 * Fashion**: influences and consequences

Taking a look at fashion's history, influences, the people involved, materialism and consumerism etc... create an interconnecting network, on a three dimensional mannequin.

Fashion usually applies to trendy clothes, but can also applies to a personal expression or style. Fashion is greatly influenced by advertising and consumerism and has a big impact on materialism. In media fashion often has fetishistic aspect, and uses sex appeal, celebrity endorsements, brands and models to sell a product. Models used in ads are often linked to beauty, appearance or self image as well as eating disorders. Overall I'll be looking into how fashion is an influential medium in our culture.

First draft with concept to present the map.

First concept, rough draft

Started by carving the figure out of foam.

Covered the foam with nylon material.

Pinned my words to map out the network.



Used Cmaps to create all the links.

Created a template to make a "pattern" to fit on the mannequin, and fitted the network to iron on fabric (under).
