My journey started at the Bandra outfit of FDDI, did a short basic course and soon landed a job of a 'designer' at KAN Accessorise. Thanks to my teachers of forensic science!
At KAN as every fresher I learnt a lot and just absorbed all like a piece of sponge. My boss, was a great woman. I enjoyed a great amount of freedom at KAN. Everything from sourcing material and fittings to pattern cutting, designing, and finishing I saw and learnt at KAN. I even did up the window at one of their stores. But that didn't last for long. And for reasons best known to me, I quit.
Of the million things I learnt at KAN, the most important was that I realised that ethnic, bejewelled women's footwear wasn't my choice of footwear to design. But I sure did some while I was there...it was part of my job.
I'm working currently at a place that is miles away from designing shoes, but it ain't as far away from a part of me.
A huge part of me craves and knows that someday I will have my own line of footwear. Slowly and steadily I will get there. I remind myself each day, 'I won't succeed at something that I don't work for every single day.' Wise words by someone...I think it was Will Smith, not sure though. And I work at my dream everyday. Feels good, real good.
