Editors Letter: August 2014
Welcome to August,
I’m excited about the future endeavors of Quirky Bombshell. Where should I begin. This month will be filled with me giving great advice to burgeoning fashion designers. QB magazine will feature articles focused on topics that are important to people in careers that focus on fashion. Yep, it’s August and school is in session! Consider this week “textile and fabric week”! The first set of articles I’ll be creating will focus on textiles; how to select the best fabrics for your fashion line, fabric trends, and even how to select the best material for your collection themes! I will also be reviewing some choice fashion collections of the season.
As an editor, I think it’s important for me to understand every aspect of fashion to some level. Photography has always been a secret passion of mine. I have thoughts of maybe taking up some much needed camera work. A few classes here and there might really make a difference. Why am I telling you this? Because eventually I want to be the one behind the camera! Styling is something that comes naturally to me. I do have a background in visual merchandising, and one of my many responsibilities was styling, so yeah that comes naturally. But I always look for challenges in the fashion industry. I’m not afraid of testing my boundaries and discovering new ways to educate and inspire my readers. As I stated last month, a photo shoot is in the making, and I will be incorporating that in my new website look. This is an online magazine after all. It’s about time I start stepping up my “game” and start really showing you what it means to be a Quirky Bombshell!
It’s time to bring more energy…quirk, etc. I don’t want my readers to think that Quirky Bombshell is just about a look. IT’S A STATE OF MIND! There is a certain ebb and flow that contributes to the essence of being a Quirky Bombshell. Now let’s get to the meat and potatoes of what this sites about. I don’t want to be as predictable as other magazines. One minute you might see an ultra colorful photoshoot one month, and the next you might see sleek earth tones with immaculate construction. Don’t you see? To understand the Quirky Bombshell, you must be free. Free from all that imprisons you in fashion. She’s not a brand, a constant look, a “bandwagoner”, a shy girl (or woman). No, she understands who she is and will show it no matter what! She GETS what fashion really is about and that is FREEDOM. I’m ready to bring my A-game if you are. I am thoroughly enjoying this summer and all the fashion exposure I’ve been getting. It helps me connect with people online and in every day life.
To my readers; I am lucky to have you come to my online magazine and motivate me to produce the best work I possibly can. That is all for now… for now.
