The night to be someone elsa

Not everybody celebrates Halloween but for the people that do, know that it's all about getting into character to dress up as someone or something else. I still haven't decided on what I want to be this year, but it needs to be something good, since it is my last year in high school & because people at my school know I have had some good costumes in the past.
I think Halloween is a good time for people to really express themselves in a way that wouldn't be acceptable otherwise. People start to act like what they are dressed as and really getting in to character and having fun is what Halloween is all about.

12 & Sewing to Survive

Boys in Turkey, between the ages of 7-15 working in factory.'s, getting paid less than £1 an hour working 7 days a week for 12 hours, instead of going to school. Mothers want there kids to go to school but if they don't send them to work then they won't have money. Only a tiny percentage of the estimated 3 million Syrians who have sought refuge in Turkey have the necessary work permits. To survive, they have to work illegally, without any rights, and for low wages. A made-to-measure workforce for the garment industry, and a reminder that one person's plight is often another's opportunity. Imagine going to a sewing factory, with no air in Syria where the temp goes up and all of the workers are kids that should all be in Elementary or Middle school, instead they are working by folding, sewing, clothes, all day long for the lowest pay.
When the brands are contacted about these boys working in there factories they say,  they regularly inspect the factories making their clothes to guarantee standards. But when the auditors arrive the boys are, hidden out of sight. And when the auditors leave, they go back to work. As simple as that. Some of the brands acknowledge the inherent failings in the auditing process and are now trying to tie up with trade unions and combat abuses.

the Barbican Centre celebrating vulgarity with their new fashion exhibition

Vulgar means lacking in sophistication, or it can also mean coarse and rude. The Barbican’s latest exhibition covers 500 years, from the Renaissance to now, showing visitors couture and ready-to-wear fashion as well as manuscripts, photography and film. What becomes clear from the exhibition is that fashion often breaks with taste to redefine it. Challenging us to reconsider our ideas around taste. It features designers from across the world, including Manolo Blahnik, Christian Dior and Prada. The clothes were really good and I think all the women and clothes had a real boss attitude with it, that turned out great.

Although the pair worked together previously in 2014, the duo reprise their partnership for 2016. An initial teaser image shows the iconic BAPE head design sipping out of a Coca-Cola bottle, much in the way that their first meeting was announced two years ago.

Teamwork

Here are some pro's and con's of working with teams in fashion. Now, to me a lot of these pro's & con's balance each other out put there are probably more pro's, for example you may not always see eye to eye, but then you guys can find something that you all like, and end up with a great design that you all put effort into.
Some more con's are, your group members may not always be motivated or down to work, but someone in your group needs to then take charge and start leading the group because once someone starts leading the group people start following in your path.

Cover Girl's first male ambassador

CoverGirl just announced its first-ever male brand ambassador. beauty vlogger and influencer James Charles. He is an inspiration too many fans of the art of makeup and has over 80,000 subs on YouTube and just under 600k followers on Instagram, with his first post just one year ago on, Thursday, September 3, 2015.
He started all this at 17, and just hit 18 and is now the ambassador of CoverGirl.

This move follows a growing trend of makeup brands relying on men to promote color cosmetics. "My parents started questioning me about whether or not I was transgender — whether or not I was trying to be a woman. It was a big argument," he said. "It took a lot of thorough conversations to explain that it's an art form for me. I'm still confident as a boy and I will always be a boy. I can be confident with bare skin and with a full face." -James Charles.

This is not the new, to see men now and days wear makeup. I would have never thought that a makeup brand would have a male ambassador & being an confluence to so many people on social media. To inspire them to try something new or out of there comfort. I don't know if there is news of straight men doing this, but James says he still wants to be a boy, but he likes the art of makeup. 
This is pretty different for me to see, I have seen guys put on and wear make up before at school or in public but I would never think someone would do it has a art form in this way. I am not to surprised tho because  the world is getting more accepting to different groups of people and changing more in recent years, we have seen rappers wear dresses, and men dress like women in movies and on tv,
and hey why not do it because the Native Americans wear war paint on there face, its still makeup.

Chanel’s Spring 2017 Show

Chanel's Spring 2017 show was very Hip-hop inspired (That looked good) with the run-way not looking as great, themed after computers, with giant computer processors all around the Grand Palais. The show definitely felt that it was intended to bring the brand to a younger audience, with the Hip-hop/Pop-star inspired wear of the show. It makes me think that they were trying to the same thing with the computer part, it it kinda killed it. The show would have looked better if they stuck more with the hip-hop vibe by, making the run-way more street as if the models were walk down Hollywood blvd, or if it was a regular walk way since the clothes popped so much. Chanel's robot attempt looked like it was inspired by a mix of Lady Gaga meets Daft punk, with the walk way looking like a scene from Mr. Robot. The clothes of the show were very good tho, with colors popping but looking a classy at the same time
