Fashion Design

1) There are many reasons as to why fashion is reflective. One reasons discussed by Jones is immodesty or sexual attraction. People often use clothes to attract others and to flaunt their availability. People also dress in order with their social standing or the social group to which they belong. People feel the need to express themselves through their clothing, some people use it as an outlet for their creativity and personality. Clothing is something that people have control over, they can choose to express themselves however they wish through clothes.

2) Fashion is constantly changing. The reason behind this change is because it is certain peoples job to be ahead of the curve and trendsetting. In order to be ahead of the curve, new designs and new trends need to be developed and set. I also believe that geographic location influences time. America is often said to be years behind Europe in a fashion sense, and styles that are popular currently in Europe will most likely be popular here in America in a few years time. Even more specifically within United States boarders, New York fashion will obviously be more advanced than the fashion styles in Montana or North Dakota.

3) Some principles that should be followed when designing clothes that Jones outlines in her writing are price, quality, fit and comfort. She also outlines more reflective principles such as brand name and current trends.
