"Here I have a pair of jodhpurs. These are not really worn very much outside of like a horse farm but I love the look, the English country riding style, I love it, I love the look and honestly the pants, I have never found a pair that actually look decent because of the V out part and what they make the hips do but you know if you are a model you can get away with it. But I do love the look. Anything that is exaggerated in your drawings is always going to help to make your inspiration come across better. When you get down to reality and you are actually making the clothes, your clothes may not have as much umph and they may be more tailored to every day wear but in your drawings you don't ever want the buyer to look at it and miss what you are trying to say. You can't be present with every drawing that you do obviously unless you are going to have them in a little card with a recorded note and that would just get expensive so you want this to say I was going to for and English countryside feel, sophistication, that is what this goes for, it is obvious when you do it like that."
