Lucia Idriss capstone
Thought these past few months of determining what I would like to do for my senior capstone considering I had a lot of options. But I finally settled on one, my career as a fashion designer. It has been a really tough struggle getting to the point where I am now. In the beginning, getting started was very complex for me. Learning how to sew and also picking out which designs I’d like to start off with.I bought my first sewing machine in late august but did not begin to actually use it until december and I had issues with it as well where I had to stop sewing at home and even come in early to school to use the school's machine. My first Fashion show where i was a designer and not a model took place this year at Columbia University in New York city. I was scouted through social media to participate in their show and I was truly honored especially as a new designer, This was huge for me. I met a lot of great people and designers that attended the most prestigious of Fashion design schools, ( Parsons, The New School and Fashion Institute of Technology ) I winded up going to that show alone, with no one to accompany me and see my dreams come to life but it was still a great experience even though I had to bask in it by myself.

This is useful to me in two ways, one, vougue is a magazine that I always wanted to write for when I newly introduced properply intot he fashion industry which also led me to begin blogging, http://artnstyles.weebly.com . But most importantly it taught me the ropes of the fashion industry and also brung me to my love, 90s Versace SS/ 94. One of my greatest inspiration for the clothing I create now.
When I first created my tumblr years ago. I just fell into a brand new world, fashion, art, and the passion that lies in between it. Personally I’ve always loved it and wanted to be a part of it, but in my way and not falling in with the other girls who created the same looks over and over again, I wanted to stand out and in many ways I did which brought me to where I am now.

“ Everything I learned about getting dressed, I learned from pop music. I grew up in the 80s, at the pinnacle of pop’s pomp and pageantry. It’s hard to imagine oneself back to those days, before “pop” became the pejorative term it is – shorthand for the interchangeably banal warbling that is a pretext for Saturday-night TV. In the 80s, pop was the main attraction – it was a genre so broad and vibrant, musically and aesthetically, a sparkling explosion of hooks and looks in the age of the music video, of unreality TV. Pop stars seemed to be from another planet and dressed to demonstrate as much. Madonna, Kate Bush” this useful for that quotes entire statement. I trust this because this is coming first hand from someone who lived through that generation and also was influence the same way I was.
Was other people inspired by music of the fashion industry.

Article Title : The Relationship Between Culture and Fashion
Date Accessed : February 03, 2017
This is useful to me because I incorporate my fashion with culture and I feel as though the culture of different ethnicities is what made the fashion industry what it is now. “ Fashion— undoubtedly— reflects culture. All major trends and styles of the past, in one way or another, came to be by way of cultural influence. Throughout history, this is particularly noticeable in the realm of women’s fashion. Only at the turn of the 20th century, when women were beginning to more strongly fight for equal rights, were women first seen wearing pants.” I trust this source because it backs up each fact and has resources. Has culture appropriation been depriving the fashion industry?

“ Fashion is in love with art like never before. From clothing design to catwalk show art direction, major labels to boutique houses, the word of fashion is falling over itself to involve important names from a diverse range of the visual arts. It’s hardy surprising — after all what is fashion if not wearable art — and these collaborations between the disciplines are certainly mutually beneficial. Fashion, often unfairly judged as one of the more frivolous applied arts, gains serious cachet by association, while the artist reaches a wider, more populist audience.”
This is useful well because of that quote. Fashion is wearable art. I trust this source because I feel as though I can relate to what they are saying because it is true. NONE.
