just got back from an fba event with ken fleishman and it was ah-mahhhh-zing. ken was a buyer at saks for the longest time and now heads the sales team at dkny. listening to him talk about his experiences and just about the industry in general was really exciting - meeting the likes of christian lacriox and diane von furstenberg, deciding what goes on the shelves in stores, travelling the world for fashion week, predicting trends.. wait, they pay you to do that? it probably sounds more glamorous than it actually is, but no doubt i'd rather be working my ass off doing something i actually enjoy and am passionate about.

i used to be one of those kids who never really had any real, concrete ambitions. if i ever appeared like i did, it was only because i succumbed to the archetypal mould fashioned by society and for a fleeting moment lived amidst the deception - singapore kills you that way. fortunately though, i think i'm actually starting to see the pieces come together now. slowly, but surely.
