I like to include fashion as a prominent feature of artistic culture as many use it as an outlet for their creativity and as a means to express themselves. Across the country fashion is distinctive to its region. As a general observation, the clothing tends to be more cutting edge in urban communities and simpler in smaller communities. Up-to-date or not, many smaller towns like to follow suit of major cities like New York City in which there is a whole week devoted to the glorification of designer clothing and those who facilitate the inspiration behind it. Here is a glimpse of what a typical day during fashion week consists of: Fashion Week Spring 2011/Day1. Also check out this week's cover page and main story in the Maroon Weekly paper. Understandably the festivities are not up to the same extravagant level as what the booming metropolis of New York City produces, but believe it or not, BCS (Bryan/College Station, TX) puts on their own toned down rendition that even the papers are noticing. This is the first instance since starting this blog, that someone had actually heard that an local creative event was going on before I mentioned it.
You got it! This week is Fashion Week everyone! Kicked off yesterday and continuing until Saturday, BCS is hosting an art, fashion, and music show for local designers to participate in. When perusing last week's edition of Maroon Weekly, I noticed the colorful ad promoting it. Here is a link to a video spot about the event: Fashion Week BCS. I feel as though there is still a great deal of room for the more artistic outerwear to be made and appreciated in College Station, but I find Fashion Week to be a noteworthy step in the right direction.
