  • The Shapes

    Alina Zainab

    The showcase on saturday 1st February 2025.

    On Saturday The 1st of February 2025, was the show case day to showcase our designs to the rest mentees that where mentored with the shapes. It was amazing to see many beautiful designs, well i didn’t get to see much since i was sent a zoom link which i joined and presented my designs, my art project with this picture not good.

    However, my cushions i had to send their but apparently where misplaced somewhere and now no one can see the beautiful work i did i hope that after the showcase they actually managed to find my cushions i have been working hard on.

    But the aim of the cushions is to add mental and physical health helplines on where people would have easy access mixing art and fashion with mental and physical health.

    The main cushion SANE was in memory of my favorite fashion designer lady Dale Tryon, who i Don’t sympathize with but empathize with her, from her suffering from spina bifida from a young age and spending many times hospitals, very similar to me rheumatic pain and often spend most time in hospitals. Then it is trusting and befriending the wrong people, who later betray you.

    If i sympathize with Dale i am not showing to many emotions and still making her feel lonely, but what she needed was one friend to sit down with her and listen to her, not asking her many leading questions or not questions on her relationship with the royal family. Just be there for her, listen to her comfort her let her cry and be herself. Tell her she is an amazing fashion designer.

    Empathy is being there with the person, putting yourself in their position and just wanting to build a friendship based on trust, love, care and comfort. The ozdust ballroom scene reminded me of Dale where everyone would be looking at Dale either laughing and giggling at her, making fun of her, some might sympathize for her, feeling sorry. But similar to Glinda who always wanted one true friend who understood her, yes popular, steps forward and takes Dales hand or reaches my hands out to Dale like asking her if she like to be my friend, and when Elphaba cries i just imagined Dale crying thinking how did she get from a popular fashion designer to everyone hating her or feeling sorry for her. All she wanted is a friend not showing sympathy towards her but showing empathy by stepping forward and saying i want to be your friend, i understand you.

    So i couldn’t have done the Showcase on 1st January 2025 without the help of Lady dale Tryon Kanga.

    First of all i rewatched the documentary prince charles other mistress that was released in 2008, but since 2024 was coming to an end i was thinking of that Dale was a fashion designer why do we need to call this pretty woman a mistress. she is my favorite fashion designer her designs are vibrant and full of colours just as her personalities. I believe those friends on the documentary where not her true friends because if they where they would have documentary made about her tru legacy in fashion and charitable cause like SANE.

    love and legacy the musical, i would love to see the musical ive written either on screen or on stage, and i am taking more singing, dancing and pilate classes change of diet and exercise and acting to audition for many roles hopefully play my favorite fashion designer in the musical i have written.

    The queens reading festival 2025 i am hoping to meet queen camilla on this years queens reading room festival if there ever is any quenes reading room festival. There is so many things i planned like travelling to York for more inspiration in fashion and taking on more fashion courses as well as finishing the retail course and passing.

    Becoming a fashion designer, and with this i need to put my head own and work hard. research and research, the marketing strategy and how much to sell my designs. creating edits on my favorites fashion designer and literature advocate.
