Johnson wales University.

Johnson wales University mascot the Wildcat 

            Today a guest arrived in our class, from Johnson wales University. Her name is Jill Naughton.   The reason why she came to our class was to invite the students to take a course in the University in their last year of high school. This school is a private school. When someone thinks about a private school, many think about the cost of the tuition, however,  she explained that this is not reason to prevent you from joining because they offer scholarships. Sometimes if your involved in any clubs or sports, you automatically are accepted if you apply. The reason why she chose to advertise the university at our school is because our class is a Fashion Designer and Textiles Arts class and this school has two majors that involves what we're studying, merchandise and retail clothing. In addition this school offers personal experience like travel to take a class that is part of our majors. Finally she gave a lot of information and now students might think about joining this University.

function vs. design.

        What is a "function vs Design '?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Is a product by designer create but a designer add it something makes different  than another. First,  a designer has to think to make competitive and unique at the moment.the attraction of the consumers Is not only the product that creates is something have a function that makes practical. Sometimes that designer is not attractive but has a good function that yourself needs nothing else. However, at these days always consumers look for something innovate and practically makes life easy. We can seem all that time came up a product that you really like and ask yourself  why is came up before so easy my life but inside in heart you say thanks. In addition, have some examples that think same like me. When I know about this iPhone case that includes a charged battery in the same case I think is a really good function that saves my time and doesn't have to worry because I think is a convenience for travel or long trip. Another example is a sports pants is to protect UV have a small bag with a zipper that you can carry your keys or iPad when you running. Finally, In my class, we develop a product have a function we have the concept to create scrubbers with tulle fabric with adding it  to each piece of crochet that looks delicate and decorative that attracts the attention to women.

"Fast Fashion"

Lady is working in a factory

    The true cost of fast fashion has different contrast these days .In our society fast fashion is the biggest demand for clothing. The reason why it cost so low is because people like to get more and pay less or some of the consumers have a lowbudget and cant afford high cost clothing. This really influence our economy. Therefore, it affects humanity by Industry's because they pay poorly in labor.  In some places, each person gets an hourly pay by cents. Because families get paid poorly, their family can't afford basic items, such as food, education, and even health insurance. Some employees also can't afford to pay for medical help when they get sick by contaminants and chemicals from factories that don't have regulations. Also, some farmers cultivate cotton which is exposed to pesticides. Sometimes people track others attention with other peoples influences in status or economy. In addition, this really impacts workers and consumers. On holidays, consumers spend a lot of money on fast fashion. Retail stores make a lot of advertising by sending emails on television or catalog that your get by mail .My recommendation for consumers is to spent less on fast fashion and try to make your own clothes. Finally, I hope designers think more about the enviroment and how they affect it.    

What is "Cyber-Monday?"

Cyber Monday   Advertising

             The "Cyber Monday" is a day to encourage people to shop by online.Following the next Monday after thanksgiving day. Since 2014 Cyber Monday is  coming very popular.At this day the deals is going to 70% most of merchandise is coming  up very successful. Furthermore, Consumers don't have time to go shopping on black Friday so this  a big opportunity to do shop online. In addition, to shop online is good advantage for shopping because you don't to worry for dress up well, your be comfortable with your pajama and you don't have to going outside lead with traffic or with people crowd. At these days is popular at people young age is call "millenniums",like shopping online checks the updates of advertising. I not usually really shop online but when have change I made is very convince to shopping there. I have good  experience to shop online, save time and save money. Finally, If your have change to try shop on cyber Monday is good opportunity to try some different. 

What is "Black Friday?"

People shopping a Black Friday

            "Black Friday" is the day after thanksgiving day. Most retail stores have door busters and early birds. Stores make a lot of profit on this day and they attract their consumers with advertising. The first time people talk about it was when it became popular on September 24,1869. If you are planning to go shopping on this day, you should definitely have a plan. The reason why I say this is because on this day a big crowd of customers shows up and the lines to purchase are very long.  You would probably also have to think about what you really need or are going to use. For example, if you are planning to buy a TV, you may lose your focus because of all the mayhem going on in every store. I think that "Black Friday" is a good thing for you to go shopping  because you might find things that you always wanted for a good and cheap price. I have had a good experience in the past and get good discounts. I don't think that "Black Friday" is bad for people, but it also depends on the person decision. However, bringing a small child is not a good idea to do because the kids don't sleep well, the kids can cry and bother other people, and you may not choose the right item because someone is tracking you attention.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Dress Forms vs Mannequins

Dressforms vs Mannequins

        A dress form  has the measurements  of real model.  The dress form is filing with cotton compared to the mannequin that is made of fiberglass. Moreover, the dress form  can be used for draping nad help to create garments. On the other hand, the mannequin is only used for display  in department stores.  Most of the designers use a standards sizes   It is fabulous it know for posture fit, shape, and quality in a dress.  At this  days  both tools  are very useful for designers to make create draping  dress  for high quality.

Product Development

    The development of a product  is the first concept  to create something. Most everyday products did not get famous in an instant. You first need to think about it. You have to estimate the cost of the materials that you are going to use and if you're going to manufacture the product, you need to produce it by mass. In my class, we developed a product and we did a presentation for our product for pitches, for the ones we wanted to sell, which product is  appropriate for our customers, and which one appeals our customer's attention.I read an article of Toni Ko's, about 7 steps for effective product development coming success. Ko talks about NYX cosmetics and how this product is the best thing to sell.I learned a lot from reading this article about how a low-cost vendor isn't necessarily your best bet. You need to go for quality and reputation.  Also sometimes you have to be in charge in what you sell and find a place to settle and sell your product. The place in which you settle matters a lot because it is the place in which you will try to sell your product. In addition, she's said to not overstock, if your predict to sell 100, don't. Instead of buying 1000, buy 110.  At this time, our product isn't ready ,but I think we made a good decision, and our pop-ups retail shop will go very success and profitable.      

What is fast fashion?

    Fast fashion is the cause of a major problem in the environment. New research by McKinsey &Co; found out a way on how to consume fashion and how it affects our ecosystem and other companies. Consumers are middle class buying these type of clothes and the attracted is low-cost. Also, it is linking to issues of labor workers abuses. At these days continually is rising incomes from five countries such as Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and Russia. Apparel sales are continuing growing by the middle class is the development of economy eight times faster than in  Canada, Germany, In the United Kingdom. Environmental impact  "will require an action"of Industry to manufactured fast fashion. Definitely, there will be consequences to buying, the clothes are very poorly construction and is made with cheap materials, and there not last longer. It contains chemicals that affect our ecosystem. Suggestion  for Industry of fashion investing recycle fibers development of new fabrics following  norms to introduce how to take care of garment. In my opinion, that we should help the environmental and ecosystem and to consume less, create our self-outfit, investing to buying medium quality and classics styles.

Why do you think the fashion industry is "behind" when it comes to sustainability?

     The Fashion Industry is "behind"to reform clothing brands for ethically produced fashion. I think this because of society and the pollution impact. When we see, we then demand clothes.The brands try to introduce Eco- friendly clothes.To be sustainable you need to calm  yourself and change. My impression of this article is that it talks about company's issues and their changes. These designers  introduce environmental and Eco-friendly clothing. Perhaps,  these designers are trying to innovate the fashion industry. In these days, it's important because they involve other designers and they think about the next generation.In addition, when it comes to sourcing Eco-friendly fabrics and trims, the 60s and 70s and earliest 90s have the most social and political movements. For this reason, I say that some days it brings us attention that issues for manufacturers consequences. I  don't think we need to solve that much but is "behind"to make changes to take care our planet. I feel confident to purchase  a garment with a calm attitude. In my personal living, the steps that I'm doing is to not purchase a lot garments. I also read the tag to see how they can be cared for, that way the garment would last longer.

Balmain's Spring/Summer 2017 Fashion Show

Model Wearing Balmain Jacket

     The Balmain's  Fashion show  takes place in Paris.If  you know about Balmain or you don't gone love it.The designer is a lead and this brand is Olivier Rousteing. He worked for almost 6 years and is very success. Rounsteing created like a jungle catwalk. This collection show displays aesthetic and clear of a brand. Furthermore, I saw those models wear a Sleeves styles such as kimono. bell sleeves,turtle neck, tops transparencies, silhouettes, flare pants, trench coats and ,jumpsuits. The Rousteing show displays 80 looks.Each look I a saw different technique and different style. He creates these garments to think about all types of women who have a lot of variety. Some of the garments are loosened if some women are not feeling confident to wear a tight to the body this is an option to inspire to wear.I like how he added to the garments a combination of all three,and all anchored by a range of wide waist belts. Colors are playing an important part of the show.I like the pallet of colors he used is  olive green, burnt orange , purple,for  this collection he used a snakeskin with bright colors such as green, red ,and blue and I liked how he combined it.Also, I saw textures such as suede and heavy embellishment. While the time I saw the last beautiful dresses.His talk was inspired by the Kardashians. I think Rousteing is the person to encourage young people because when he was little, He suffered issues of discrimination. One of the big issues is bullying. His examples are to encourage to someone have same issue or situation. At his young age, his has the talent to succeed.  Socialized with celebrities influence to be a success. Finally, for those young designers have a dream like him follow that you have and believe yourself.

"In My Wildest Dream

          One of my wildest dreams is travel around the world. Since I was little I used to flipped pages of travel magazines. I was allure with the beauty of nature. But most important I have interested it on Europe I love the culture, architecture, and history.  One of the countries that I was amazed is Paris. In my dream, I see myself walking around the Eiffel Tower taking pictures with my family. Then eat crepes for breakfast. At night walk in the downtown area. Moreover, I fly to Italy. First, I visit vineyards and some wine testing. Also, I saw how to make a wine. Last but least, I visit Amsterdam. and drink the best beer.  After that, I when to Anne Frank House. I admired her courage and she is a true hero to me. Anne inspired me to achieve my dreams and live my life to the fullest.

Gigi Hadid  

    I think all  news , magazines, television, post in social media have really impacted society. Now must of brands influence people by using famous celebrities. Perhaps brands investing to making a magnificent show.Victoria's Secret Fashion Show introduce a popular model like Gigi Hadid. She's the first time to walk the runway in Victoria's Secrets. I think is going she looks beautiful  to wearing garments from this brand. Also, famous singer's like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars. All these singers make line up to singer.This event celebrates this year December 05. Is can be the spectacular show. However, this brand is very popular all always introducing different's styles colors .and are medium cost and quality. Your can effort anyone can buy something from this store. For me, I not can effort high cost and high quality but for this brand, I like the bras and body lotions. If you never try this brand you can pass by and try something.
