The photo collage that I’ve created consists of myself, a pair of YSL heels, Versace and forever 21 sunglasses and a quote that states, “ Fashion is an attitude” by Rudi Gernreich. While on the Study Away Los Angeles, California Tour that Kent State University’s fashion school provides, we had the opportunity to visit many high fashion stores and connect with the brand ambassadors. This is where most of my pictures and inspiration came from.
For the revision of my draft collage, I decided to take out the background which was a vogue magazine dress designed by a student at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. There were many critiques made about it being too busy, so taking it out was best for me. I did this by taking a black picture from https://blacklivesmatter.com/ to use as the background. Another change that I made was using the brush tool around the image of myself to make it stand out more. Because the images weren’t lined up correctly, I decided to use the Content Aware Tool on a few photos to make a square out of all of them. By doing this, everything looks more clean.
The story being told is that nothing has to match when it comes to your outfit! You can add different prints, textures, and colors to whatever you decide to wear. I presented this by showing myself and a floral jacket with black biker shorts and heels. I decided to put more heels and different types to sunglasses to show you the many ways of how to go about this outfit. The quotes spoken by Rudi Gernreich speaks volumes to some but I feel as though “Style is an attitude.”
Style is who YOU are! Style is showing others what makes you you and what makes you feel comfortable! Style is your attitude, so own it! The quote was stated in 1966 so maybe fashion back then was an attitude. According to google, fashion is a popular trend and I believe that to be true. Fashion=Trend and Style=personality. Each element in my collage contributes to the overall narrative about my topic because it’s all about FASHION.
