Daisy the queen of hats!

My grandmom, the qeen of hats, Daisy. She does it all, meaning my grandmother is the fashion trend. Everything she wears is always fashionable even down to a nightgown. Maybe thats wear I got my taste of fashion from. Daisy! you got to love her. My grandmother never wears pants, she doesn't even own a pair of pants. She is such a role model to me.

You know the older ladys that go to church with the big hats and you can never see past to the precher, well that's Daisy. She has every color hat and shoe to match you can ever think of. Not only that but all of her sisters are similar to her also. When I am older I tend to be just like her the hat and fashion queen.

My first Creation

Senior project presentation is almost near of course as you know I am presenting a fashion show. I am making all of my clothing and majority of the accessories from scratch and my first creation which is a tutu is complete. I thought it was going to be hard making it but it wasn't at all. Just 3 steps, sew, pull, then I'm done. I had two helpers who are both of my models Erica and Justin. (Thanks) each tutu took about 15 Min's. I am going to making various colors to match my rock star scene. I can't wait I'm so excited to put every thing together and strut my skills.

Vic Levitan's visit

Yesterday during the meeting that I came late to beacause I had had, Vic Levitan talked alot about ideas for our senior presentation. I learned that i now have to really start planning everything out carefully and quick because timeis getting short. Something else I learned which would benifit me and my presentation is to leave time at the end for anyone who may have questions. I would of have never remembered to do that. I also have to test out my visual project before presenting and remember to invite and give big thanks to my sponsor and mentor.

Senior Project!!!

April 9th, 2009
Dear Mrs. Carroll,


I chose senior project to get a feel of my future career in fashion. I figured if I can get an early start in what I want to pursue my career in, why not start now. My presentation for senior project is so far coming along well. I plan to put together a fashion show of fun themes, clothing and accessories. What makes my presentation unquestionably unique is that I will be presenting every thing that I have made throughout the year from scratch. I have been working very hard with the help of my sponsor, my mentor Ms. Clark and Mrs. Porter my fashion and design teacher to make my presentation worth while. One big project that I have started working on which will appear in a part of my presentation is a paper dress that I have started to make out of newspaper. Right now it is a working process but in time, it will be impressive.


By creating this project, I will prove to myself that I am able to complete high standards that I set for myself for example, making a paper dress which is not simple. Doing research on exactly how to make the dress would also give me more knowledge about fashion and the fashion industry. No one can really help me complete this project but myself. They are my ideas and creation so I think I would be best at determining how to put the project together. I will receive great ideas and suggestions from my peers and people who do support me but overall I have to complete this project myself. I am ecstatic to see how my senior project and presentation will turn out. My own actual fashion show put together all by me, I’m so anxious.


Sincerely,

Finding a hairstyle for prom

Finding the perfect hairstyle for prom is not an easy thing yo do at all, especially when you are attending three different proms! You have to find the right style to match your dress and also make sure you can wear it for prom weekend. Depending on the type of dress your wearing, you can wear an up do hairstyle,long curly hairstyle, or even straight. One type of dress I am wearing to prom is very unique. I was thinking about wearing long curly hair something that Tyra Banks would wear in rip the red carpet. That's exactly what I am going to do for this years prom Rip the Run Way. So watch out girls!!!!!!!!!

Famous quote from Coco Chanel part 2

" Fashion is not something that exist in dresses only, fashion is in the sky, in the street, it's a person personality, fashion has to do with ideas, art and the way we live and what is happening."
-Coco chanel

This quote by Coco means alot to me and it is also true. Fashion is everywhere and made with everthing. Like for example a paper dress. You can get ideas from anywhere to create fashion. Coco Chanel really nip it in the butt when she stated this quote. It all depends on the type of person wearing the creation and how you work it. For my preoject, I am looking for models who are outstanding and unique to model my clothing beacuse i am expressing and that is the type of person I am.

Last Friday

Last friday I went to see my sponsor Mrs. Sheila and she encouraged me the most ever. She gave me all types of ideas to start on my senior project presentation. She brought to my attention things I have never even dreamed about doing, or should I say making. Mrs Sheila has been such a big help and inspiration to me from the first time we meet. I can't wait to see her next week. Maybe she can show me some pictures of fashions shows she has been to. I am almost ready to gather clothing for my senior project presentation and start creating unique styles out of them. The way I am feeling right now I know I am goiing to do good.
