This past week was pretty insane and awesome. After my final exam at OCAD for the year, i got right down to work with the goal of producing thirty of my woolen hooded jackets for the following weekend. I had accepted the opportunity to share a booth with a friend and talented designer, Adrienne Butikofer - www.butikofer.com. I recognised that i needed a push, some motivation, to take my clothing design to a higher level. This was a perfect opportunity and i must say that things went excellently. I managed to meet my goal of thirty finished jackets by the night before the show - a great relief. Much more relieving was when people began expressing their great affection for them...through positive commentary as well as by buying them. A very validating feeling indeed.
Having not slept very much that week, i was on a combination high created by adrenaline, pride, fatigue and general excitement about the whole process and potential.
The people, customers and passers-by were really great. No jerks! Awesome! So thanks customers for your patronage...see you in the fall...
