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 is critical thinking? Why is critical thinking in the fashion world extremely important?
![]() |
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.

How is your group's collection like a story? How do the pieces complement each other? Why would your customer's want to put themselves in the middle of your story?
The collection my group is doing is like a story because its telling the audience that you can be tough, seductive and sinister. The pieces compliment each other by having the same feel towards it, also it has the some of the same elements. I feel like our customers would want to put themselves in our story because it is a story to be told and to be confident, mysterious and seductive.

RECYCLED FASHION - Savers Trip
So, yesterday my class went on a trip to SAVERS, the reason we went there was to buy different garments as our materials and some unconventional items as props to use for our four garments that we will be making. the reason we are making four garments would be because we are having a fashion show here at my school. while my class got to go to SAVERS, we got to ask the manager some questions, the question i asked was "how much of what doesn't get sold, goes?" and i learned that 40% of the stuff gets shipped out to warehouses in LA and Pheonix, Arizona. The items we got for my groups project were a porclain doll, barbie doll, red candle, silver plater, gold rope, a book (i will not name the book for certain reasons), some lingerie for the lace, red velvet, black velvet, some clothing with mesh, cross necklaces, red leather boots, and some other stuff thats awesome and everything we got was under $150. its a good thing coming out of this would be recycling used clothes.

Paco Rabanne | Fall Winter 2017/2018
By S |
I chose to watch this fashion show because i was interested in what was to come in fall 2017/2018. A few of the garments caught my attention and i wanted to share this fashion show in particular because the garments are very interesting. Paco Rabanne is the designer and he is new to me, his style and theme caught my eyes and got me hooked. The theme i am getting from this collection is very futuristic. Personally i wouldn't try to wear the garments myself because it's not me, but his collection is very intriguing.

Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana is a luxury Italian fashion house formed by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in 1982. It became one of Italy's most successful ready-to-wear companies. If you watch this 22 minute long video, you will see the garments, and get a feel of how a catwalk should be, in my opinion i love the look that Dolce & Gabbana are going for. They have a theme that i love for the fall winter fashion week, its just amazing. the structure of the garments are just awesome, they have a royal theme going on and i just love it.

Grammy Fashion 2017

What surprised me on the red carpet at the Grammy's was Joy Villa's "Make America great again" dress. I honestly think joy as a celebrity, she shouldn't have worn that dress because she is a role model in so many people's eyes and now she wore that dress, she looks like she is all for trump and i really think she should have made a dress change before she walked out of her house.but enough of the "make america great again" part, the dress itself is nicely fitted but the halter top isn't flattering and the mermaid poof isn't nice either but it does have great volume and structure in that specific part.

Camila Cabello wore my favorite dress because its princess like, flowy, it has structure and a little bit of texture, even the drop waist is flattering. The color is great on her, the bodice is great to i love it, the dress fits well and looks great on her.
I think the worst dressed was girl crush, the pink bandeau is cute but the skirt of gumballs or balloons is not cute or flattering to the figure. It does have structure, but to much volume and it has an umpire waistline which cuts off the figure. I feel like the oscars fashion is more fancy and formal than anything and the grammys is just fancy and fun. so i think celebrities are willing to take a risk because they want to show that you can be you and dont care about others thoughts.

Why do you think color is so important in fashion?
I think that color is important in fashion because color choices say a lot about the image we are trying to portray, and how we feel about ourselves. Color also has an impact on your body shape, weight, your emotions and others emotions. There is a catch with color in fashion though, it has to be appropriate for the location, your age, occasion, time of year and your natural coloring. An example of this would be like wearing a red jacket and a white shirt to a business meeting would portray confidence.

What are "norms" ? why is it so important for organizations or group to have a set of "norms" by which they function?
"Norms" are informal guidelines about what is considered normal
social behavior in a particular group. I think it is important that in a certain group there are "norms" because that is just how it is going to work. But, the fashion "norms" that others see, they hate it and change it. The people who are breaking the fashion "norms" i love them for it because we are changing everything and its awesome.

sustainable fashion
PACT is a fashion brand that uses non-GMO, organic cotton and non-toxic dyes to produce their clothing and i find that very relieving because that is ethical and sustainable fashion and something that i would love to wear and the best part is that it's affordable to. when it comes to sustainable apparel, that makes a statement.

dogs and clothes
We aren't the only ones who can wear clothes. Dogs can wear clothing to and this cute little dog is wearing a panda halloween costume. This video has showed up on social media about 2 months ago and since then it has gotten 194,410 views on youtube and its awesome because of how cute and funny it is. this video just explains it all. i still can't believe that clothes make dogs happy to.

The Golden Globe's Fashion
fashionista.com |
Carrie Underwood in Iris Serban, her dress is my least favorite out of every dress that was worn. It's a really pretty color , the skirt is nice but the top is just woah and not the good kind of woah, i feel like if it were a different and subtle design on the top and some jewelry i would see a better dress.
the color that i seen most was white, one of the styles that were seen on the red carpet the most were the deep v-plunge, and to be honest i don't think there was a lack of jewelry or to much of it because the style of the dresses or the bling on the dresses were just enough. The only surprise on the red carpet was the yellow.

Is It Any Surprise That at 5, Blue Ivy Is a Style Star?
www.vogue.com |
I don't see it as a surprise at all because beyonce and jay-z are blue ivy's parents and they have great taste in clothing. As blue grows up and is put into these clothes, she starts to love the clothes and they become her because of her personality. "Her style" actually fits her, the clothing is just really great at the same time because she wears whats in right now and she became a fashion icon just at 5.

New Year's Resolution
New year's is always about having resolutions, and every year we make new ones maybe because we realized we need to work on something that we realized the last year or because we know we didn't want to work on the old since it wasn't possible to fix. This year i made a resolution to just get through my junior year and to not get into trouble because freshman and sophomore year were not the greatest of times. In this class i'm taking i would like to challenge myself to be more focused on my work but also make new friends and be open to new ideas. I think i can accomplish these just by listening to what others have to say talking to others and getting straight on task.
