FASHION ON STAYCATION

I got to spend the Memorial Day weekend in Waikiki for a little “staycation”.. something rarely done. And so I guess this is what fashion looks like when you’re on vacation on your home island?? Hah.. a little bit of this and that pulled together. I literary grabbed a bunch of stuff from my closet and threw it into a bag hoping it would all work out. No thought or pre-meditated fashion here! I suppose it did work in its own way.. a gypsy kind of way.

I have to admit: I forgot how beautiful Waikiki and it’s ocean is. All different shades of blue speckled with people on boards, yachts, and canoes. It’s kind of nice to be relaxing by the pool with live Hawaiian music playing. No wonder tourists buy into it so much!

It was such a nice little getaway. I’d hope to think it will happen more.

FASHION TRIALS


(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.
