The Rinehart Institute’s Wellness Assessment was a compelling survey with interesting results. The results from taking the assessment were mind-boggling as I did not expect some of the results to occur the way they did.

dancer and chorus girl led to her exceptional career as an Academy Award-winning film star. The photographic portraits on display document the many roles she played onscreen - in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Sabrina, My Fair Lady, etc - and offscreen - fashion icon, humanitarian worker, and an exquisite beauty. I don’t want to give too much away - as I believe this will be a very popular show for any Londoners reading - but seeing these images together reveals the very different ways…

High fashion is often considered a pretentious and petty industry, the driver of materialism and body image issues. And while these side effects of the industry may very well be true, what most people look past is the creative aspect of fashion. Fashion designers regard themselves as artists and their material cloth, leather, fur, sequins, and countless other items.

For my research, I explored How and Why Fashion Repeats Itself. I investigated the history of fashion, the way and the reasons that fashion changes regularly. I discovered some specific examples such as denim jeans as well. In the process of the research, I took several steps. I examined various websites and several books and checked them for relevance and bias. Additionally, I conducted a survey with 40 people and collated it. History of fashion Fashion has always been key to how people…

Valerie Steele’s essay, A Museum of Fashion is More Than a Clothes Bag, points out that the research which is based on objects would provide a unique view about the development of fashion (1998, p327).
