creating my happiness

CREATING MY HAPPINESS by fashion designer, Gabrielle Nti. One hundred and fifty seconds. That is the time it took my collection to go down the runway at the 12th annual Miami University Fashion and Design show. For some, it may seem short. Especially when you consider the mood boards you continuously re-developed, patterns you created, yards of fabric you had to cut, critiques from mentors, sleepless nights, fittings, and the number of pins that accidentally poked you in the process. Many would say it is not worth it. But those people have not experienced the unexplainable feeling when you are backstage, watching people’s reactions to your work for the first time.
