Fashion Personal Statement Examples

"Hollie, why do you always look at what people are wearing?" was something my mother said to me in my early teens, and she was right. To me, fashion is body language. It is a non-verbal form of communication showing a lot about the wearer to the observer...

From a young age I have had a great interest in beauty therapy and its ability to promote within me a positive enhancement of my physical and mental self image. I also feel that it has a strong impact on me, both in terms of being mentally challenging and also as a hands on profession...
Fashion is creative, seductive, always changing and a form of art, to others it is a religion. To me I use fashion to express myself and also to show my personality but also look glamorous.

Whether it’s the war paint of the Native American tribes or the whited-out faces of the Japanese Geisha and Kabuki, or the avant garde looks of a John Galliano or Alexander McQueen fashion show, make up has always seemed to play a part in society and is used to create characters and to evoke an emotional response...

Fashion is an eternally evolving outlet for expression. I have a profound interest in how clothing can portray a message about one's self.

Fashion; to me it is an art. It is a concept that can be interpreted in various ways for each individual, which, for me makes it fascinating- everyone has a different style. For some people, self-expression is difficult, having an individual style gives these people the ability to show their personality and beliefs and this intrigues me...
Like Maria Grazia Chiuri, my enthusiasm for fashion began as an adolescent trying to figure out who I am. When Chiuri said 'I would mix it all together, probably because I was looking for my identity' I found this described my situation perfectly...
