i know this is kinda random but ive often wondered if couturiers like lagerfeld and mcqueen etc design everything or they have a posse of designers designing their work but they provide the theme and direction cause there is s/s and a/w collections as well as haute couture collections etc, thats kinda alot of design work for one guy. also who sews them cause there really is alot to sew for clients all over the world, do they outsource, do old italian men in dusty workshops sew the leather and old ladys hand craft the embroidery. well, this series is, personally, super fascinating.
in episode 4, theres this lonely old lady by the name of Mme Pouzieux who is a farmer and lives in the countryside who does the trademark braiding for chanel, and whom i find really endearing. theres something resilient about her which makes me wanna get to know her. its awesome that a big name designer has to ask the help of a farmer to get her braids. its kinda like a fairytale where the girl spins gold from yarn.
schools been good for me. its been 10fold more fun than last semester which isnt saying much and i gotten close to a jap called tomoka, and a group of hongky friends to hang out with so lectures and tutes arnt as monotonous.
i took aus flora and fauna as my elective. its super boring. they're at the flora part now and i go through his lecture hearing him talk about the arid aussie weather and about prickly pears and cacti. you can go in the lecture room wide eyed and high like this (0.o) and everyone walks out (-.-) i cant wait for the animal part.
been thinking bout grandma lately but it fustrates me when i call because we cant have a conversation cause she cant hear me on the phone. a r g h.
