Well, football fans may have noticed that the Chiefs may have lost a game, but they somehow boosted everyone else’s chances of winning games this year. Me, I’m a Bears fan (stop booing), so I had a good night. One thing that could have made the night better for me? A Project Runway marathon.
I’m not kidding, I love that show. The one thing that always amazes me, though, is when they start nagging about each other, because inevitably, someone will try “draping”, and someone else will say, “Sally has no idea how to drape properly”. This will leave me staring at the TV thinking “Dude! You just drape it! How can that be hard?” Thousands of college kids adorn themselves in homemade togas for parties every year, and I guarantee you that few and far between have fashion design experience.
Hopefully this book will help me understand the world of draping. Well, more specifically, The Art of Draping. This is the 3rd. edition: That immediately tells me there’s more to this than I realize. Any need to revise an art like draping makes it immediately complex. And then, I open up to see a type of draping called a “hip yoke”. I’m guessing that isn’t slang for a really cool egg.
Okay, draping, you win. If you’re a fashion student, you may want to thumb through this. Because if you don’t keep up, one day you’ll be in. And the next… you’re out. (I love project runway!!)
