Fashion is my Rage
Fashion has changed my view of the world. They are not just pieces of clothing, they are
works of art. Fashion shows expression of an individual's personality and attitude. Clothing is a
bridge between you and everyone else. It can express what you love, what you are interested in
and who you are. It is a conversation starter and an icebreaker to get to know someone. Fashion
I’m fascinated by the history of fashion and it’s prominent moments. The fabrics,
silhouettes, and hemlines show so much about the cultural currency of an era. You don’t have to
be a designer to appreciate fashion or have the desire to pass through the prism of style. My mind
always travels to fashion moments in history that inspire me. One of my favorite moments in
history is the platform sneaker trend. I love a good thick shoe that has some height depth to it. It
catches the human eyes more so than most other shoes. I like how the platform sneaker make
your legs to appear longer and flows together with flare jeans. I take a piece of that history and
twist it a little and it suddenly it becomes something that is brand new and uniquely me.
Most people buy brand new clothes from all sorts of places. This causes distress on our
environment over time. With all that goes into the process of creating new clothes, such as using
more materials and the impact it leaves on the world, it just isn’t worth it. It takes about 100
gallons of water to grow and process a single pound of cotton. The average american goes
through about 35 pounds of new cotton material each year. Go to your local thrift, vintage and
antique shops and buy used items to incorporate into your wardrobes. This will help cut down on
materials that are used to make brand new clothes that are affecting our environment.
Alexander McQueen once said, “Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of
imprisonment.” McQueen knew how to find the beauty in things that everyday people would
usually find grotesque and vile. He would take a time in an era and create it into a story on the
runway. Taking risks in the fashion world is imperative when you want to make a name for
yourself. I aspire to be an influencer within the fashion business. To contrast spirals of the
imagination that is chaotic, but in order. To create a attraction to my art. And to show different
parts and sides of my personality, interests and to express love, when I assemble an outfit. Where
would we be without fashion? The world would be lost without it. Our world would be dull and
dreary without the depth that clothes gives us, we would lose our expression of character.
Fashion is my rage.
