There’s no denying that the influence Kanye West injected into our lives is one of the strongest that we have received from a pop star royalty. Sometimes, we would settle by letting these mainstream artists be the dominatrices of our iPod playlists, but anything more than that would seem quite excessive. However, Kanye West’s magic in penetrating into our lives as deep as he could had been effective so far, and not only we hear him sing through our headsets, we can also wear him through our fashion.

Frank Lloyd Wright is considered to be the pioneer of modern architecture. He created an identity for American architecture, while rejecting Neoclassical and Victorian style designs.

The globalization process has lead to shorten of this production cycle across the entire fashion industry to just two weeks. The “on-trend” clothes that were at one point of time only available to thin rich urban fashionistas are now available to a wider audience at a lesser and more affordable price. Death rate of fashion has increased as a result of the changes in the lifestyle and the society. The society has become more accessible and people are now looking for a change.

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.
