Introduction
Fashion is creative ideas, concepts, and ways many designers use to express themselves through the garment they create. The fashion industry existed for many years and it has evolved into something even greater today. In the fashion history and modern fashion, many great designers had created many unique garments that fit the zeitgeist or the period of the time. These designers had to understand what people are looking for in term of fashion in order to become successful. The history of fashion is something everyone should learn or know of because it let everyone understands how people dressed and why they dressed that way.
Knowing about the history of fashion and fashion designers relate to my future career in fashion because I have a better understanding of what fashion is and how it started. I learned a about many trends created by great designers like Paul Poiret, Charles Worth, and Coco Chanel that inspired the younger generation designers to followed. After learning about the history of fashion and fashion designers I tend to look for clothing that was inspired by different designer. Also, I was able to learn about how and why clothing was popular for the time period.
Since I was young, I was known for the little girl with pretty dresses in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, I grew up as part of the lower middle class and so my mother never wanting to spend any money on new clothing. But instead of buying new clothing, my closet was full of dresses that my mother has sewn; therefore, I wore them every day. Knowing so little about fashion, I grew up wanting to learn more about it. I always told myself that I will grow up learning how to make my own clothes like my mother. I was inspired by my mother, since then my dream was to open a small store that carries clothing that I had made. Then following my dream into FIDM I have a great opportunity to learn more about the fashion history and how it shaped the world I live in.
The history of fashion inspires me because I was able to look back to see how fashion has evolved over time. It is important because as the economic, political, technological changes the fashion industry also changes to fit the period of the time. I love looking for little concept in the garment that younger generation designer has created that was inspired by designer from many years back. I was pull into the couture clothing that many great designers has hand made themselves because it is interesting to know that they have spent a great amount of time on just one garment. The idea of becoming a successful in the fashion industry motivates me to work harder and do my best to understand more about the world of fashion.
In my designers’ project, I decided to do my research on Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, Narciso Rodriguez, Yohji Yamamoto, and Stella McCartney. These designers has inspired many young generation like myself. Their works has made a great contribution to the society that we lived in today. I believe that these designers will be known for their great creativity in the fashion industry many years from now.
