Teen Fashion of the 21st Century

2009
We picked teen fashion because the fashion has changed a great deal in a short period of time. The clothes are intersting, girls are wearing booty shorts and tank tops, skinny jeans, baby bows, etc. A lot of the clothes now are inappropriate. I (Andrea) think it is distgusting seeing random people wearing short shorts or baggy pants. Fashion labels who you are, and what you represent. People judge you by what you wear, and if it doesn't look good, then bad things happen. What you dress like as a teen defines who you are as an adult. If you dress like a slut as a teen, you will probably be a skanky parent. Fashion tells who you are and what group you will be friends with. Good friends will benefit you in the long run and will make you a better person.

Team Collaboration

Communication was interesting. Since we're all friends, we kinda understood each other more. Certain parts were hard to agree on, but we eventually agreed. Another thing was agreeing on graphics, but we enough of those. Over all, we got along great.

Team Diversity

There was not much ethic diversity, but there was personality diversity. We had bubbly, girly, and mysterious. You wouldn't expect to see us hanging out, but we do and it works. We're all different. We all agree on what's hot and what's not. But, some of us wear those things that in the "what's not" category, but we make it work.
