For my image I wanted to show a variety of dresses, instead of focusing on just one. The main dress I choose is the one in the middle to the left. It is black, and has this very cool and interesting pattern. The designer of the gown is Laquan Smith. He is a self-taught designer who learned to make patterns from his grandmother. His brand sore when Kim Kardashian wore that black dress. I believe that Laquan was chosen to be in this exhibit because when doing research on him, he came from nothing and made his way up. I feel like we hear stories about people in fashion because they have some sort of connection, and this guy started from the bottom and built his way to the top which I think is super amazing. The fashion industry is extremely competitive and I it is amazing when someone can do it on their own. I believe this whole exhibit was extremely inspiring. I believe that everyone has changed history when contributing their pieces to the exhibit. All of the pieces that I saw all interviewed together, which was super cool. They were all different but they had the same theme. There weren’t just pieces that were from two or three years ago, the exhibit was all the way from the 1950s. This exhibit was also a good way for African American designers to be acknowledged. I believe that sometimes they are not, and underrepresented. Overall though, the exhibit was amazing and I am super happy I had the opportunity to go.
