Lifecycle Should Be An Expression Towards Modern Fashion

A person’s wardrobe reflects who he/she is as a whole. But merely, a wardrobe is like an art that is with pride of expression, feeling and ideas either a reality or a fantasy. So, fashion choices are your art choices to represent you, me as an individual who has a voice screaming proudly.

Me, as an individual, prefer to wear daily a graphic t-shirt (Week 7 - Expression) and a denim pants (Week 5 – Lifecycle). A denim pants is a staple of a look either going chic, edgy, simple, and many more ways which kind of depending your desire to achieve. Since a kid, a good denim pants is always making my day up until now from casual day to restaurant dinner with friends. But as years passed, I am getting aware of wanting to know where, what, how and who make my each outfits in a day like a denim pants that needs thousands of water to make one for which has a greater impact towards our sustainable future. Also, learning the usability of a denim pants in the 20th century as a durable armor for work that has a long-term purpose but has been put behind due to demand and increasing numbers of fast fashion in today’s world. It has been a great partner of a blouse in a soft touch, shirt for chicer presentation, and blazer which takes a formal look to casual wear. Styling a denim pants depends on who the person is.

On the other hand, graphic t-shirt is known to communicate of memory, identity, experience, and connection. Indeed, it is more of an expression of who you are, an accessory of your history, an armor of what you believe in and fighting for, and a channel of hope since 1950. It introduces me as a person who I am, what I believe in, and where I came from. A good graphic t-shirt is more than a symbol, statement, design or logo. But a form of expression that guides through us as a citizen, you as an individual and me as a character.

The availability and accessibility of having in our hands to the world has been changed for both denim pants and a graphic shirt. The modern take has been shifted in many aspects of life and its use that annotates all in workability. But now, it takes the world and one’s life to be political, socially, mentally, emotionally, personally, culturally, morally, ethically, historically, and environmentally be aware with the discussion equally. Everything we owned, own and will own should be appropriately aware towards many impacts in our lives like sustainability, equal labor, gender inclusivity and many issues that is making the fashion the most modern it possibly can.
