My daughter: A look at the past
Seeing with the mind’s eye gowns of the most beautiful fabric – and doodling and spinning outrageous stories – were my favorite pastimes when I was a young girl.
I would draw upon pages – reams – of paper, that I was sure I would be a fashion designer when I grew up. But logic kicked in – and panic – so I took up broadcasting and law instead (uhm).
And so my drawing – and fashion – fell at the wayside and I did not take it a notch higher, nor did I apply it to how I actually dressed (I do not think I had the choice). So yes, I was not really a fashionista at that age (I have pictures!). I would dress with the clothes my mom has given me – and well, my practical mom did not have an eye for fashion (I have pictures!).
