Fashion Sept 15 - 19

I hope you had a weekend that was better than the weather - fall seems to be here.  It is amazing how many people I saw this weekend with boots on.

Last week we discussed culture and clothing to continue answering the question - "why do we dress the way we do"

This week we will loo at the influence of media and advertising on our clothing preferences.

Monday and Tuesday we will watch the movie "Missrepresentation" and look at how women are portrayed in media and in fashion.  Then we will begin our inquiry project.

I will be away on Thursday for Cross Country in London and Mrs Greidanus will be with you.
