Can clothing become a disposable disaster?

Wanelo
In the article It's the Second Dirtiest Thing in the World—And You’re Wearing It , i read that it is the second largest polluter in the world, and the first one is oil. Even though we need to wear clothes, we have a style and we want all the fashion trends fast, it sucks but it is the truth. The fashion industry can get nasty because of how it can effect the environment, in a bad way. Eileen fisher was right by saying that "it's a really nasty business ... it's a mess" like i said before it is because we always throw away clothes that we don't want. I do feel like a lot more designers should speak out more and find alternate ways to conduct business.

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.

History of Fashion

fashion.com
pinterest board - 1950's  my favorite clothing era is the 1950's, and you can take a look at the link for my Pinterest board. The reason i like the clothing for this era is the style. One particular style i love is the pin-up rockabilly. I know sometimes everyone hates a history lesson but i just love this era so much that maybe i should throw in some history. Princess Elizabeth became Queen πŸ‘ΈπŸ‘‘ at the age of 25 in 1951. The first Playboy Magazine was published in 1953. Rosa parks refuses to give up her seat on the bus in 1955. The civil rights movement, Dangers of the garrison state, balance of trade and more happened during this time that were social, political and economic. I feel like these events influenced the fashion during this era by making everyone feel confident and a bit more equal.

What is a mood board? How did creating a mood board help your group to define your collection?

Laura Rojas Gomez - blogger
This mood board i'm showing you is not my groups board, but it is similar to the one we made. A mood board could be anything that you are designing, in this case we are using mood boards for fashion. The mood board for us is a collection we have in mind and the aesthetic we decided on was sinister, gothic, seductive, American horror story (AHS), and lady gaga. My groups mood board helped define our collection because we already knew what we wanted and we stuck to our theme, for most people when they create a mood board, they don't always stick to it because they grab whatever they like instead of grabbing what they need for their theme. So i feel our mood board did help us in the long run because it could have looked like this in the end.

Honestly, i am just glad that our mood board didn't turn out to be soft and girly, and it turned out exactly how we wanted it.

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.

girls who wear boy clothes, boys who wear girl clothes

charbroil gas grill covers
People who say girls can't wear boy clothes and boys can't wear girl clothes are complete fools. I'm sorry for those who believe that it's wrong, but welcome to the new world because this is our generation and it is time we take a stand in what we believe and do what makes us comfortable. I am a girl and i love wearing boy clothes from time to time, and today is one of those days, in the very last photo i am wearing a guys t-shirt and i love it. It isn't wrong at all to wear the opposite sex clothes, we should be able to wear what we feel comfortable in, especially right now because we are going through an important time of our lives to prove we are all equal. I guess what i am trying to say is that we all should be helping each other instead of breaking us down. I hope from everyone reading this post you would be able to understand we are human beings that should be treated as equal and support each other.
