'I think some people's anxiety is partly due to the fact fashion isn't taken that seriously as an artform or job' WorldMentalHealthDay
"Working in fashion doesn't make me depressed. I've always used my creativity to pull myself out of tough times so it's great that I get to do what I love for a job. This is really one of the happiest times for me. Sometimes however, I know that I use this as a distraction from dealing with problems in my personal or family life. It's a form of escapism, but without that, I think I would feel down a lot more.
Add to that putting all the waking hours into each collection for five minutes of catwalk, then travelling to Paris sell it and returning quite empty..... it's like you've given so much and in a moment, it's all gone. But that's also when I'm happiest, when it's scary, when you're presenting yourself to the world and waiting to see if they like it or not. It's almost sadomasochistic.... I enjoy the fear.
I am actually quite happy now designing for myself, not for stores or press. I guess being a designer, everything is pending on others and you are not in control. If people around me fuck up their jobs, my head is on the chopping board. At the end of the day, I am the brand. So interns, factory, my team, sometimes I feel like I am working for them instead of the other way around."Well I wouldn't say I get super depressed but I do get down about money.
One of the things I hate is that you have to immediately reply to an email, even if you don't have an answer. You have to tell them you'll get back to them with another email. Fuck emails."I'd be depressed if I had to work a 9 to 5 doing something random. Fashion is hard work, and stressful but I'm happier at work, because I can focus on that and don't have to think about the stuff that actually stresses me out.
