Alexis Remington

My name is Alexis Remington and the scene that I created is “Rebellion”. The word rebellion means a lot to me and I hold it very close. Growing up I was always told that I was rebellious and always did my own thing. I decided to channel the energy that I feel I give off and create something that will invoke an emotional response in the audience. I want the audience to see that they can be who they feel they are without fear. People shouldn’t be scared to stand up for what they believe is right and I hope to encourage people to take a stance and protect what they love and care about in this world. The inspiration for my scene came from many different places. I used several different muses including Yungblud, Billie Elish, and Halsey, as well as my own personal aesthetic. I also pulled inspirations from designers I like such as Alexander Mcqueen, and Michael Ngo. Things like riots and protests also inspired my design and fabric choices. Fabrics such as leather, denim, and flannel struck me as being punk and rebellious. The Coronavirus pandemic has impacted me and my scene in many positive and negative ways. Some of the negatives are that deadlines have been moved forward giving me less time to finish my work.

Another thing is that I’m not able to get help with answering questions as quickly as if I were in class. However, there are many positives too. I am now able to work on creating for a full day instead of only being able to work for an hour or so. It is also allowing me to experiment more with different ideas and techniques. I am very thankful that we are still able to do something in place of a runway show. By putting together a LookBook, it is allowing me to be more creative in my picture taking and what I can do to make this even more unique to me. I am really looking forward to seeing how this whole project comes together.
