Diversifying my video making skills - Screensharing
Breakthrough in versatility for video editing and recording slide deck from Canva template over Loom from a Zoom call
I cheekily presented a slide deck I’d made in Canva from a template and uploaded my own images and found it on Lucy Griffith’s archives. Loom allows you to share links to videos in Loom, which is really useful for quickly showing someone how to do something. That is something I have an interest in doing. Screensharing is something I’ve been trying to do since 2020 when I signed up to Test.io to…

Day 28: Happy National Poetry Month!
It’s almost the end of National Poetry Month. I’ve ended up with almost fifty pages of poetry! I finished my little epic “Where the Sidewalk Ends”, which means I’ll start putting together the book next month. it will have many of the poems I’ve written here in it. I’ve nearly figured out how to illustrate it, too. I finished the cover the other day. Not to mention, I broke out of my writing…

DVF - Diane Von Furstenburg
Diane Von Furstenburg Portrait in store
Born on December 31st, 1946, Diane Von Furstenburg is a Belgium-born designer that is most well known for her creation of the iconic wrap dresses.
Diane bloomed in the fashion industry as a model, then found her passion in designing. Starting off with basic items, Diane designed t-shirts, shirt dresses, etc. She then created the wrap dress which she debuted with in 1974. Known for their chic look and convenience, to say the least, the wrap dress was a hit! As more women were entering the workforce, it was acceptable for women to start wearing trousers for functional reasons. However, the wrap dress was extremely functional, comfortable, and fashionable. Due to these pros, Diane sold over 5 million wrap dresses in the first few years after its debut.
Diane Von Furstenburg became a role model to many women. Whom looked at Diane for inspiration for fashion related business and even non-fashion related business.

Dress on display in store
The Diane Von Furstenburg store located on Washington st, NYC, had so many iconic dresses and art works on display. As soon as you step foot into the store, you are greeted with so many pieces of art, as well as, a room on the side for live poetry. Even the stairs leading to the second floor of the store was a work of art itself.
Stairs leading to the second floor of the store
Extremely colorful and abstract stairs with neon lights and art pieces posted on the walls. Additionally, inside the store, there was a photo booth for anyone to stop by and take pictures. The mirrors and displays inside were unbeatable.

There was a very interesting thing in the DVF store that I would have never expected.
Projector projecting Virtual Fashion
It was very interesting to see snippets of these virtual fashion shows that were being projecting inside of the store. There was an employee monitoring the projectors and changing up the clips from time to time.
I really enjoyed my visit at the DVF store. There was so much that caught my eye and made me think,
"I would love this in my room..."
From the dresses on the mannequins to the works of art posted on the wall, everything was so unique and aesthetically pleasing. Thinking my visit would only last a few minutes, I was prepared to snap a few shots and head out, but I stayed in the store for about 20 minutes just really appreciating the layout and the art that the DVF store is.
I would love to visit again to try out the photo booth, or maybe treat myself to an iconic Diane Von Furstenburg wrap dress one day.
