The topic I have decided to write about is fashion. Specifically, my life as a Fashion Merchandising student and the outfits I style for myself and my friends! I have chosen this topic because so much of my life is immersed in the fashion world whether it’s seeing an Instagram post about a clothing boutique, having a conversation with a professor, or deciding what to wear in the morning, fashion is always all around me.
To collect video footage I could walk go to class in the AMDT (Apparel, Merchandising, Design, and Textiles) building and record some of what we do in my classes throughout the day. In order to get original photos I could take pictures of outfits that I have styled for myself or my friends. So I can get original audio recordings I will interview fellow Fashion Merchandising students or Fashion Design students about their experiences and what designers and trends they are interested in lately.
In unit 1 I could make a poster for the AMDT department. During unit 2 I could make a fashionable logo to put on my business cards. For unit 3 I want to take inspiration from Glamour Magazine’s What I Wore When podcast and tell a story about an outfit that I wore on a specific occasion that had an impact on me. While in unit 4, I want to videotape what I wear in a week and the way that I style myself.
One of my biggest inspirations is Danielle Bernstein, the creator and mind behind We Wore What. We Wore What is by far my favorite blog and I always gravitate there when I need inspiration. Katie Sturino’s Instagram is another place that gives me inspiration; I love how she recreates celebrity outfits from her closet! Similarly, Danie Sierra inspires me to step out of my comfort zone with what I wear and express myself. https://www.instagram.com/danie.sierra/
