I Am A Girl That Doesn 't Own A Piece Of Jewelry

Have you ever had something very dear to you like jewelry? Well, I have. My gold and ruby necklace was passed down for generations. It is very important to me.

In the necklace the girl wanted to go to a dance but she had know dress or jewelry to addentend the dance. “She had no proper wardrobe, no jewels,nothing. And those were the only things that she loved-she felt she was made for them.” She felt like she was nothing without the jewels even no that is not something she needed but wanted. She felt as if she would have gotten made fun of for being poor or lower class. As shown in the quote… “No… there is nothing more humiliating than to look poverty-stricken among a lot of rich women.”

The 1920’s fashion was a period of liberation, change, and even more importantly a movement towards the modern era. Fashion in the 1920’s varied throughout the decade but one could see the noticeable change from the previous fashion statements and eras. At the start of the decade, women began emancipating themselves from the constricting fashions by wearing more comfortable apparel. As women gained more rights and World War I forced them to become more independent, flappers came to be, mass-produced garments became available, and artistic movements increased in popularity, one can see how the fashions from the roaring twenties characterized the time and redefined womanhood.

This love for fashion began with me visually examining the red carpets of award shows and being infatuated with the ladies’ long gowns and the vibrant colors of their dresses. To styling my Barbie dolls and putting on fashion shows with the looks I had created with them. This creative intellect continued to grow with me throughout my education. Starting in elementary school, I always enjoyed Art class. Entering high school, I was

The power of fashion is underestimated by many. I, myself was one of those many. Up until my middle school art instructor, Ms.Jose introduced me to the fashion world. One day as I worked on an art project, Ms.Jose randomly challenged me to create a Roaring 20’s look. At the time, “Roaring 20’s” was a newcomer to my historical knowledge. Curious to understand what Ms.Jose was referring to and where I had to get my inspiration from, I researched the history behind this time period. I was astonished by how much of a role fashion played during this era, from the bob hairstyles, to shorter dresses, and the famous designer Coco Chanel. Inspired by one of Coco Chanel first collections, I designed a purple and red evening dress and accessorised the

Wearing jewelry was imprinted on me from an early age. It was always an aspect that always made me stick out in school. Girls would judge me because I would wear about three or four gold bracelets on one or both arms, rings, and earrings. My older self looks back at my younger self and says “You were doing too much.” I was also young and naive and for my mother allowing me to leave the house with that much jewelry on was

Katherine Feiel had an early introduction to fashion. Raised by a textile artist, Katherine capitalized on the creative milieu she was born into, and spent her childhood developing her technical sewing skills, exercising her knack for designing, and she even sewed together clothes for herself and her family. Her early start in clothing and costume design developed into a profession. After a few years experimenting and playing with fabric’s, Katherine’s love for costume design developed into a passion for crafting wedding and special occasion dresses.

As a little girl, I was always drawn to fashion. I'm very thankful for my mom letting me explore my creative abilities. For instance, when I was around four years old my mom allowed me to pick out my first outfit. This was very significant to me since most people would only identify me as a twin. Thus, fashion gave me an outlet to express myself. Above all I love fashion, but I also love anything that allows me to express my artistic side. In my high school art classes, I managed to make a perfect score of 100 in every art class. On the outside looking in it may have looked like it was easy for me. On the contrary, If you only knew how much hard work I put into my passions. When I was seven my parents signed me up for art classes. At first,

Fashion has always been my outlet. As a soft-spoken southern girl, my style has always been my way to break free and boldly show a part of myself that was hidden behind my shy demeanor. Giving me a new perspective of the world from a young age fashion encouraged me to try new things and market myself. Freshmen year of high school I turned those new skills and courage into actions by working with my school’s JROTC program to sell candy and other treats to the other students. I took this as an opportunity to meet and talk to new people, it was also a way to make a little money. Unexpectedly, I gained so much knowledge about people what they like don’t like, how presentation can directly affect if a potential customer makes a purchase, as well as how important it is to keep up with customers buying patterns. With that information, I was able to sell an astonishing nine hundred and fifty-seven treats in just four months.Through this minor achievement I proved to myself that I could do anything that I wanted to do with a lot of hard and consistency.

From my early experiences with fashion, these lead me to continue to follow all through my academic process, my favorite classes all through elementary school were Art, this continued until high school. In high school, I explored more into the world of fashion and more behind the scenes of the fashion industry. During my junior year of high school, I took a job a K-mart I learned about not only fashion but retail. I learned a great deal in the job about visual merchandising, during this time through a class in high school we were given the opportunity to spend the day with the Austin American statesman, I was chosen to spend the day with marketing department, I learned a great deal and this really changed my outlook for my career path at the

During each era, people had to meet the requirements to keep up with the trends such as weight, appearance, and body size. “No longer did people feel like they had to conform to a certain look for certain situations.” The man who changed it all is Christian Dior. “Dior was a French fashion designer whose post–World War II creations were wildly popular, and whose legacy continues to influence the fashion industry.” Women in the United States were upset people were holding protests against Dior’s fashion collection.

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.

Other individual’s appearances are greatly influential during childhood. Ms. Hancock and Charlotte’s mother were both very extreme with their styles. Charlotte’s mother was obsessive about her professional, proper, and elegant dress code. She wore skirts and nylons, with her hair always in place and looked as if “a hairdresser had arrived at 6 a.m.” Both Charlotte’s mother and Ms. Hancock tried to look what was “youthful” in their opinions. People adopt their role model’s styles. For example, in high school, Charlotte was influenced by her mother, because she dressed “maturely”. On the other hand, Miss Hancock always dressed very flamboyant and uniquely. Her make-up and hair stood out from a crowd. She enjoyed wearing “peasant blouses encrusted

Personalized jewelry is always a popular item for women. This allows them to be unique with the guarantee that no one else will or may have the same item or design of jewelry as anybody else. Of course, being unique alone is not enough for the jewelry to be acknowledged and appreciated properly. It also has to be elegant and classy. This is exactly what Pandora Bracelets offer.

Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli were two of the most iconic fashion designers of the ‘20s and ‘30s. Through their devotion in wanting to reshape the definition of what it meant to be a woman, matched with strong feminist qualities, both designers challenged the previous notions of femininity, stemming from the restrictive Victorian era. While Schiaparelli and Chanel are considered to be the most influential female designers of their time, it is important to acknowledge that both women are relatively different in terms of their artistic qualities and what they have brought to the world of fashion. Chanel is commonly linked to the idea of having created clothes that were specifically made for the comfort of a woman, always keeping in mind simplicity, elegance and
