designers in history and now
fashion illustration
pattern and fabric,
apparel construction,

aesthetic of "style" and "trends",
color coordination and accessorizing,
and final products and advertising/design such as:

Problem:
Absorbing all the knowledge that is possible before the end of semester and to gain knowledge of the surrounding community impact of fashion. I want to gain more knowledge of sewing/tailoring and the production process of apparel manufacturing.
In the end I will incorporate what I have learned into a fine art piece showing sketch/process/and integrate final sewing/fabric techniques that I have learned only by observing.
Perceptual/Emotional/Cultural:
Intellectual/Environmental/Expressive

There is a lot of talk lately about "Eco-fashion" Bono has even made his own Organic fashion line called: Edun
The hope for most is that from Eco friendly high fashion will eventually trickle down into the department stores and become affordable for everyone to afford, but right now its way to expensive to become a trend.
Here is a great site with a ton of other links to conscientious companies: Green loop
Self expression through fashion is prevalent everywhere, what you throw on in the morning says somthing about your mood, what your thinking and how you feel about the places you are going....it is beautiful and horrible but all in all its all expression.
