Balls & Dolls

Sometimes I muse on where it all started, this passion for clothes. And very often I end up with inborn qualities and genes. Obviously. Like small boys run after each ball and small girls feel the urge to dress each doll? Now, my memory won’t bring me back the Diper’s Years (one could point out that fashion starts here, crawling around and wonder what the heck was annoying your bottom?). But first impressions of a Fashionista are emerging in the college years. I can’t rule out a single girl of these days: they were all very keen on clothes. But some were always dressed smartly, some hit the jackpot once in a while, and others were desperate. The suspicion I was buying a lot of my clothes in boutiques led them ask me to help out or give advice on several occassions. And I was getting my first step into this exciting and colourful world of amazing fabrics and shapes. And I’ve been hooked ever since.
