My First Store

Hello everybody, it's Quincy again and I would like to proudly announce the beginning of a project I’ve been working on. I am opening my own clothing store. The name of my store is Fits. My store is located in the fashion district in New York. The mission of Fits is to make customers confident in themselves through clothing. The store connects to my blog through fashion and mental health. The store is set out to help build confidence within customers which could lead to a better mental health. You should expect to see a section for second hand clothing, vintage pieces, and some luxury street wear clothing.
My store will look simple but a lot at the same time. It would be white walls with white ceiling and marble floor. The shelves would be white and the counters woould be a white bottom with a marble top. The store would look very modern with floor to ceiling windows in the front of the store with glass doors. As far as decorations go I would buy paintings from local artists and hang them throughout the store with an embroder saying who made the paintings. I'd also have certain plants and flowers throughout the store to bring in an earthy comfortbal vibe with a little bit of vinery on some corners of the walls.
The unique service I am planning is a styling AI. There would be 10 small booths where you could use the stylist AI. What The AI would do is scan the person with a face scanning software and it would give that person images with them in different clothes and color and that person would choose which outfit they would like. Based on their selection the AI would display a screen with outfits that could be made within the store for the customer with the set style they chose and it would locate said items for that customer. There will be an opening party!

Things I do to Improve my Mental Health through Fashion!

Image
Mental health is something that can be very tiring on somebody, or it can make you anxious to walk into a crowded room. It can make you second guess yourself to wear you lose confidence in your appearance. I’ve experienced many situations where my mental health caused me to lose confidence in myself to the point where I didn’t want to go out in public. Something that has helped me overcome my anxiety is dressing how I want to, to my standards. Growing up I was told “if you look good you play good” and I always thought it was just something all the older people told me before my games. I may not have applied it to the basketball court but I did apply it to my life and it has helped with my anxiety immensely. Wearing what I like and what I want allows me to be the most comfortable and confident in my own skin. The photo of me was from a week ago and I was low on confidence, but going outside and taking these pictures did boost my confidence because I liked the outfit and the pictures e

Ageism

Image
Ageism is an overlooked way of being prejudiced. You look at somebody because of their age, and tell them off the rip that they are too young or too old for the job without giving them any sort of opportunity to showcase what exactly they can do. I am going to be talking about how ageism affects fashion, and how it can also impact somebody's mental health. In the industry of fashion, it is very important to fit the right age group. You never want to be too young because you may not know as much as somebody that has 5 more years of experience. Does that mean they know more than you or they are better at their job than you? No, it’s just something that holds value in the fashion industry. Those beliefs that only a certain age or amount of experience required may miss out on something that could be beneficial to them. Mentally it affects somebody because they are being shut down as for any other reason but age which could cause somebody to be overly stressed and even depressed.

Cultural Appreciation vs Appropriation

Image
The differences between Cultural Appreciation and Cultural Appropriation are very clear. Cultural appreciation is when a brand or a designer has an interest in something other cultures do or designs they have. That designer or brand takes time to educate themselves about what they have an interest in and show it the correct way, by advertising it with the people of the culture and so forth. Cultural appropriation is when a brand or designer steals designs from another culture without educating themselves beforehand. Those brands and designers disrespect a culture and the people of that culture. A brand that shows cultural appreciation is a luxury skin care brand that is owned by Ozohu Adoh called Epara. The brand came about because she suffered from persistent follicular eczema, and she started looking at the ingredients her African forbears used. She planned on having it as a commercially sold product but now it’s being sold in luxury stores. My opinion on the brand is that the
