Fashion is a Usability piece of Art

What is art? Art define in a different meaning for each individual, personally art is everywhere to me, anything with a human creation is art. What is fashion? Fashion is also a creation from a human’s inspiration, so to me fashion is art. However fashion is not just a piece of art to express an artist feelings but it is also a piece of art to be use in an everyday live for a human being. Fashion is art and usability all together.
Fashion is referring as a style for a recent looks a popular modern looks that can be created with different inspirations from a designer. It is more than just art because it can be use to cover a human body with styles. Fashion can be use in many different ways, to express the new trends, to make us more confident or to protect us from a cold weather. Also think of the creation of all the shoes that we wear, our shoes also had become a fashionable accessories items that we use every day. Shoes not only protect our feet but it also gives us more confident, especially for those who are not as tall as model like me, I’m very short. Fashion high heels give me lots of confident, and at least it gives me a few more inches.
Fashion is also use as a logo from different type of organization or it can represent a culture’s style for each country. For example think of the army clothes, and an African costume. Fashion is art, because the processes of creating clothing include thinking of the mind and draw it out as a sketch. Fashion can be the most usable art piece in the art collection.

Inspiration

During Spring Break 2008, I and some of my good friends wanted to do something really nice and something that we never done before. Before Spring Break we been working on a photoshot for Natural Blush, so we decided this time we will make our own dress.
The steps of making a dress for me are really interesting to all of us in a group, because none of us know how to make a dress before. Quan Mai(my best friend) and I decided how we are going to make the dress, first we talks about what dress I like. So our inspiration comes from a famous celebrity /singer from Japan, Ayumi Hamasaki. On her Album “Guilty” she wear a dress which we found out it was made by Dolce Gabbana.

I like it because it gives you the flow looks to it and it will be great in photos, so Quan Mai come up with the sketch and send to me so I can add thoughts to it. When our sketch is done, we made a lot of changes of course.



After that he measured my body, my height is very short so of course we have to add a little extra length to make me looks taller. After the measurement, it’s time for us to shop for the right fabric. We are not a famous designer so our fabrics are very limited, after spending for almost one hour we had picked out our fabric. Once again, our fabric is nothing like the Dolce Gabbana!!





We got the measurement, fabric and all the material for the dress. So Quan drew out the molds to use later and cut the real fabric.

Money and Milly(Two sisters) is also a big help in this project, they help assembly line so Quan can serge the fabric. After all the dress is finished, it looks to good we got to take some pictures of course. This is a really nice experience for me and everyone in the group, and we hope to do this more in the future.
