Forget Shopping. You Will Download Your New Clothes!

It is not easy to answer this question, "What is fashion?” because it means
different things to different people. Fashion is an art. It is a religion. It's a Job. It's a
peek into a personality. But ultimately, fashion is an Individual statement of
expression for each of us. Fashion is Important to a lot of people, but many of the
clothes that are fashionable today didn't start as fashion Items. Some clothes 97 .......
as something practical and became fashionable after more people started to wear
them. But today, becoming a popular brand le not difficult. YouTube videos, social
media and 98……. can make something popular ovemight. This fast popularity
brings a new trend, fast fashion. Fast fashion means that the latest designs appear
at the fashion shows in Fans, Milan and London; then in a short time they become
a high Street fashion. So, the average person can buy them and keep up with fast
moving trends cheaply. We can say that this fashion le good for the customers,
because they can wear fashionable clothes and buy these clothes cheaply. It is also
good for leading 99……… of clothing, because fast fashion means fast
consumption which brings money.
 On the other hand, fast fashion Is not good for employees and the environment.
In order to reduce production costs, producers employ children with very low
wages. Moreover, some employees work under bad conditions. They work long
hours of work, often In dangerous conditions with 100…….. payment for overtime.
The environment 101…………. negatively by the wasted clothes, too. Cotton
growers need to produce more cotton more cheaply, and it is impossible without
102
………….. chemicals. So, that is the question: How can people solve this
problem? The answer is 3D-printed fashion.
Danit Peleg is a fashion designer and the creator of 3D-printed clothes. In
1953, her parents founded a textile factory in 103………. Paris. Today, Danit and
her brothers Hugo and Luca are 104……….. that factory. They are directing the
business and activities of the factory.
Danit is a busy business woman and as part of her job she attends lots of
meetings and business dinners. One day, while she 105……. to Prague for a
technology conference, she got an invitation for an Important event in 106………..
United Kingdom. She wanted to wear something special and new. She looked
through her suitcase and couldn't find anything to wear. She was lucky to be at the
technology conference on that day, and she had access to 3D printers. She decided
107
……… her dress herself. She quickly downloaded the application from the
internet and 108……. it on her computer. Then she designed a dress on her
computer and loaded the file to the printer.

LA LALAND
I was interested in 109………. this film because not only am I a sucker for a
good musical, but I'll admit to being a big fan of Ryan Gosling and I was Intrigued
to see what the director of Whiplash would do with s musical picture to make it
fresh and unique. So when I 110…….. the chance to see a late-planned viewing at
the London Film Festival, i jumped at the chance (FYI, Ryan Gosling came to the
screening ss a surprise post-film Q&A attendee despite not appearing at the
Headline Gala the night before so I was chuffed!).
The premise of 111…….. story is that Stone is a young actress who 112……. to
LA to wait tables while auditioning to try and 'make it, while Gosling is a jazz
purist ("Anyone who doesn’t like jazz just doesn't have the right..context", he
insists) who plays the piano in bars to make a fiving and dreams of opening his
own Jazz bar. Or to put it succinctly-Two young artists meet and fall in love while
chasing their dreams", The musical flows thematically from first love to heartbreak
and every other emotion between, with great music throughout. In fact, compared
to this film, all other films of the year are 113……… dull when considering the
musical score.
The most impressive thing about the film, for me, is just how daringly it
dances between the old- fashioned “Singing” In The Rain style of musical, and a
bolder, modern style. The song numbers are 114…….. (the opening number
received a round of applause in my viewing) and pay homage to classic musicals-a
thoughtful mixture of old school dance numbers you'd expect from a musical in the
60s, and emotionally-wrenching ballads that hit you where it hurts; there is one
particular sequence toward the end of the film which is a real gut-punch.
Stylistically the film skirts this same line; the film again looks and acts like a
classic musical but frequently we see low-key reminders that this is modem day;
actresses using their iPhones, a video being seen on YouTube, etc., to remind us
that this is set in the present day. If we didn't have these reminders, the visuals
would almost have you thinking that this is how the 1950s 115………. to be. The
cinematography is beautiful and overall the film is visually stunning. There is also
no doubt that it is wonderfully directed, with the same masterful control of pace
and tension that we come to expect from Damien Chazelle thanks to Whiplash.
Gosling in particular is absolutely terrific, with a typically sardonic wit
throughout. At the star of the film when his sister says she's worried about him as
life seems 116……… him on the ropes, he responds “l wanna be on the ropes. I'm
just letting life think it has me and then before you know it. SAM it’s a classic
rope-a-dope”. His delivery of these sorts of lines can't be matched, and it’s easy to
see why the producers said in the post-film Q&A that he was the person they
wanted for the role in their wildest dreams, It's a role made for him with tons more
of the above kind of lines. But more that.
