Revelations…
Great! You have reached my somewhat personal blog. Here, I write revelations and thoughts that I feel like they need to be shared. You might find a few which you don’t like or don’t resonate with. Read at your own risk!!1!
Revelation #1/ Thought #1
There are currently 422,805 fashion brands on the market. Globally speaking. Including Serban. Every brand says that they are special, everybody makes fast-fashion, custom-made clothing, streetwear, anything that you can think of. Everyone went to a top rated fashion design university. Promises have been made. “Oh, after you come to our university, you’ll surely be hired at top fashion brands.” You can imagine who got hired and who didn’t, money given out to big institutions just to get a cardboard diploma. While, everyone says that, “I’ll go to university and then I’ll truly know how to make fashion, and after that I’ll only get inspiration.”. I’m not saying that fashion universities are useless, maybe they teach you pattern making or drawing, etc. Try teaching yourself to design, all of it, even if you’re a total beginner, the internet is full of information. Or if you enjoy giving out money, try courses. My opinion, is that it all comes down to your imagination, what you can create with your mind. If you don’t have a strong and exercised mind to create garments out of thin air, than, you’ll be a tailor, somewhat of a designer that only knows how to sew and only create other’s ideas. All that I’m saying is, create something new, don’t try to follow everyone, don’t take the classic road to town, venture into the forest, maybe you’ll find a better path inside that dark forest. Trust your gut…
Going back to those 422,805 fashion brands. I ask, why is it that one chooses a brand to buy from? Why would you choose to buy from me? I can’t come to you and say, “Yeah, but my brand makes only limited edition fashion.” or “My brand is special because it also makes custom-made clothing for special occasions.”, because everybody says that. There are no arguments to make a client buy a garment. You can assure a customer that it’s “super high quality”. But, it still stays at the visual impact of the clothing piece. The thing that first hits you, colors, style, etc. And also, it stays at the vision, the vision of the brand itself. Ask yourself, does this brand align with my vision or lifestyle? Vision in fashion is everything.
That’s what I had in mind today…

Revelation #2/ Thought #2
Today I'm going to give my opinion on street wear fashion brands. Everybody, is now starting a clothing brand, but they aren't starting it out of passion, they start it for the money. And, you may ask, how do you know that, or why do you say that? Well, because everyone is making the same thing, distressed embroidery, acid washed oversized hoodies and sweatpants. The most basic and classic things. Nobody is willing to experiment anymore, they just want to get sales. They don't care about making history, they care only about money.
Why did it come to this? Well, because of the customers, the people don't really care about quality in today's world. If they like the print on it, they'll buy it because it's "really nice" or "clean".
I dare you, reading this, whatever you're doing in your life, try to experiment, don't take the classic route. Take a less traveled path. Go for it, be different. Even if you'll be perceived as weird by the society at first, just trust in what you're doing and continue, without stopping.
Build a shield around yourself to the nay-sayers and keep believing.
BUT ONLY IN THEIR DREAMS CAN MEN BE TRULY FREE. 'TWAS ALWAYS THUS AND ALWAYS THUS WILL BE.
That’s what I had in mind today…
