Day in The Life Interview 2013 and 1980s

Interview of Ana - 2013

- Who inspires you to dress in a certain way?
The people I most look up to the way I dress are my parents because they are the people i grew up with and always looked up to.

- Which celebrity inspires you to dress? Why?
The celebrity that I look up to because of their fashion style is Alesha keys, this is because she is famous but appropriate the way she dresses and isn't over the top like other celebrities.

- How does that celebrity dress?
Alesha keys dresses very classy and sophisticated.

- What are the world event now and do they affect the way people dress?
Right now there are world events such as immigration and lack of jobs. I think that affects fashion because people have to spend their money on more important things.

- Would you rather dress in 2013 or 1940s?
Even thought 1940s fashion was more appropriate I would still rather dress in 2013 because there is more freedom.

- How did you dress in 1980s?
The most common clothing I used to wear was t-shirts and leather jackets.

- Who inspired you to dress in a certain way? Why?
The person that inspired me to dress the way I did was Michael Jackson, I was a huge fan and he was my role model.

- How does that celebrity dress?
Michael Jackson used to wear a lot of leather jackets with t-shirts and black trousers.

- What were the world events in 1980s and did they effect the way the people dressed?
Coloured clothing was invented new so people went crazy with colours and used to wear bright clothing such as coloured t-shirts, leggings and jeans.

- Would you rather dress in 2013 or 1980s?
I'd rather dress in 2013 because the clothes are more fashionable and decent.


Comparing the two interviews Ana was inspired by celebrities and so was my father, so they are both very similar becasue they are both inspired to dress like they're celebrity idols. However they both have complete different styles in the way they like to dress, my father likes to dress more casual with t-shirts and jackets and Ana likes to dress more modern and elegant such as dresses.   

Fashion In 1940's

Make, Do & Mend

Make - Make something new to wear using old material
Do - Make do with what you have
Mend- repair clothes that are damaged





Fashion in 1940s changed due to the world war, women had to go out and work in factories and farms to provide equipments and food for the country "It became much more the norm to wear trousers as your clothes has to be practical if you were working in a factory or farm". Men couldn't work in such places because they were all fighting in the war. Clothes had to be worn again and again. Women would make new clothes out of old fabric such as turn old trousers into a dress "Old jumpers were unravelled to provide wool for new ones, blanets made good coats an if you could could get some parachute silk you could make yourself some luxurious underwear". They would also mend clothes that were damaged. If they were bored of their old clothes there was not much they could do about it but to make do with what they have. The government spent all the money on the war so families were low on mone so they couldn't go food shopping so they wood grow their own food and vegetables on their gardens "We have to accept it was a waist of precious time as well as resources as some 400,000 workers were diverted from the clothing industry to vital war work". They also wouldn't have money to buy new material and fabrics so they would have to work with the meterials they already had at home "I fear that unless either supplies are increased or the distrubution of existing supplies is equalized (which means rationing), some part of the population will have to go short of clothing". Backing my information i have collected some quotes from the book '50 years of everyday fashion'. 

1) What is in fashion in the 1940s?
"Old jumpers were unravelled to provide wool for new ones, blanets made good coats an if you could could get some parachute silk you could make yourself some luxurious underwear".

2)What jobs did women do in the 1940s?
"It became much more the norm to wear trousers as your clothes has to be practical if you were working in a factory or farm".

3) How did the war effect fashion?
"We have to accept it was a waist of precious time as well as resources as some 400,000 workers were diverted from the clothing industry to vital war work".

4) What is rationing?
"I fear that unless either supplies are increased or the distrubution of existing supplies is equalized (which means rationing), some part of the population will have to go short of clothing".

The 'make, do and mend' technique interests me, this is because i think it got women to be more creative and make interesting things putting their mind to it. i also thing women were more hard working instead of always relying on men to do everything for them.

Who Is Your Fashion Icon, Kate Or Miley?

The fashion icon I would like to dress like is kate middleton because she is dressed elegant, "kate is mature, smart and approuchable". This is a quote someone has said in the oldham college chronicals. This shows that there are others that agree with my opinion.










I wouldn't want to be dresses like miley cyrus because she is very revealing and shows too much flesh. The oldham college magazine backs my opinion up because other students have said similar opinion "Miley is Rebelious, Productive and a product of childhood fame", I agree with this quote because she is a bad example to children that look up to her as a rold model.
