(Photos taken by TR, Designs: me, Michele Leong)
These photos were taken over 2 years ago right after I graduated from college. My friend Michele and I had the bright idea of shooting all of our designs.We wanted to get out there and forge our way into the industry (oh boy.) Michele insisted that I model (still a tiny embarassed about the whole situation) and didn’t want any one else to do it. We had a clear point-of-view, you know (haha.ha.) I reluctantly said yes after I realized that no woman would want to wake up at 4am and model with puffy eyes and bad breath. Plus, no size 2 model could fit my size 4 samples.
Funny how things work out. Looking back those 2 years might not seem so long ago but the amount of experience that I had and my point-of-view seem so much.. different.. than where I am at now. And back than I actually used to sew. GASP! And I had this fresh but naive idea about fashion. That being said.. I don’t regret going from there to here. Where ever here is now.
And all those trials and experiences were worth it.
