F2F Class Notes (Tibo)

the most influential person on fashion to me
I think MISS ZHONG, who is from a family with a long history, and her dressing style/fashion style is biased towards the British style. / her style has strong British influences.
she is always decent and elegant, she doesn’t like to mix and wear bright color to dress herself, and the overall style tends to be artistic and bookish, it could show that she is well educated and smart.

I totally don’t agree with the gov’s guidance about fashion and their comments on people’s style.
I think everyone has the right to dress by their favorite outfit.
I think from government side maybe they want to give the general guide to young people to told them you need to do this you forbidden to do that standing on the stage … the head.

from personal side everyone has their right and I think in fashion history the men who are more feminine and women a little manly … those people lead the fashion forward.
In the big environment I think the unisex is currently trend. The fashion don’t divide in clear opposites.

for instance I will dress just like a boy because sometimes I get up and I find ok I want to do some sports.
The men have the same right.

they are like ambassadors to show the brand’s identity.
They will service our consumer so we give them guidance.
from the office level we didn’t have guidance we just have the guide to standard your dress is not good to be too short but we encourage our staff to do more mix and match

a healthy society should permit different styles.
if it is has already be hidden rule

if some young people see the trend and they just pretend to be more feminine I think maybe it has some negative influences.

they just take control like we are children.

In Asian countries we always have the agriculture culture
and in western countries they have mountains and men need to be more aggressive.
