One can compare her fashion style to that of a militant mixed with the style of an elegant queen. Mattie “Sunshine’s” clothing collection is one to kill for because her color coordination is nothing more than a sight for sore eyes. For her clothing doesn’t wear her, she wears the clothes and with class. Even her jewelry accentuates and compliments her style and physique. She’s a strong-willed, hardworking woman who reminds those around her that she is human, but that she is just trying to live life to its

For this essay I chose two of the most influential fashion photographers of this century : Guy Bourdin and Terry Richardson. To my mind, these photographers represent the spirit of past and present of brave fashion photography. Although their works spans decades apart, there are still links between their styles.

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

For this creative history project, I conduced a prezi about the progression of lingerie in the United States with my partner, Margret O’Connell. Since March is Women’s History Month, I figured this project would be very fitting. Lingerie is most commonly known as a sex symbol; however, in early American History, lingerie was more of an aesthetic. The first example of this would be the corset. Lingerie was pioneer by Lad Duff- Gordon who wanted to free women from more restrictive corsets. We found this project to be another example of women empowerment and not just portraying women as objects, which has been more of an issue in the current century.

When you mix fashion with a Cantina setting and live performers, you know you are in for a great night! Such scenario took place this past Saturday, November 12 at the hip Banko Cantina in West Palm Beach, FL.

For our exhibition review, our class visited the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts on Wednesday September 21st. This semester the exhibition being presented is Transformers: re-contextualizing our material culture, the exhibition is curated by China Marx. The artists shown in the exhibit are: Garry Noland, Gerry Trilling, and Julie Peppito. I have never truly analyzed art before, and a textile museum was the last place I pictured myself at Florida Tech. As soon as I walked in I felt like I was in a whole different world. There were beautiful pieces of handmade jewelry, and scarves for sale all over the walls and shelves. The walls were pure white, and looked very modern. Banners hung from the second floor ceiling down to the ground behind the desk. The banners read “Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts.” I knew this exhibition was going to be beautiful as soon as I walked in, and I was right. The exhibition beautifully showed how one can view different aspects of life and demonstrated the necessity of reusing waste and finding beauty and detail in everything around us.

Fashion does not simply consist of the clothes we pick out of our closets in the morning. That daily decision only constitutes the last step of a much larger process, foreign sweatshops, multi-billion-dollar businesses, celebrities on red carpets, and sophisticated advertising campaigns. Fashion emerges out of pattern-making and design, the cultivation and production of raw materials, the manufacturing process, and the distribution of the finished product. Although all this creates the materials, fashion is more than just cloth and jewels. Fashion is the expression of oneself whether it's based on emotion, fashion trends, or music videos.

With the fast advance in fashion and culture, ambitious fashion designers like Coco Chanel and Paul Poiret innovated the fashion forever. Chanel little black dress was presented in Vogue on October 1st 1926 and soon after dubbed the “Ford Dress” by Vogues editor- a proposal that it would become as fashionable as Ford car. It’s enhancing shape fitted just about any silhouette of woman and it advertise a new Parisian economy approach or “poverty deluxe” as Chanel herself named it; a fancy version of a clear design created of decent fabrics. At the same time Poiret took out the women from the corset and put them into the gorgeous gowns, likewise he grow into becoming famous for writers, artists, musicians and intellectuals concentrate upon the extensive fashion capitals of the world.

Fashion has been around ever since ancient times, since the time of the Romans, it survived the world wars and is yet today a business with rapid changes. Fashion started off as an art form, a way for the riches to show their social status with unique and innovative designs that only they could afford. It was a way to separate the social classes of the society. In this paper I will include the creator of haute couture, and how the following designers developed couture, as well as having leading names in today’s ready-to-wear industry. The list is long, but I chose to focus on the three most important designers of the modern fashion industry.

Paul Poiret was born on April 20th, 1879 in Paris, France. His contributions to twentieth-century fashion has earned him the title in many people’s eyes as the “King of Fashion”, because he established the principle of modern dress and created the blueprint of the modern fashion industry. Poiret’s designs and ideas led the direction of modern design history. He was born into a working class family and his natural charisma eventually gained him entry into some of the most exclusive ateliers of the Belle Époque. Jacques Doucet, one of the capital’s most prominent couturiers, hired him after seeing promising sketches he had sold to other dressmakers. Furthermore, he was hired by the House of Worth and was put to work to create less
