I feel airy because my head has nothing inside. Much like this rabbit, waiting for its head to dry...

Ms Lu's Fashion Label: Yumumu




Recently, I came across my art teacher's website featuring her fashion design pieces and i took a peek inside. And it took my breath away.

The clothes were elegantly designed, with traits of asian culture in the fine details and plaids. Even the prints on the dresses contained hints of chinese art or japanese kimono designs. I especially love the dress titled Kimonostraps. Its simple, sleek contours in white ascentuates the wearer's figure. What make it more than just another dress is its unique folds on the shoulder straps and doesn't it come across as both girlish and feminine?

Another of my favourite pieces is the red and white dress called Korean Prataman. I love the quirky folds of the skirt and the multi pleated collar. Contrasting colours never fail to make my eyes light up.

After skimming through all those fabulous designs, i feel really inspired and brimming with a new found sense of direction: nothing is impossible. If my art teacher can start up her own fashion label based on her ingenuity and determination, then i definitely can't give up my dream of becoming an illustrator. As i was sitting in Borders reading up on graphic design and illustration, I realised that there are more than one paths which lead to the same goal. An illustrator doesnt neccessarily have to draw for books or work for animation companies, they can become a medical illustrator, natural history illustrator, fashion illustrator or simply cross over to graphic design. Isn't that exciting? there's endless possibilities to what I can become!
