Interview for WouldYouRockThis.com by Fashion HardDrive
Want some honest feedback about how talented you are as an illustrator? Would You Rock This (WYRT) has answered your prayers! It’s a great way to evaluate at what level you are at when it comes to fashion illustrations or if your fashion designs are even worth pursuing. WYRT was recently founded by Brandon Graham, Elizabeth Willse, and Kristen Reilly in the hopes that it will be an avenue for fashion students to get real feedback about the popularity of their designs. I had the opportunity to interview these young entrepreneurs about what lead them to WYRT.
1. Who came up with Would You Rock This and what sparked the idea?
Brandon: I came up with WYRT. What sparked the idea? Would you believe, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? I remember as a kid drawing endless pictures of the cartoon characters in my notebook. Donatello was my favorite. When I showed my drawings to my mom and grade school teacher, they showered me with compliments.
“Would it still be good if I were 21?” I asked.
“Well, no,” said my mom. “but you still have a lot to learn, so that’s okay.”
Then, as I began my fashion studies, I showed my designs to friends and family. They loved my designs because they loved me. When you’re starting out I realized it’s hard to get the kind of honest feedback that would tell you how you’re doing in the industry. Solving that problem led me to creating WYRT.
