ASA 141
Week 11
Throughout this quarter I have learned a lot about fashion, a topic I never really had to learn because of my major and also a topic I never really thought about. However, fashion is something that I love whether it is seeing how different cultures impact fashion or even how people match up pieces that fit well towards a certain theme or even what people wear for casual wear, street fashion, and even to dress up. This quarter was very eye-opening to me seeing that I did not know much about how fast fashion made exploit overseas workers and is environmentally disastrous. Now, that I have taken this class and learned so much about this aspect I'll definitely think twice before going into Forever 21, H&M, and even Nike. This is something I can also spread awareness to the people around me because just like how I once was, I was blinded and just bought clothes and shoes on an impulse without knowing the harm it was doing to other people and our environment. In addition, I learned a lot about Asian Americans and fashion in general and to think about questions that made me critically think why it is so hard for Asian American designers or people in general to have an impact like how European beauty standards have been set in the past. I definitely believe that Asian Americans and other races are just as beautiful as Europeans and should be represented more in the fashion, modeling, and even cinema industries.
