College Again

Although it's been about 7 weeks into the semester I'm finally posting about class. Beside PE and business class I'm taking historical costume class. and we make everything on a half scale dress form.

of course everything has to be historical correct such as fabric (with exception) and closure. we get to pick our time line, what they are doing, what time it is, female or male.

I picked the later tang dynasty. and there isn't much information on this time period so we (as in my processor and me) took the time and matched it as close as possible to the time in other area around the world. I also watch period drama cause that was the closet I could get to information beside photos of modernized outfit.

don't have any cut or pattern process but here is the second mock up i did. The first one's top didn't fit well.

CSUS Japan Festival Fashion Show

I took part in the CSUS Japan Festival Fashion Show for the Japanese Club at Sacramento State University again this year with Hill Tribe Fusion April 13th. It was a great load of fun. We used the Elevator to go down to the stage area and it was just wonderful. The models from "The Circle of Model" group model for me again and they did wonderful. 

After the show there was a photoshoot that happen and photo will be posted on Instagram.

Class Room Talk

So today was a wonderful and fun day. I went in to my old teacher Ester's Marketing class at The Art Institute and just talked about my brand and myself, and how I market my items. She introduced me to her students and there were a few that stood out more than the others. Became part of a Fashion Event the Students and Ester are planing. Also going to take part in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Run again in the fashion area for the Auction so be sure to look at what's going to come up and be made for that event as well. Ok now here is just a quick recaps on what I said about marketing and how I market my own brand as well. 

Social Media - is your best friend or it can be your worst enemy. Social Media is wonderful cause everyone use it these days. Everyone is using the net and google searching everyday.

Word of Mouth - friends to customer, to pass by-er. once a topic comes up, other will start to search and ask more question about what the topic is.

Self Promoting - something I always do. If you want to get some were you promote yourself to get out there. Its a hard world in the fashion industry and there's lots of shark. But you have to stand your own grown.

Socializing - Talk to people. Connect with other is also another big one. When you talk to people you make acquaintance or even friends. Talk to everyone you can when your at any event. To the photographers, other designers, promoters, even the fashion show/event coordinator. They will have a connection to others and they will be able to help you get in to other events.

Those four are the main things I use for my own marketing and promoting myself as a designer.
