Fairytale Fashion

Diana Eng: As a fashion designer who works with science and technology, I've learned about some really amazing things. I've had some great experiences as a designer: sitting front row at fashion week, working at various fashion companies, researching at the University of Bath Mechanical Engineering Dept., being a designer on Project Runway, working in Victoriai's Secret Research and Development department, and co-founding NYC Resistor hacker group. When I was a little girl, I wish that my friends and I knew about some of the things I know today. We would have loved to play with them. Dress-up with super sparkling LED's. Imagining worlds made of deployable structures. I want to share all of the neat things I've learned, because no matter what your age, science and technology are always fun to play with.

You may not be able to sew or solder or draft a pattern or program a microcontroller. But that's okay because Fairytale Fashion is about imagining the possibilities. I will be trying my best to make them happen.

Fairytale Fashion is produced with the support of Eyebeam.

Dealing With It.

I grew up in an environment where my parents worked in social services, Mom was a grade school teacher and Dad was a United Methodist minister. What most people do not understand is that being a minister’s child entailed a lot of grace, until I was about 17 years old every Sunday was spent in church and my weeks revolved around church activities and school activities; basically serving the needs of others, listening, and sharing my talents. This was an education for me, about dealing with people even before I went to Drexel University. Although I was deemed intellectually gifted, I had no desire to really use it other than for creative purposes. My goal was always marriage-children-family, like a normal young woman. My parents just always wanted me to have whatever I wanted in life and did their best to help me achieve life goals.



When I went to college I started out as a design and merchandising major; however was thoroughly disappointed with the lack of return or good grades for my efforts put forth, as the major is incredibly subjective. I had no desire to have a college major be a “labor of love”. For example, during my first year, I had a design project that I worked on for many hours that was torn up and thrown in the trash by a professor. I am not a slacker and do not do things gradually, I put forth 150% of an effort in all I have done personally and professionally and expect to be appreciated for it, my value of getting into something 200% and than dealing with the details no matter how long it takes or this is my character. To me if you put forth an effort it is correlated to a meaningful result and life, not a guessing game unacceptable. I will not even address the unconscionable.



I never wanted to go to classes in the design school again because of this treatment. It bothered me that there was not a fair measure in the fashion and design world. I trudged through the major for a little over a year switched to psychology major and decided psychology was way too esoteric for me.



I had math and accounting classes required with the design and merchandising major where I excelled and decided it was smart to change majors. I had the opportunity to economically benefit, if necessary, from my natural skills. Also, it was a peer group that I was more comfortable with, and my sorority-Delta Zeta valued good grades. Accounting was the major, whereby I could achieve the results. It also takes a lot of intelligence and many people can’t even make it through Accounting 101 let alone finish the major and pass the Certified Public Accountant Exam.



I chose a different path from the way I was raised and went into business, and have my own perspective on dealing with life’s issues; in addition, because of love, I have also been standing on my own on this one. I love what I have, and would not change a thing. My values: I don’t believe in too much…that’s people without a heart!! And in a professional sense, people without skills!!

Endeavors and Time Management;Life Found Me BC I Had Goals of Family

Endeavors and Time Management.

I grew up going to church every Sunday in a time when it was a more formal dress code.
In addition sometimes I would be awake as early as 4:00 am to 5:00 am in the morning in high school to do my hair because I set my hair (in curlers), just because I was me being me!!! At college and work I used to do hot rollers, and /or French twisted my hair when I was traveling or did the many creative styles. My grandma and several relatives were in the “beauty salon” business, so it was just part of my life to take this time. I also did some modeling classes at John Casablancas and Barbizon in high school and college, and would have liked a fast track to stay interested.

With starting out as a fashion design and merchandising major in college (than taking up Accounting because it was more lucrative and I posted high grades at it), it was like the way you put yourself together really mattered, so I know a lot about this stuff.

Also with college and being in a sorority there were social obligations / studying with the organization practically every night, this was like a pure balancing act, because you had to maintain grades and stay out till sometimes 2:00 am or later in the morning, it’s called time management. I got to the point in college, where I was so planned out with my academics that sometimes the night before a final I was out with sorority sisters, and still got “A”s, because I planned my studying through iterations throughout the term and had discipline and focus. The tactics were helpful of course with future endeavors, and when you obtain professional technical skills you can do this…, which is why I always suggest folks taking up a technical profession that translates quickly after college.

I can go on and on about why Corporate Management / Internal Audit / Accounting at a publicly traded company is a great profession. I must mention that to achieve these credentials weekends and evenings are spent achieving goals and / or traveling for sometimes many years or possibly the duration of work, and most people’s motivation deals with family and future plans as opposed to a passion. This is self-explanatory; as dealing with numbers, people, and results are challenging (especially globally) and it must be reflected in compensation. And “to boot”, in terms of demeanor-to put yourself together in a professional, yet memorable way with impossible skills is where you can really take it to the next level. Personally, which is most important, I like the acknowledgement and am in no way "camera shy"-same goes for how I conducted myself professionally!!!


Bottom Line: these endeavors were a lot of work considering I was focused on good grades, a future / family, and good stuff!!! It’s how life found me!! I was always a leader, not much of a follower!!!



Note About Photo: 10/7/2011-Go Phillies!! Watching game at home with Dad, can't wait for my own house and my own cake!! Nostalgia: My High School Graduation Party when I was 17, at the time in the Philadelphia suburbs with classmates/church folks, thanks to the parents. Fashioning jewelry I made, and totally loving my look. I enjoyed to put all of my outfits/look together and even borrowed some of Mom's jewelry to finish off the look. I used to spend weekends doing my hair and makeup, competing at swimming, and going to church, because I was not allowed to do much. Photo scanned from original.

Cecilia St - Temple Bar [Dublin-239]

Image by infomatique
Temple Bar has two identities in that during the day it is "family friendly" but at night it is not suitable for children. Personally, while I live near the area I do my best to avoid it at night especially as Tante Zoes (my favorite restaurant) has closed.

Temple Bar located on the south bank of the River Liffey in central Dublin. Unlike the areas surrounding it, Temple Bar has preserved its medieval street pattern, with many narrow cobbled streets. It is promoted as "Dublin's cultural quarter" and has a lively nightlife that is popular with tourists.

The area is the location of many Irish cultural institutions, including the Irish Photography Centre (incorporating the Dublin Institute of Photography, the National Photographic Archives and the Gallery of Photography), the Ark Children's Cultural Centre, the Irish Film Institute, incorporating the Irish Film Archive, the Temple Bar Music Centre, the Arthouse Multimedia Centre, Temple Bar Gallery and Studio, the Project Arts Centre, the Gaiety School of Acting, IBAT College Dublin, as well as the Irish Stock Exchange and the Central Bank of Ireland. [Note: this list changes on a regular basis and some mentioned above may no longer exist]

After dark, the area is a major centre for nightlife, with many tourist-focused nightclubs, restaurants and bars. Pubs in the area include The Porterhouse, the Oliver St. John Gogarty, the Turk's Head, the Temple Bar, Czech Inn (in the former Isolde's Tower), the Quays Bar, the Foggy Dew, Eamonn Doran's and the Purty Kitchen(formerly Bad Bobs).

Two squares have been renovated in recent years — Meetinghouse Square and the central Temple Bar Square. The Temple Bar Book Market is held on Saturdays and Sundays in Temple Bar Square.

Meetinghouse Square, which takes its name from the nearby Quaker Meeting House, is used for outdoor film screenings in the summer months. Since summer 2004, Meetinghouse Square is also home to the Speaker's Square project (an area of Public speaking) and to the Temple Bar Food Market every Saturday.

The Cow's Lane Market is a fashion and design market which takes place on Cow's Lane every Saturday.
