I spent a good whole month in Toronto early this year and I finally made amends with the city. A big part of it was also enjoying a reunion dinner with my fellow Ryerson Fashion Alumni. Between the four of us, we probably won most of the competitions and worked together to win the big one – McGregor (yes, the folks who make socks in Canada). Although we all worked hard for our Fashion degrees, we weren’t the ones that ended up in the fashion industry. From Wedding Conceptual Print Design to running a design studio, marketing music popstars to working as a host in Asia, we all really channeled into different areas of our careers. It was great to see them and I’m rooting for them as much as they’re rooting for me.
We scoured for a great menu and found a little restaurant in Little Italy called Sidecar. Tucked in the back corner, our laughing and non-stop reminsicing reminded me of the days we’d spend at the labs trying to figure out how the heck we’d be able to finish on time. Tams, Sapna, Michie… u girls rock!
The number of business plans and private labels we designed only made me wonder… hmm maybe I’m ready for a business of my own! Spending my last night in KL and I’ve been mediatating on business ideas with Gump. We’re definitely excited to embark on a new secret project that I hope I can share with the rest of the world soon.
For now, I’m uber excited about my next project in HK. I’ve got 8 scrīpts in tow and I’m hoping to lock down the first 4 scrīpts for now…. can’t wait to be back in HK! I’m so ready to work!
