On The Fashion World

A lot of people have been asking me the same questions over and over again, so I might as well do an individual post to clarify things once again.

  • I’m Diana, currently 24, and I work as a market researcher and consultant. And no, I don’t wear quirky outfits to work otherwise my clients would run away...;p
  • I’m still that Diana, still 24, but I also work as a freelance graphic designer and (recently) as a fashion stylist. I take such jobs only when they are possible to be done after office-hours or on weekends.
  • To the extent that I find fashion and art irresistible, I also love ‘marketing’ very much. It’s funny that I am NOT a subscriber of any fashion (and or art-related) magazines. Trust me, I do not own even one copy of Vogue, Teen Vogue, Elle, Nylon and the like (hence my lack of knowledge on designer names or current fashion events :D). I actually am a regular reader of Business Week and Time as I enjoy analyzing current market trends and figuring out how the future of business will be like. The only source I get my fashion knowledge from would probably be, well, your blogs...:)
  • Given the above, fashion for me is very much a hobby that I enjoy freely without worrying on having to know the current trend or current ‘it’ designers. I buy and wear anything that I like, and I experiment with my clothes just for the sake of having fun...:)

hehe :) i love ur view on fashion girl! fashion shouldnt be your life but something like a hobby and you shoulndt go around following trends like a fashion victim, you should have ur individual style and have your own trends :) xxx

cavaan said...

i love time. i sometimes think i just read it so i can "sound smart", haha, but i actually do enjoy it. i can't believe you have a blog, i use to always look at your work on dA and think you had an amazing sense of style. it reminds me a really extroverted well dressed hyperactive kid. (that's just my take and i think you're amazingly talented too).

so yes. in awe.
haha :)

Hi Diana,
Very interesting comment.
I have a similar background to yours.
I am still a law student and I love fashion. I am mostly interested in eco fashion and vintage clothes.

jarang2 deh bisa ktemu someone like u yg bner2 ngeliad fashion tuh pure ekspresi diri aja.. bkn krn tuntutan skitar buad jd "trend member" hehe..
i agree with ya.. wear whatever i wanna wear, oh well.. it would be my new motto now.. haha..

keep it up, u rocks! ;)

di, you're a true inspiration. hebat bgt yh, kreatif tp jg smart. i would love to live a life like yours, haha. klo g boleh ambil design sama papa, i'm definitely taking fashion design. too bad it won't be happening, haha. tp yg bikin g yakin klo qta ga harus selamanya mentingin hobi itu adalah lo di. haha. akhirnya g ambil kedokteran loh, haha, sgt2 beda dr fashion design. tp g suka jg kedokteran. tp pas g blg g ambil kedokteran, g sampe diketawain ma tmn g, haha.

sama Die, me too, orang bilang gw kreatif n gk cocok jadi guru, mendingan kerja di majalah or apa.. hehe, tapi gw tipe orang yg hobby adalah hoby, i mean gw gk suka dipaksa r dituntut ngelakuin hoby gw.. hehe, aneh tp bener... gw lebih suka yg menantang, yg gw tahu gw mesti belajar untuk bisa.. hehehe... ^^

I love that you focus on both interests in your life and feel that I can relate to it too (though I'm still in my teens) as I love both the journalism world and the fashion world.

Your clothes are gorgeous every single time and you pull it off with an aplomb that is sometimes hard to find. It motivates me, which I hope you take as a compliment!

My friend and i also created our own "fashion & beauty" blog and we just started and so would it be OK if we traded links?
