When you think of fashion, the last thing on your mind is lables, hangtags, trimmings and tapes. But they are just as important as any aspect of developing your brand. They give the item a certain look and feel and help de customer understand what kind of brand you are and want to be.
I want to introduce you to this company called "Prop Labels". Here, they develop the most eye-catching and divers labels, trimms, tapes, hangtags, barcode stickers etc. They are the brains behind the commercial aspect of fashion. Not only are they masters in creating these items, they also try to do it in a eco-friendly way! So if you own a fashion company and are in need of some fresh new trimms and accessories.. check out their website here!

Things I found in my garden

Marbled stairs

Rusted Iron

Little plants that look like cabbage

Unfolding Flower

Clay pebbles in water, some float, some sink to the bottom



As a Fashion person, I always try to find new ways to get inspired. One way, is to take out my camera and wonder around my garden, taking pictures of all the amazing plants, bugs, etc. etc.
I'm constantly amazed by the incredible things that are happening in my garden without even knowing it! So.. Time for some action, grab you're camera and make a garden route for yourself. Maybe even, take the dog out for a walk with your personal inspiration guide in you're hand. You'll be stunned by the extraordinary things around you! Good luck!

My First

Hi!

So.. this is the beginning of my blog; Passion For The Arts. Due to the fact that I have some free time on my hands, I can now share my love for creativity with you guys. Don't know how to start this off, but hopefully you like my taste of fashion, art and other creative interests.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself;
I'm 21 years old and live in a small town in The Netherlands. For those of you who don't know where that is; google will tell you all about that! As a yough child I was always creative and finding out new ways to explorer my abilities. I loved to draw with alternative materials, learned how to knit from my grandmother and always tried to push my creative boundries. As a result, I found out that I was different than the rest of the kids. It wasn't easy trying to find my own way but I embraced my awkwardness and learned how to deal with it. After a while, I knew what I wanted to do for a living; I wanted to become a fashion designer. At the time, it wasn't common to do an education in Fashion and people tried to understand what I was trying to achieve. They saw the creative side of me and after some period of time they knew I belonged to be in that kind of environment.
Now I'm trying to explorer who I am as a designer and where I want to stand in my life. I know it sounds a bit philosophic but hopefully I can inspire some people, maybe those who can relate to my story.


Second post is already on the way!
