              I think the fashion of sag awards is complex because I saw different trends such as  bold brights to wonderful whites. I notice some trends were are classic such as a peter pan collar, suits,  jumpsuits, halter necklines and much more. On this red carpet most of celebrities choose more self-confidence and relaxed type of style . The trends I saw were  many stripes metallic s, rainbow stripes, simply s white, Gothic floral, rainbow brights. My favorite look on this red carpet is Claire Foy. I like her because she took a risk on this dress. also I like the peter pan collar,  the color look of the prints were dark, ghotic, just a touch of romantically style. This dress was created by Valentino, who did  a fantastic job on this gown dress. In addition, No ones image the imply to made this gown dress to care of details of the floral prints.

Wedding Dress from Toilet Paper

wedding Dresses

          The assignment that we got was a wedding dress.Using unconventional materials in our case we can only use toilet paper. The first thing that we thought was  is not possible. My team was of  4 we came up with different ideas.  The first idea was  an avant- garde dress. The second one was a classic dress, and finally the third one was a modern dress.  It took us  time to finally agree in one design.   We were very worried because  this project was one of the biggest challenge for us  to make a fabulous  wedding dress.  Especially knowing that our material was toilet paper pins.  

        

Front of the dress

      It was time to make  the dress we got our materials such as toilet paper, pins, and scissors. We first begin working on the pedals that we put it around the bust area and the neckline area with pins.  Making  the petals  was a lot of work. We even thought that we were not going to finish the project. After we are done with top we began working on the skirt .We cut long pieces of toilet paper  to create layers that will  look like a bottom of a wedding dress.  In my opinion that was easier than the top of dress. After finishing with that mission accomplishing.  My team and I we felt relieved and proud of our work.

     Time to face our critics!  In the day of our presentation we  were nervous because you never know was is going to happen. You do your best work and you like it, but for others it may not look appealing  our they would think is more creative. We begin by talking about Illusion lines  the design process and the struggles that we faced why by the way were many. But our Professor encouraged us to identified a lines, like our dress had diagonal, verticals and curved, That what were doing was different and innovative. Hearing inspired us to work harder and believe in ourselves.

Why do you think color is so important in fashion?

Bright Color Combinations

             I think the color is important in fashion because the color is the first thing people see, it reflects immediately as personality, session, or mood. In fashion, a designer knows how to choose a color because it says a lot about what  inspires the time of the collection. Also, textile designers create new colors for each session. They go from main pallet classic colors, to creating new mixes and creating different colors named with different names. In fact, color influences our lives by creating an outfit from one  of their favorite colors that when they buy a cloth,  they immediately think of that color. Most of the colors produce different reactions when used with different fabrics or combination of colors. For example, wearing a black suit in a wedding represents class and elegance.In addition, choosing a right color can make you feel self- confidence and is your advantage to how you dress.
 

What are 'norms?"Why is it important for an organization or group to have set of "norms"by which they function?

               The norms are rules that can be apply to a job, home, parenting, and school. To have an organization or group is important because it allows individuals to perform a tasks more efficiently. It also helps people to find information or items more easier and faster. Moreover, allows people to work together to follow that agreement. Setting of norms in each section identifies which task is more important in that workplace that makes employees more productive. Also the function of norm is to command certain behavior prescribe of meaning of act. For example, in factory of clothing to set of norms are good standards in clothes and workers. In addition, norms in our lives are important it help us  to have discipline in our daily lives, and teach us  how to behave in certain circumstances

For some professionals, learning to lead others comes with time and practice

              Now a days, "Sustainable Fashion" is been slowly introducing  innovating and  creative fashion, in order to support companies and designers get these products to the market.  Sustainable fashion is not  attracting the attention of consumers because must of products are made  from recycled materials, organics fibers,  and  faux leathers. That would  make a change in our ecosystem. One designer that is well-known for making  eco- friendly products is Stella McCartney. I like how she introduced her products. Stella creates wonderful products and  is very  successful designer of sustainable fashion.  She serves as  a role model for designers who care about protecting our environment and  support sustainable fashion. For my class  we made sustainable fashion so we recycled jeans into drawstring bags that were successful.  To create something that used to be something no one wants anymore is a challenge but we make it work.  In addition, to buy a sustainable fashion product it helps to reduce pollution  and waste.  By doing that  little effort were are protecting our environment.  

Jumpsuit Fashion where it Began

               The jumpsuit is came back fashionable in to 2010-2012. When the fashion runways showed it by designers such as Stella McCartney, Zuhair Murad.  These designers got  inspired in the jumpsuit making modern, and effortless looks. Celebrities like Rihanna, Madonna, and Beyonce made the jumpsuit popular. Now a these days , a jumpsuit is  iconic garment it has been a trend in the last six years. In 1919, the first jumpsuit was invented by Florentine Thayat. During that time T shape was cut from one piece of cotton or African canvas. In addition, the jumpsuit continued to be a popular garment  in the 30s, 50, and 60s.  Thayat was considered it  an universal  item of clothing , a creative do-it-yourself and anti-bourgeois solution: seven bottoms, a belt, a straight cut, a few seams.  The basic model was still the one worn by parachutists, skiers and aviators.

       A "corset"is still popular ever since the victorian era. The best corset were made with steel boning,using a fabric like cotton, which is strong to takes inches of your waistline. Most of women think when we talk about a corset we talk about something vintage. However, who made this garment hundreds years ago is still wearable now. The "corset" is part of fashion and is still seen on the cat walk, lingerie's stores, and gown  dresses. A women like to wear this for shaping, tightly  and proportion. Is using like underwear of special occasion,  like weddings to be on shaping their body. Also, designers to inspiring by this garment. Like last fashion show of Victoria's Secret  by Jeff Fender he's really create extravagant corsets. He's inspiration continue keep this garment on the cat walk. We seem some corsets more modern and feminine. Perhaps, we' re designers is rejecting this garment, is because is uncomfortable for women, they are created a garment to replace it, In addition, a corset is rigid and not flexible is strong undergarment not every women can wear it. Finally, I am like a corset if not can wear but inspire me to to create a dress with the silhouette.

Where do you think designers find their inspiration? What inspires you?

       I think now a days the designers inspiration can be anything. Sometimes spending some time to travel to different places with nature, vintage art, and watching people, they really get the inspiration which helps them create the garments that are shown on the cat walk. Meanwhile, some start to create a sketch book. Once having a main concept on a project, you have to work hard for it to be achievable. In this process, you must be realistic and you also must have plan strategies. The challenge of the process is that you must be focused everyday on what your working on. My inspiration was that I wanted to create a garment that has a delicate and minimalistic look to it. My favorite designers that inspire me is Oscar de la Renta and Coco Channel. They are some legends of fashion. Most of the times when we talk about "Fashion" we think about a new dress or something that is trending. "Elegance comes from being as beautiful inside as outside" said Coco. Appreciate what you have now and be creative to yourself that is what makes you more fashionable.
