Elsie
I’m Elsie or Els…. I’m a Pisces -just so you know
what to expect from this blog. I once
saw a bookmark which goes like this :
It’s so true…
Anyway I've started
this blogs with Wendy to share our experiences, laughter and tears as we
venture into the unknown world of fashion and accessories designs. Strangely enough sometime we get inspired by the everyday mundane stuff which we so often neglect.
A bit more on me…
I’m by no means a fashion designer.
In fact I’m a computer programmer by trade… ( not the geeky type ) Sometimes I wonder how I manage to survive in
a career that’s 90% male / geek… I guess
being a girl sometimes helps as they still tend to expect less from a gal when
they first met you !! ( nothing wrong
with people being sexist when it’s working in your favour is there ? ) It hasn’t always worked in my favour tho… I remember
the time when I was over in India for work ( aka to teach someone how to do my
job so I would lose my job ) they didn’t believe what I was teaching them but
if my male colleague said the same thing they would treat it like the bible. I thought to myself back then, you can only
lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink. Funny enough 18mths after that, I ended up
with my old job again.
About 18months ago I decided that I’m going to
learn how to sew. Something which I haven’t
really done since yr 7 in highschool. (Believe
me that was a very long time ago) I’ve
learnt from my very lovely teacher Olenna Luggassi. She taught me the art of sewing and more
importantly she really inspired me to be creative.
I've loved fashion with a twist as long as I remember. I love finding unique pieces from
markets. It’s the thought behind each
piece that fascinates me most. It’s such
a brave and bold move to make something that’s different and hoping that
someone would appreciate them. Since
starting to design and create t-shirt for our markets stalls, I’ve started to
really appreciate every single piece of clothing that I own J
So here I m now – dreaming, believing and creating…
