My topic is fashion, I chose this because fashion has always interested me. It's been around for ages and it's something that always changes, literally every season. It sounds cliche, but I like to look good and finding out new trends is something that I've always enjoyed. Even thinking outside of the box and not following the hottest trends is fun from time to time. I like the thought that fashion can be whatever I make of it and there aren't any rules that I need to follow. I can explore with endless possibilities. If I don't like something (an outfit, possibly), I can start over from scratch, it's always interesting. I can recreate looks, get inspiration from everything around me, and base my outfits off of celebrities and fashion icons. Fashion is the only thing that's ever truly been something I could call my own because it's one of the few things that I've ever been extremely confident in. No one could ever make me believe otherwise. I can spend forever at shops and always manage to find something that I could pick apart, criticize, or really like.

iPoly Citizen: The project will help me take responsibility for myself and not procrastinate. I will learn not to rely or depend on my group/classmates to get me through the year, but be independent. I will talk to my mentors when needed and anyone at the David Meister offices. I will complete as many hours as I have to until I feel that I have learned as much as I possibly can from my mentor about my topic until I know it like the back of my hand. Just like iPoly, one big thing in the field of fashion is that you need to get involved and talk to the right people or else nothing gets accomplished. I will need to work up to par and set high standards for myself so that I will not fail. iPoly works very similarly, in the sense that we must remain positive and take responsibility for our own actions.
Effective Communicator: I will have to push through being shy when surrounded by a large group of people that I have not yet become acquainted with and talk to everyone. I must respect the designer, models, seamstresses, and others in the office in order to gain respect from them in return. Also, I'm not in charge, so not being respectful to those above me is rude and inconsiderate. I'm working alongside others and collaborating with them to achieve success. Whether it be by helping file a few designs or just modeling a gown they don't have a model for. The process of completing designs and getting them distributed is a team effort and couldn't be finished if there were to be a lack of communication in any given area. We will take into consideration what everyone has to say and not ignore the ideas of others, but listen in order to become what is defined as effective communicators.
Effective Learner: When working in the fashion industry, I cannot be late or put off anything important because that will not only make my look bad as a worker, but my entire company will suffer. I cannot let others down, I refuse to. It's important to remain focused and stay organized because in the midst of it all, I need to stay calm under pressure and remain consistent with everything I do. Being creative and having an active imagination will get me far because in fashion there is no such thing as a crazy idea. As you guys have probably become aware of by seeing the trends change as often as they do. There never is an end to learning fashion, so I'll be consistent with gaining new knowledge as it comes at me and performing up to their expectations because anything less will just not be enough. Not only will I learn by listening to those around me, but I'll take time to learn things myself because those are the types of things that in the end, make me feel better about myself and I tend to feel more accomplished.
Effective User of Technology: Working in an office with so many softwares that keep track of data and the website that promotes David Meister will give me access to a lot of information and teach me how those that keep everything up and running actually manage. I will learn in the skills I lack. When demonstrating something new, whether it be a new design possibility or advertisement to promote the line in general, we're incorporating technology. I've already been given the opportunity to use their technology, such as emails to get in touch with anyone my heart so desires to get in touch with, calculated profits and the budget with the help of my mentor, Microsoft Word helped with it's many programs to keep things nice and tidy. Out of all these, the Internet is the most important of any forms of technology simply because it's the reason they're able to get their name out there and become what they are. Technology has helped all of us achieve what we have today.
