Fashion Passion

Of the many things I am interested in, fashion is definitely among the top of my list. I am fortunate enough to have Tiffany Diane (of austinisburning) as a good friend who is associated with a lot of efforts to make Austin more of a fashion epicenter. Among the great things that are happening is FashionLeak, a website that showcases 12 designers to be "featured online in a cinema verite vignette highlighting their artistic vision and creative process." Every year the designers will be invited to a three day fashion event put on by the website.
This month they featured John Renaud, a talented designer from Midland, TX. They had a great video launch party last week at buydefinition, a wonderful boutique right across the street from St. Edwards university on South Congress (unfortunately they only sell woman's clothing like most clothing stores, something the modern man interested in fashion eventually has to accept and move past).
Fashion is probably only something that I will participate in from a distance, only through the treads that I choose to assemble on the daily. But, I will always be something that inhibits my desires and dreams, and who knows, maybe someday some kind of opportunity may come my way to explore my interest further.
