So I stayed up all night going through Chanel News; watching previous fashion shows, FW14, SS14 as well as interviews and other short films and whiles watching the 'Details of Chanel' I was filled with an overwhelming sense of inadequacy almost. I was exploring the success' if a fashion house and a creative director at a level that I was nooo where near. I found myself quite harshly criticizing my work and questioning myself and my ability. Like this isn't enough. My work isn't enough. Decent illustrations but my designs are crap, amateur; very mediocre - I almost feel like a plagiarist in the sense that somewhere and by someone, my designs have been done and to a much better standard than what I was producing. My work isn't transcending boundaries. It doesn't pop. There's nothing about my work that sets me above the long list of competition - from the likes of Karl Lagerfeld to the student that sit next to me in the same Fashion and Textiles Foundation course. How hard am I working? How far am I really pushing myself? Fact is, I'm entering an extremely competitive and fickle industry which I once could see myself one day tackling and being really successful in. An industry that now I am now struggling to see my place.
