"Hi, many thanks for accepting my invite!
 
Love the simple but elegant design of your jewelry.  Nothing gaudy.  Love the 'dash' of blue in some of your pieces.
 
Warmly,

Sara is right ... art is basically in its infancy in the Middle East and there are some cultural restrictions.  But, for sure, interest in art is strong :)
 
However, I thought…"

I read about crowdfunding recently, and it clearly leverages the phenomenon of social media.  Here's another website for yours and others' reference:

I use the word 'cross-art' to refer to collaborations among artists from different genre, e.g., visual, musical, dance artists.  I find that artists, in general, create mostly within the context and framework of their own art, whatever…"

Many thanks for your note!  Cool to know what you're doing.  I'm sure you get a chance to 'play around' with your ideas at school, then come up with some 'fab' designs.

Great to hear that.  Dubai is slowly waking up, economically.  But it remains quite active in a lot of things ... arts, clubs, culture.

  • Many you're welcomes.

     

    Thanks for the compliment on my name.  I was actually named after my mother's favorite color, and I love the uniqueness of it.

     

    Yeah maybe next year, I'm still a little hurt by the loss to the Jets.

     

    As far as my updates, I try to keep them a reflection of who I am, and what I'm feeling in the moment.  Like Twitter, they're always a hit and miss, but I don't care much because I'm a real person expressing who I am.

    Hi Ron,

    Great to have u on board. I enjoyed reading the about u section on your page. Put a smile on ma face.

     

    We r definitely not in the business to loose. Its easier for us to give up when the going gets tough and we do not get what we want or realise that success is not handed to us on a plate (so wish it was tho LOL)

    I have been through all that as a teenager and am glad i have come this far to realise that winning is everything and its nice to find people like u on the network who can also motivate and inspire our younger and up and coming ones that its not all about the glamour and the riches but most importantly the hard work u put into tryna get what u want or where u wanna be at.

    Am glad we in touch.

    Great to network with u and brace yourself because u will be getting truck barrel loads of questions flung your way from me. I ask a lot of questions because thats also how i can get to learn about the industry.

     

    So, welcome to my fashion world of art, clothes, photography and just Me

  • hey wonderful,so do make short films or smthng. actually im doing a diploma course of 2yrs 4 textile in fashion designing. i do make jewellery using my own ideas n also paint on tees,which s my all time favourite job,n wnt to b a gud jewellery designer.tc
  • Hello,

    Everything is great. Waiting for the new season and collection to come out. How is Dubai? 

  • Hi Ron,

    Yes I aslo believe new innovation comes from creative minds from several different industries and backgrounds. Collaboration is key to those who seek  new platforms or mediums to  showcase talent. 

    I believe that the art and film industries are now playing a huge role in fashion In the way of integration. Combining fashion, film and art.

    I think we are going to continue to see new innovative ways of the fashion being perceived and displayed in this manner. I hope that we can also keep in touch as we can update one another on trends, news or anything else that is vital or taking place in our perspective parts of the globe. 

    Also wishing you a great New year and many blessings for 2011

  • Hello New friend!

     

    The economy in the US is not great at the moment. However it is picking up somewhat especially the last term of the year. largely due to  great retail therapy. Consumers seemed to be feeling the holiday season!

    I am looking into more avenues in distribution for several markets. Old and new. I am always excited to learn about new designers, and what markets will fit those demographics to be successful. If you have any questions about the west coast let me know. I would be more then happy to fill you in on anything.

     

    Best,

     

    Antoinette
