Inexplainable Dreams of Reality

Have you ever had your dreams come true? If not, then make sure to keep them close, because I am certain one day they will. Over the past month I have had the most exciting 4 weeks that I have ever had in my fashion career. And I only hope that this the beginning.

A dear friend asked me to come and assist him on a Vogue Hommes Japan shoot early July. He really threw me into the business with little knowledge of what I was getting myself into. But honestly, that was the best way it could have been done. Within one week, I learned more than I would by sitting in a classroom and taking notes. Day after day shipments from Givenchy, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Alexander Wang, Dries Van Noten and many more came in and seemed unreal that I was able to work with clothes such as these. After 19 trunks worth of clothes and accessories, the shoot was ready and prepped. But the excitement wasn't until we reached the studio and got working with so many creative people on set.

Soon enough I was offered to intern with Vogue Japan/China in their office for the rest of the summer. I tried to contain my excitement when they asked, but I am sure they could see right through me. All I could think was...is this really happening to me? I woke up for work every day with a reason and an exciting purpose to do what I love. It did not matter what task I did, I loved every moment of it.

Then.........Dior. Carine Roitfeld. V Magazine. All in one package. My friend asked me if I wanted to come intern for the shoot with Dior, and Carine Roitfeld. Holy shit. I still get goosebumps when I think about the shoot. Let me just say...this was a huge moment where I said, how could anything get better than this. My dreams had already come true with Vogue and now this was becoming dreams of REALITY. A little background, Carine was the former Vogue Paris Editor-In-Chief and is one of the most influential women in fashion today. She may be the LeBron to your Basketball or your Steve Jobs to your Computers. Some may disagree...but she is pretty fabulously important.

Sooooo I want to say. they will come true. all of them. I am still in disbelief in everything that happened and I just want everyone to do what they LOVE because that passion will show and people will reward you for your desire.
