Ethnic influences on Apparel Design.

Ethinicity definitely influences Apparel Design. The reason being is that alot of Ethnic groups are very well accustomed and entitled to the way their culture and or ancestors present themselves. Fashion changes within a broad cultural context. Culture is the primary influence that depicts what type of clothing is worn besides the media. These influences aren't always seen directly but are also expressed through material and behavior. Today western dress have become very influential on how we dress. Ethnic dress is designed to make an identity for a person while being able to distinguish them from other groups. This includes borrowed items from other cultures. Creativity, individuality and variety is observed. With this being said, designers are observing what people are wearing and are designing it so all cultures can wear this.

Organic Clothing

In textiles class is where I was first introduced to organic clothing. Before she recently introduced our class to this concept I had never heard anything about it or known of. When I first heard the term ; first thought popped in my head was clothing made for elderly people, to be honest. However learning about it and doing this recent research about it I don’t see the harm in wearing it for attire.
The benefits of organic clothing are actually beneficial when it comes to a lot health issues that cotton does have. Organic clothing is very helpful when it comes to saving our environment. Organic clothing does not feature toxins or synthetic fertilizers. Organic clothing is used to create a variety of clothing—everyday clothing. I think we should support organic clothing by wearing it more.

my favorite designer.

my upmost favorite designer is coco chanel. this would be my favorite designer because i am inspired by her story. when coco was eighteen ; she started working at a local tailor. she had no intentions of this being her starting point of an legacy. while working at the tailor she introduced the town to her outstanding skills. after that she beginning designing her own hats ; and later opened her very own shop.
chanel's business went out of business ; and this never discouraged her. her not giving up ; was a bit of inspiration. her collection for women today features true elegance as it still exists. in my own opinion i think this collection stands out from other designers. even as she is gone her business still stands as successful.
