Growing up, I was always mad at fashion. I was mad at it because I saw girls as young as seven years old being shamed about their bodies. Third graders would go on diets and admire photos of celebrities which are clearly over-photoshopped.

However, middle school changed everything, as I can remember, I spent the whole summer nights watching different fashion shows, from Alexander McQueen to Zac Posen.

That was the time I came to realise that fashion is an extension of my personality. From then on, I couldn’t remember a time in my life where I wasn’t attracted to a career in the fashion industry.

Personality wise, there are major changes that I observed once I joined the program.
Every little girl plays with her mothers makeup. I used to watch my mother and sisters do their makeup every morning, and I would sit in front of a mirror and try to imitate their actions. As soon as I could walk, I was getting into their makeup. This continued for years until I bought my own materials to gain more experience and expand my creativity. I would use my imagination that makeup brought, and I would test different designs on my friends and family.

The glorifying of beauty and youth is so rampant that it makes it seem like you don’t matter anymore once you are past your peek age of 25. As if you shouldn’t be in the public eye, as if you don’t deserve it – now you have nothing important to offer anyway and no one wants to look at
Emergence of fast fashion has brought a drastic change in the fashion industry on a global level. Over the past decade it has brought a significant development in the retail sector as well as consumer behavior.

Fashion is my method of self-expression. The clothes we choose to wear gives us control over how others perceive us and affects how we feel about ourselves. From wearing black at the Golden Globes in support of the Time’s Up movement to the traditional Chinese Qi Pao, clothes can show solidarity without words or act as a way for us to connect to our cultural heritage. This is why fashion is important to me, because it allows me to tell a story about who I am and who I aspire to be. I have chosen to further my Management studies at the London College of Fashion because the MA Fashion Design Management covers themes essential for managing a successful fashion brand, which has always been a dream of mine.
