Fashion design and writing have a lot of similarities don’t they? Not a lot of people think that way when they think of the two. But after watching Project Runway and reading more into stories that are given throughout the class there is a lot more to meet the eye in both. When you look at a title of a book you think you are going to know what that book is about and what is gonna be in it. That is the same when you look at someones clothes you base that person off of what they are wearing and where they come from.
When I was watching I noticed how everyone is really stressing to impress the judges which makes sense this is there shot for a life long changing experience. Its very hard to to make something with a lot of quality and attention grabbing with the time they are given. They have to not just grab the audiences attention they also have to wow the judges. That how writing is at the beginning you have to grade your reader and the audiences attention when you are writing. People that read your books are like the judges on the show they try and see the quality,creativity and authenticity you bring to the table. Basically every book you write or page or post you do of writing is like you are competing like the contestants are on project runway.
When the designers are creating they have to find need of the women they are making the dress for. That is something I enjoyed seeing was them work with how there models body was. That is how I see genre the writer has to work with in the genre they are in to make it comfortable for the reading to enjoy. Just how the contestants had to work with how the models body’s were for the models to like what they were wearing and feel conformable in it. Then it will appeal more to the audience. When you can tell the model is confident in what they are wearing it appeals more to the judges to and when a writer is confident in what they are writing it can appeal more to their audience to.
On Project runway you can tell what contestant has a lot of knowledge and skill in what they are doing. That reflects on their work on when they are designing on the show for their model. That is the same for a writer or any type of work you can tell when you are reading in a certain area that they are trying set them self in a spesific genre or area for there work. That is what the contestants do very well when they are making there dresses for the models. Writing and design are very much alike they both reflect on your experience and knowledge of what you are doing.
