My collage piece is titled, Creator. My website is all about being creative and specifically being creative in fashion. I wanted my collage to be abstract but meaningful because this is what fashion is about. I really wanted to capture the idea of how so many people just don’t understand fashion and this is where I decided on making my piece abstract. I also wanted to incorporate a lot of color and texture and movement in this piece because that is was great fashion silhouettes include so my collage should too. I wanted to include some wording so I decided on we the creators for many reasons. For one I believe it speaks to my audience that my blog is geared towards. Also, many people in fashion and in art, in general, call themselves and their peers the creators. I thought this was good to include a phrase I hear a lot among my fashion major friends. I ripped some of the wording to symbolize us rebelling from society and the fact that many fashion influencers think that fashion is dying because it is getting ruined by media. I thought this was important because it is a constant topic being part up in the fashion industry.
I also included three pictures of my outfits to show that this was about fashion in an obvious way. Despite my piece being abstract I wanted people to know that it had something to do with fashion even if they did not understand the rest. I also made different silhouettes different to capture my personal aesthetic. I dress in many different styles and I wanted this to be shown in my collage. I included the drawing because I believe many great artists or designers mix mediums and I love doing so also. The may physically mix mediums or approach one art form like you would another. For example, many people that are makeup artists say its like painting a picture. This is how I approach fashion.
