About Fashionscapes

There are certainly several reasons why I thought Fashionscapes would be the appropriate name for this site.

Reason number 1:

Fashionscapes, from the similar sounding word “Landscapes” wishes to share with you our analysis of what is going on in the ever changing fashion terrain. What’s in, what’s out, what goes well with what, are just some of the buzz words that you will find in this site.

Reason number 2:

Fashionscapes, may also be interpreted as the shortened version of the word “Fashion Escape”. We all know that in pursuit of being considered “fashionable” a lot has gone extreme without knowing that they have actually become fashion victims. While we will definitely be sharing about fashion trends, we will balance it out with some word of advice or caution so that you will not fall into the common fashion pitfalls.

As the word escape also connotes, Fashionscapes in my own term, could also just be as simple as "thinking out loud" of one's indulgent rumination of the world around us.

Reason number 3:

Lastly, Fashionscapes may also be interpreted from the word “Fashion Escapades”. Part of my job is to travel to various parts of the world either to attend trade shows, meet with clients and designers abroad or to source out new materials for our fashion accessories. It is during these travels that I would come across objet d’art and some rare fashion finds which I also wish to share with you through this site.

I hope that as you log on to this site, you will experience the same excitement I have with Fashionscapes!

It seemed like ages since I last posted an article on this site. My life has taken several unexpected twists and turns this year, a real roller coaster ride, that the important had been taken over by what's urgent. Truth be told, I miss writing and while I cannot completely explain how I feel with my unplanned, unintentional hiatus I simply must say that I felt incomplete and disconnected. And so, i had longed with a longing that gets even more intense as the days, weeks, months went by. And while the desire is there, there seemed to be an invisible force holding me up. Several attempts has been made but just like a withered bent tree after a fierce storm, I seemed to have lost the very life force that fuels the creative imagination, the heartbeat, the very heart of writing. And so, here I am, a lone desperate soul looking, seeing, waiting...waiting for the train express that would take me back, take me back...
