The fashion world in my eyes

Fashion, to me, is a way of expressing yourself in a way which is challenging and isnt a direct way of saying how you feel. For me, I like the thought of making big garments that are costume styled and have an effect on the person looking at it that makes them look more than once because of its depth and unique qualities about it. i don't want to have to make a full line of clothing that is simple and you just glance at, I am more interested in spending my time making two or three whole garments that are complex but have a a couture feel to it. My main area of interest is steam punk fashion because I like the thought of taking 18th century clothing and giving it a Gothic feel and making it more modern but still with the 18th century style. Also, to me, fashion is a challenge in life which everyone is confronted with, from designing your own fashion collection, to deciding what to wear to go shopping in. Everyone has to think about fashion every day but I feel that I have to think more about it, being a fashion student. To me, fashion is a way to challenge my creative skills and pushing them more and more to hopefully be good enough to take what I know further to university and hopefully to get the job of my dreams: to hopefully design for theater and for T.V. There is a lot of mis conception with fashion about it being all about high street clothing. There is so much more to it than that.
