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.

Halloween Fashion

Pinterest
I celebrate Halloween every year, this year i'm going to dress up like i always have. last year i was batman and a prisoner, in my freshman year i was a nerd. i haven't exactly chose a costume yet but i think i'm going to be a cat because cats are cute and it really is a last minute thing, don't judge me because we all have been in this situation where we procrastinate lol. I remember in my freshman year i didn't have a costume so i threw together a black skirt, black and gray flannel, pink plaid socks, black vans and fake glasses with white tape in the middle i even added freckles and curled my hair. so if i had some advice for a diy costume look to see what you have in your closet and go buy what you need if your missing something that isn't really expensive. I think halloween is the time to express who you really are s  go buy that costume that represents you or be creative and make your own costume.

Illegal child labor

www.bbc.com
Fashion houses in Turkey use children for child labor and were told if they didn't work they couldn't live. the crew that went to turkey talked to some children and were told that they want to go to school but can't because they have no choice. The parents never wanted their children to work but they were given no choice and they are scared for their children. when they were inside the factories they found out that when the auditers come, they hide the children so they don't get shut down and this will go on forever because the brands that get the clothes will never get suspicous.

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.

fashion through lens

Fashion has been connected to photography for a very long time, and where you see photos is important. Social media is a big part in fashion photography and the only place to influence others in choosing a style they like. Most people like to choose what they wear only to feel like they are walking a runway or just to feel comfortable with their own style but feel fashionable at the same time.

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.

 Another job you could find in the fashion industry is obviously a designer. a fashion designer also known as an accessory designer (depending on the type of product) they design new accessories and garments. they are responsible for analyzing every detail. a fashion designer earns around $40,000 to $90,000 a year. The most you need for education is a high school diploma or a GED.

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.

What are hems? How can they affect a garment's appearance?

www.themodestman.com
Hems are like the edge of a piece of cloth or clothing that has been turned under and sewn. A hem can effect a garment a lot, lets say that you are trying to make a pair of pants and you don't hem the bottom of them they can look like the right side of the picture and if they are hemmed they will look like the left side. Hemming is really important because it can secure the bottom and it will look nicer.
