CHARLIE AND MY CHAPLIN

Who would have thought that a kid who once dreamed of becoming a Doctor one day, is now academically studying Fashion (Clothing Technology) and is critically analyzing and developing his own Fashion sense? Well yeah, funny how it all started by just watching his own Fashion Icon.

I Am My Clothes

This just in! Tomorrow's the end of the world and it's your last chance to dress nicely, would you risk it? Well, if you ask me, I would definitely risk it! Life is too short to wear boring clothes anyway. 

Feminine and Modest

"Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire," 1 Tim. 2:9

Man are created in the image of God, so as women. What we do and wear in our body reflects the one who made us. People look at us and judge us through what we wear. We are to be careful in what message we want people to perceive in our clothing.

In All Honesty

To be honest, I still do not know what would be my signature look in the future when I become a designer. I do not know whether I would be successful in this field considering that I have a lot of competitors. 

Multiple Personality

I personally admit that I have so many contradicting personality on its extreme level. I'm an extrovert and geeky girl with a radical point of view. I'm a model, a natural sciences lover and an activists.

I don't know how I want to be perceive by other people or how do I want my clothing to say. But normally, I just go with the flow. I adjust on the environment that I am in. Like what the famous quotes says "When you're in Rome. Do what the Romans do." Just simple as that.

I'm a very outgoing, vain, and confident person when I'm in the modeling industry. I like how it brings the best in me in the limelight. Of how my clothing makes it even more effective in terms of my productivity. Another is when I'm the geeky mode and I just feel like wearing whatever is comfortable so that I wouldn't be thinking too much of a hassle. Just to wear it simple with my glasses on. I am ready to conquer the world. Lastly, I myself being a self-proclaimed activist, I believe that what I wear for me would affect the way the people would interact with me. This time I wouldn't want to of course intimidate other people because I am with them in belief and in action.

Whatever that I stated above is far more just going around the bush. The point really is, I wear clothes depending on the people I belong with. Weather you are from the lowest class the the highest class I know exactly how to make them comfortable and that is the silent language that the clothing is creating to each one of us.

FASHIONMONGERS(\fa-shǝn-man-gǝr-\:) We Study

Our Fashion sense has evolved. Today's Fashion is greatly influence by modernity, mostly affected by mere egg-headedness and Technology. People everwhere strives to look good and present themselves stylishly; whichever class they belong to. We often here "Oh my! Angelina (Jolie) looks gorgeous. I wanna be like her!" "Hey, Sara Jessica's (Parker) undoubtedly hot! Wish I have her clothes. How old is she? Do you know?" "Darn! I love lana del Ray's hair." "Johnny's (Depp) nailing his suit!". We easily get inspired by these people we see on television, internet, magazines, and advertisements.

Clothing Technology; Shaping The Society

Before CT 11 started we've all been wondering about the significance of our degree program. It is always a struggle to explain to people on how we can contribute to the society as a member of the academe. It's hard to justify something that you do not clearly understand.

I believe that after a few lessons that we've tackled from our CT 11 class we've finally understand the importance of our field of studies. That the course is important in shaping a society.

Behind A Clothing

            Behind every clothes we wear is a very broad story of people, concepts and analyzations. A clothing can speak of a person's personality, social status, age, gender, and so many more. A person is first judge in his or her appearance, so it is important to consider what to wear.
            Clothing is also seen as indicator of a particular group, which can communicated to everyone through many ways. As a kpop fan, I can be identified being one by the way I dress because I often style my clothes the way koreans do. For some, I can indentify a person who loves dancing by the loose and flowy clothes he or she wears.
            Clothing may be identified as a basic need, but for many it is more than that.

To wear is human: a brief debriefing of why people wear clothes.

According to the Book of Genesis,  during the prelapsarian time, the first male and female, namely Adam and Eve, were “naked and not ashamed”. This suggests that both Adam and Eve were in an established state of primeval innocence prior to their departure to a state of guilt and knowledge or the so-called “Fall of Man”. When they disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they immediately felt ashamed and realized that they were naked. Upon knowing that they were not clothed, they soon sewed fig leaves together so as to cover themselves.

Fashion -A Story Of The Past, Present, and Future.

After three weeks of discussion, I realised that Fashion is not just about "what's in" and "what's out" this season; rather it is a storyteller. Fashion tells the story of the past, the present, and a glimpse of future. We have a mental picture of what was the lifestyle, the kind of environment, political association, power of gender, and status of the people in the past through paintings, portraits, and fashion illustrations. Fashion gives us the power of imagination. Today, fashion carries the different stories of different people. It gives us the power to communicate without saying a word. And in the future, Fashion would help the people to reminisce what they were like, where they've been, and their experiences.

A story of the past, present, and future.
