I believe in karma. I strongly believe that when you really want something and work hard towards that exact dream, it will become reality. Also, I believe that when you do good, you are somehow rewarded, be it positive energy and support that helps you deal with any troubles that might come your way. For instance, I was excited to participate at the bidding auction organized by the Romanian fashion portal Flu. ro. They created a special website [Licitatii.Flu.ro] dedicated to helping raise money for children in need from Sulina, a town in the eastern part of Romania, with opening to the Black Sea. I am participating with some of my work [here] and hopefully people will bid a lot of money on all the product available, giving some children in need opportunities that they might not get otherwise.
The biddings on my dresses start at about 30 Euro [accessories are even cheaper than that], that’s not a lot, if you just add up the amount of money one monthly spends on magazines and other useless stuff. I fully support this auction and Flu’s hard work in making life a bit easier, even if only for one group of children. Small things do make a difference! I recently saw an interview with Madonna, talking about her latest documentary and I was amazed how passionate she was when talking about helping children and the people that are less fortunate than we are. Because lets face it, even the fact that you/I sit right now in front of a computer, in a home, reading/writing this makes us more fortunate than children that are abducted and forced to beg for a living, old people who have no families left and wait to die on the streets, children who end up at a shelter and have to grow up with no parents, and so on.
Everyday I try to be grateful of what I have, cherish what I earn, so I am happy about the fact that I’m mentioned in this article in Dialog Textil, an important Romanian fashion magazine which deals with the business side of Romanian fashion [see article here]. Thank you very much Paula Negrea. I also got the packaging that I ordered and the quilted labels [pictured up] to put on the clothes that I make. Cute, right? Now it’s back to studying for my last University exams and working on my graduation project; ‘from art piece to consumable product’ is the idea, but I will tell you more about it later.
