Our next type of vest that you give yourself a jumping off point from is a military inspired vest and you may think wow that's pretty in depth, military is the inspiration so what can I do with it I'm not saying that, I'm not trying to patronize or condescend your abilities but I'm just trying to talk out loud and as stupid or as kindergarten style as I may seem I'm just trying to get you to think, that is what was done to me and it did make me feel stupid so I don't mean to make anybody even thinking along these lines stupid it's the fact that a military inspired vest can be so much more than what I am showing you. But I am not going to do it for you because I don't want you getting paid for my design, just kidding. As a fashion designer, you have to have a point of view, you can't have a point of view that someone else gave you. It might work for a little while and you might wool people but a point of view is something that is internal and you have to know what yours is in order to make it external in order to show people what it is, you have to feel it whole heartedly or at some point in your career in life it is going to come across as fake and the last thing that you want is to spend the exorbitant price on clothes buying clothes by this big name designer that you realize is not all about the design, they're about whatever it is that they're about and you can have an egotistical blow hard, they're not about the love of the design. Your point of view has to come across and you cannot fake it, that's the whole point.
