Introduction
An introduction to what I hope this blog will be.
I hope that this blog will connect with people who, like me, love clothing. I want to cover a large range of topics from philosophy and analyze why we wear what we wear. How to alter and make garments. I hope to cover pattern-drafting in some of these posts as well. Some of what I write may be repetitive in the zeitgeist of the fashion world. I will, though, try to offer a unique and thought-out perspective to each topic I cover.
Things you won’t find a lot of in this blog are “style tips” or ideas to persuade you to buy into fashion. I hope instead to offer an approach to finding yourself and your own style as an extension of those ideas. I will not tell you how to tie your tie or how you “should” cuff your jeans. I may at times give a suggestion or show ways to do these things, but I think overall as the reader I hope you can analyze and take what is useful to you. As I encourage you to be critical of what I say I hope that this will create a dialogue between readers and me the writer.
I have spent a long time analyzing clothing, fashion and I continue to do this daily. I try to educate myself and grow and so while I may write, I do not know everything and I may change my opinions. I do hope that what I write can be markers in time for who I am and what I was feeling that day or period in my life.
I am excited to see where this journey of writing goes.
Thank you to those who follow along and participate.
