Trials of a fashion designer.

If you are thinking about going to fashion design school there are lots of things you should consider. My name is Lance I have a BFA in fashion design. I chose the path of self employed which is a blessing and a curse in a world birthing over 10,000 designers a year.

Though its taking a lot longer than I have expected The journey to Becoming a Famous Fashion Designer is no easy task. It will take a lot of determination and more than just creative imagination. A good thing to know is your textiles and how it functions in your mind.

That way it will save you some time trying to figure out what will work on the body. If you you want to work in the Industry however it may be a very rewarding career path for you. There are more than just "fashion designer" positions you will get from getting a Fashion Education. But Keep in mind that going to Fashion School like I did is NOT cheap.

A great Alternative to seeing if design school is right for you is investing into a course like this

This Course Click Here! will give you the blocks you need without the school loan fees, While saving you tons of money just to see if furthering your education is right for you in a traditional brick and mortar that will cost $78,000+ for your degree.

When I was going to school Most of the designers dropped out before they finished 2 years. Racking up Thousands in school loan fees. This is a Great Deal. Click Here! if I had found this course sooner I would have taken this first then decided if I wanted to pursue a career in fashion or a Freelance Designer.

As a Freelance Designer you do not need to have a fashion design degree, unless you plan to work for a company. then it is vital you pay your Dues, to Fashion School.
 

Perfekt Tension - 2014 Collection "Going Batty"

 After months of contemplation in the Perfekt Tension Laboratory i found source of inspiration from the depths of madness, 2014 Collection will be called "Going Batty" channeling the emotions of self into garments to keep the sanity of everyday life.

 If all goes well I will be showing in PDX and Boston August and September, will keep you posted. it has been many years of struggling to make this happen and almost lost myself into the abyss of a blank mind.

 There is nothing worse than waking up in the morning to feel uninspired, and there is no greater fear for a creator than a blank mind or everything halted in a stand still.

 Frozen, lifeless, then you find yourself in a quiet dead space. with nothing around you. when all turns to white walls you start to remember you are the creator. you are the one that makes things the way they are.

 Find a way to breathe life into these non active elements. Awakening into a dance of life like the Sufi who reaches the light of Allah, or the Priest who reaches the Holy Ghost, The Buddha who reaches Nirvana; all these may feel like the same bliss of experiencing creation.

 This Going Batty Line will take elements from expression, occultism, mythology, east and west fused to form the 5th race of fashion.

Perfekt Tension

These are critical times scavenging to the ends of the earth, lost in thought, searching for inspiration.

Where does the hidden fountain of creativity reside...
I am blinded by false impressions left by the dwellers absences.

Through the shearing blades fabrics scream aloud, like mysteries of the Ancients whispering from the grains scribed in stone walls.

The future has no presence without the past, and the past sees not the future...

With this knowledge in hand we decipher the present fashion...

in a world of, Perfekt Tension
