Fashion

My custom top + skirt is finally finished! 

- designed it myself with guidance from my tailor 
- visited 5-6 fabric stores and picked out this crushed silk and lace 
- put together an inspo board with the tailor 
- 3 fittings, the first 2 were muslin mockups and the last one for final measurements

I used to be into designer clothing, but this year I thought if I’m going to pay XYZ amount, I should get *exactly* what I want. 

I also wanted even slower fashion - designers are not always ethical either - so the process of having this made to fit me exactly was endearing and fun.

Yeah it sucks. This gave me better visibility into the process of making my clothes too so I felt better paying for it too!

I learned a LOT from @lenagrundhoefer < she started working luxury brands first 
It blows my mind what a scam it is and how much they rely unethical labor

I love this @samantha 💗 Give me 15~20 years and hopefully we’ll both have closets filled with bespoke items! I want to design my own bags, wallets, sunglasses too
