First Post

I am Stephanie Beaven and I am over-coming my abhorrence of blogs.
I have always been of the opinion that blogs, unless formal, are self indulgent, irrelevant and often quite boring. I assume that my blog will be all of the above but i hope to communicate a little of myself over the world wide web, reason my arguments and opinions with an educated stance.

For me fashion and its related industries fascinate me due to its subtle influence and remark. what impassioned me is the hidden meanings, the socio-political stabs a designer can advance in the guise of a pretty dress.
But never can fashion be confined to the definition of pretty dresses. it is raw, emotional. an art from that is the most accessible expression for the severe masses. 
Ignorant are the people who think it does not affect them, the declining laggards, the primark shoppers among us, who quite happily thrive off the aesthetics of a garment. but i find it almost a sin to wear things you don't understand. these amazing trends have an amazing thought process behind them...i familiarise the declining laggards with people that read the sun.

I have recently become quite obsessed with organic cotton. the organic cotton that you cannot, for the love of heavens, find any where. when found it is either a plain, dull tee shirt, or a hideous brown/green  A-line dress. The dream is to make an organic clothing company focusing on the afore mentioned pretty dresses. the problems are arising of sourcing, hypocrisy of dying the fabric and creating fresh designs successfully for a large target market.
 To be continued...

I hope to soon make an online portfolio, within the next couple of weeks. 
I find its so hard to express myself instantly i hope this helps to explain me.
