My name is Afiya aka Afifi. I've loved fashion since I was about ten(sixteen now). When I came to High School, I got a sewing machine (birthday gift) and taught my self to sew. I began to make things and became friends with other kids who shared my interests. Being interested in fashion i learned names of all the designers, the top people in fashion and the learned their styles. I went to fabric stores and incorporated art skills into my work. Starting to create fashion helped me jump start being a fashion designer in the future.
When i went to work an internship at third world newsreel, I received the task of creating a short film about fashion. Together me and the other interns(Armand and Nathaniel), are supposed to create something on being a teen in the world of fashion. So far we have about five interviews(my friends from fashion club, Armand's friends who like fashion) and various points of view. Our main questions we always ask are long the lines of what is fashion what makes someone fashionable. I think anything can be fashionable because fashion is inspired by everything. I think the film's main focus is to show how young people who may not have maybe the money or connections, can be involved in something that they love.
