As part of the final year of studying a BA honours degree in media makeup, a major project must be executed exploring a topic individual to each student. This project will research fashion ethics and the bigger long-term issues caused in order to gain a greater insight into why sustainability is crucial for fashion’s future. Four final images will be showcased as part of the project, which will be suitable for any gendered adult viewers who have an interest in fashion, as well as for various sectors however mostly the high fashion and editorial industries. Through multiple trials and experimentation to reach these final images, professional skills such as prosthetic making, headdress making, and wig styling will be conveyed. The overall objective of this plan and proposal is to outline the project and its intentions clearly, whilst discussing relevant research and analysis explaining methods and methodologies throughout.
Growing up, fashion was always an interest as it is a form of personal expression, becoming a primary way people ‘express their personality and in which they distinguish themselves from those around them.’ George, K. (n.d.). It is a concept that can be used to reflect personality, culture, and creativity and has personally always been a means of feeling more confident. Fashion can be seen everywhere in modern-day life throughout high street shop windows, social media platforms, magazines, books, Television (TV) and Film, advertisements, and more. It is a key component to our everyday lives. Like anything, the fashion industry can be seen in a more scrutinised light as it bares some ethical issues. Through exploration of initial research into these controversies, the idea of fashion ethics was developed.
