FASHION SHOW

     Wow this brought me out of comfort zone more than any assignment we have done yet this year! Or more than any assignment I have ever done before period. BUT it was so much fun!!! My group and I went to the thrift store together to compile some pieces together to create three cohesive outfits. When Grace said she had wigs that resembled those in the movie, we were all sold on wearing them with our outfits. The central idea of our fashion was the use of plastic bags and recycling. I took an old pair of ripped jeans and attached plastic bags in the holes of them. One of the plastic bags says, "reduce reuse recycle" so I positioned that so that you can read it on my jeans. We also tied plastic bags around the belt looks like a belt, and attached them to our hooped earrings. I also thrifted a mesh orange undershirt that I layered with a high mock neck top. This top was obviously inspire by Leeloo. The orange was always incorporated in her looks, so we each made sure our outfits had orange in them. Also, I noticed a high neck in her white outfit so I thought the top I layered over was perfect. Gaby, Grace, and I had so much doing this project together. 

Now, for watching everyone else, WOW i was so impressed! I love how everyone used different elements from the film The Fifth Element and got super creative with it. My favorite outfit was Jess's. I would totally wear that. I also loved Evan's group and how cohesive those outfits were. Watching the fashion show was just as fun as creating these outfits. I am thankful for this opportunity to tap into my creative side!

Final Thoughts: Hon 255

My final thoughts on this course:     Overall, I really enjoyed this course and love how Professor Echeverry pushed each student out of their comfort zones. A room full of majors like biology, psychology, marine science, political science, etc. and our professor had us putting on fashion shows. I also liked how we were assigned many group projects. This allowed us all to collaborate and bring each other's creative sides out. My favorite assignment was the Interstellar project. That was my favorite movie we watched by far, and creating that video was a lot of fun too. I liked using this class as an escape from the more boring and exhausting science courses I am used to. I loved having Professor Echeverry as a teacher: he always kept things real and interesting and opened my eyes to a lot of things I would have never even thought about before. His assignments were always different and creative, and in turn required us to be different and creative as students. Thank you for takin...

The Fifth Element & Fashion

 Fashion in the Fifth Element     Given our assignment to create a unique fashion show based on the fashion of the film, I decided to take strategic notes on different styles we see in The Fifth Element.  First of all, Ruby Rhod has the most iconic cheetah outfit ever. I love the feminine look on a man, which was kinda ahead of its time. His outfits are all extreme statements which I love. The futuristic cheetah look he's giving here is everything.  I absolutely love the stewardess looks in the movie. The adorable hat with the cute bob and bangs. The sleek yet sexy look it portrays. Now Leeloo's fashion is iconic as well. The bright orange is always incorporated into her looks. The same bob with bangs as the stewardess.  I like the high-neck look, and I own a lot of high neck tops as is, so I am thinking of incorporating this element into my own fashion piece when we do the fashion show. We'll see!

Christian Dior: Research

       Christian Dior was an extremely impactful French designer who came to rise after the World War II. I chose Christian Dior to research because I have to do a presentation for my French class on an influential person in French culture, so I wanted to explore my options and start to analyze Dior and his life. Something I found very interesting about Dior is how controversial of a designer he was. When his styles started to gain major popularity, it was right after World War II when resources across the board were limited. Dior's designs required an excess of fabric, so a lot of people did not like him and thought he was selfish and inconsiderate. This, however, did not slow his rise to fame.      I wanted to specifically take into consideration Christian Dior's "New Look" collection of 1947: his debut solo launch. This collection specifically intrigued me because it was essentially the start of the huge fashion empire that Dior began. His focus wit...
