Bamboozled
October, 2010 issue of Grid
by Denise Shardlow
People often ask me why I became a fashion designer. My reply: It's just something I've always done.
Ever since I was a kid, I made things. I drove my dad nuts with all the projects I had going on at once.
I would sneak into his tool box in the garage to "borrow" whatever I needed. His nick-name for
me - "Neesey-Neesey-thing-maker" - was often said with an exasperated edge.
Dad and I did my back-to-school clothes shopping together. We had similar approaches - if you like it,
buy it; if you don't, go to the next store. Once, after a few futile stops, he asked me what exactly
I was looking for. I answered in exquisite detail. He looked at me and said, "Kid, do you think you can make it?"
"Yep, of course I can," I replied.
He took me to the fabric store, showed me the basics of a sewing machine and told me,
"You're on your own." I never looked back.
