I did a few weeks at a bigger house before I realized that the prospect of helping with "special projects" and assisting on a technical and creative level meant figuring out the best way to lie on customs sheets. <br /><br />With that said, I began putting in time at much,much smaller companies, none with more than 2 employees. Quite honestly I was treasured at these places, fed daily, and given free clothes a plenty.<br /><br />I am not above doing busy work, getting food and coffee for people, steaming, etc. I understand the point of earning your place, working up the ladder.. I get it. However, in most places the amount of true experience you get in relation to this work is so incredibly off balance. <br /><br />The title of this post is exactly what my experience thus far has made me want to do. There is no one to learn from anymore.liberobelmondonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-74014771409343005972011-09-05T17:00:09.623-04:002011-09-05T17:00:09.623-04:00I never comment but I LOVED this!!

J'adored the photos too, my route isnt as pastoral but the enjoyment I get from my solitary runs is energizing in its own way.

Must everything be pulled from the grave and sent out again like zombies? I find it interesting that no one in fashion is acknowledging the worldwide economic collapse that is happening, an event which makes the fashion industry with its pursuit of constant growth, ever multiplying product lines, and new "luxury" markets horribly out of touch. Are there really enough willing customers to make even a good Halston revival significant?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-1413084699589300562011-09-04T23:48:52.145-04:002011-09-04T23:48:52.145-04:00You are transitioning into a new life of adventure...You are transitioning into a new life of adventure many do not have the wherewithal to attempt. <br />Many people are stuck in a parking lot of life and it takes some undoing to get out of that jam... you have bang up a few fenders to work yourself out of that space.<br /><br />Only when you want to fly, you're going to need a runway to take off from. <br />That's where I suspect you are now, revving your engines... for the new... let the past slide.<br /><br />There are many projects that can be tackled, I'm still sorting that out, myself. <br /><br />Curiously I've been jammed at work with new clients, who like my new kick ass approach to the fashion biz. I'm outta there... into my time at the beach and I'm not coming back until I'm ready.
