Pyer Moss continues to redefine itself every season with collections and runways that combine storytelling, activism, debate, theatre and social commentary; all while using collaboration with artists and brands as a medium to further the dialogue around seasonal themes.

    Blog response – it’s inspiring to see the worlds of fashion and politics fuse to create a positive statement. It exemplifies the impression fashion has on the world because they are using clothing as a tool to get younger people to vote and to bring awareness to the presidential election. Using limited edition clothes urges buyers to act quickly so that they may be apart of the exclusivity. That’s a great way to earn proceeds for the community because people love exclusiveness.

    Audience – The author, Sydnei Jarman, displays the blog in light of a coming-of-age story or Help-guide. One could conclude that she is speaking to the young and impressionable. Specifically, young girls may feel lost or need guidance through adolescence. The previous can be supported by the author’s “Meet Sydnei Jarman” page on the blog; here she discusses some of her tribulations and how she wished she had the same knowledge she has now when she was in high school. The blog does not only reflect on girlish, adolescent troubles, but also economic aspects, pop culture, fashion, and politics, and marketing; it is a well-rounded Blogspot.

    Purpose – The purpose of “Her Modern Life” is to share the story of being a black woman in America according to Sydnei Jarman. It was published publicly so that the content, information, and opportunities that are available on this blog can be shared with the youth in the U.S. “exist to resist” is a piece created to spread awareness about the importance of voting for this upcoming election and offer people a chance to make a charitable donation to something that directly affects us all as a nation. The Exist to resist blogpost essentially spotlights the non-profit organization Rock the Vote by Diddy Combs and their mission.

    Tone/ Voice – The overall tone employed by the author is optimistic, informal, and gives a positive connotation to black businesses and black professionals. The author discloses that she is a scholar and that she holds two different bachelor’s degrees, which exemplifies the idea that her words hold validity and that this Blogspot can be engineered towards the interests of professionals as well. Being able to purchase clothing from the blog further indicates the previous. Implements of personal experiences and lifestyle blogposts add to the idea of the informality because they are based on the feelings of the author and were posted to sync with like-minded individuals.

    Style – “Her modern Life” has a flower child aesthetic. One could coin “flower child” as someone unconventional, advocate for idealism and values love, peace, and simplicity. The yellow tones, different flowers, and pop art all add to that “flower child” style that is presented. The language used through the blog conveys a business casual tone to the blogposts. The previous is displayed through exceptional grammar, and business-related ideals that are often mentioned in many posts; contrary, the causality is exhibited through the more personal or intimate entries that are shared.
