Hey there and welcome to "The making of Rosa Blanca". I'm a designer-in-making and this blog is set up to archive the creation of Rosa Blanca. This is done by lots of projects, notes, photos and drawings as I do my Fashion Design course at Hertfordshire University. So sit back, relax and enjoy.

Fashion's World Cities
Berg Publisher
New York
I was just reading a section on Japanese fashion to help with my essay about designers using national identity and found a few quotes that I would like to share:
* Japanese have been fascinated by Western dress
*Tokyo today holds a unique position in the urban hierarchy of fashion where consumption and production take place simultaneously
*Tokyo as a fashion city and Japanese designers gradually began to attract attention vicariously through the emergence of Kenzo Takada in Paris in 1970
*Kenzo's sudden appearance and his almost overnight success in Paris as a designer provoked an interest in Tokyo among the fashion professionals in the West, as an exotic, mysterious city, where there could be more creative designers, like Kenzo, hidden or waiting to be discovered.
*It was the combination of Japanese and Western elements that forced the destruction of both in order to reconstruct something completely new
*What is new and different about the current street fashion that emerged at the beginning of the 1990s is that different institutions of fashion for together to make use of and take advantage of the marketing potential of teenagers
