Salut Mes Amis!!!
Ohhh boy. The month of April has been work-filled. Being a high school junior is hard work. I have ACT testing this week, synchronized swimming show this weekend and a parade to march in on Saturday morning. Straight up crazyness. But hey, being active in my community is a good thing. Two weeks ago, I had my student fashion show at my high school. Overall, it was a total success. All the looks were well put together and the designer pieces were beautiful. Even my parents came to the fashion show to see my dress.
About my dress: My dress was made completely out of newspaper. It was painted/splatter painted with black and yellow arcylic paint. My inspiration for this dress was MGMT's song Time to Pretend, which talks about the rock n'roll lifestyle and the pains of growing up. I actually came up with the vision of this dress as I was listening to this song. The dress has two straps and a sweetheart neckline. The skirt part of the dress has two slits on the side. My model wore black fishnets, black silver- studded boots, black jean vest, a black cross and black oval sunglasses. BLACK. BLACK. BLACK. My model also sported wavy hair to finish the complete look. The picture of my model on the runway is above.
Overall, I am complete happy with the outcome of my dress. Alot of tears, fears and hard work went into making the dress. I am proud of my design and my dress. At the end of the fashion show, the designers got to walk out at the end. Seeing people clap and cheer like that for fashion is a great feeling. I can get use to that feeling for the rest of my life.
Well enough of my fashion-based rant. I've got to go.
Later Fashionistas...and remenber one thing for me.
do what you love and love what you do.
