RANDOM MEMORIES

RANDOM MEMORIES

●

When I began my first blog it was intended to publish my fabric and fashion design work since for some reason unknown to me, the US fashion press deleted my existance in American fashion history, and all I had achieved from 1960 until 1973 was erased.

●

I believe it was because I had been financially backed by Rebekka Harkness and successfully created an excellent haute couture collection that I presented at the Hotel Ctillon in Paris among thebfashion greats during fashion week in January 1968 and challenged Yves Saint Laurent as his equal or superceded him artistically

●

Although I continued designing fabrics for Pierre Godard of Madison Fabrics in NYC, Como, Italy and Lyon, France, the contract he had me sign prevented me from designing clothes.

●

I suspect it was Eugenia Sheppard ordered bt John Fairchild and Eleanor Lambert that I be removed from the haute couture but only allowed to design fabrics.  

●

Then in 1973 Godard exhausted my out put and dropped me claiming I was dead, then leaving me without any connections with the fashion industry

●

I managed to create two collections for James Galanos, the Greek in 1968 and my last, the Tibetan in 1976

●

My name was never published by the press again and all my work locked in the archives of the fashion press

●

No one in the industry would buy or even look at my new designs so they piled up in my Vermont studios where they now have been looted

●

I had never worked with any computer design soft ware not believing it better than what I was capable of doing as an artist

●

The computer created designers out of anyone that knew computer artificial intelligence but decades later I discovered one could create a personal blog spot and post photos and information as a fashion press historian so I created ny first blogspot writing as much of my past history and posted photos of my work with the idea that perhaps someone in fashion would rediscovery me andbrespond

●

With various changes going on with FaceBook and Google I lost my connecting email addresses and was prevented adding to my original blogspot but it continues today permanently existing on the internet

●

After a few years a few people discovered it and their contributions let to others so finally my design history was being restored

●

Much that I had published I felt now to negative so I deleted much but added information as best I could in an encyclopedic  form before being locked out

●

It wasn't until around 2020 when I was starting a new life in Burma that I began this Yusupov-Luksiev Blogspot now have much genealogical information about my Brish mother and Russian father and now continue with memoirs collecting info under my auto biographical document entitled

●

 STRIKING WITH THE SWORD OF HEAVEN

●

This blog is not so much for sharing information publically but something important for me to document my life for my own benefit in recording my ecperiences, interests, memories abpnd spiritual understanding

●

Memories from my earliest child hood now I can preserve since I can remember much from having first been born and how my life was shaped by events as well as how my mother and father guided men to become free and independent from any structural government or legal impediments and therefore became an individual capable of deciding on my own what is good, the truth and right from wrong
