In this video, I will be covering how fashion designers from the past and present shape your look and life- as fashion is not always experienced on a physical, external level, but also on an emotional and internal level. Our guest, HighEndHomo, will be speaking on the Queer and LGBTQIA+ Clothing that shaped history and the world today on a conceptual and physical level with lasting impact. In the words of Ralph Lauren, "I don't design clothes. I design dreams." Clothing and its presentation is a creative expression that is produced by a designer's vision and passed to another through a nonverbal dialogue with much meaning, symbolism, and purpose within a piece.

For this, I will also be going over the semiotics of fashion, which is the study of fashion and how people signify specific social and cultural positions through dress. There is an innate sense of comfort in art and fashion that possess elements of art that provide a space for belonging in the world through knowledge, understanding, and acceptance that shape the world’s narrative. This together will provide a better understanding of fashion as an art and how a person will be drawn to an aesthetic or a few to suit their dimensions as an individual as well as forming deep connections with others through visual communications.
