I have had a love affair with fashion ever since
I can remember. Like any passionate relationship, it called for sacrifices.
Therefore, at 17 I decided to leave my fatherland St Lucia and move to London
to pursue my dreams.
I have to say, getting used to the English weather was not easy, but working for renowned Joseph certainly smothered the experience. I stayed in London for 10 years, but it was only when I moved to Holland when fashion and I started procreating, that is: making clothes. It does not come as surprise that it coincided with the birth of my daughter.
Let me just say I thought sewing at home would be easier than shopping out with my little girl… It was not. Before I gave up, I made a pair of trousers. They are not perfect but remind me of the beautiful time and also the fact that I am not the technical mind.
What about you? Do you have any fashion pieces that you made by yourself?
