INTRO TO FASHION: In this class, our final project wass to create a garment using thrifted pieces of our choosing. We had to make it look nothing like what it was when we purchased the item, and I chose to base it on 70s and 80s rock stars and how they have influenced society and culture today. Challenging politics, gender norms, and stereotypes through fashion and music influenced society to advocate for change.

After draping with the pieces, I decided to go with this design. From there I developed a mood and visual board, found props, and scouted for a model and photographer to take these images!
