Fashion Design and Business Management
Jenifer Martinez |
Friday, December 3, 2010 As a BDIC Major my concentration is Fashion Design and Business Management. The overall idea of my concentration is to combine the art of fashion design and the creation of clothing with the aspects of business management in order to run a successful retail business of my own.The reason why I became interested in fashion is because to me fashion is another art form in which people can express their individual style and also their personal beliefs. Growing up in Boston I was always socially aware of our very diverse population but it wasn't until I came to UMass that I really noticed many societal problems that go on in this world. Through different classes, dialogues, and student organizations, UMass has given me a sense of growth and has expanded my mind on different social issues that go on in an everyday bases. With BDIC I would like to take the idea of consumerism in our capitalist society and turn it into an outlet to provide social awareness to the world.
What I hope to accomplish with my concentreation once I graduate this May 2011 is the confidence to begin and effectively run my own business as well as being able to practice and improve my creativity through fashion design. As of right now I am working on my portfolio that would incorporate all that I have learned these past years about society, fashion, and business.
The following are some photos of drawings and garments I have done throughout these years:
