Learning from Andrew Fezza

When I walked into the room, all the pictures of models wearing nice clothes hung on the wall. I immediately felt the air of art and design just blew on my face. Andrew Fezza, the designer of all these fashion clothes in the pictures, stood in the center of the people. He was talking about his whole experience of walking in to the world of fashion. He started fashion design when he was young. He started working at a company, but later he quitted the job and worked at his own studio and did his own business. From his talking, I could see how hard the working of fashion design is. He had to work with many companies and people back and forth to design the cloth and published it. Then he needed to put these clothes he designed into production. Although this work is really complicated and hard, he really loved it and enjoyed all the processes. He travelled all around the places to get inspired. All these inspirations of his design came from all the cultures he experienced, the people he met and the places he stayed. His favorite place is New York City. From here, he saw a lot of people who had their own point of view toward fashion and liked to hear their stories. He said that he made a lot of mistake through his whole life, but working as a fashion designer is the best choice he had ever made. He never regretted the choice he had made, because that was the decision from his heart. He followed his heart and did what he truly wanted to do.  When people asked him why did he  want to choose art as his career, he said this was what he was good at and interested in. Although this job is harder than any other jobs, this is his dream. We should be like him, follow our dreams and never give up. I really enjoy the story he told me after his speech to all the people. He said that once he went to a store and saw a jacket, he really liked the jacket, and it fitted him well. But he thought that the color of the jacket was not the color he liked. So he bought it back home and changed the color of the jacket but himself. I thought he was really creative. And I thought that was the top reason why he became a fashion designer. Creativity can make one stand out and become different. This is what I learn from Andrew Fezza. I had an impressive class that I will never forget and what I learn from him will benefit me forever.
