“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and lead a trail.” This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson stayed with me while I was designing my fall/holiday collection. I took a business class some months ago and from painting one of a kind scarves, I decided to change my tactic and technique and come up with a design just as beautiful, but design that can be reproduced quickly and it doesn’t take me days to complete.

But how do I do that? Well, I experimented lots and lots. I took an old method, transformed it, and added my own technique to it. In the end, I came up with a brand new technique—my own. There were many trials and errors until it could be perfected. In a way, I think everything I’ve done until now has lead me to this point.
