The work of a designer

I´m working as a fashiondesigner. It was something I knew that I wanted to do since I was seven years old and made my first garment (without a pattern, so it hardly qualifys as a piece of clothing...) Never the less, I spent years of drawing and sewing. Went to a lot of schools so that I finally could enter the world of fashion. At university we spent hours drawing our collection, making great fashion illustration. Then we spent even more hours by the sewingmachine.

Now I´ve worked more than a decade and unfortunally I have to say that my work has little to do with fashion illustrations and sewing. I think that´s why I´ve started to paint lately, because I seldom get to use "the hand" at work. Don´t misinterpret what I just wrote, I LOVE my work. It´s just quite far from where I started...

So it was with great pleasure I found these lovely shots at From me to you, showing how the designer of the Brooklyn based clothing line Edelweiss by Sarah work. It inspires me a lot to peek in to her world.

But as I said before, I love my work, even if I spend more time by the computer than at the drawing board. And tomorrow I get to go to New York, to get inspired for next coming collection, one of the many perks having this trade. So, I don´t know how much you´ll be hearing from me in a couple of days. Maybe I´ll be able to update you on my "Big Apple experience"...otherwise see you soon again.
