How does a fashion designer get inspiration for his cloth collections? Several designed clothes are exhibited on fashion catwalk which new design. Some of those, people cannot put them on in daily life because they are very vivid color, conspicuous design ,and strange clothing. However, it plays a significant role in a fashion industry nowadays. Likely, Alexander McQueen, a British fashion designer, got the idea of comparing strength with fragility and adapted it for his collections.
According to "African Dream: Nigeria's Lisa Folawiyo" in the BBC news, Folawiyo L., the founder and creative director of Jewel by Lisa, has designed not only glamour clothes but also fully qualified clothes. She improved the fabric that originated from traditional Indonesian batik which are not bright enough, so "she decided to embellish them with beads, sequins and crystals, all sewn by hand, and the chic combination became an instant success." Now, she is a successful entrepreneur in the fashion industry that well know from Logos to Cape Town, London, Paris, New York and Hollywood, and she believe that "there is still room in the industry for new entrepreneurs."
I always appreciate many people that have creative thinking to develop useful things in order to become better ways. These new ideas has continually changed our world for a long time. Not only has fashion industry developed, but it also causes human life getting more convenient. Once, people had to contact via a PAPER letter, but now we can communicate via an Electronic Mail.

Kwang,
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that what Folawiyo's clothes are like. Sometimes, when I saw some fashion designers from Africa on TV, their usage of colors and fabrics were very unique and characteristic which gave me images of the wild African continent.I think her clothes well fit on Thai women because the clothes are deeply related with the weather and Thailand is one of the warm countries.
Please, Kwang, try the vivid clothes on If the clothes shop opens in Bangkok. They will look good on you.
One more thing, I would like to express my admiration of her will that dream's come true seriously. As an African woman, she must have had tough life, but she has succeed in the hot places known for fashion business.
Please, Kwang, have a wonderful life like her.
