In addition, social media plays an important role in Halloween because many people like to share their creative ideas with the rest of the world. Furthermore, celebrities make up remarkable and creative costumes to show to the public. For example, Heidi Klum's butterfly costume.

In this holiday, some families and friends like to dress up in a theme creating some magnificent costumes. I hope you all have a happy holloween and get inspired by celebrity costume ideas.

What is quality assurance (QA)? What does quality assurance inspector do? why is it important for a company to have standards of quality assurance?

         The quality assurance is the development of a project, to ensure that follow the  standards of levels that garment they going to design. The inspector works with the designer and the factory to understand the specification of the garments.  In addition, the inspector inspects the seam allowances, grain line, hem sizes, stitches  length,and patterns matching. It is  important to have standards of quality in fashion because helps to keep the quality of a product. If the factory or any other individual don't have manipulation of these five areas  such as sewing technique, fit, textiles, and visual design. The company loses  credibility and clients. That it is essential for a company to have standards of quality assurance for instance, if the company  does not protect the logo or brand it can be stolen  and would be owned by the person that stole the logo or brand.

Inspector's taking measurements

What is quality? Is price always an indicator of quality? Is it always best to spend a little more for a more durable garment?

The quality of the apparel can generally be described as high, medium, or low.                                                                                        High- quality.These garments have the best construction features,that reflects on the designer's work.
Have attention to detail.For example plaids and stripes match and it appears that the high garments prices show good quality as well.                                                                                                                            Medium-quality.These garments are constructed well and reliable.the garments are made durable. They generally reflect good designer,else used are good in quality fabrics.These garments are in the medium prices.                                                                                                                                     Low quality.The quality of the garment is construction poorly, and the Principles of a good designer may not be followed.                                                                                                                                                  According to three categories, you may choose the one that you may prefer. I think if you spend a little more time on your garment you can create something that you would love to wear for a very long time.For example, when you buy a blouse that is part of the trend but its low cost, you may think after two weeks  that it may not look the same,Instead, you should buy a high quality or medium quality garment for it to last longer .

Cleopatra costume

I  celebrate Halloween every year and it's a big tradition in the USA .Every year I wear a funny costume because I don't like scary ones. I would sometimes wear dramatic makeup such as red lipstick and smoky eye shadows and fake eyelashes.In this day, I don't have to worry about people's thoughts.Usually, I would wear an iconic celebrity or a historical person like for example, Marilyn Monroe and Cleopatra.I choose these examples because these costumes are easy to wear no matter if your tall or short, you can be fitted. I think every woman should have something like this in their closet. I say that mostly all the time when I go out to try a costume in the store it isn't exactly my size and I get frustrated.That's why I'm creating my own costume.I think that Halloween is a perfect time to express yourself confidently. When you go out in your costume , you should have a fun time and you shouldn't have to worry about people's thoughts.

The first time that I heard about kids exploration in the clothes factory, I was surprised that little kids work at such a young age in Europe.  For example, I read about a 15-year-old boy's story and saw how his family can't effort basic items that they need to live. It breaks my heart when I see this photo of this boy because it reminds me how poor people live. When people shop for their clothes they never think that these garments are made by kids. I think the government of this country has to make laws for regulating the clandestine factories. Any child, no matter the country, must have the same rights and opportunity to have an education.In the USA it's rare to hear about something like this, but it is happening. Because we always take advantage of our issues or situations, people can't really talk about it .Usually, when this happens in the USA ,whoever is in charge of the brand or company, they have regulations; However, these issues still happen.In the USA, authorities help victims only when they denounce the case or situation.However, In every country, rich or poor, this is still happening and no one knows it.

fashion has to break the acceptable rules of taste in order to redefine it?" Do you agree that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"

The Fashion show in London has vulgar content because some of the models wore unusual and inappropriate garments .Some designers create unusual garments with print patterns such as Cheetos bag and floral print. I even saw some garments that were transparent, which revealed nudity to the audience.  One of the models wore a skirt and in front of the skirt it had the head of an elephant. The accessories play an important role on these fashion show. I respect these designers that create their own concepts; However, exposing the model's body makes it controversial. Following fashion trends depend on personality and there is none of that in these shows. These are the types of garments that I don't like to see because it is highly inappropriate, but some of the other garments are acceptable.Perhaps some designers try to attract the people's attention and earn fame.I think fashion shows should have rules or norms that they can regulate in these events. For me, I say that when models appear naked in front of the audience, it is highly inappropriate; However, Things like this influence  normal people to think that this is acceptable.

High Heels Shoes

Who invented the high heel shoes?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               The high heels shoe is a footwear that raises the heel of the wearer's foot significantly higher than toes. High heels were worn by  Ancient Egypt dating back to 3500 B.C.  In Ancient Egypt, murals there are depictions of high heels.  Moreover, during the Ancient Roman and Greek Era were worn  platform sandals called Kothorni" or "Buskins"  which were made of high wooden cork soles. " During the Middle ages,  men and women would wear "pattens" that were made of wooden soles, attached to their shoes in order to keep their expensive of fragile footwear out of mud and street rubbish.  Chopines were another type of  platform shoe that emerged in the 1400s in Turkey  and became well known through Europe until the 1600s, but these platforms shoes were worn only by women. This shoe  heel was about 30 inches above the ground, women required  a cane or  assistant from servants for walking. Furthermore, in the 1500s shoes were made into two pieces, a movable upper piece attached to a stable sole. This invention rises the popularity of heels within women and men. But in 1533 the first high heel was invented. This fashion could be accredited to petite Catherine De  Medici who was engaged to Duke of Orleans at the age of 14. Nowadays, you can find a pair of heels shoes in  every women closet. The high heel shoes give confidence and elegance to a woman. It just part of a woman wardrobe.

New York Fashion Week

     What is a Fashion Show?                                                                                                                      A fashion show is an event showing designers clothes down a runway showing new trends. That is a central development of session and department stores.According to magazines and social media,   celebrities collaborate in fashion to create their own clothing line, like the hip-hop artist, Kanye West.

FIDM & Business Trends in the Fashion Industry

The FIDM is a school that offers degrees and majors on different types of artistic subjects, the campus is located in California. If you would like to be a fashion designer, then this is the school for you. I hear so much interesting things about this school. The representative of FIDM came to my class and talked about the advances and opportunities that they give. She played videos and explaining how is made their products and how they add images to grab the buyer's attention. Some of these images are made by specials effects. Furthermore, we saw two videos by celebrity singers Rihanna and Beyonce. Each of them represented a different company brand to make them more popular. Technology is now playing an important role in some stores. Los Angeles has a store that has a screen on the wall so you can see what sizes or colors you want on your jacket so you wouldn't have to go back to get another one. Ideas like this inspire me to become a fashion designer.

"Teamwork"

Teamwork

 "Teamwork"is when a group of people work together for the same cause, assignment, activity.In real life, sometimes you have to use teamwork in mostly everything, the reason why I say this is because, on some of activities or assignments, a person can't  do itself. Teamwork has pros and cons sometimes sharing thoughts ,comments, and opinions can be a positive or negative thing for example when I work in the lab with my teammates to get things done is have a good and positive result. However, working independent focuses me on doing my assignments and it also benefits me if I ever get paired up with someone that does none of the work. But the best way to get success is asking the team leader. Sometimes when I have some struggles in the lab, I will always ask someone on my team to help me out.

Then I saw some dresses with silhouettes. Cardigans  have been a part of this collection and what I like most about them is the touch delicate that it has . Shoes play a key role to these garments such as ankle heel, sandals, and sneakers. Few garments have a floral print, but what's interesting about them is the pattern.

What are hems? How can they affect a garment's appearance?

                                                                   What are hems?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             The hem is the edge of a piece of cloth that is has turned under and sewn. The term of " hemline"
entered  fashion-speak in the 1930s. When hem first became a focus in fashion, slavishly reported on how many inches about the floor the latest season's models were hemmed. Most of the hems were very useful at these  days for any cloth. In addition,  all types of  sewing techniques do not work for all types of fabrics.  Therefore, some fabrics hemline are heavy weight such as wool or lightweight like silk would require different sewing techniques.  If the measurement is incorrect the edge of the hem would be uneven  and for that reason, the garment would not be a good quality.  Last but not least, the hemline can be 1/4, 1/2, 1 1/4, and 2'. It depends on the fabric or the type of garment that would be constructed.
