Reflective Essay On Fashion

At first I was not sure what I should put, but then when I starting thinking about it, it came pretty easily. However I did have a difficult time thinking about what I can’t change because I try not to focus on that.

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.

It all started with a Jumpman and a swoosh, it was more than just a shoe it was the start of a culture. What most people look at as just a shoe to protect their feet has a story behind it and a deeper meaning to me and many others than “just a pair of shoes”. Don’t put on a pair of shoes unless you know how to wear them right. For every pair I own I could explain the troubles I went through and the people I met to get each sneaker. The best feeling was opening that fresh shoe box and taking out that paper wrapping. Putting on each new pair of sneakers is like taking a breath of fresh air each pair crisp as bacon. I am one among many sneakerheads, people who love to buy, sell, trade, and collect rare shoes. There is a culture, lifestyle, and history behind sneaker collecting. Most people would think dropping hundreds if not thousands on a pair of shoes is crazy but I believe sneakers are essential.

Their people who try to get the rarest shoes to add to their collection. Guthrie, a baseball player told interviewers about his vast collection held in his Utah home, he’s grown roughly 500 pairs(Skretta). Shoes are what dominate this subculture with the main distributors being Nike and Jordans. To many sneakerheads its harmless fun and to others its a business(Rahman). This group falls in love with their shoes caring for it as if it were a baby. Others see it as an opportunity to make a quick buck with an underground economy of shoes. However, is their another reason why these shoes are desirable? By many creative minds the shoes express their emotions and from a former sneakerhead “it’s like collecting fine art,” proclaimed by by keeney(Skretta). When someone has an emotional attachment to an object its hard to separate them. That is one of the reasons why sneakerheads have an obsession. Sneakerheads don’t only think about themselves. The culture helps out the economy as one sneakerhead will buy one to five pairs of shoes a month. When it comes to getting what you want money would be something you care less about if you have it. The community also sparked many conventions where people trade shoes and buy or sell them while also bringing everyone together to have interactions creating a great

Society is constructed in such a way that some people become inferior to other people because of how society treats certain individuals. Fashion has become a catalyst that leaves a gap between the lower class and the upper class; this brings out the aspect of social structure as it ranks categories of people in a hierarchy,( Macious & Plummer, 2008).Bourdieu’s concepts of field, habitus, social capital and cultural capital gives an illustration of the elite and the lower class in terms of their fashion taste.
