Learning Portfolio Post #4-Introduction to Fashion Studies

I have learned a lot since I have started this class, the Idea of fashion is very different than what I thought it would be. I used to think fashion was all in the same, but there are many different layers when it comes to fashion. I think the most importance concepts in understanding “fashion” is breaking it down into three sections. There is style, fashion, and dress. Style is what you wear, and how you embrace the clothing that you are putting on your body. Fashion is the specific clothing you buy, also fashion connects to the idea of subculture, that means what you are wearing and what specific genre of clothing it is. Dress goes more with the broader idea of class and culture, and like the way people are dressed shows the type of person they are. Also before I took this class I didn’t think of all the key elements that go into style and dress. When watching The True Cost, it really opened my eyes to what the industry is like, and how it should be improved. Also the fashion industry in general is super coat throat, and before taking this class I didn’t learn what it is like to try to pursue, but that being said I learned a lot about what it takes to be in the business and how fashion is more than just a cute outfit, it is about expression and by all means it is a form art and that is something I am going to be taking from this class.
