In the spring showcase, I got the chance to see Fresh Dressed and I think it is very an interested and fun documentary, how the black people make the culture become their identity of their life. This documentary is directed by Sacha Jenkins which chronicles the history of hip hop fashion. Hip-hop become their culture and how they are dress or their fashion does really matter to the world. The famous people such as Kanye West, Andre Leon Tally, Riccardo Tischi, Harlem swag savant Dapper Dan, and Thurston Howell III, one of the founders of the Lo Lifes. The combined narrative of these folks weave a tale which Jenkins says “begins with slavery and ends with what is being rocked today–and what the social implications attached to it all are.” Fashion such a big deal for the famous people like them, because famous people know branded stuff that are good for them and become their identity. They are wearing the branded stuff and it will become famous and the audience will follow them, because they are thinking that is very cool and "I should wearing them because they were them." One of the examples that they are wearing is the oversized pants that now most all people think that is the trend and cool. This is a great thing that should be history of the hip hop and fashion. Style has always been quintessential part of the hip hop ethos, and therefore the film chronicles both the history of “hip hop” fashion, as well as the history of the culture at large. What the film demonstrates is that it’s not how much money an item or outfit costs, but the power ascribed to the pieces. The garments worn by those in hip hop are often not made to be worn by those donning them, but it’s the new energy that hip hop brings to those pieces which is truly special. http://massappeal.com/fresh-dressed-a-documentary-on-the-fashion-of-hip-hop/ Video Respond to the Documentary.

Created by Vania Boediman & Nabila Justianto This semester, HIFF (Hawaii International Film Festival) screened some of the international movies. The executive director of HIFF, Robert Lambeth, came to our class and told us about his 33 years of career in the movie industry. He moved back to Hawaii from London because he wanted to help developing this HIFF. His background is music business, and 15 years in finance. He also gave us free tickets to see a movie at this spring showcase of HIFF. He said that some of the movie makers are creative young adults and he wanted us to be inspired. He said that HIFF are more known to the internationals than the locals. He traveled around the world and many countries wanted to join the HIFF. A lot of movie critics bring a lot of audiences and make them interested in the HIFF. HIFF’s goal is not to market the festival, but to educate and inspire young people in the world. His words on the HIFF's website: “It is an honor for me to be part of such an extraordinary organization and I am very grateful for the overwhelming support I’ve received from the HIFF Board of Directors and from previous Executive Directors Chuck Boller and Jeannette Paulson. Thanks to their great leadership, for over 33 years HIFF has made a vital and tangible difference to the lives of so many in our Hawai’i Ohana. I look forward to building on that worthy legacy and I’m truly excited about HIFF’s future potential.” Apple watch, just last week they are open for pre-order and people already start pre-ordered this Apple watch. What is Apple watch exactly? Is a brand new apple product, first from the ground up product line since the iPad and since in a way a new type of wrist worn super iPod. It is also a symbiotic of iPhone companion and a fitness device.
The advantage of this product it is a beautiful constructed, compact smart watch. It is feature packed, with solid fitness software, hundreds of apps, and the ability to send and receive calls via an iPhone. If its there is some advantage, they should have the disadvantage of it. Some reviews said that the problem of the apple watch it is the battery that only last for a day and recharge time is slow and sometimes show to communicate with a paired iPhone. Everything has their own weakness and also strength. (Apple Watch Review) The Apple Watch is the most ambitious smart watch, but first-gen shortfalls make it feel more like a fashionable toy than a necessary tool. There are some ratings that shows the rating of the design is pretty high and also the software and the feature. But overall they rate the Apple watch 7.8/10. (Apple Watch Review) The amazing thing about Apple Watch is they have application from the iPhone that can be open in the apple watch, and Apple also wants the costumer thing that it is a fine jewelry. They make the design elegant and the costumers can choose the several of design. The Apple Watch comes in three different models, two different sizes and six different finishes, with a range of swappable bands and prices ranging. It is design to be Apple’s most personal product, which is fashion as much as it is tech. (Apple Watch Review) Do Apple Watch going to change the world perspective? In my opinion this Apple Watch going to change everything. They going to change how the lifestyle changing which is healthier than ever. They do not need a phone anymore to communicate to others.
