Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

1) I currently have one possible option for my independent component. I'm hoping that I could get permission from my mentor to help assist and be a part of a fashion show. By that, I mean that I hope to go to all the meetings and fittings and the set up. It takes plenty of hours to put together a fashion show because there is so much planning that goes behind it. Hopefully I will get to experience everything first hand because it's always been a dream of mine to attend one, as well. I'd considered planning and putting together my own fashion show at iPoly, having students from the senior class participate, but opted against it. I'm sure because of all the work, it'd be a lot to juggle with school work and my other priorities.  

2) For a fashion show, you need the following; a theme, location, models, a crew, publicity, and lots of rehearsal. That would mean several months of planning and that's a lot of hours. Not only am I certain that I'd get 30 hours, I'm sure I'd get more than that especially because my mentor is always more than willing to help. I'd prove that I attended and helped with the process with word from my mentor, pictures, and more than likely, a brochure of some sort. 

3) I'm almost positive that my working EQ has to do with how trends are started/created. Since that is the case, fashion shows are where the media and the public get their inspiration and find out what's currently trending. Fashion shows are a showcase for designers to show off their best clothing. So it goes hand in hand with my working EQ perfectly.
