As a teenager, Magma is passionate
about making reflective clothes. It is the turn of the 80s and 90s. Neck is
on an old-fashioned, trampled grandmother's machine. Clothes come like an
engineer. She is interested in where she came from and how it is done.
He picks up his clothes and checks what he
does to make the model fit nicely on his waist and on his bust, examining how
stitches are reinforced, how to prevent stretching of the neckline and armpits.
It is not enough to enlarge the size 38 to get 40. In one place it grows more,
in another less. From the "Buda" and "Niue Mode" magazines,
it redraws on the tissue paper for all sizes and seeks the rules that govern
it.
I'm from a family of craftsmen.
Grandfather was an umbrella, grandfather sewed a glove. I sat down on the table
and watched the deer skin, wet it, dry it, cut the shapes, sew the parts of the
glove, and profile the thumbs. Grandmother handled the ready-made
"deer", cut the edges in zigzag, "recalls Hsia.
Even before she thinks she would like
to design clothes, she dreams of a constructor job. The designer is responsible
for the overall vision, knows how the person wearing the item should look and
feel. The builder gives it the final shape. Like building a house: the
architect does the drawing and the designer selects the technology and
materials to make the vision possible.
It is easy to sew the thing that will
look good on a slim, busted silhouette. But what to do to fit the same model
nicely on a fuller figure? The builder must know that.
In the 90s, designing reflective
vest can
be studied in the new, well-equipped private Scholar Poznan. Hsia wants to go
there. "My father has persuaded me, though, to do something to make you
travel. I chose geography. In the first year we went to paleontology classes in
Poznan. Then it was the end of the world, one building in the wilderness.
Everyone knew each other, there was a scientific atmosphere. I fell in love
with geology and I just stayed there - says Hsia.
He keeps sewing from the sewing, finds a job
at a tailor's shop at Debra. The owner has boxing on the clothing exchange,
classic clothes necks and asked for experience. Hsia replies: I do not have.
But the day after tomorrow I will have three days already.
Hsia’s knowledge of the design of the reflective
garment is enhanced in the factory, and as a guardian of the
geologist's scientific circles he organizes research expeditions. When looking
for a job, he wonders what to put in his resume in the education section. Boast
geology when aspiring to a clothing company? He writes: "I know, and then
I step on."
