    This can best be seen through the influences of Michael Jackson and Madonna which were revolutionary, yet reminiscent of the 50’s. During the 50’s, a Lieberman-owned company, Algy Trimmings Co., utilized mylar and brought about a short-lived resurgence in sequins. Michael Jackson revived the sequin once again during his performance of “Billie Jean” in 1983. During this performance, Michael Jackson featured both his famous single gloved hand style and the first appearance of the moonwalk making this one of his most memorable performances in history. Later that year he again revived a famous 50’s icon: the red leather jacket worn by James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause. While Michael Jackson maybe one of the most famous pop culture icon, he wasn’t the only one borrowing styles from the 50’s. In her music video for “Material Girl” Madonna brought back the Marilyn Monroe look from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. This chic look consisted of a strapless, pink evening gown with matching long gloves, adorned with a lavish diamond necklace and earrings similar to Monroe. People obsessed over these new fashion trends and focused on their fashion as an escape from facing the serious issues; however, people can’t avoid their fears…

    (Choose a garment, which can be used to discuss fashion from the point of view of the consumer. This garment must be able to demonstrate how the consumer individually constructs their identity and conveys that identity through the style and styling of clothing. You should treat this garment as an object as a form of evidence, which can help you to explain theories of fashion discussed in the sessions. The intention of your analysis is to examine the ways in which we can ‘read’ objects and images, understand their meanings and explain them in the context of broader theoretical and social concerns. You should aim to be as analytical as possible. You may want to use further objects or garments or examples within your presentation to help to explain your ideas though only 1 object should be your main focus. You can either use the actual object or use images and films to analyse and discuss your findings. Therefore your essay should be supported by ideas from readings and books as well as the objects and images themselves.)…

    Some nights I dream about Michael. He’s coming home from college for christmas break and he’s brought a girl with him. Our family is sitting at the dinner table and he’s giving my sister’s new boyfriend a hard time. He’s sitting in the audience, whooping and hollering as I walk across the stage and receive my diploma. Other times, he’s standing in a waiting room, introducing my sisters and me to his little girl. I dream about all of the moments my family and I never got to have with him and my heart breaks every single time. Michael has been gone for almost 16 years and yet he is still with me every day. I dream about him and what could have been; what should have been. Michael’s death teaches me something new almost every day. I have learned what loss is, how to deal with it, and how to grow from it.…

    I am interested in the fashion branch, especially to work with textile and making forms on the human body. However, I am even more attracted to the more timeless branch to textiles. The fast production and the “no-time to waste because then this fashion is out”, what is made by the big fashion concerns is what i do not like in fashion. This does not correspond with the current trend of a sustainable world. I think the focus is fashion should be on protection, functionality, sustainability, quality and advanced capability of cloths.…

    Textiles are defined as the yarns that are woven or knitted to make fabrics. The use of textiles links the myriad cultures of the world and defines the way they clothe themselves, adorn their surroundings and go about their lives. Textiles have been an integral part of human daily life for thousands of years, with the first use of textiles, most likely felt, dates back to the late Stone Age, roughly 100,000 years ago. However, the earliest instances of cotton, silk and linen being to appear around 5,000 BC in India, Egypt and China. The ancient methods of manufacturing textiles, namely plain weave, satin weave and twill, have changed very little over the centuries.
