Dear Mrs. Waechter:
I have always been interested in fashion and the fashion industry. For my Graduation Project I decided that I should do something that falls into that category. In my project I will research how fashion impacts teenagers. I have noticed that many teen fashion magazines have a huge impact on teens, because many teens look up to the girls inside and on the cover of the magazines. I feel as though it relates to me because I am a teenager and I feel as though fashion does have a big effect on us.
In my paper I will first research self-expression through fashion. I will research the social/economic status of teenage fashion and identity. I also plan on researching the fashion influences from media on teens. I’m going to look into the career options that go along with this field in research also. I intend on using videos, magazines, the internet, books, and hopefully interviews with people who are already working in this field.
For my action plan, I am going to do a fashion show in my community. I haven’t fully decided on what the theme of my fashion show will be. I also would like to interview different teenagers and ask questions based on my topic. I would like to see what they think about fashion affecting them from their point of view also. Another idea I had for my action plan is to join Pittsburgh Youth Invasion. It is an program at The Andy Warhol Museum that holds fashion workshops to attend. During the workshop you can come up with your own design and learn how to make it. At the end of the workshop there will be a fashion show that will allow you to model your design.
I understand the definition and consequences of plagiarism. I intend to be accurate and honest in all phases of the Graduation Project,
Sincerely,

Delayah L. Walton-Hunter

    By stating the various ways in which teens pursue their fashion and how the industries target certain groups and ultimately how they want to fit in. While returning to the introduction’s hook in the conclusion is a frequently-used strategy, the authors throughout the article start slow by giving us an image in which to picture and feel, then they give info and quotes on how the industry targets certain groups and or body types. they then flow into how teens feel about fashion and even their own fashion by doing this she implies that young teens should not care about fashion but of their own happiness. Returning to their quotes and facts, the authors make their appeal to ethos, pathos, and logos which help establish their article firmly. The magazine articles the author tells us about help show how they target and ultimately persuade which we all have seen, and the quotes from professionals help shine light on the authors purpose of the article which is that happiness is key to a young females life and that the cultural standards are not what matter but…

    Like many children, I’ve had my fair share of ideas on who I wanted to be, what I wanted to do, and how I imagined my life to transpire when I “grew up”. A few ideas that popped into my head include but were certainly not limited to: a vet, teacher, doctor, nurse, chef, lawyer, actress, ballerina (which quickly faded due to my lack of interest in actually learning ballet), and many, many more. As much as these topics had intrigued me at one point or another, fashion had always seemed to be the interest I went back to after all of my other aspirations faded.…

    In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith made the classic observation that individuals acting in their own self-interest can benefit society more than they expect to. My predilection for fashion developed since I came to Singapore at the age of 16. I still remember the gigantic poster of Prada featured Sasha Pivovarova hanging over the shopping mall, so impressive I was even though I had little knowledge about high fashion. Nowadays, my attachment to fashion becomes an obsession. There are piles of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar under my bed. I also surf on Style.com to access the free fashion updates. The TV series Mad Men leads me to appreciate the 60’s fashion style and develops a love for vintages. I believe FIT is the right place where aspiring young people pursue their dreams in the fashion world.…

    Fashion has always been my favorite source of creative expression. It allows individuals to embrace their creativity in a simple but complex way. It can differentiate people from one another, and also bring them together. Fashion is different all around the world, and I am ready to explore it at The Art Institute of Atlanta.

    The fashion and retail industry tends to be overly youth focused which is not entirely bad but has the disadvantage of resulting in monotonous trends. However, by closely following generational fashion trends as well as our own customers' purchasing preferences, we design our inventory to meet the broad needs of our clientele. We will solely focus on western yet locally appreciated styles, colors and brands to meet the ever vibrant and young aged ever growing market which has an un satiable taste for fashion.…
