Beszelek nemetul, de amiota angol nyelvteruleten elek azota teljes kaosz van neha a szavakkal a fejemben. Arrol talan kevesen tudnak, hogy az egyetem elvegeztevel rogton kulfoldi munka lehetosegek utan kutattam, mivel lattam otthon nem sok lehetosegem van a divatszakmaban, es kotoskent ez meg kilatastalanabbnak tunt, hiszen a cegeket felszamoltak es mondjuk igy, az ipar meg keletebbre vonult. Szoval kuldtem a palyazataimat, regisztraltam ugynoksegehez - elsosorban Angliaba, - de mindenhonnan ugy jott vissza a valasz, ha kaptam valaszt - , hogy sajnaljuk, de nem rendelkezel elegendo tervezoi tapasztalattal, igy az allas interjura nem tudunk meghivni. Tovabbi sok sikert kivanunk a munkavallalas teruleten. Bla, bla, bla. Egyszer meg vissza is mertem irni, h ugyan mondjak mar meg mikor lesz elegendo tapasztalatom, ha nem kapok lehetoseget? Termeszetesen valasz nem jott, de a palyazast nem adtam fel. Folyamatosan alakitottam az oneletrajzom es palyaztam.
Igy tudhatom magam mogott tobbek kozott a Moholy-Nagy Osztondijjat, Marie Claire fo dijjat 2011 ben es FISE tagkent rengeteg kiallitasban es csupa jo dolgokban volt reszem, ami egyre jobban gyarapitotta az oneletrajzom.

Ezek a lehetosegek egy csomo feladatattal, rajtuk keresztul pedig tapasztalattal gazdagodttam, mire eljott az ideje annak, h letrehozzam a JOKKAdesign markat.

Mi volt a lenyeg kezdetben? Termeszetesen errol nem beszeltem. Lesz ami lesz alapon tobb uton kell epitkezni. Eloszor is kellett egy forum, egy hely ahol nemzetkozi szinten is meg tudok mutatkozni. Barki, barhol a vilagban kap egy kepet arrol, mit tudok es mire vagyok kepes a kotes teruleten. Ha nem vesznek fel ceghez, akkor megcsinalom a magam ceget, ahol dolgozni fogok.  - (itt egy korabbi cikk rolam, ha valakit a korabbi korszakom erdekelne: http://cotcot.hu/cikk/2010/12/10/kotott-palyan-kotetlenul)
A munkakat sajat magam kezdtem el kitalalni, kollekciokat kulonbozo uzenetekkel.

A cel nem az eladas volt, hanem a termek, ami idovel vevore, aztan vevokre es meg tobb megrendelore talalt.

"KÜLLEMDIKTÁTOROK" címszó alatt megjelentek ruháim, az OfficeTrend oldalán.

Kozben pedig renduletlenul palyaztam, palyaztam otthon, kulfoldon, mindenhol. Munkakra, projektekre, kiallitasokra, ami csak a kotessel kapcsolatosan lehetett.

A tapasztalatok pedig gyultek, azonban a munka vallalasi papirokra tovabbra is az a valasz jott vissza, ami korabban. Lassan elkezdtem azt gondolni, h majd ha 70 eves leszek, akkor is ugyan ezt a - nem rendelkezel elegendo tapasztalattal szoveget fogom hallgatni? Meddig kell varni, amig barmi is elegendo lesz? Szoval cselekedni kellett es utazni. ...

The Age of Aquarius - NZ Fashion Museum: Pop up exhibition 2. part

Geyser Building, 100 Parnell Rd, Auckland / New Zealand
Exhibition hours are 10am to 4.30pm. Open Monday-Saturday. 

After that I read the Fashion Museum's catalog about The Age of Aquarius, It was necessary to turn back second time to see the 70's garments. These clothes, carry a lot more interesting details than one might think at first glance. I discovered fabrics, print and knit techniques which has been completely forgotten so I would like share with you this experience.
