'Pisces is the Sign of Dreams and Secrets; it represents much that is hidden, both strengths and enemies. Aries is the Sign of new beginnings. those born under this Sign may be fascinated with dreams and dream interpretation.
like the popular conception of the Ram, Aries are able to accomplish a lot by sheer energy and force of will, 'ramming' their way to their goals. in this way, Aries exemplifies the Cardinal quality assigned to it. Pisces, on the other hand, can be indirect and unfocused. Pisceans don't have a strong agenda; they tend to go with the flow and move where life takes them. in this way, Pisces exemplifies the Mutable quality assigned to it. Pisces/Aries are unique in the sense that they are the chameleons of the Zodiac, receptive to the needs of others, but also tending to be about self and ego rather than the balance between people. however, they are not loners.
Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars. in ancient Roman mythology, Mars (and his Greek equivalent, Ares) was the god of war. he was bold, aggressive, energetic and courageous. Mars was active and high-spirited, full of physical energy and vitality. Aries or Aries Cusp-born reflect Mars's leadership and initiative. Pisces/Aries Cusp individuals are adept at taking the ball and running with it, and projects tend to progress quickly under their guidance. a well-run project may become boring for these chameleon-like folks; they can lack follow-through and lose interest before the project is completed. they are idealistic, but sometimes their dreams are vague and impractical. when reality intrudes, they can become pessimistic or lethargic, but they are very adaptive and broad-minded so they can rework their ideals when necessary.'
'for the entirety of 2010, i worked forty hours per week in a mind-numbing job; leaving little time for creative indulgence and transforming my outlook into one of drained pessimism. the break from academic thought did, however, force extensive self-evaluation. i observed similarities between my own values and experiences and those of creative professionals – namely, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez; the creative minds behind American luxury fashion label Proenza Schouler – whom had successfully battled through tedious periods of their career (such as global economic uncertainty), as this mirrored my own life at the time.
while the prestige of Parsons School of Design would have undoubtedly aided the propelling of Proenza Schouler’s name and work out into the industry, there is a level of sincerity to the label’s sustained success that opened my eyes to the realisation that a career in fashion design is an actual possibility. having come from an upbringing of realists and a certain sense of practicality, this was a pivotal turning point.
the success of McCollough and Hernandez, at such a young age, is something that i continually reflect on for reassurance.
Hernandez once noted a coming-of-age that was experienced during the development of their brand. “we’re [McCollough and himself] growing up and we’re going through life and experiencing all these different things. it is very much a creative process. we can’t help but be influenced by our experiences.” i similarly experienced a period of maturing over the last twelve months, though perhaps on a comparatively minute scale, and observed a resulting subconscious refinement of my personal design aesthetic.
the Career Storm module highlighted that some of my key intrinsic motivations are determination, independence and a desire for recognition of my work. Proenza Schouler is a very hands-on, self-reliant label, and so we evidently share a number of underlying values. for example, McCollough and Hernandez have never relied upon advertising; the first ever editorial produced was for the season of Spring/Summer 2011 – almost a decade after the launch of the brand. similarly, nearly all of the design work is completed by the two designers. within these finer details, there is a continuous celebration of the independence of the brand.
i design more or less out of necessity as i can very rarely find garments available to my budget and locale that are of an acceptable level of quality and body-awareness (in terms of a flattering fit). i therefore admire that the longevity of Proenza Schouler’s success is based purely on the merit of the attention paid to the brand’s customer base and the conspicuous level of craftsmanship to the garments; a distinct attention to detail in tailoring that is always partnered with a signature youthful slouch and ease.
André Leon Talley claimed that McCollough and Hernandez “are not just stylists. their greatest strength is their appreciation of the construction of clothes: the tailoring, the linings, the seams—all are done perfectly, and that’s what makes them great.”
“when we started designing, it was that whole deconstruction thing. we thought, anyone can do that. we've been in school for four years. we know what construction is”
it is the range of shared characteristics between myself, and Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, that has encouraged and inspired me to study within the Creative Industries – and to aspire to my dream career of fashion design. if i had not come across the young American luxury label, there is a large chance that i would not have been propelled into a career that is truly a personal and informed choice.' - pissy 500 word assessment #234234234.
