Perplexed is an Understatement

Hello, my fellow readers. So I have come across a road block. I have absolutely NO IDEA what I’m going to do as my two page spread!!!!!! All I do is try to come up with possible stories but I can’t think of anything, so seeing that I can’t come up with anything I have been asking everyone to see if someone can help me. But nothing zip, zero. So I decided that I was going to look into different magazines to see if a lightbulb turns on.
One article that I found was from i-D magazine where they talk about a documentary of a certain designer. This is becoming more and more popular, although not many people know about them. So, I thought a possible two page spread could be to research into them and explain them and bring awareness to them.
Another article I saw that sparked my attention was one called five fashion films that broke the mold. This differs from the documentary movies because it talks about how the costuming of the actors had influenced the fashion world.
A trend I saw is how fashion is being incorporated into the technological world. For example, there was an article of how Chanel came out with emojis, similarly to how Karl Lagerfeld; a designer for his own brand, Chanel, and Fendi; came out with emojis. There was also another article on V magazine that talks about how Gucci is incorporating memes into their marketing campaign. This shows how the fashion industry is embracing how technological this generation has become. Here are some examples of the memes Gucci used:


 


Overall, I found that many of the articles are very opinionated. I think this cleared some things up for me; although I’m still not quite sure what I am going to write about in my two page spread. Hopefully, I’ll be able to share with you guys what I finally decided to write about soon. Well, until next time!
