Fashion


For my next topic I have decided to stick with fashion. I have done mine on Alexander McQueen's Spring/ Summer line.

My Text

The Spring/ Summer Womens Fashion Show for Alexander McQueen was designedby Sarah Burton. Some of the elements that I found beautiful/ attractive was that the colours of the outfits slowly became more bold and that the outfits seem to be done in threes, each different but at the same time similar. I like these because the colours make the outfits seem more out there and the shoes are similar on some but different on others.
The value put on this fashion show by society is pretty big. Since Alexander McQueen is a big name in fashion, the pressure put on Sarah Burton would be very big. As many peopleall over the world look at these designs for inspiration for everyday fashion. People would see these designs in magazines, on billboards and in shopping centres.
To me I think the show was made to show how summer fashion can be bold but stylish, and at the same time beautiful. I think that Sarah Burton was trying to capture the colours of spring and summer with a spice of glammer. I thought that she showed how well women can dress and its ok to be bold

 Formal Wear.


For my first topic I have decided to do formal dresses.
I have looked at dress shops online and found many dresses stunning while others not so much. I have seen dresses with a mix of colours, which can be too busy. while others may have a singular colour, but can be too bland.After searching for a while I have found a dress that I would find beautiful.
What elements are attractive/beautiful to you, and why?
The elements that I find attractive is the mirror body piece. It draws attention to it by being so bright. I like how it looks like a rain of silveer where the bodypiece is turning into the skirt. this bit is almost like a firework that exploded into silver sparkels. The white skirt evens out the silver mirror piece, making it bright but calming.

The Text.
Is it important and valued by society?
I believe that the text is valued by society because many people would follow the basic rules of formal attire. Many people wouldn't show up to a formal event in ordinary clothing due to it being frowned on in society. Therefore this is meaning that many people would follow the traditions of Formal Attire.

Where would the text be found?
This text would be found among many fashion magazines around formal time, with things to wear to a formal. These magazines help girls choose which clothes to best wear as to fit in at their function. This may be one of the only places where it can be found other than the internet. Many places on the internet may be fashion blogs.

My Interpretation of the text.
My Interpretation of the text is that being dressed for a formal function can be a difficult thing to do for girls as the have to have a dress that suits society at the time. As long as a dress girls have to find shoes andbags to match their dress so they look even more socially acceptable. I believe that this text tells me that I have to wear what society excepts.

That is what I believe is beautiful.
