How do you expect to make it with unoriginal work?!
I don't wanna see the same shit!
OK, SO THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INSPIRATION & ORIGINALITY.
I'm not implying that you shouldn't look to other artists/designers as a source of inspiration, but definetly step outside of the box to make that idea even greater and more interesting than ever.
For instance - how many people are going to make a debut with lace/studded sunglasses? I like the concept, but sorry its already been done.
Stevie Boi is a good example of this. Not sure how many of you are familiar w/ his work, but he's definetly blossomed since his myspace days. He's taken sunglasses to the next level with the materials he uses & the complexity & variation he adds to each one. ♥
IDK. Maybe it's just me... but I really think people need to step their game up if they want to make a big impression.
Another thing with the glasses is that everyone seems to be customizing them!
Why not use another medium? You can always do things with clothing, and accessories are always a plus to have in one's wardrobe :)
I came across this blog the other day, Taste the Candy, which is ran by a guy named Jevon Smith. Smith is the designer of Valor Candy, where he currently has a line of watches. Definetly has somethin goin, check him out on his blog or buy a watch HERE :)
Welllll, that's pretty much how I feel about youth's current thirst for fashion & design. Goodnight!
