My Fashion Influences

This is going to be my final post for this blog! I very much enjoyed speaking with you about the topics I had written about previously. This week I wanted to write an appreciation post about some of my favorite people who have influenced me in some of the things I wear.
The first type of style I wanted to talk about is Tyler The Creator’s style. Known for having cropped pants, colorful designs on his shirts, or his nails, platform loafers, and the unique hats and trunks he incorporates. Tyler has been a big inspiration to me because he wears what he wants, and he doesn’t care what other people wear. His style is unique and has influenced many other people to wear certain things that they may not have worn before.
Another big influence for me is Lil Yachty. His style in my opinion is oversized clothes, sometimes vintage preppy look with Ralph Lauren Or Tommy Hilfiger. He mixes different types of shoes like boots, sneakers, designer trainers. His style is very broad due to his extensive online and retail purchasing that can be seen on some of his youtube videos, or from interviews where he talks about his fashion sense. He also is known for painting his nails and also like Tyler he has his own nail polish company Crete.
My final influence in fashion is Dennis Rodman. The reason it’s Dennis Rodman is not only the uniqueness in his style but also his attitude. He didn’t care about what other people thought about him or what he wore, he just wore what he wanted. He dyed his hair many different colors, patterns, and styles. He wore crop top shirts, dresses, and also painted his nails in the 90’s. He is an example as to where you love!
I’ve enjoyed blogging my opinions on various topics for the last couple of weeks! It’s been real. Peace.

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

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
