As of today, our son Konrad, has officially joined the ranks of school-goers everywhere. We took a special trip to Schoolbells to buy the very uninspired (I apologize to the designers) school uniform he's required to wear at the private school he attends.
I mean, surely duckcloth can be woven into colors other than blue and khaki, right? Just sayin'...
The crazy thing is, he absolutely loves it! Go figure...
Such a symbolic day...
the first of many steps he'll take in walking away from me as we (hopefully) raise him to become more and more responsibly independent.
Look at that face!!!
I doubt I'll ever be a designer for a uniform company, but if I ever did get to design a line, I for sure be doing some crazy stuff for the kids.
These are some uniform sketches from my own sketch-book. Please keep in mind that I am NOT an artist and sketching has never been a part of my design process (it's really more organic for me), but I still keep trying to draw...
So, while I appreciate uniforms for the money I'll save in play clothes, I guess I'll always be dreaming of a school where the children look more like they walked out of a crewcuts ad than a classroom.
What about you? Do you love uniforms or hate them?
Would you love them more if they were actually cute?
