FASHION

Currently I am preparing a BTEC National Diploma in Business in a training center called the Greta and which is situated in Carpentras. I’m doing my internship at DARTY which markets of the household electrical appliances and the multimedia in Avignon.

I wanted to talk about the world of sewing which is my passion

As long as I can remember, I always saw my mother sewing and sometimes, I helped her. My father also shared the same activity. When I was fourteen my brother gave me a piece of fabric. That’s how I decided to sew my first cropped trousers. A few years after, my dad wanted me to sit a national diploma in this sector, but I soon realized that I didn’t want to do it as a business. However, now it’s my passion.

The tools that I use to sew are: the tissue paper to make the patterns, a ruler, a measuring tape, a set square, scissors, needles, pins, a fast stripper, elastic. And of course the essential: fabric, sewing thread, beads, ribbons, tulle.

There are many seam houses, they each have fashion designers, more or less known. They present their collections, “Haute Couture” and “Ready-to-wear”, during Fashion week, which takes place twice a year for four weeks in four major cities around the world. Always in the same order : first in New York, then in London, Milan for the “Ready-to-wear” and to finish in Paris which presents the fashion show “Haute Couture” and “Ready-to-Wear” . The most famous Fashion House are : Chanel, Dior, Guerlain, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Marchesa.

The dresses I really like are the dresses Audrey Hepburn wore in a lot of movies. And there are some dresses from fashion designers I really like. Sometimes it's just

the photographer who plays with shadows and the lights and that sublime the dresses and the models.

There is one dress from Marchesa which has been inspired by the underwater kingdom, even if I have to admit the pic has a lot to do with it. I want to copy this dress one day.

In conclusion I would say that clothes are a form of language, which partly reveals who we are.
