If Ideas Were Fashion By Dana Hendricksn

Although Betty and some other characters in the show are regarded as ugly by stereotypically beautiful women, they seldom question the beauty standards and often choose to accept the situation, which shows their internalized sexism. In the first three seasons Betty remains the same body figure and clothing style, which is considered “ugly” by her colleagues. Though being optimistic and confident about her life, she admits her ugliness. Betty’s childhood memories are mostly negative because her classmates laughed at her appearance and made fun of her ugliness. Suffering from negative reactions from her peers, Betty accepts the mainstream beauty standards, admits that she is ugly, and frequently relates failure and her tragic past with her

Fashion reflects the attitudes of a society more than any other art form. Like art, fashion is a material record of the ideals that swayed the nations at the time of their creation. Through examining the styles, and tastes of a particular era, we can realize where the interests and priorities of a time lie. As Frank Parsons wrote in his 1920 study, The Psychology of Dress, "There is surly no better field in which to trace the devious paths of human thought than in that of clothes, where man has ever given free play to self expression, in a way which, thought not always a credit to his intelligence, is yet quite true to his innermost self, whether he will acknowledge it or

I personally live within the Church and Wesley district boundaries and I am biased when I say that it is one of my favorite areas within Toronto. I always feel safe while walking home no matter how late. And the atmosphere there is a constant stream of events happening each day of the week always surprises me.

Prior to taking this class, I considered myself very involved in fashion. I have always enjoyed shopping, as well as presenting myself in a fashion forward way. My favorite topic of discussion since I’ve started this class was the Jane Elliott exercise, A Class Divided. It made me realize, how even at a very early age, how prejudice and discriminating we can be. We have no right judging someone by what they are wearing. We owe it to them, ourselves, and society to get to know someone first.

“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.

“Real style is never right or wrong it’s a matter of being yourself on purpose,” G. Bruce Boyer. A person may wake up and try one set of clothing then another, and they are just not feeling it. By the time they notice, everything they own is on the bed or on the floor instead of hanging neatly in their closet. Clothing is connected to the person’s personality, mood, and memory, and it conveys in its own language, a message to the wearer and their audience.

However, through purpose, thought, and choice, clothes gain entree into the person’s closet.
