Shoshin is a concept in Zen Buddhism meaning “beginner’s mind”. It refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying a subject, even when studying at an advanced level, just as a beginner in that subject would.

Hey guys! Thanks for all the new follows, I have some following back to do. It has been a busy transition back into my last semester after studying abroad but guess what? I am starting a personal designer research project that I will be sharing with you as I go. I hope to compile a “book” of sorts of influential designers, whether they design in my (always changing) taste or not, and pull out what made them successful and the best advice I can find from their interviews and books over the years. I think this will be helpful not just for me, but for others too. This idea started with the realization that although my influences are far and wide, they are not very deep into any one field and I think starting with THE PREDECESSORS is the best way to refresh my perspective and fill in any gaps in knowledge. There is much to learn from the great designers other than sewing techniques. Anyway, here is a preliminary list I just brainstormed of designers I would like to research:
Hussein Chalayan
Nina Ricci
Marc Jacobs
Balenciaga
Sonia Rykiel
Gareth Pugh
Stella McCartney
Marten Van Der Hoorst
Donna Karan
Michael Kors
Tommy Hilfiger
Ralph Lauren
Issey Miyake-Notebook on cities and clothes
Prada
Rei Kuwakubo/Comme Des Garcons
Vivienne Westwood
Alexander McQueen
Viktor & Rolf
Creatures of the Wind
Marchesa
Valentino
Stephane Rolland
Antonio Berardi
Galliano
…
..
.
Who else should be on this list? I’m looking for “genius” designers rather than only rich/well-connected designers but I guess there are a few more Italian ones I could include. I am not really interested in covering Chanel, because I know the label inside out and I feel it is so much a part of almost everyone’s fashion vocabulary. With that one excluded, what else?
The illustration above is the work of a lovely lady named Jane Mount who I learned about on Little Commas.

Happy New Years Eve Eve. 2013 will bring a new era for FDD, including reviews, interviews, interactive things and such. Please do submit your own resources or send an ask anytime. Cheers!
Wow, looks like a lot of work goes into creating these gorgeous displays. We only see the result of a lot of planning and tedious craftsmanship.
Well, that logic certainly can’t be argued with.
I can’t remember which outmoded etiquette handbook this was from, but I think I’ve seen this before. This may seem silly but I’m looking at it thinking it’s more about enjoy books for the knowledge they contain rather than their appearance or decorative quality. How about both? Just a thought.
