WHO AM I ? WRITTEN PIECE

Conditioning started early in my life, as far as I can remember most of it had to do with television.  I spent majority of my time in front of the television and as a child even started planning my life around it such as waking up early in the mornings watching cartoons, rushing home from school to watch even more cartoons. In the evening I would watch, “The Bold and The Beautiful” which was a dramatic soapie about fashion designers in America. As a child I was intrigued by the fashion and the lifestyle the designers led, this inspired me to become a fashion designer one day.

The outfit I made was inspired by the mourning of my sisters death. She died 5 years ago and since then absolutely everything in my life has change. I feel as though a black cloud has covered my joy and haven't felt the same since. Before her death I was a shy, overweight closeted boy who loved his big sister dearly, 

I decided to make the size of the garment extra large to represent that side of me, the I cut fabric into various  triangles , from far away it my seem as though its one piece but its cut up and unable to form one whole unit like me. 

The Tassels on the sleeves represent my future, the various lengths of the tassels represent the various facets, wisdom and knowledge I will obtain in the future tassels are black because I believe the mourning process never really stops. 

Story of my life as a child,

The Bold and the Beautiful
