Clothing Recollection

This was my 2nd year in clothing construction and my 7th year in girls buymanship. If you know me good enough you would know that I don’t dress up often so when I do it must be a special occasion. During buymanship and clothing construction I am able to dress up some and as much as I want to. These last 2 years I have enjoyed making something that I can use quite frequently in clothing construction, doing so makes me feel good about myself and what I've done.

There were times when women were restricted to wear certain garments like a skirt that does not go past the knee, pants, and anything men considered sexy. Through trials and tribulations women have defied all odds with fashion. When I think of fashion I think of self-expression, thanks to the women before me. One woman who fully inspired my fashion sense, is Betsey Johnson. With her fun, unique, and colorful fashion lines, she helped me to find my style. She is also a huge inspiration to me, as a fashion designer.

throughout my life. I open up my backpack to see what I packed. I see 8 outfits of clothes, my

I would recommend that CCL create a policy regarding Accounts Receivables immediately. The method for determining the bad debt amount should be determined by CCL management. Methods such a percentage of sales or a percentage of Account Receivables can be used. Whichever method is chosen, it should be consistent from year to year and the amount should be reasonable.

The fashion industry is rapidly growing and constantly generating new fashion trends almost weekly. Fashion for some may seem ridiculous and unnecessary; but fashion is not just a meaningless usage of article of clothing or farcical materials sew together for coverage. There is more to fashion than meets the eyes, fashion is precious and significant. It is a reflection of self-image, it speak the ream about who we are and how we review ourselves. Not only is fashion the reflection of self-image but also the reflection of our history as Coco Channel have said, “Fashion is not something that exist in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Fashion

When I was in about 1st grade possibly younger, I always remember brushing my hair and dressing myself up for school because If you want to get Something done right you have to do it yourself, sorry mom. I found myself mixing and matching every possible color and pattern to be availability, and I thought I was being so fashion forward, which I wasn't.

Clothing creation methods have changed and evolved over the course of many years, and with these changes, the clothing, too, changed drastically over the course of time. From the most basic of clothing to complicated, ever changing fashion, what we wore changed as the methods of creating it changed.

Today, there are numerous researches that have been carried out in relation the influence of fashion on self-perception on different people. All these researchers are of the opinion that the way that an individual dresses has a major impact on his self-perception.

Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel is my inspiration because she was, and still is, a major fashion and life inspiration, not only due to her success, but more due to her influential and revolutionary style. During the 1920s, women wore dresses, skirts, and excessive layers of uncomfortable clothing to be considered "normal". Chanel genuinely believed women should be able to dress comfortably in pants and suits, like men. As she became more recognizable and made a greater appearance at the face of fashion, the amount of women wearing newly crafted unisex garments (pants and suits) grew exponentially. due to Chanel, women of all countries and cultures do not have to wear uncomfortable layers of clothes, underclothes and padding, but simply wear comfortable

I like to create my personal style and help others who cannot seem to wrap their heads around what to wear and how to wear it from fitted pieces to chic ensembles to satisfy their fashion taste buds. I am a creative and I remember in my teenage years I would draw and design outfits. What brought me to fashion was that I found out that the clothes people were wearing was practically the same and I don’t like wearing what every other person is wearing. I like being myself and this led me to explore with various fabric and styles for teenagers and ladies in their 20’s and with time I started making clothes for myself and now I make practically all my clothes by myself and I have helped to satisfy the taste buds of young ladies. So many things inspire me when it comes to styling and fashion; Nature inspires me, fabrics inspire me. I see a fabric and immediately in my subconscious mind, I am already thinking of what pattern or style to create with the fabric. I have inspired fellow twenty somethings with my personal style and fashion statement. I find clothing interesting and fun because it is used to express who I am.

Postwar rations on all items used to make clothing lifted and so clothing was produced freely and hence we could find a broad range of style in women’s attire. Early 1950s saw poddle skirts, modest white blouses with black and white oxford shoes for younger ones. Hooded dress to a skirt worn over a stiff crinoline petticoat was fashionable. Hats and gloves were used for social functions and religious ceremonies. Stilettos became popular when movie stars like Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Sophia Loren wore them. Girls wore rolled up jeans with casual blouses or men’s shirts-a felt skirt with poodle design appliqué. Ponytail, poodle cut to the bouffant look with most of the hair puffed up on top of the head dominated the hair style. Girls were taught

Fashion is an art that has influence mankind throughout human history, and it has played an important role in shaping society. Beauty has always been a motive for men to do something radical for women in order to be noticed. Both beauty and fashion have always been key elements to an artist’s paintings and other works. Fashion has always changed throughout history and it will continue to do so as long as people continue to live on the earth. Humans possess certain characteristics that separate them from animals, and clothing is one of those features. Clothing has kept mankind warm through harsh winters, and cool during blistering summers. Basic clothing allowed people to advance further into the future, then they decided that clothing could be used to portray beauty.

Clothing is often discussed yet rarely understood being as it tells a lot about a person, but no one looks closely enough to truly understand what it is being expressed through a person’s way of dress. In a movie when the protagonist attempts to become someone new, their appearance is usually the first, and usually, only thing that is changed. This is easily recognized as normal when watching because as human beings, we tend to make known either the change within or the need to change what is within by changing what is on the outside first. Since clothing not only contributes to how the world views us, but furthermore, the way we view ourselves, it is fitting that

I typically don’t idolize a fashion icon or look to another for inspiration in terms of style. When I’m browsing through racks for new clothes or picking an outfit for the day, I choose an attire that fits according to my tastes and preferences. I try not to let others influence my style and determine what I can and cannot wear. However, if there was one fashion icon I had to pick, I would choose Iris Apfel. I admire her wisdom and draw inspiration from the ways she enjoys life to her positivity in individualism. One day, as I was scanning through the popular feed on Instagram, a woman adorned in a flashy attire with accompanying vibrant, chunky accessories stopped my fingers from scrolling down any further. Usually, I wouldn’t support a rainbow-themed outfit, assuming the multitude of colors would result in a clashing catastrophe. Yet, the multicolored outfit suited her, as if she was the only person who could pull it off. She embodied confidence. Despite her age at ninety-three years old, Iris Apfel embraced her own personal style instead of yielding to the expected attire for an older person. I was utterly amazed by the way she carried herself. Plus, it wasn’t just Instagram that Iris Apfel had made an appearance, but Buzzfeed as well. Having encountered Apfel’s fashion statements online numerous times, I was persuaded to search for her online and learn about other inspiring qualities. I discovered a quote that I loved: “I don’t dress to be stared at. I dress for myself.”

I strongly believe that children should come with an instruction manual in different languages, after all, even the most complicated computer system or VCR has a manual in three to four languages, or more. Granted, sometimes we can't understand the instructions, but we have them and sometimes even a toll-free help line. Now some people would say their own parent would be the help-line but not always does that work out. Our own parents advice can be, shall I say, out-dated; for example, many would suggest to us "new" parents to tell our child, "what we say goes," or "stop that crying or I'll give you something to cry about," or "do it because I'm the parent and I said so," not the desired tone for positive interaction
