pick and mix:I am who I am!

I would like to introduce myself to people through this project because it is interesting to express myself through fashion design and it is hard to let people to understand me through my design.

 

The story of my life is funny, because every people are misunderstanding who I am and they always think about my personality negatively.

 

My first impression to people who meet me at the first time:

I didn’t say it dramatically, but the first time when people meet me, they always think I am a nasty bad behave who loves night life and get drunk whenever I would like to, even think I don’t have time to study, but I got time to go out with a lots of boys.

People think I am a girl who is lofty manner, rude and hard to get along with. Even they think I am a bit*ch!

 

Actually who I am:

Hilarious, I always talk jokes and I love to share my funny stuff to my friends and my sister said I act like a 6 years old naughty child. I love being silly in front of my close friend and my family.

I such lonelier because I never have relationship with anybody, all my life is just stuck with female so I don’t know any boys, so I also very shy to talk to boys because I not usually meet boys around me.

(forever alone face)

 

I am a shopaholic, shopping has been my biggest part of life, I would lose control when I see the word “SALE”, I would turn to a beast and start crapping all the items at once and ran to other level to search the items that I want to buy ( this is madness)

 

My style;

Slim cut tops, crop tops, tight mini skirt/ short, any clothing makes me look funky and sexy are my type of thing. I hate the cuttings which make me look fat and puffy. If you open my closest, you only can find black, wine red and white clothes. But I like few graphic prints on my tops.

Leather jacket is the items that I cannot live without, because it always make me look fit and stylish when I wear it. I also love super detailing clothes, something like Balmain, Versace and Alexsander Wong.

Mash and sponge fabrics are my favorite in this 2 years, so I will used those for my final design!

I love kpop fashion!

Korean pop:

Korean pop music is become famous around the world, however, what I like to focused on is their fashion are so unique and it’s fashion is totally different from western world and Japan. I have searched some kpop band group outfit and here are my commuted about their outfit and fashion:

Image Source: Soompi.com

I received a request on the Kpop Fashion Facebook page for Bomi’s outfits in Mr. Chu. Their looks are all so lovable! I decided to focus on the outfit with the pink dress that Bomi wore in the shot above. I love how each of the girl’s outfit are a little different in these part of the video. Bomi’s stylist did a very nice job with her dress, I love the detailed lace collar and scarf attachment, as well as the almost body-con style accents on the sides of the dress.

 

Siwon and Kyuhyun looked sharp for their SPAO photo shoot for the Korean clothing brand’s Spring/Summer collection last year. I know this collection is not their most recent, but it definitely is one of my favorites SPAO has had. I am excited to shop this store because 1) their clothes are just awesome. Kyuhyun’s polka dot tie here in this picture and thought to myself, “this could be cute on a guy or a girl!” Men can piece it together with dressy-casual pants and jacket like Kyu is wearing here, and sonyeo can wear it with a similar but more feminine horseback-riding type outfit, or a skirt to get the smart and cute private school student look.

G-Dragon performed his last Mnet M! Countdown  promotion performance for his Coup D’ Etat album this month. Among his wintry wear was the striped mohair sweater, you can see below from Saint Laurent. Mohair comes from the luminous, soft coat of the Angora goat. Although the high quality of this Italian-made sweater is appealing, it’s not the most wallet-friendly purchase.

The Kpop Nature+ Concert in Jeju last September was arranged by the IUCN World Conservation Congress. The fashion show for raising appreciation for the earth’s environment. A celebration of the hosting of the Conservation Congress in Jeju, The K-ECO Fashion Concert roused Kpop fans and fashion enthusiasts alike. Renowned designer Lie Sang Bong was the mastermind of the fashion for the evening. The runway wardrobe was crafted with eco-friendly materials and production methods, as were the outfits of the hallyu star performers of the night.

Frank stella

I found the colour of this artist used on his work has a similar style with Takashi, so I am interest to know more about his work.

I actually don’t know about him as much as Takashi, and I am the person who hate rough drawings and I not a fan of college. I also not quite sure what he try to express the meaning or concept from his college or painting piece. However, his works are very interesting to look at and I could spend 15 minutes just looking the detail line sketches and different pieces of drawings from one big college work.

 

The one thing that I like the most about his work is the way he used the colours, very effective and stunning range of colour tone like he focused on using primary colours so that he could match with different pieces of drawings and mix it to produce his outcome.

The other thing I like about his line sketches are structured. I think he is so good at structure the line into a 3D subject. He draws each line drawings look so different to each other.

Therefore, I would like to use he style on my design garment epically the lines sketches.     

 

Frank Stella is an American who born in 1936, he is painter and printmaker and he live in New York until now, his works are minimalism and post-painterly abstraction.

His work also became more three-dimensional to the point where he started producing large, free-standing metal pieces, which, although they are painted upon, might well be considered sculpture.

he use aluminum as the primary support for his paintings. In the 1970s and 1980s progressed, these became more elaborate and exuberant and used Day-Glo colors and scrawled brushstrokes.

 

"The starting point for the art cars was racing livery. In the old days there used to be a tradition of identifying a car with its country by color. Now they get a number and they get advertising. It’s a paint job, one way or another. The idea for mine was that it’s from a drawing on graph paper. The graph paper is what it is, a graph, but when it’s morphed over the car’s forms it becomes interesting, and adapting the drawing to the racing car’s forms is interesting. Theoretically it’s like painting on a shaped canvas."

 

Takashi Murakami

Takashi Murakami:

 

I am a super fans of Takashi because his paintings are too cute and colourful, every time I see his painting, I feel happiness and exciting and I always make a piggy sound because I am obessed with his adorable skulls drawings. I not just love the way he drawing the objects, I think the reason why he become that popular and famous is because he is genius about the social market like in Asia or even the world, his works always got a lot of likes from teenagers, although some of his works are very sexual. However, he tried to transform them into fun and kawaii style. I also obsessed with his color style, he used a lot of vibrant colous and warm tone colours to add more fun on the drawings. I found so many similar style between hiss’s and graiffiti which also used a lots of colours and colourful, funky skulls, strong contrast.  

 

I choose him as my project because his works has a lot of style which really respected my personality, and he is my top favorite artist , his works are really reflected to my life as full of joy and happy. And when I feel sad of stress, I will look up his work to cam down myself and I would feel happy againJ 

Takashi Murakami (村上 隆, , born February 1, 1962) is Japanese artist. He works in fine arts media—such as painting and sculpture. His style is superflat. His work has been noted for its use of color, incorporation of motifs from Japanese traditional and popular culture, flat/glossy surfaces, and content that could be described as “cute,” “psychedelic,” or “satirical”. His most famous recurring motifs are smiling flowers, iconic characters, mushrooms, skulls, Buddhist iconography, and the sexual complexes of otaku culture.

My detail final garment!

 

 

 

The two grament images above are my final design and because I don’t have enough frabics to make the whole garment and I don’t think I could mannage the time to make a real garment before the dealine.

Both are my final design, however, I will use those design to develop more in the future. It was the first time to follow the insturction from the pattern cutting book, so for me, it was the hardest thing that I make today. And I never do the pattern cutting before. Therefore , it was my very good experimences and practice.

Both are most inspired by the french 18^th centry mens outter wear which you can see the curved shaped and tightness cutting which is very fitted to the womens’ body. I love the way I did the dramatic curved at the hip part and at the back.

I think I did the garments very sucessful because I can see the insprasion from my research, the shape that I create on both piece are standout, I believe that both of the design are wearable in public area or event at night. I speically add more detail to focused at the back.

However, I really hope to have more time to let me get the frabic to make a real garment. And also, I would like to add more detail like poket, sleelves and button to improved the outlooking. Adding bows or ribbun would be a good idea too.

Although I hate the long process to just measureing and cutting the pattern of my garment, however, I learned a lot of things like how to measure the pieces and I feel happy when I join all the pieces together.

In the future I would like to learn more about pattern cutting and search more book about it because being a designer should understand the pattern cut , the structre of the clothes.

Macaroni fashion

Macaroni style transform to womenswear:

 

Habit a al francaise was occur in 1770-1780, the informal frock coat were English, but the French people at that times weren’t say it’s British style, so they had change the style little bit such as they add a lots of decoration.

The coat front curved back slightly, so that the side seams previously cut straight, also curved back thereby bringing the hip buttons closer together at the back.

The hip button used the same material as the coat itself which used as decoration at the top of vents.

 

Macaroni style was start from 1764, it was the name of the young men fashion club which composed of all the traveled young men who dress in high fashion with tall, powdered wigs with a chapeau bras on top. The macaroni coat style is tightness and shortness and seemed obscene.

 

I think the Macaroni style was a bit disgusting to put on menswear because it seem very gay to me, especially they also use tightness cutting with lace and flowered decoration around the neck or sleeves.

However, I think it is wonderful to use on womenswear, I would think of pink silk suit, gold sliver embroidery with plain velvet, also I would like to use lace as decoration. The slim cutting coat would be perfect for the trends in this year.

rococo!!!!!!!!!

Rococo:

 

 

At the beginning of the century, Rococo style actually was transform by the Spanish women’s wear called “VERDUGADRococo style actually was transform by the Spanish women’s wear called “VERDUGADO”.

'Portrait of Madame de Pompadour' 1756

Rococo is probably derived from “caille”, int his style, the funnel-shaped “painers” of the Regency developed into dome- shaped hooped petticoat. The women’s costume has a square neckline and “jupe” and open gown. The sleeves were narrow and reached to the elbows and it has lace flounces.

 

Women were still tightly laced into a corset. Their clothes were decorated with silk ribbon and especially of the fake flowers produced in Italy which made women look like gardens. Large bows on the sleeves matched the echelle on the breast. Lace ruffle was worn around the neck and silk shoes or high-heeled slipper on the feet.  Since lace was the most expensive, but the lace was one of the most popular items in women’s wardrobes during the late 17-18^th century.

There’s no coat in that period for ladies, but the ladies wear fur-lined capes, quilted padded skirts during the cold winter months.

 

Outside official events, French women wore dresses which inspire by English fashion, which they worn extremely wide petticoat.

V&A research: fashion history

By the late 17^th centry the French silk industry was the most important in Europe; it ranged from the production of very expensive and complicated brocaded silks.

 

This mantua is made of patterned Spitalfields silk and it made from 1760s. By this time, it was worn for ceremonies at court. The petticoat is still very wide, but now with sloping sides and worn over a hoop known as ‘fan-shaped’, decorated with a braid of various silks, which was very popular from the 1750s to the 1770s. The bright colours and curvilinear arrangement of the trimmings indicate the Rococo style in dress.

To suitable for gala ball gown the sleeves are furnished with lace under the 3 sleeve flounce.

 

The close-up image shows robe a la francaise dress which belong in 1780, it was the most popular design in Rococo style, The clothing has been designed based on an original cut and thus consists of a stomacher, a jupe and a manteau. Skirt and stomacher were made from the same fabric as the manteau. The latter tapers off in a short beak-shape at the back.

toy museum

Toy fashion:

Here are Jean Charles de Castelbajac‘s recent designs inspired by nearly everyone’s favorite childhood toy products at Lego. The clothes are modeled after Lego playsets and the hats are actual assembled Lego bricks.

Castelbajac’s playful collection depicts childhood, a time when life was full of clouds, rainbows, and Mickey Mouse, in the form of runway fashion. Models wore backpacks, larger-than-life bows, clear plastic, kissmarks, and legos.

His collection makes me remind of Disney characters and Superman such as toy story WOODY and BUZZ,. Apart from the kiddie-inspired graphics and accessories, the design of the garments themselves were constructed as loose fitting dresses, rompers, and tees–perfect for your next playdate…or whatever it is you do for fun these days.

Plastic or any fabrics has plastic effect would be my favorite materials for this project because these could relate to “toy fashion”. Using the thick cotton/ kids soft tower also can relate to soft toy/ teddy bear, I am very interested to make fluffy ball which made by bright colour yarns such as bright pink, bling bling purple and light blue etc…

 

Let’s girls to be Girls!

After I researched the articles about the child sexualisation in media and given opinions and express my feelings about all of this disturbing topic. I have a lot of thought and feeling to those it.

I think we should take an action to response the issue that kids are over sexualized, to teach them that being a children is not a shame and we should proud to be innocent and childish.

In Japan, there has a style called “Decora” favors bright colors, flamboyance and accessories from head to toe. You decorate yourself with plastic toys and jewelry, and it's not uncommon to have so many that you can hear them click together when the person moves. I would love to design my clothes with this style to relate my concept. I love to work with vibrate colours , but I would also try to use “Macaron colous” which gives a soft looking that I could think of naïve and cute.

 

I like the layered tulle party frock with cartoon style minni mouse bodice and sportier jersey separates featuring hand drawn Warhol inspired linear all over print.

                                           

Flowing skirts and princesses style dress would be my main design elements, Mash would be the perfect fabric for making flowing and layering effect. 

All my feelings about the child sexualisations:

I find beauty pagents for adolescent girls disturbing, we shouldn’t be sexualizing young girls with tight revealing clothing and “glamour shoot” make up and hair. It is important to girls to able to speak about themselves what they good at and what others are good at

 

Child sexualisation in the Media would allude to their childhoods are missing and taken away from the children.

The girls such a young age should be out being creative and imaginative, and when they focus on being sexy women it takes away learing opportunities. It also takes away learning opportunities. It takes away the beauty of the childhood!

 

Therefore, I think that entire media culture should not be raising these children to think sexualization is healthy and nothing wrong with them! Kids need to have languages and understand what is in the media has been altered by allots of different vehicles.

It is important to tech girls to feel good about themselves, you cannot be cutting yourself down. We have to watch the negative terms we refer to. Also, to able to speak about themselves what they good at and what others are good at. Because it is important to teach girls to feel good about themselves, you cannot be cutting yourself down. We have to watch the negative term we refer to.

Those girls’ parents setting up their child with wrong beliefs and attitudes and shouldn’t support their children using bras, make up or even diet, these are for the older generations.

Parents should be more showing their child when dressing them.

 

 

Child sexualisation in the media:

Today, I reviewed how the media can in some cases cause damage to our cultural and social values by unhealthy aspects. I deiced to pick the topic of child sexualisation in media as my main political issue.

 

I had read a old new about a girl whose mother had bought her liposuction and boob job vouchers for her birthday, but the problems was the little girl was 7 years old.

I feel it is very disturbing and upset about it. The mother was setting up her childhood with the wrong beliefs and attitudes ,espically as in the artic she said that” it is good kids worry about their looks.” This made me feel angry and disappoint with her mother. If I was the girls’s mother, I would have tried to keep her at a distance from world of plastic surgery and allowed her to live a normal 7 years old life in which she goes to the park, plays with dolls, like to draw, not introducing her body issues and make up.

 

Vogue showed 10 years old French girl Thylane Blodeau who is wearing heavy make up and also wearing clothes which are clearly not aimed at her age. She is looking at the camera in a very  seductive manner, this is disgraceful for a girl of 10 years old to be subjected to this kind of behavior.  

 

I think to stop child sexualisation is for there to be law stating that children under 16 are not allowed to be shown in sexualized such as beauty pageants and photo shoots. Parents should be more aware of how they are showing their child when dressing them.

 

The sexualization od young girls

The sexualization of young girls:

 

The sexualization of girls is happening earlier because of marketers for children, reality shows and expositions of “true beauty” through child beauty contests. Shows like Toddlers and Tiaras are just one way self image for girls is influenced.

 

The sexualization of girls is happening ate younger and younger age as children, even toddlers are bombarded with a plethora of adult influences and perceptions.

 

80% of 10 year old girls in the US report they have been on a diet, The study also reported the NO.1 wish for girls from the ages 11-17 is to be thinner. They being raised to think this is healthy. The entire media culture should not be who id raising these children.

 

The researchers did a study about the self- sexualization:

There are 68% of young girls who would like to be sexy because they think they would be more popular if they dress sexy.

 

 

 

 

Judge people the way they look, religious, their colour, their views, Why women judged by their looks before their intelligence?

It's because most people are really insecure about themselves. So they figure if they can judge you then they can feel better about themselves. I was always taught treat others how you would want to be treated yourself And I live by that. I also say I am never going to see you again in life so I do not care what you have to say. And if you can not say something nice DON'T say it at all.

 

We can only change what's on the inside of our skin, and I believe some people judge others because they are only insecure about themselves. They try to find the negative in others to make themselves feel better. They are the ones' that need to work on themselves, and learn how to spread more positive energy.

I think that it is not superfici to judge someone by the way yjey dress or they look, because the way someone dresses can say a lot about a person. As well as their taste and personality.

And we don’t need anyone’s affection or approval in order to be good enough. When someone rejects or abandons or judges you, it’s not actually about you. It about them and their own in security and needs and you don’t have to internalize that.

The way in which you dress is a choice, defined you as a person. Much as my diet, decision to exercise, job I choose, music I listen to. All speak to who I am.

EVERY INCH OF YOU IS PERFECT TO THE TOP!

Is it ok for women to be sexualized by Society?

Sexually entitled men sometimes feel like it’s alright to leer at women, make sexual advances to them at work, sometimes even blaming women for being sexually attractive.

 

Because we think it’s normal. It’s normal to over look the female orgasm. It’s normal to judge women’s bodies on appearance. It’s normal for women to “let” guys sleep with them.

 

I believe that there are some women wants to look like that for sexual reason. But if it’s more to just look their best, as long as she does not take it too far. Because people should respect each other, not just judge the way they look.

“Never stop being a woman and never allow yourself to be up tight” she said. I totally agree with this because no one can stop you to be yourself. You have freedom to be who you actually are!

 

Women can be sexy where they want to be and still has a right to be treated with respect. Sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of, but it’s risky outside, so I do suggest that don’t dress overly sexy in public with no one (at pubs/bars or mid night)
