Question 1: What countries you saw most often in your interviews?
Answer 1: I mostly saw a lot of people with clothes form China. But I have to say most there were places that you don’t often talk about, those were from people who were rich, wealthy.
Question 2: Tell us about your most interesting interview.

The country that we saw the most that the cloths were maid from was Malaysia and Korea. The most interesting interview that we did was the one with nelson. He was a crazy guy who looked like if he got in a big fight because he had a black eye and was obsessed with saying that all the rich people were fake. I liked that at least one of the people that we were interviewing actual guessed the country he was wearing
Most of the shirts people we interviewed had were made in Korea, Malaysia, Italy, Indonesia, china, Thailand. The most interesting interview was a guy name jimmy lee a Chinese guy that worked at the Nike store. We went inside to take pictures of the clothing .He was very nice and he folded the clothing very well and he was 20 years old. His shirt was made from Malaysia and his sneakers were made in Vietnam he describes his personal style as unique. He was very nice and he said it was ok for us to ask him the questions.

The most cloth we saw is from China.
In this activity I like most is to ask people where they cloth made and ask what they thik they personal style and taking the picture of them. in this activity i like least like is to find the people who can let us to interview and most people don't want us interview.
The clothes we saw when we was interviewing people were from Sri Lanka, Portugal, Mexico, China, and Turkey. The interview that I liked the most when was there was a girl that we was speaking to. She was from Germany and she had things from all over the world like her shirt was from Portugal and her skirt was made from Tokyo, and her shoes were from China. It was interesting because she was from out of this country and had things from out of this country and she purchased all her clothes form the U.S.A.

The country that I noticed were worn most in the people that I interviewed was china.
My most interesting interview was a young man who’s name I forgot. I found it interesting because my style of dressing and his style of dressing were similar in some ways. He described his style of dressing as kind of a school boy look. He was dressed in a green baseball cap, green dress shirt, fitted jeans, and green Nikes. The young man told me in the interview that everything he had on is made in china which I seriously doubted. I wanted to check his shirt but he was in a hurry. Another person who was interesting to interview was a business man which is also the way he described his style of dressing. The middle age gentleman told us that his suit and tie was made in Italy. I had a lot of fun interviewing people around where I live.
I was taking picture, we saw clothing from Malaysia .I was asking people can you answer 3 questions and take you a picture and some people said yes some people said no .But some people liked it.

The first thing me and my group met this really nice guy and he really didn’t know how to speak English and he was 37.the guy didn’t really care about fashion and his shirt was from this company
name turkey.He started to tell Mr Seth that he was homeless and found any shirt.The reson why i like the interview was i got to go to any stranger and ask for help and some the was mean but thats ok beause there fanshion wasnt all that any why.Brittney holloman
First my group and I met an interesting men that was from Cuba and asked him what kind of clothes he wears and he sincerely responded that he didn’t cared about fashion and most of it how he looked that he was okay with the fact that he couldn’t afford much I asked where his shirt was made and actually found out that is was not made in the united states that it was made in turkey.
The country I saw the most was china and Vietnam it was interesting that people didn’t knew they wear clothes from different countries
I learned that many different places around the world have they’re own style and business
I really liked going out and meeting people and there exciting history throughout there personal style.
