At that point I was able to continue my education and was less interested in pursuing graphic arts as a career. So if I had been able to work as a graphic designer right out of school, who knows whether I would have done the fashion thing? I suspect I still would have found my way to where I am today. You never can tell, can you?Liesl Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01077922825872748873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15639962.post-62599262095954710192007-10-13T14:59:00.000-04:002007-10-13T14:59:00.000-04:00I am totally amazed that you didn't have formal tr...I am totally amazed that you didn't have formal training in clothing and fashion design!
