Fashion isn't just about the final masterpiece-it's about the craftmanship, the creativity, and the countless hours poured into every stitch and silhoutte. As a a fashion designer, no two days are the same, but one thing remains constant; the passion for bringing visionary designs to life.
Morning: Creativity in Motion
My day begins early, often with a large cup of matcha and reviewing my board filled with inspiration-trends, fabric swatches, and archival references that fuels my collection. Sketching is apart of my mourning routine, where ideas take their first before they are considered to be transformed to a garment.

Midday: The Art of Selection
Choosing the perfect fabric is an essential part of the process. Fashion demands not just beauty but quality-silks that drape effortlessly, wools that feel like a warm embrace, and embellishments that add just the right amount of opulence. Visiting fabric suppliers to ensure that each fabric tells my story and keeps every garment captivating.

Afternoon: From Concept to Creation
The work comes alive in the studio, where sketches evolve into tangible pieces. Fittings, draping, and intricate detailing are all part of the process, ensuring that each design fits flawlessly. There's a special kind of energy when everything comes alive-the sewing machines humming, mannequins draped work-in-progress, and everyone working tirelessly to bring the vision to life.

Evening: Fashion Meets Business
Fashion isn't just about design-it's also about strategy. Evenings are often spent planning content, preparing for the upcoming launch and doubling down on the budget. Whether it's curating a social media campaign, refining brand storytelling, or strategizing for placement, balancing creativity with business is key.
