The Launch of Sarakaray Fashion Line

I came across this article; the launch of Sarakaray Fashion line. This is a beautiful collection, and I applause her work. I dint attend the launch (unfortunately), but, from the pictures, this is how a collection should look like; Cohesive, and leaving you wanting more. These are the designers who will take this industry far.
Good job Sarakaray. :)

Still figuring it out, by Tavi Gevinson - my interpretation



I came across, a very interesting video post by the infamous fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson, and I think my whole perspective about her has completely changed. There’s a general tendency and feeling that fashonistas (generally people in the fashion industry) are a bunch of superficial shallow and snotty human beings. Well to some extent I think that is true (I am yet to know why), but lisening to Tavi, made me smile, and made me rethink a bit about my opinion of her.

Still figuring it out; - a talk given at a Tedx Teen seminar (TEDx an NGO devoted  to creating forums of sharing great ideas), was addressed mainly to teenage girls, but I think her talk is relevant to today’s woman. Exploring the idea of who and what a strong female character is today, I liked the way she laid her idea on the table.

A strong female character is not what you see in magazines or movies. The key to a strong female character is flaws. And the key to being one is being the proverbs 31 woman.

I don't want to spoil the the story, but will let you watch listen to the video, and we can pick each others brains on who we think this character is.

Guess whose back... :) me.. yay.. wow it has been a pretty long time since I was up in this space and i'd just like to point out that I have good enough reason for that. I was focusing on finishing up with uni, trying to tie up loose ends. So that's done, now just waiting for graduation. Totally looking forward to it. :). I was also involved in the organisation of my schools beauty pageant, which ate alot of my time. I was also doing an internship, which was a fabulous experience (and i will be sharing about that). The silence hasn't been in vain too. I have been trying to really get my head into figuring out what House of Valentcia is truly about and where it is going. I am still figuring that out, but so far, I have a pretty good rough idea, and I will be revealing this with time as well. Many of you have been asking me how my fashion is doing. Well, here's the drift. Its my baby that I want to nurture with care. I don't want to rush it into growth, and i want to develop a firm foundation for it. So right now the next few years is about developing and grooming her for her exceptional future. :). So in case you see/notice long periods of silence, just know good stuff is cooking in the kitchen ;). I have much to share so I woun't say much here. This is just my "I am back" post. :) Keep it HoV. Mad love.
This is a one of the pieces I worked on when I was away. (see I haven't entirely been dormant)
