Ali Javaid, fashion expert

Ali's portrait in my ONE SHOT series, this was one of the first portraits I did

Let me tell you about one of my best friends: Ali.

...I don't even know how to start! I could write a long description of our friendship and how important he's been in my life.. but that might bore you or keep you from reading this post. So I won't.

I WILL tell you that Ali has a passion.

That is fashion, this guy is always busy with fashion. Not only is he an expert on designers and models, he also designs and makes clothing himself!

And now he is participating in a fashion designing competition in Amsterdam!

This competition is looking to advance diversity in the world of fashion, with young designers with European, Asian, African and Arabic roots. They will present their perspective on fashion.

I am sure he will do great, because this is what he does and he is confident in what he makes.

Curious?

Let me help you in getting to know our Ali:

I recently came across this little comic.

It is actually about the same person as this one!

not.. that is about someone specific.. I meant to say.. it is from the same period! yes yes!

But yeah, I'm sometimes like that, I think most people are.

hum.. I had more things I wanted to post here.. but I forgot what those were.. please excuse my scatterbrain!

Scholarship; part two

It is a bit late, but I should post this here; the results of the competition I participated in...

I asked you guys to vote for me, and also to send a copy of your vote to my personal e-mail adress (I will still make the promised drawings for those who 'won'). I didn't receive all that much emails actually, so I would certainly not have guessed that 198 people voted for me!

And with those 198 votes, I had won the public's choice' prize!!!

(I'm sorry, you know.. if you take pictures from a low angle, they will probably not end up all that flattering, I didn't like the original picture enough to post it.. hihi, but you can find it easily yourself if you really want to see it)

My friend, Anna, who was also a participant, won second place!

after that, they started introducing the winner of the first prize. They started by

I haven't seen this guy in a long while, we used to be part of the same group of friends. With that group, we had a lot of parties.. much fun was had.
