Relationship between fashion, subcultures, trends and music: All three factors are constantly influencing each other, especially through the timelines displayed in the museum

Why is fashion so closely related to ideas about identity?

• Fashion is very exterior, its an expression of yourself from within to the outside, fashion showcases your interest your personalities which are all connected to identity. In many of the designers rationale seen in the museum their garments are inspired by their cultural background or just their lives in general, they tell their stories through these garments whether intentional or not, fashion communicates a message from the designer of ideas or concepts they want to display. One designer mentioned fashion is like an escape.

In what ways has the exhibition expanded the way you think about fashion and its history, politics, culture?

• Its fascinating to see how fashion can so subtly but also expressively convey messages witihin history, politics and culture through fabric, silhouettes and designs. Before I read the rationale of the designer I didn't understand the inspirations or influences though after reading I can piece together how the designer cleverly incorporates the three ideas in their work which is very well done making their work very powerful.

• 1980's new romantics

Personally, I have contributed quite a lot to the slides, I have created the demographics slides, stores and architecture slides. My group was very supporting with sending pictures to our instagram groupchat for those images to be added into the slides. 

I have supported my group through communicating within our instagram groupchat, specifically about what work needed to be done and kind of breaking up who’s doing what slide. When those questions were asked on what topics are left, I was able to support my groupmates by answering their queries. When there were some spots that was uncovered I had written or given my part to them and they added more information, this allowed our team to feel cohesive and to further understand each slide individually and together.
