Vera Wang


All this while, I was more drawn into the commercial side of entrepreneurship as in only the business aspects. But, this one article really caught my eyes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Wang

The article exquisitely tells us the story about an amicable lanky Asian woman named Vera Wang. While reading this article, it taught me how important fashion contributes to the world of entrepreneurship. Many people, parents in fact think that indulging one’s self in fashion is just a waste of time. But the cold harsh truth is that, fashion is one industry that will never go down. It blooms with prospect all the time and the society goes insane over it. Reading the story of success on Vera Wang, how from a figure skater she stepped into the world of fashion opens up my eyes that fashion is another main branch to entrepreneurship.
Fashion does more than just teaching people ways to suit up. No, fashion in fact gives people, especially business people passion, desire and excitement. We all need the elements of fashion to survive in this fast pacing world.
While reading this article, it hit me how important fashion is to entrepreneurship and if I were to dwell in this industry, I would definitely make a name for myself as I am also a person who adores brands and is very passionate about it.
Hmm, to emphasize more on my love for fashion, my style inspiration would be Scott Disick, the guy from Keeping up with the Kardashians, the oldest sister, Kourtney’s boyfriend, the one who got Kourtney pregnant the one... Okay I shall just stop there. Hope you guys know who he is. It’s so exciting how mere mention of him together with fashion already excites me. Flashes of Armani suits, Rolex watches, Christian Dior’s neckties and so on comes to my mind. I envisage myself to open up a boutique with my very own brand or even being able to collaborate with these couture houses would be a tremendous achievement. Kishanthan’s House of Couture, or maybe Shan’s Glam Wear, or Kishan’s Dress To Kill, or…I know I know.. I am getting way ahead of myself. But doesn’t the ring to all those names feel good? Well it feels magical to me. And it’s not a crime to dream big and I shall keep telling myself that.
As what I am able to depict from the article, Fashion is a flexible industry where everyone immaterial with designing backgrounds or not can still have a taste of it. Looking back at Vera Wang, she now designs exquisite wedding gowns for people from the higher end of society. She never expected to land there as she was an athlete before this. Two very different paths but somehow it crossed one day because this woman was not afraid to dream big. Her wedding gowns are the most sought after and are always talked about.
Someday, I would come up with something where everyone remembers me of it. Probably my very own designs on jackets. That would be one of my life goal. And knowing what sort of a person I am, I will achieve it with the right woman by my side. =)
