MY EXPEDITION THROUGH FASHION
Chapter 1: self discovery, rebrand, express
Fashion, the creation of clothing, accessories, jewellery and shoes of
different aesthetics that convey distinctive ways of dressings which
shows social status, group belonging and self-expression.
Fashion includes different textures, silhouettes, details and colours.
To me, fashion isn't just about the clothes, it is the expedition that
allowed me to find myself in the world we live in. During my high school
years, I felt very lost and I didn't know who I was. It wasn't
acceptable to be your own individual. Growing up in this social media
age, we all dressed the same and shopped at the same stores. Being your
own individual was like being a fish out of it's pond (totally
unacceptable). During the time of feeling lost and lonely, I used
fashion and clothing as my escape out of the world and built my own
little world where I reinvented myself. My amended style has helped me
to slowly connect with the new me, as well as, the Alicia that is the
highest version of herself. Through fashion I have regained my
confidence, rebranded as a new me (the highest version of me - well
almost...its a journey) and I express who I am through the pieces I
wear. This is your sign and message to be yourself, express yourself
through clothing and don't fit in with the crowd. We are meant to all
shine in our individual ways.
