              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.

              The "silk" is a fine, soft, lustrous, strong fiber produced by silkworms which is came from the protein in making cocoons. Silk is consider a natural fiber because it comes from silkworms. The method of making silk consist; when a female silk moths lay their eggs, a single moth may produce hundreds of tiny eggs, which are incubated until hatch into larva. The larva must kept warm and feed with mulberry leaves. It is require  to monitor and feed the silkworms constantly. The efforts  result in small amounts of threads. Once the raw silk wound onto wheels. Silk can be treated to remove roughness left raw or dye. People have continuing using this ancient method  of silk production hundreds years ago. China is the country that began the silk manufacturing process.   In addition, the  person who discovered this textile has  left a great treasure.

The "Corset"

Model and New Victoria's Secret 

       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.
