Creativity & Originality!

Just a thought that has been on my mind forever, and even more so recently:

"Creativity is when you make something out of nothing.....many take that something and try embellishing it without creating something new along the way.....The truth is, they don't realize that it lacks originality, and they lack creativity!"--Me.

What I'm upto next week??

For the next five days starting on Sunday next week, I'll be styling a shoot and video for Emirates airlines. We will be shooting aboard the A-380 craft, focusing on the different classes, amenities, and passengers. A team made up of 4 different photographers plus their assistants, 3 wardrobe stylists plus 2 assistants, 2 make-up and hairstylists plus one assistant, 3 production people plus an assistant, and 43 different models that were cast from ordinary people (ranging from ages 4 through 40's), 3 different creative directors, and 8 Emirates airlines staff members.......should be quite a challenge filled with lots of excitement.....looking forward to it!

Interview Pt.1

I spent most part of the evening yesterday preparing answers for my interview with ROUGE Magazine-Bulgaria. I was interviewed by the Editor-in-Chief, Natalia Georgieva. She was great and had definitely asked questions that not only covered my work as a Stylist, but the depth of my intellect. I stayed up all night trying to perfect them. My friend and current roommate, Allia, got to hear some of them and had given me some constructive criticisms on my answers.....Lessons I had learned from the night were to give good responses without offending anyone, carefully stating my likes and dislikes, and not to disparage anyone's hard work. Thank you Allia for making me see the inevitable....and thanks to all my friends who have helped me with their feedback (Rabah, Ayesha, Hannah, Mum, Dad (may he rest in peace) and my sister Dalal). Did the interview go well? Why don't we wait and find out once it's published....
