Designers' Names

I never like to have any designers' names on my clothings. It doesn't make any sense to me to spend money on Kelvin Kline's or Tommy Hilfinger's shirts and pants, then parade myself around town, and give them a free advertisement. Instead I design my own name on my own shirts and proud to wear them. Many people I know said: "Hey! that is nice!" But one guy said to me in a mocking voice: "You afraid that you might forget your name heh?" I then replied: "Yeh! I am old and forgetful now, and my name is not Kelvin or Tommy that's for sure."

Why do people like to wear other people's names and seem proud to wear them? To show others that they can afford to pay for a designer's shirt and pants? Would people treat or respect them better because of material things? There is a saying: "Don't judge a book by its cover." I only judge a person's worth by his/her actions, but not by what he/she is wearing or how much money he/she has. You can't take fame or money with you when you die, and you will never know what tomorrow will bring. So please be nice and kind to your loved ones and the people around you now, and perhaps spend more money on them instead. I believe that good deeds will last and be cherrished as long as humans are still on this earth, and not the material things that we created.



This design was written on the shirt using a black permanent marker.



The same design was sewn on the blouse with white threads.







I also use the same design on my album.



I made this for a friend, S. L.
