Tamara from Budapest

Tamara, Georgian, moved ten years ago with daughter and former boyfriend to Budapest
Tamara designs clothes
She doesn't like to do the dishes, she smokes
she likes to surrender to life
She doesn't have any privacy because her job is her life
In Georgia, communism was the boss
There has been a time when everybody lost their money
The poor, the rich, and the in-betweens
It was a period in which there were no classes, because everybody possessed the same : nothing
To become rich everybody had to start from scratch
Tamara wanted to design clothes
When, in Georgia, there were new shoes on the market, they were in every shop
Everybody had to wear these new shoes, no other choice
Very promising perspective for a fashion designer
She grabbed life by the tail and came with man and daughter to Budapest
Man has gone back to Georgia
Daughter is Sophie and 18 years and wears her mother's clothes and is a disarmingly honest young woman
Tamara started from scratch in Budapest because that is what one should do when being new somewhere
Her workroom is her bedroom
That explains her life
Working is sleeping is still working
She just finished the summercollection
The second one in the series of cheap collections
Before she designed exclusive expensive clothes that asked a lot of time
Now she makes exclusive affordable clothes and tries to keep it simple
She thinks a lot, she has a philosophy, a goal she wants to reach with her clothes and her life
Most people don't see that, most people only see the clothes, but they love them and can't explain why
That is the secret of a philosophy behind a concept
That is good art
You can't explain it, but it works
She doesn't want to make special clothes for a few rich ones
She doesn't want to make clothes for many people, made by many before her
She wants to make special clothes for many
Special, because she doesn't look at the trends
but at what she feels when summer is coming
or winter

When you look at someone, you have an idea of that person
When you talk with someone, your initial idea is being confirmed or corrected
When you talk with someone often, then you have so many ideas that they don't matter anymore
When you leave someone, you learned a lot of that someone
From some more than others

Tamara Barnoff. Fashion designer en good friend after two days
Time is of no importance in human relationships
