People feel a great impulse to purchase clothes that reflect themselves because they want people to know who they are. What a person is wearing can tell you so much about them even before you get to know them. Every person is unique and has their own sense of fashion and clothing. What the person chooses to wear can give you hints about what type of person they are or what type of mood they are in at that time. The world is a very judgmental place and the first thing people notice about a person is what they are wearing. We can redefine ourselves simply by changing our shirt or wearing a different pair of shoes.
2. Jones discusses the importance of time as it relates to fashion-why does fashion change and evolve, instead of remaining static and functional?
Fashion does not stay static simply because people want to be different. As said above, all people want to be unique and have their own style and look. If fashion was static then they would not be able to express themselves and differentiate from others looks. Another big factor in changing fashion is popular celebrities and well-known people. What our idols wear has a huge impact on what the rest of the world will wear. Celebrities are always changing their style to keep up with the latest trends and start new ones of their own. This all returns to the idea that people want to be unique and separate themselves from one another. Fashion is one of the easiest ways to do this.
3. Based on the reading, make a checklist of principles to consider when designing a garment.
- Comfort and feeling
- What it is made of-Fabric
- Style of clothing
- Use-When will this garment be used (environment)
- Will it sell? (Trendy? Price?)
- What will others think? (Reflective)
