the hard work paid off when I saw the models walking the runway in my designs. It was a huge victory for me and gave me the confidence to continue with my brand.
Now, after several years, my brand has grown and I've had the opportunity to dress celebrities and showcase my collections at well-known fashion shows. Although I still face challenges, I am grateful for every experience and lesson that has come with the journey. My passion for fashion remains as strong as ever and I am excited to see where it will take me in the future.
