Wild Card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the seventh blog and i am sooooooo excited! I am going to talk about what fashion is and how i can predict when fashion is coming. For example, jeans are always in and they are always in style. People wear them daily and have always been a style icon. For this season, high low skirts have been in style. Some people like them and some people hate them so it depends on what kind of style you have. I think that they will look good on short people because they have shorter legs and its shorter in the front so it will illongate your legs and make your torsoe look longer. I have seen the high low design in prom dresses and i think it looks good.  Another example is crop tops. I think that they will be in during the summer but sometimes they can look not good because people dont wear shirts underneath them. Those are basically all my examples and i think that some look good and some don't.

How can you make a difference?

If i were to start a non profit organization it would be so that kids can create and design fashion pieces and their own work but for no cost. I would provide everything to materials, sewing machines,  and it would be in a safe environment. There are a lot of kids that dont get the chance to design clothing and use their self expression because they dont have the money or they dont have any way to get there. This would be an after school acvtivity so more kids can join. This would be using fashion to raise awareness because kids would want to do this but it wouldnt cost anything. My mission statement for this organization would be that you don't need to have money to have a good time. My target audience would be younger children and little kids. But really anyone can do this because its mainly for all age groups of kids. To publicise my organization, i would put up posters around the school and make some announcements. I think i could make it work because it would be for the kids and i wouldnt just be doing it for myself.

If I were a stylist....

Alexandra Suzanne Greenawalt is a fashion stylist in New York City. http://alexandrastylist.com/

My name is Nicole Mullen. I am a fashion stylist and i work with celebrities and other people as well. I have a lot of experience with styling other people. The first appointment we will go into the city and shop together and pick out your style and what you like to wear. I need to know what you like to wear on the everyday basis and also for fancy parties and your type of color pallette. If you are not able to go out to the city, then we can talk over the phone and plan out what you like. Also, another option would be to meet at my offices and you can bring pictures to show me your personal style. Sometimes I like to get you out of your comfort zone and into other colors that you don't normally wear. I have different packages that I offer that are all different prices. I have a party package that is 600 dollars. There is a Red carpet package that is 900 dollars. Then there is the normal one that is 500 dollars. I am in very high demand, so if you want my sevices you must tell me right away and if i don't answer then you can reach my assistant.

For Miss Harris, I would choose very simple comfortable clothing because she is a nanny and a teacher. I would choose a very simple color pallette and also reccommend the normal package for her. I think that alot fo things go good with pearls but i also think that she should try other pieces of jewerly too. When she has dark hair i would choose a soft light color pallete and then for light hair she should wear darker colors.

Controversial Fashion Ads

The ads was controversial because they try to sell things with sex appeal and sex. Some of the ads tried to sell with the models being sexual and trying to catch the buyers eye. I think that sometimes this is okay if its not too sexual but, if its like a department store where alot of different ages shop, i think that would be too innapropriate. No, i dont agree with the controversy because i think they should keep it clean. Especially if other younger ages are going to see it, that could be a bad influence. I think the designer could of got regular designers and just done simple, fresh, clean clothes and not too much skin showing. To be fashion foward, i think people need to think outside the box and have different and unique ideas. If everyone came up with the same idea, then there would be no personality or originality. To get the word out about my clothes, i would do billboards and commercial ads and everything.
