This piece is wonderful - and your Substack is a magical (and very chic!) place. I couldn't agree more, I think so much of what creativity is embedded in childlike exploration and joy, and the moment we start expecting too much of it, or rather projecting the societal expectations like it's something anyone can ever satisfy, the cracks begin appearing and we get stuck.
Also, I had absolutely no idea that the RL documentary existed and I was long searching for a great fashion one, so thank you!
PS - Do you happen to have any best recommendations for trying one's hand at fashion illustration? I reckon it's best to start with basic drawing courses and silhouettes and progress?
Fellow creative (and mom to a little boy) here. Been floundering a bit through a career transition, and found this post just in time. It's a great reminder that the best way out of a rut is to learn something new. So, thank you.
Love this. Thank you. Yes, I’d love to know more in the future about the books, podcasts and substacks that inspire you.
I love this! Having it figured out is antithetical to a creative career! Can’t wait to dive into some of these resources.
Exactly!! And yes, enjoy them all! Let me know which ones you end up exploring ❤️
