SVCTE Fashion Show

Last week my classmates and i put together a fashion show with the help of my teacher and i turned out amazing. The behind the scenes, well that was a lot to figure out, right before we walked out it was just nervousness and drinking tons of water. When it was time for us to change after our first collections, let me just say that i never did something so fast in my life but it was an awesome experience. my favorite part of the show was the second part, everyone just threw on a shirt and the ones who didn't wear a shirt wore an avante garde look. it definitely was risky just walking out in just a shirt and nothing but your underwear and bra or boxers underneath, but it worked out perfectly. i just remember after it was over, the audience loved it and i just went to my instructor and hugged her because she made it possible by pushing us outside of our comfort box of creativity and we got a great fashion show. The teamwork was just unbelievable with each group because there were some people staying after to finish the collections just the day before the show and it worked because everything was finished.

What are goals? Do you have any goals? Do you have short-term or long-term goals? Do you think goals are important - why or why not?

A goal is the object of a person's ambition or effort, on aim or desired result. I do have goals of my own and they are usually long term. i do think goals are important because they get you to the next step or next place you want to be.

Natural Fibers

Wild Rivers Wool Factory

Yesterday i learned that fiber turns into yarn and yarn turns into fabric. Fiber is the foundation of fabric; it is a small, hair like substance. Wool is a fiber with a hair like substance, but when you handle it, your hands will feel soft and oily from the lanolin. Lanolin is an oil that can be used in cosmetics, shampoo, and ointment. when i handled some of the wool that was given to me by my teacher for a wool spinning experience, i thought it was really great because while doing so i learned how women would spin the wool back when we didn't have certain machines. 

Net Dug Out

Silk is another natural fiber many designers love to use in garments. The silk that is used, it's made from the silk worms cocoons. The worm spins the silk around itself and to get the best silk they are fed mulberry leaves. The designers usually don't want broken silk strands so before they break through the cocoon, they are boiled and they end up dying. I think it's kind of sad, but that's how they want their fabric. If they would want some color in silk they would dye the fibers.

SPRING DENIM ESSENTIALS

One of the trends i liked were the denim dresses, skirts and jackets. I already planned to incorporate some of these things in to my spring clothing, i mean i do have a denim jacket already. If i were to buy a denim skirt or dress i would probably look at this thrift store i like to go to, it is where i got my jean jacket, the store is Fallas. i really do think i would achieve all of these looks just by asking family members for their old clothes because they would most likely have it and thrifting is way better than shopping somewhere that its only going to last for so long.

What is critical thinking? Why is critical thinking in the fashion world extremely important?

Pinterest

Critical thinking is the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment.
Critical thinking is extremely important in the fashion world because when something isn't right with a garment, or something just isn't right, you have to evaluate the problem and figure out what's wrong  and fix it quick because in the fashion world you are given deadlines. If you don't finish on time, it can be critical to your status as a fashion designer or just your job position in the industry. Sometimes it just can get really hard and overwhelming, but it takes patience and you just have to get through it even though it's a tough industry to follow.
