Fashion is a lifestyle; it is a form of self expression. It allows women and men to become a walking piece of art and to be visually attractive. To appreciate fashion, one must have knowledge of the many cultures and eras in which it has emerged. It also involves knowing the dynamics of fashion; how it evolves through bringing back old styles, but altering them to fit the current and modern age.
All of my life I've been fascinated with fashion. It began with inspirations, those that came from images and people which evoked me. I've always aspired to be in the spotlight behind the scenes of the art to share my ideas. I used to fantasize about working for prestigious fashion magazine companies, or seeing my name credited as a stylist for a fashion photoshoot. When I was a young girl, I used to sneak into my mothers closet to play dress up; slipping into oversized dresses and strutting down the hallway with high heels that would be stuffed with socks so that they would fit just right. The dreams in role playing from my childhood have moulded me into the person I am today.
I am currently employed as a Visual Merchandiser at Forever21 where I style mannequins and create floor sets based on current fashion trends. During my pastimes, I participate by wardrobe styling in photoshoots and hair shows both independently and with professionals. I hope to expand my experience within the fashion industry in order to demonstrate my passion and creativity.
Style is the dress of thoughts and, like a well-dressed man, a well-dressed thought looks much better/ makes a much better impression
