After graduating from.

Helen LeFeaux’s school of
design in September, 1982,
Fawkes realized that break-
ing into the field of designing
was going to take a lot of
hard work. She emphasizes
that design school can’t teach
a person to design but that it
must come from within.

**it’s not all glamor. | went
through that. For people who
say ‘It’s a piece of cake,’
they’re not being realistic. If
you respect people you work
with, then they'll help you
when you need them.’’

During the design school
training, Fawkes said she
would ‘‘eat, breath and sleep
fashion.”” And when = she
graduated, it was ‘‘a culture
shock.

“After reality hits, you
realize the fabrics aren't
cheap, so you learn to buy
the mght amounts in the right
seasons. With fashion shows
you're always deciding which
to take and which to tum
down. You have to be selec-
tive about clients. People

want deals, but you have to.

cover costs. I’m a business
woman.”’

caught on quickly for her two
years in the business. She
knows what she wants to
achieve from her designing,
and that is ‘‘beautiful clothes
for men and women, that
look good, have quality and
are affordable."’ She con-
siders herself a West Coast
designer, whose styles are
‘‘simple, elegant and contem-
porary."’ And her favorite
fabrics to work with are cot-
tons, silks and hghtweight
wools.

About making a name for
hersclf, Fawkes says, “‘! plan
on taking my ime to become
well-known,” but she's well
on her way
