Bow & Blossoms. The Blog

OMG I’m getting married. So many things to do… But the most important thing -  to find  the dress, shoes, little bag. To choose how to wear hair and make-up. So excited! Still got enough of time, but just wanted to share my hapyness with you, my fashionistas. xoxo

I haven’t written here for a long time. Just needed a brake. A brake for my imagination. I had an amazing holiday so I am back with my fresh minds and strong creativity. I will be working on my jewellery again, so you will be able to discover a new stunning collection soon. It will be breathtaking…

For me, as a person, it is very hard to accept criticism. But that’s how you learn. And fashion is the industry where you get criticised a lot. Your works or appearance always being watched and you must feel relaxed under all this, otherwise you can go crazy. I know so many models who became scarily skinny because they could’t handle the pressure. People say, that if you work in the fashion industry, you just loose the sense of reality. You just basically live around the photoshopped pictures of the magazines. But in my opinion, you can always see these things in a different way.

As an artist, it is so important to be strong, confident, to take challenges and to believe in to who you really are and what you are doing. Market sometimes accepts just the certain things now, but you should sell what you create. Not to sell yourself! It is just like to sell your soul to devil. That’s not worth it.

One thing I can’t understand why some ladies have decided to show their naked bodies in public. To get the attention and ratings? Is it a new trend? Where is the talent? Everybody can get a nice body shape if they want to. And it is just the easiest way to get photographed by a good photographer, being photoshopped and  posted in the magazine. And what is next? After one month people will stop talking about this.

Just be more passionate about what you do and the customers or fans will come. Just believe, work hard and that will really happen. . .

What does it mean to create styling for the photo shoot? First of all, then you get the offer to work as a stylist, you take a big responsibility to establish the idea. You must understand what does the author want to say. Every picture has to tell the story. You must feel the mood, emotions, energy. And then you start thinking: “…what should I choose..?, where will I find the perfect outfit..?”. I start creating drawings in my head and all the ideas just float. I love everything that is unconventional, not really  suitable for every day wear, something a little bit shocking. Everything that would create a special mood and will be a little bit theatrical.

What inspires me? People, buildings, flowers, sky, streets, history,  paintings, visions, dreams…

Everyday so many ideas come to my head. Sometimes I really feel that I am just burning and I will explode. I hope one day I will reach my goals and I will leave something special in a world of fashion. So I need to work 24/7 and study a lot…
