Fashion, is a fascinating field to work in.
But, like any other creator you would like to put your own signature on the clothes. It can sometimes be a big dilemma, because often you have to make compromises to keep the customer happy and satisfied.
Usually the customer have a certain idea of what they want and that is a good starting point. But the view of the designer is equally important.
The designer or dressmaker can often tell if the idea is suitable for the occasion and maybe suggest improvements or alternatives. Sometimes it takes an effort to convince the customer about that.
To stay true to your ideals is important, but not always possible.
As you can see in my previous post, I don´t think the Wedding-dress of the century had the signature of Alexander McQueen. It could have been any designer or Fashion House who did it.
But obviously you don´t decline an assignment like that. The attention you get in a case like this, is far too valuable.
