Linen

flax plant

So i am using a lot of linen for my first collection. Linen fabrics are the best. they have a life of their own. Smooth when you iron them, and they crisp however they want when you wear them. They are a favourite for beach lovers and for the tropics as they breath well keeping you extremely cool, they release moisture quickly and do not retain heat and may i add feels sooooo good on the skin. (im getting so excited just talking about it, but i must honestly calm myself down because it is a process of development that takes time) Best of all its all natural, made of flax. 

Nowadays especially in Asia, many fashion brands are just all about the trend, producing cheap clothing's with synthetic material. But i can't do that, as much as i can't produce junk food if i was in the food industry.

"Lots of hard work involved in producing linen cloth from flax plant caused its high prices. Not everyone afforded it. In ancient Egypt there was a custom to wrap mummies with linen before laying them into tombs and sometimes linen even was used as currency" - via linen beauty

I have this thing about doing things properly, plus being a village kid, i love the though of nature on the skin. not polyester, rayon, acetate or whatever else made of 'plastic'. So stay tune :)

Its going to be a very easy going, fun, light and simple, breezy collection, and with a unique twist that can be identified to be of my creation :) I totally believe that a designers work has to reflect the designer, it has to come from the heart, not just the head. A healthy balance of both organs working along side, with the heart leading its way through. If i love it, i hope someone else would too! because in the end, you are not going to be able to please everyone, whoever you are, whatever you do. :)

Anyway gotta run. off to meet high school friends, been long !
