My Love Affair with Fashion
By Amber Joubert

My love affair with fashion started years ago, but over these past 2 years it has grown into something so beautiful. Fashion made it’s grand entrance in my life when I was looking over a Chanel catalog along with a few other designers. For example; Vera Wang, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Marc Jacobs, Phoebe Philo, and many more. The designs caught my eye and I was just mesmerized by it all. It literally took my breath away! I always told myself and my family that I will grow to be an amazing fashion designer and sell beautiful, elegant clothing known to man. A worldwide known designer. The day I opened that catalog was the day that my mind went into a world win spiral. So many ideas flooded my brain that I went out and bought my first sketch book to begin on this fashion journey. I started out drawing a pair of straight leg white dress pants, followed by a beautiful silk pink button up blouse. It was simply stunning. To follow this outfit I would dress it up with a pair of pink pumps and a pair of earrings, it keeps it classy but yet remains stylish. It’s what you call business elegant. The outfit screamed “WEAR ME!” I went to school the next day and showed many people my work and they all said that they were in love. They all wanted me to draw to a design for them to. It shocked me how many people actually liked my work, but I was more than happy to do it. It comes off a tad bit extreme or “unrealistic” but I have many goals and expectations for myself. Some people may even say I dream to big, but in my opinion no dream is ever to big and I will never stop thinking that way. My goals in life are to first complete this last year of high school with at least a 3.7-4.0 GPA. Then I’m making it my goal to get into FIDM and major in Fashion design/Product Development and double my major with Business Management. After Attending FIDM and graduating with my Associate of Arts degree and my Bachelor of Science Degree,

    “A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.”- Colin Powell. Everyday of my life, I followed this lesson in life and it will continue to run through my blood forever. In following this life lesson, in six years, I see myself as a mature twenty-three-year-old adult still in college and working each and every day for my bachelor’s and even master’s degree. After receiving my degree, I hope to have my own business and on the side apply to a company like, Apple and pursue my engineering skills in the field that I’m assigned too. I would also like to be a role model and help out the community any way I can and show everyone that hard work can lead to unbelievable things in life. Also, I would like to start my own family and raise my children to be respectful, kind, mature and…

    I am the perfect candidate for the Fashion Institute of technology because I am inquisitive; I am always craving more knowledge no matter what the topic - I am a leader, I enjoy coming up with fresh, new ideas and I am an intensely passionate person. Though, unlike many other FIT applicants, I haven’t always had a “passion for fashion”. Growing up, I wanted to be an Architectural engineer. It wasn’t until someone close to me gave me my first Michael Kors handbag my 8th grade year that I began to develop the passion I have now. Handling this bag was when realized my obsession with high-end fashion was only beginning. I was amazed at the production work put into making the merchandise. Of course the beauty of fashion is interesting, but what…

    Before I start talking about what I want in the far future I need to set short term goals before long term. Such as graduating from Ramona High School. Not only do I yearn for a high G.P.A, such as a 3.5, but I also desire to walk across the stage with my head up high knowing that I did all that I could bring forth academically advanced. Besides my academic goals, I have other goals before finishing high school. An example is finishing with a winning record on the football team I’m playing on. Currently we have winning record of 3 wins 1 lose.…

    My educational goal is to attend Western Oregon University and graduate with a bachelors degree in biology. I want to major in biology because my goal is to become a dentist. After graduating from Western Oregon University I will apply to a dental school to earn a dental degree. During my college career I will work hard to maintain a high grade point average just like I have in high school. My goal for high school was to get a 4.0 all through high school so that I could be the valedictorian. I was able to achieve this by doing my homework every night and studying tirelessly. There was times when I thought that I wasn't going to be able to accomplish this. For example, this year I am taking AP physics and I have always struggled with science…

    Mention Alexander Wang and almost instantaneously, images of offbeat, laidback styles, drenched in white, pastel shades and black would come to mind. The young designer had, in a time period of only three years, made a name for himself in the industry with his clean-cut minimalism and perfectly classic tailoring. Each and every one of his garments speak for themselves as they are sent down the runway at Fashion Week in New York, clad by kooky ‘of-the-moment’ models, to the discerningly favourable eyes of the big names, the style gurus and ‘It’ girls – the who’s who of fashion. His journey to success may have been brief, but the wunderkind continues to churn out hugely popular designs, and it most certainly does not seem like he is stopping anytime soon.…
