Today, my class had a guest speaker, Jill Naughton, come in and talk about the private school Johnson & Wales College. You can find this college located in Providence, North Carolina, Denver and Charlotte. JWU has a different education than other schools, but i am sure there are similar places that teach the same way, but JWU has a hands on education. Johnson & Wales was opened up in 1914 and it has 44 programs, in 18 countries. there are 3,000 campus sites that you can find. You can find many different programs and majors at this college it is just awesome. If you are a junior in high school like i am, you will still be able to apply now, and when you apply they will grant you a scholarship.

Black Friday
"Black Friday" wasn't originally for the sales after thanksgiving. It was on September 24, 1869 when the financial crisis happened,the U.S. gold market crashed. Two financiers, Jay Gould and Jim Fisk worked together and bought as much gold and hoped to bring up the price an d get some profit out of it. They didn't realize that it would finally unravel and send the stock market into a free fall and everyone being left with bankruptcy. The story we hear now for "Black Friday" is the most inaccurate version but it's always good to learn something new. I honestly think that back then it was a bad thing considering the history behind it, but now i don't think it is, sometimes it can become chaotic and dangerous which i think is kind of scary because there are some teenagers or children out that late and they can get hurt. there were a few times i was involved in black friday but i personally don't like it.

Eco Friendly Clothing
I think fashion houses are behind on sustainability because they think we want the latest trends now and fast and they weren't ready for change just yet because they are afraid it wont succeed. In the article i read, it says most people would rather buy a $15 shirt instead of a $46 shirt because its way to expensive when we can get a shirt just like that. I honestly don't think it will ever be solved as a problem because sustainability scares some of the big fashion houses, probably because they don't think it successful like i said before.🏪💰 The fashion houses probably don't want to spend more money then they already do.

What is Quality Assurance? What does a quality inspector do? Why is it important to have standards of Quality Assurance?
Quality Assurance is the maintenance of the desired level of quality in the garment, each step you pay close attention for the process of delivery. The quality assurance inspectors look at the seam allowance, edge stitch, and the serging. It's really important for companies to have standards of quality assurance because it is easier to follow and you can adjust it later on.

fashion has to break the acceptable rules of taste in order to redefine it? Do you agree that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"
![]() |
http://www.standard.co.uk |
I think sometimes fashion has to break fashion to redefine the definition of it. The fashion designers that are behind the change for vulgar fashion are actually really smart because vulgarity shouldn't be a problem. I believe that fashion is in the beauty of our eyes because fashion is just every where and obviously we can't walk around naked. Vulgar fashion is just offensive in many ways but i actually kinda like that fashion week is accepting vulgar clothes because that means others will wear it and win't get criticized for it.

Cover Girl's first male ambassador
Cover girl is a big part of the cosmetic industry because it is one of the go to makeup suppliers. The fact that this kid, Charles who is only 17 became male ambassador for cover girl is just amazing. I read some of the comments at the bottom of the blog, and it disgusts me how judgmental society is because others were shaming him for actually wearing makeup and being on cover girl. Charles is doing exactly one thing he wants to do, that is to just inspire others and say "hey makeup isn't just for girls" and if you go back in history Egyptians wore it for years. He became successful at the age of 17 and it is just amazing.

Jobs in the fashion industry
www.submerge.tv |
A fashion job to consider is a fashion photographer, also known as a commercial photographer. Their job is to take pictures of the garments and accessories that an individual company designed and what the model is wearing. A fashion photographer earns between $20,000 and $45,000 a year but if you are just starting out and have a little less experience you earn as much as $16,000 a year, but if you are experienced you earn as much as $65,000. For self employed photographers you need a portfolio of your camera skills and you need to show proof of technical skills, if i were to choose this job i would show proof by sayin i went to SVCTE and took photo but i am taking fashion.

Do you think that the setting of the show with the computers, robots, and retro vibe was intended to bring the brand to a younger audience? Why or why not?
While i was looking at chanels 2017 ready to wear spring collection, i felt like they were trying to bring in the younger audience because of the choice of colors and style of garments and accessories. The hats are definitely a dead ringer for trying to bring in that young audience because who doesn't wear hats when you are a teenager, even girls like to wear them. The black dress is the best style that they have chosen for the trend because i feel like girls are going to be wearing that particular style in different colors to. The color scheme just in general for this show is just so amazing because they are the only colors most teenagers wear, i just think they hit their audience that they want spot on.

ELIE SAAB
For Paris Fashion Week i chose to watch Elie Saab's fashion show live on http://fashionweekonline.com/paris, so if you want to go check it out click on the link. I feel like her style is fit for what will actually be worn than what won't be worn because if you pay attention to other designers they tend to make these crazy things which isn't a bad thing but they just won't be worn. i give the designers so much credit because now that i am in a fashion class, i see how much time and effort they put into these and yes most of their pieces will not make it into the trends but they will be worn for something. Elie saab's style is just so chic and fresh, it also has that sense of trendy feel going on because the patterns, colors and fabric she uses will catch a lot of attention especially with the teenagers.

sewing techniques & garment time
I have learned different sewing techniques for hand sewing and machine sewing. One of the techniques i learned for the machine is seam allowance, that is very important because when you are making garments or other stuff, someone will want a certain seam. The different measurements on the machine are 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1 1/4, and these other measurements are not on the machine and they are 5/8, 7/8 so you have to use a piece of tape to mark where it is so you don't mess up. Other techniques i know are for hand sewing and they are invisible slip stitch and whip stitch also herringbone stitch. All of these you are going to use for making garments and this takes time, so if you ever decide to try and make something you have to have the patience to learn the techniques and if you mess up you can't get angry because it will show in your work. Now that i know how long it takes to learn and make things i respect the fashion industry a lot more.

london fashion week
While i was watching the London fashion show i observed some of the clothing and i noticed some trends going on. The most i have seen in the show was a faux leather/fur jacket for both men and women. I also seen longer sleeves then usual and i know that is becoming a trend soon. The jumpers are becoming very popular because it is fall and since teenagers are always making things trendy we make them look fashionable.
In this picture of Niall Horan, he is wearing a jumper/sweatshirt. This is probably one of the main reasons why girls today wear jumpers, because of one direction. also because it looks very cute and adorable on him so we buy things like that because we want to be like them and be cute.

community service
Community service is important because it helps you gain skills such as collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking. When i was on the field trip to go to the annual quilt show in Morgan hill, you were always doing something. yeah we got breaks but we were really busy helping out, i think it was a good thing because it taught us how to think fast (critical thinking) when we had to figure out to set something up when it didn't work the first time. Communication is also one of the skills we needed to have to because we are always moving and we might need something so we really need to be listening which is what i did on the field trip. Collaboration is key to most things and that is the main thing we used before going to the field trip, to get the supplies we needed on to the bus we all had to work together because it was a lot of stuff and some of it was really heavy.

Why have T-Shirts been popular styles with teens for a very long time? Do you think this will change anytime soon?
T-shirts have been popular since the 1930's when soldiers wore them as outer wear and took them home. teens everywhere noticed and started wearing them.t-shirts now are still very popular because of the designs and different styles they have. companies have been using the clothing as an advertisement for awhile even bands and singers use the t-shirt. i don't think this will change anytime soon because the t-shirt is a big part of everyone's fashion sense and it is used and worn all the time.

What is avant-garde fashion? Why do you think many celebrities dress in avant-garde fashions" What celebrity behaviors support your thinking?
fashionallure.com |
avant-garde fashion was created in the 1920's in japan. it is created with a strsight geometric or shapeless sihlouette. avant-garde describes the cutting-edge, innovative and extragavent flow in fashion. It doesn't fit genral accepted standards. i think that celebrities dress in avant-garde fashion because they want to be different from other celebrities. rihanna actually wore an avant-garde dress to the 2009 americas music awards.

How do you feel about what you read? Do you think there is room for different types of models on the runway? Why or why not? Do you think the runway at NYFW is a good place to bring awareness to global issues? Why or why not?
what i read i feel like NYFW did something amazing by letting Reshma Quereshi still be in the runway fashion show after her accident. i really think there is room for other types of models on the runway because i feel like there aren't different body figures for every time a model comes out, they are all the same size and i just would like to see different body shapes instead of the stereotypical slim bodies. i think NYFW can be a good place to bring awareness for global issues because almost everyone is watching and if most of the population is watching then it spreads to the rest of the population.

What is a fashion classic?
a fashion classic is were a style will never actually go out of style. like the trench coat she is wearing is a classic because its been worn for a really long time and its still being worn today except with different designs and colors. another one of fashions classics are tuxedos. they have always been in fashion and still are in fashion, yes they have changed over time as you see here with harry styles tuxedo; but the basic tuxedo is still in fashion.
