La mia Ditta / My Brand?

I'm on the edge of finding myself a new name to work as. Soon I will register my own little business, so I can finally work independently and do everything I have ever dreamed of. Maybe the path of independence is rocky, but I am willing to embrace the adventure.

Thank you everyone who have helped to find myself a new name. Special thank you to Prancing Pixie Studio http://prancingpixiestudio.blogspot.com/, Angi Sullins http://angiinwonderland.com and my friends in Finland and Italy.

Milano

Life starts to settle here. New routines are found and things start to become easier. It has been a surprise for me, how hard it is even to take a bus in the beginning? In the beginning your head simply don't know what to do with all the new thoughts and information you need to create and gather.

Finding a job in Italy ain't so easy either. After turning down few summer village offers, that would have used me instead of helping me, my spirit is lacking faith. This is the worst moment to try to find a job, even for an italian designer. The problem is that many seem to be interested in my experience, but none are willing to pay even a -normal- payment for it. Take everything and give nothing back.

But as a city, I start to like some of Milan. In the spring sun it is beautiful and the quality and size of fashion stores is amazing. Colours are quite a hit on the fashion right now, violet on number one spot -at least what comes to the image of Milan.

I learn every day more and more italian, but still I talk like Tarzan. It's funny that italian students have troubles finding a job because they do not know english, but I have a problem finding a job because I do not know italian. Well. In time.
