Fashion is an impeccable field for numerous reasons, my favorite however is the use of ones imagination. Fashion truly is art, which I have trouble explaining to several people, especially my parents. It is wearable art that comes from each designer's unique inspirations. I am currently studying to be a buyer in the fashion industry so the design aspect is very foreign to me. However foreign design is to me I still manage to gather inspirations on new ideas. Whether it be from magazines, movies, runway shows, music, even observing peoples outfits and trends helps inspire me. However most of my inspiration comes from watching runway shows. They are the most extreme form of wearable art as you can get with little to none limits which is what I like.
One of my all time favorite style icons is Audrey Hepburn. Her idea of simplicity mixed with bold statements is my motto of thinking everyday. Her love for little black dresses, oversized sunglasses, and ballet flats are a major part of my wardrobe. I also love her idea of full skirts, cinched waists, unique, special and striking silhouettes. She is a true fashion icon.
I really do not pride myself on being a good sketcher, so please look to the left with caution :). It took me a few days but here is the best of what I could come up with. I designed a dress because I am absolutely in love with dresses, I would wear them everyday if I could. I was inspired to do gold because I love warm, shimmery, golden bronzed tones and I added a well fitted top with a little bit of a design for a twist. I like to mix pieces that seem as though they would not go together; a long skirt with a fitted baby doll patterned top. It is almost vintage mixed with a hint of modern.

Ali! First of all, you did a great job sketching the dress. It looks beautiful and I would absolutley wear it. Looks very "red carpet" glamurous. Loving it!
You should value your sketches more! It is quite elegant and if that comes across in a simple drawing, you are doing something right! Work it out!
Your dress was amazing! I loved the color (partially because it's my favorite) and the detail on it was great! I could tell that you put some thought into your sketch and didnt just throw it together. Lookin good girl!
Your dress is so beautiful and you are a wonderful writter.I can tell you will go far because you have great ideas and you are quite the artist.

I agree with Lina and Shaughn - that a great sketch. I really think you have talent even on the design side and your attention to detail is quite obvious.
and parents often don't understand fashion or other non-traditional careers - but when you become the next valentino or marc jacobs - they will be very proud. so don't let that get in the way of you deciding what you want to do.
