MOTIVATION

I love architecture. Good architectural buildings are pleasant to look at. As a fashion designer I always look for inspirations from architecture. My brain is naturally drawn to shapes and structures. And I think architecture leads me to this program :)

It's interesting that, when you enter a book store, there are usually 10 books about famous architects/architecture firms and 20 books about building for change and green architecture/how houses can save the world. On the other hand, there are usually 10 books about fashion history and 10 other books about the greatest designers in the past.
