One of my goals for the new year is to really tap back into the creative side of fashion and fashion design. The thing that initially drew me into fashion was the fact that it was a way to creatively express oneself.
I remember when I was growing up, every time we went to the grocery store I had to get a fashion magazine. I loved flipping through the pages and seeing the editorial photography, the creativity of the designs and styling, the creativity of the photo itself. I think after I started learning the technical aspects of Fashion Design and garment construction I strayed way from using my designs as a creative expression and more as a display of my technical skill (of course there is a way to do both).
This year I am determined to find that sweet spot between creative expression and display of skill. My social media profile has been changing and its feeling more and more “ME”.
This design I made for a recent “Me-Made Monday” turned out better than I expected and the response from my IG family was amazing. I used a fabric from my company “Ferrell Fabric” that really served as the main muse for the entire look. The fabric is a reversible sweater knit fabric with an abstract print.
Make sure you follow me on IG @nakiayoungel ;that’s where all the magic is happening.
