To madgeylou and Magnus - for my tuppence'orth, I'm not terribly interested in fashion at all, but I do think it can be a good purpose. I think you can find a purpose in just about any action - I reckon it's less about what you're doing, and more of why you're doing it.
Making a range of fashionable clothing in order to become rich and famous: probably not a good life's purpose, not that I'm one to judge.
Making a range of fashionable clothing in order to help people feel better about themselves: much better, even though you'll be doing the same thing - albeit with different goals in mind.
BUT, doing the above action well will result in both effects. Although it's probably more likely to happen faster if you concentrate on the latter viewpoint, since doing so will produce better clothes - if you're in it to make good clothes, then you'll make good clothes as a prime objective, the clothes will be better and the money will naturally follow. |
