March Extra Blog: Let's Show you How it's Done

Recently as part of Fashion Club we were invited to go to  FIDIM'S Debut 2015 Los Angeles Fashion Gala.
Here is the intro for the show.
FIDM DEBUT Runway Show 2015

After this video played we got to see the first part of the show which incorporated graduate students who worked on Theater Costume.
The shows they worked on ranged from "Hey, Dolly!'' to"Fiddler on the Roof"
Here are some examples:

Next after the theatrical showcase came a presentation that they did last year as well. And that was combining interior, fashion ,and textile designers to come together and create a cohesive fashion and chair design.
The textile would work in making the pattern and fabric, fashion designer would create a garment and finally the interior designer would create a chair from scratch.

Chairing Styles graduates work.

Finally came the presentation of the rest of the graduates. They created a whole collection from scratch. Before the presentation of each designer there would be a video on how they got their inspiration and what making their line meant to them.

My favorite was by: Marly Kluge

     She did lots of bold,bright colors that really made her stand out from the rest of the designers.

Overall it was a lovely show that showed the talent of the  designers.

Blog 17: Answer 3

E.Q:


What most justifies fashion as an art ?
Answer #3:
Fashion is an art, because they are both showcased in the same matter. Art galleries and runway shows both serve for the same purpose, to showcase pieces of a collection. 


Details that support my answer:


 Department stores are an example of a type of "showcase". It is mostly for a mass audience.
Runway shows showcase clothing pieces to a private audience.
Models can either showcase the clothing through walking on the runway or installations.

Concluding sentence:

At the end of the day fashion is another kind of art, since it is a way of expression, its a view on lifestyle, and is even showcased like any other art form.
