Week 6 - Qiuying Lin

Qiuying Lin
ASA 141
Week 6

In the last week of Be Green Challenge, I learn a lot from this weekly article. Although the mainstream of fashion is in Westen style, under the globalization, anti-western is raising up among Asian. People then realize that we need to redefine what is fashion and look into the anti-fashion and globalization effect in fashion. I think this event reflects consciousness also because people start to "describe the appropriation of anti-fashion by fashion." This is great progress actually. When we are not following the trend of recent fashion, and begin to develop critical thinking to figure out our persona through fashion, it means consciousness is inside our shopping experience. In addition, I don't think beauty or fashion has its own standard. Therefore, it's ok to create your own style under this global century. Mixing western style and Orientalism style is also a good way to express your own fashion. So, everyone doesn't need to worry about whether you are on the right way of fashion or not. You are the dominator of your own fashion.

We can't define whether people are in fashion or not, and there is no boundary inside fashion. The models in the following video show that anti-fashion could be so charming. So, we are in Be Green process, we are also in conscious anti-fashion progress.
