Fashion Week: Who,What and Wear...

Fashion Week:

Recently I have seen all over the internet the rave over Fashion Week. I knew that Fashion Week consisted of designers showing their new collections to the public, but I didn't know where the idea came from. 

In this website you can get a brief History on Fashion Week. Enjoy!
A Brief History on Fashion Week

Here are a bit of my favorites for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2015:

  Chanel always keeping their classic style but always vamping it up with different prints and textures. 

Chanel not just making great clothes but standing up for a great cause.


And lets not forget our street style.

Blog 5: Mentorship Reflection

Research

1. Mentorship Question:

          I think getting your foot in the fashion industry especially at a young age  is hard but not impossible. I am still on the look out for a fashion mentor that can help me with all of my questions I have on the fashion industry. I do have contact with my last fashion mentor but I have to catch up with her to see if she is still up to continue her help.In the other hand my art mentor has been there since the start to help me out with any questions I throw at her and helps me by showing me a bit of what she does and who she is in the art community.

2. Research Question:

      So far my most important articles have been The History of American Fashion and What is Art by Leo Tolstoy. I really wanted to know the  history of american fashion and what has brought us so many types of styles and fabrics. It gave me the info that I needed without being too over whelming with information. Meanwhile Leo's work makes me question what art is and what beauty is theses are the two questions he has slightly mentioned so far.. It has given me an incite to the questioning that many philosophers have asked themselves and that would be What is considered art and what isn't ?
