The majority of today’s activities included working on an online Fashion Industry Essentials class by Parsons and Teen Vogue. I completed a course on ‘Unlocking Visual Style’, which focused on bringing individual voice, choice, and look together to tell a story. The course introduced five examples of fashion stories—the white dress, sportswear, red carpet, wear-to-work, and French stripes—and discussed the designers that introduced them. Each example included a series of videos and text, as well as a related piece of industry advice. As a part of the course, I completed two assignments. For the first assignment, I was tasked with creating a cohesive mood board with at least ten images. The second assignment was focused on possessions that tell a story; I took ten photographs of different objects from my room, including a pair of shoes, a poster, and a necklace. Tomorrow, I am looking forward to completing another course or two through this online program. Below are the two mood boards I created today.
