Denim

of a fundamentalist religious state. Oppression of the female identity in particular was one of the things Marji struggled with most. During one her outings she chose to wear a pair of “tight jeans”, “sneakers”, a “Michael Jackson button”, and a “denim jacket”. She was quickly noticed and stopped by the “Guardians of the Revolution, the women’s branch. This group had been added in 1982, to arrest women who were improperly veiled” (Satrapi 132). These were some of the few things that held her…

Bill Cunningham, who grew to become fashion photography into his own branch of cultural anthropology on the streets of new York, chronicling an technology’s ever-altering social scene for the brand new York instances by way of training his busily observant lens on what individuals wore — stylishly, flamboyantly or just plain sensibly — died on Saturday in long island. He was once 87. His dying used to be demonstrated with the aid of The times. He had been hospitalized recently after having a…

designer skinny jeans, and a simple tee to complete his outfit. He would have no trouble making friends, I just knew it. Me, on the other hand, would probably have a little bit of a harder time. I had maroon glasses, which I could not see without, simple denim skinny jeans, old white (well at least they used to be) converse, a simple graphic tee, and a grey beanie to top off my outfit. “You look stunning, Erin.” he charmed. See, this sixteen year old brother may seem like a fantasy, but we were…

Who Wears the Pants? Clothing has long been a medium used to dictate and define gender throughout history. What women wear has often been regulated by the government or the church. Women started wearing pants during World War II when they were aiding in the war effort by working jobs that were typically male dominated. Though women more regularly wore pants, they were still thought of as masculine attire as shown in the Norman Rockwell’s “Rosie the Riveter” painting, scrutinizing women for…

there's a sharp cut to a shot showing the two in their entirety (or lack of, really). Our main character is merely the upper half of a body, bespectacled and dressed in an "I'd Rather Be Playing Air Hockey" t-shirt, while his significant other is a denim-wearing lower half. What we soon learn about these feuding lovers is despite their jigsaw-like physical connection, they remain worlds apart in regards to personality,…

it is finished, as it will differ from the rest of the designs. The second reason why I chose this design had to do with time management. As there are extremely straight strips of felt on my design, I have decided to straight stitch them onto the denim. This means that if I run out of time in…

I have an extraordinary cat named Whisker. Whisker is not an average cat. She weighs considerably more than the average 14-pound cat, has manicured paws, and from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail she has orange striped fur with a tint of brown on her left front leg. She irritates me quite often around breakfast time by nudging my leg with her head. This is how I know that she wants to be fed. Her food of choice is the chicken flavored 9 Lives' cat food. On the other hand, I don't have…

Church 1. What happened during the services? I arrived at the church a few minutes prior to the service and I was greatly surprised by how well attended the service was. There were dozens of families in a spectrum of Sunday best and work-stained denim jeans and nearly every person wore a yellow and white vest with a red cross embroidered on the lapel. At the entrance there was a small dipping well and although there was no water in it at the moment, (most likely due to the sizeable crowd)…

Thesis: As I continue to progress through my life, I have come to the realization that I am a “hands on” learner because of the delicate sculpting I would do in ceramics. I had come to the realization half-way through my senior year of high school that I wanted something more out of life. At that time, however I had no clue what the sense of “more” was, could it have been adopting a new dog, but to only love it for three months until I parted for college? Could it have been making friends with…
