Class Reflection

This class taught me a lot about the central topic of Asian fashion, specifically a focus on East and Southeast Asian styles. I think that this was extremely informative for me, as I have little to no experience with East Asian fashion but have always admired the pieces. I loved seeing the integration of Asian fashion into the Western world, and seeing how the West has started to accept Asia as a major competitor in high fashion markets. The beautiful textiles and history wrapped within the modernization of Asian fashion has made a patchwork of new and old, which I think only strengthens Asian culture and the diaspora. Another really important part of this class was learning about how detrimental fast fashion and fashion waste is to the environment and to textile workers. It really made me start thinking about the types of clothing I buy and where I buy it from. I think that the be green challenge is extremely important, and that this class should always keep that as a component. Making us think about our waste is becoming more and more important, because our Earth is starting to go past a point of no return. This challenge, along with a few other factors in my life, has almost solidified my career path in renewable energy and trying to make more waste free manufacturing processes in industry! Thank you for teaching such a though provoking class.
