Wayne Dyer once said “doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life”. Ever since I was a little girl, fashion has always been a very important part of my life. However, while most young girls were busy designing Barbie’s next outfit, I was enthusiastically trying to figure out the best way to market and sell Barbie to my friends. This habit did not end during my childhood years; rather it followed me through high school. I firmly believe that being passionate about your career can add much happiness and depth to your life. By attending FIT I can bring and take away positive ideas and qualities.

Growing up in an Asian household, majoring in fashion was never an option. It was either you become a doctor, engineer or lawyer. I never had a background where fashion played a major role in my life. None of my family members have worked or even took an interest in the field. To be frank, it was not until the start of fall 2016 that I began to be drawn towards the business industry of fashion and it's all thanks to the influence of social media.

As a child, I have always been a visually observatory person. Patterns, textiles, and fashion have always been high interests of mine. My childhood consisted of many Barbie dolls as toys, and it wasn't the Barbie dolls that I wanted to play with, but the clothes that I loved to collect and interchange between the dolls. Creating different outfits for the dolls made me feel as if I was making my own mark in fashion. As I grew older, begging my mother to purchase fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle, and Harpers Bazaar were typical and became expected. While flipping through the pages of fashion magazines, I was enthralled while examining the latest trends from celebrities and models. This is what influenced me to want to work in the fashion industry.

What appealed me most about fashion design and product development is the concept, in my eyes fashion is “walking art”, it is a mixture of the oldest fashion to today’s latest trends. I love the fact that I can be so diverse and creative with my designs. Adding a new piece, changing the color or even making something that hasn’t even be thought of. I love being different, having out of the box, off the all ideas. I love making beautiful clothes and mix matching clothes together. I’m also going to double my major with Business management. the reason why I’m deciding to do that is because I’ve always wanted to own my own business and to be my own boss, it’s a big dream of mine. I read into the course and what it has to offer me and it was so direct and straight to the point, teaching you everything you need to know before getting into the industry. What really stood out to me is the 95% rate of the business management graduates that found a job right after graduation. To me that’s amazing! It’s also another big reason why I decided to double my major.

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

Fairchilds argues that debates over women’s political rights were neither the only nor the most significant causes for the emergence of Revolutionary regulations of dress. She suggests that these regulations emerged due to the policy of consumption and consumer goods, which was shaped by two contradictory notions: the notion that consumers had the right to buy what they wanted and the notion that goods had symbolic, formative and didactic traits that reflected and shaped the consumer’s personality. Through the examination of the Old Regime luxury debates, Fairchilds explains the beginnings of these ideas and how they influenced Revolutionary policies towards dress. In addition, she suggests that the concept that fashion reflects an individual’s

“Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.” This beautiful quote was said by a designer that I have always adored, Alexander McQueen. He created a movement that was a complete art, every collection clearly showed a story. I chose this designer as an example because he was an artist that truly captured the fact that fashion is one of the most powerful forms of art. The clothes, hair, makeup, and models can only bring a look to life if the designer clearly put their heart and soul into everything they created. Fashion is an art, collections tell stories, there is so much work put into every aspect, and it can express emotions.

People have claimed over the course of the modeling industry that size zero model should be banned, why should someone be fired from their job because they’re a size zero? In this paper I will be covering the following, health problems, the designers point of view, and equality.

In spite of the considerable role that fashion designers and the entire fashion industry plays, designers are often unable to completely and comprehensively

As a little girl I never would have thought I would even consider studying fashion in college. It was already registered in my brain that I would study medicine, law or engineering, but as I got older I began to develop a liking for fashion. I began reading fashion magazines, paying attention to what people wore, discovered the fashion channel, where designers would display their latest collection. My favorite designer was always, Betsey Johnson for her showcases of colorful and unusual designs. It was like a whole new world that I had never come across.

As we have learned previously people who have disabilities have a hard time finding clothing that fit and are comfortable to wear. Caitlyn Pallas presented “You can’t sit with us” the fashion industries effect of the body image of people with disabilities to help teach the class the struggles she has gone through since she has became disabled. Caitlyn fell out of a dress and became paralyzed from the chest down during her sophomore year of college. She had to re-learn how to do everything things like using her hands, putting makeup on and getting dressed. She explained how she believes that people with disabilities are objectified in the media to make other people feel better which takes away from the people who have disabilities that deserve to be celebrated. Through her own experiences she learned that special fit clothing is not typically stylish and there is not

Because men and women have different proportions, the sizes are made accordingly, which makes it difficult for women to buy men’s clothing and vice versa. For example, in shoes, a men's size 5 is equivalent to a women’s size 7. This not only shows how women tend to have smaller feet but how men are expected to have larger ones. Normally, the sizes do not pose that large of an issue. However, some female athletes desire to have more colorful cleats or sneakers. There are usually more colors and options for men’s shoes, so many females try to buy men’s shoes, but it is difficult due to the size conversions. Also, women’s shirts tend to run relatively small even when the size indicates a medium or large. This creates the idea that women should be able to fit into these small sizes, even if the garment looks

There are many differences between an average height person and a little person. Physical health, socializing and family all play key roles in exhibiting variances between an average height person and a little person. People are viewed in many ways in this society, but it is all about how each person perceives one another. Naturally as human beings “one” tends to judge others loosely, based on multiple differences. One common misconception about both groups of people is medical issues. For example, when an average person becomes pregnant they have the choice of giving birth naturally or having a cesarean performed. On the other hand a little person may only have a cesarean, because of their body structure. This is one of many

The fashion design career, has recently emerged as one of the most popular and competitive among young people. Those who actually succeed in design have a very individualistic personal style and don’t follow trends set by others.
