help! argh!
so i am totally stuck on this project i have for fashion figure drawing. i have to choose a designer and then design 6 outfits that would work in their house. so i sort of have to blend my style a little bit with the designers. i cant choose a designer b/c i keep on looking for a designer who's work is like mine. but i cant seem to even decide what i like to design anymore. i had chosen victor and rolf b/c my teacher recommended i do that house b/c i have such a focus on construction and i do a good job with suits. victor and rolf did do a good collection with the tuxedo/suit being transformed and changed construction wise. but they use suck boring colors that dont match with me. i also love christian lacroix b/c his work is so colorful and combines many different colors and textiles like a painting. but the japanese designers like issey miyake and yamamoto just really interest me with their construction on clothing. i also kinda didnt want to use the suit on this project since my last project i did was business ware. i know my strengths are technical and construction, but id like to something thats a little more fun and feminine. if anyone has suggestions let me know. and i dont wanna do chanel b/c everyone does stinkin chanel. so many people are using like dolce and gabbana and people like that, i wanna be different. im too stubborn and nitpicky. i also have a fashion design project. the inspiration has to do something with nomad. i was thinking something asian possible. there are nomadic tribes in mongolia. but i also had some weird idea that my mom and new shoes gave me. my mom told me to design something with my new shoes in mind since im nutts about them. that got me to thinking. one thing thats a neccessity for nomads is shoes. what if i based my collection on shoes. i could research the shoes that nomadic people wear, then choose a pair i like. i could even use sneakers or the red pair of shoes i have here that look they are going to fall apart soon. i have to look into it more. tomorrow im going to use the computers in teh lab b/c they dont block some pictures.
on another note (as this entry gets longer and longer) thanksgiving is coming up. i am going to miss it this year alot. jess and some of the other people i hang out with are going to paris for thanksgiving so they wont be here. 2 of my roommates are going to sorrento and my other one has her bf here. i feel a little bit alone. this girl laura in my conversational italian class said she would love to do something. her and her roommate were going to go out to dinner, but i kinda wanted to cook something. make like homemade pasta or keash or greenbean cassarol (if they even have fried onions here). i also wanted to make my brownies. im going to make half as regular brownies but the other half will be covered in pb and then dark chocolate. not frosting, actual chocolate like a shell. i dunno, i might end up screwing it all up and then needing to go out to eat for dinner. with my cooking skills, its possible. oh well. i will be missing stuffing, greenbean cassarol and strawberries with redy whip (which is my delicacy).
oh, i forgot to mention, i went to milan, florence and pisa this past weekend. it was nice. i was so tired in milan due to the fact that jess and i decided to stay up all night partying and drinking after the european vma's. but i saw the duomo there, went on the roof and then saw the last supper by da vinci. i went to florence on the next day. saw the david again, bought 2 pairs of awesome boots, some gifts for people, and then saw the uffici gallery. i was so cold waiting to go into the uffici gallery. my toes hurt so much from being too cold and the wait was like 90min long. then we went to pisa and saw the "little tower that leans" as my dad puts it and the cathedral. it was nice, but that was all thats there. then we went back to rome. it was fun. in florence i had this american girl sitting behind me go "the pinnapples here are different from back home. ya know, at home theyre like..apples." jess and i were like what the fuucck. i know now y europeans think americans are stupid. oh well. this entry is too long. im sry. ciao.
