Confessions of a Fashion Designer

Photobucket

You are invited to the next art show at BOOKMACHINE: Books + Zines: Confessions of a Fashion Designer: Artwork by Sergio M. Arroyo. The opening reception is Friday, September 2, 2011 from 7-11pm during the Downtown Fullerton Art Walk. This event is FREE and open to the public.

Artist's statement:

The world of Haute Couture fashion has always interested me since I was very young. I remember seeing the movie Gone With The Wind, at nine years old, and being inspired by the beautiful women's costumes. After watching Gone With The Wind, I drew dresses that resembled what Scarlet O'hara wore. It was not until my senior year in high school that I finally grew enough balls to take a fashion class, where I learned how to sew.

What I like about fashion is that it can display beauty through wearable art. Designing beautiful clothes gives me a calm feeling, like everything is going to be perfect in an imperfect, chaotic world. In times of stress, beauty can be calming. And seeing beauty, whatever you see as beautiful, can give you hope to help create a better future.

--Sergio M. Arroyo

Hope to see you there!

  1. Celebrities and famous personalities all clamor to be dressed and styled by the greatest and the best, thus giving way for new and younger designers. Narciso Rodriguez, Monique Lhullier, and Stella McCartney, just to name a few, are all young designers in demand today in the fashion industry.
