       When you started to create a collection for fashion show you never think your challenge yourself as a designer. To be success it is the first thing but how you can be possible if you never make a fashion collection. I noticed that you have en front your fears and continue to create the garments. When you develop the collection probably during the process you have to change it can be the colors, fabrics, or the design sometimes it is not appropriated for the model, it not just about you also, other person feel confidence and comfortable and this it can be you client. I think I can make more work but I didn't made Avant-garde look I would like but it is took a lot time to made the look that I made. I feel happy for my peers they amazing job  but honestly I like Karolina's Avant-garde look, she made it she courage  herself to be success. Finally, the day of show If do I don't modeling I am backstage I feel so nervous and exited. I hope continue to create looks and challenge myself.

This fabric is develop in ancient in China, where its use was deserved for royalty, silk remains of "queen of fabrics. However, invented this magnificent method that make huge impact in fashion. Silk have a chain of procedures:egg- worm- leaves soak cherry mulberry. The disadvantage of this fiber is high cost of labor. Other fiber is came from animal is a wool, is very popular in fall and winter. It is because in these sessions the body keeps warm in cold temperature.

                I going to talk about the second dirtiest in the world . No one image it largest polluter is clothing industry, how can be possible but it is. I read an article  when a fashion designer Eileen Fisher sharing her opinion of industry of clothing.  Her opinion she's speaks about companies and big brands they evade this issue in contamination around the world. To introducing natural resources such as organic cotton or sustainable materials, we can say this a smart choice, but still take more than 5000 gallons of water to manufacture a t- shirt or pair jeans. But the is only one percent around the world.  I say her she's right when she says the impact in  ecological in clothing. One thing she mention of  procedures of factories that wasting a lot chemicals in the water. A this point she critics a designers have they name on the garments. Just try to imaging how big chain have fashion industry it is hard to involve. However, in our society we need to buy clothes making more responsible by choosing classical garments and reading carefully the care instructions that way keep longer. In addition, to reduce this issue is a consume responsible buy just what you really need it.

Fashion in the 1950's

Model in Christian Dior
Dress by Balenciaga
             I going to talk about a short story about fashion in the 1950's. During the war II in the 1940's clothing it was markedly rationing and limited quantities of fabrics, needles, and treads. The most popular looks was a simple outfit as little. Once the war II and rationing is ended, a new availability of different types of fabrics and of considerable quantities of these fabrics allowed a new type of fashion bloom during the fifties particularly in the United States.  I think in the 1950's fashion is a kind a dazzling summer day! glamorous shapes, exaggerated with voluminous skirts and tying waist. The beauty of the 1950's era is a "look"that will right any body shape. To understand the clothing of the era, one should understand what was fact going on and how influenced everyone's way in life. the must popular designers at the time are  Christian Dior, Coco Chanel,And Balenciaga. My favorite designer is Cristobal Balenciaga it is because he  had a reputation of master to incorporated a silhouettes of shape any type of women and feel a women feminine and comfortable. In addition, all these economic, social, and cultural changes had a significant impact on clothing, and fashion in our society.

Savers Thrift Store 
              Today I'm going to talk about our trip to "Savers" a thrift store that you can go shopping for lower prices than others department stores. The reason it is more cheap  is because that all items are second hand. Honestly I never been there but the reason I went there because my class of fashion designer had a trip to savers to shop for our project and we had a group for shopping.  Once we came there at the store, the store manager did a tour in the store to show as how they receive the donations, selecting the items and tagging the prices base on some details of the product such as brands, fabrics, embellishments and how looks like 1 to 5, 5 it's good and 1 it's trash. I think he shared a lot information on how they recycled the items that aren't sold.It definitely helps to get rid of the environment of trash. In addition,  you can reuse all items that you shop and just think how big impact you can make just buy it 5 item at month.

Do You Worry Colleges or Employers Might Read Your Social Media Posts Someday?

Image result for social mediaA Beginner's Guide To Social Media For Marketing
A Beginner's Guide To Social Media For Marketing
           Social media  is source of communication of the  21 century that gives it users that opportunity communicate with people around the world.  A post makes a huge impact in our society it could be negative or positive. If posting an image from another person without his/her permission , and  it was done with the intention to get more likes or make fun of the person.  It is considered an invasion if privacy as well damaging that person's image.  I personally think that people should be more aware of what they want to share on social media  because people do not need to know everything  of what that person does daily.  Having pictures that are embarrassing and they are seem as unprofessional  shouldn't  be posting. In order to avoid  having  problems in the future. In addition, If person enjoys sharing his personal life has all the right to do it, and if coworkers see it and make fun of him. He should feel upset and hurt because  he put it for people to see it. Something that I think is unfair is that if a employer has access to that account it could affect the employee's job. Whatever a person shares in social media is should not inferred with his/her job. Sadly it does some people have lost their jobs just for what they share in social media. So, before you make a post think twice  it can have consequences.
