Because of a recent freelance job, I had to go to Shum Shui Po (深水埗) to look for fabrics for my designer to create her upcoming collection. Shum Shui Po isn't somewhere I will go often because first it's FAR and also, there is nothing to do there. Spent 2 hours walking from store to store to check out fabric. Then I realize it's tough to be a designer. Imagine there are so much going on behind a simple T-shirt. From sourcing the fabric, to choosing the the right material, from designing the right print to the printing method.. bla bla bla.. etc etc etc. When I was checking the fabrics today, I almost FAINTED because there were way too many options. Even though a lot of them look/feel similar, but they are totally different. After today's trip to Shum Shui Po, I gotta say I am going to pay more attention to every piece of my clothing. Gotta respect the designer!
