There are many different ways a person or even a brand can stand out in fashion. A lot of fashion is repeated and recreated of course. Depending on what your style is and or what you like can determine what makes unique.

My Entry.......
Facial jewelry—an experimental approach to where and how jewelry can be worn that is more advanced than simple facial piercings. I started wearing face jewelry in 2015. The inspiration came from both African & Indian culture. Inspired by the look so much, I began to explore with my own jewelry. When I first started, I wasn't quite sure of the reaction I would receive from others. In the back of my mind, I didn't care. Adding face jewelry to my look is what most people know me for and what helps me stand out today.
This dress is a body modification and can also be a body supplement. The cultural component associated with this dress is ideology. Different cultures that wear face jewelry has their own belief, attitude and values towards the look. They may represent a particular achievement or position within the religion. My face jewelry is only worn for fun. It's a self-expression. Three cultural mechanism are family & kinship, communication, economic organization, socialization. Face jewelry can represent a tribe or family group in which it belongs to. Positioning of the face jewelry can symbolize a person’s status, both in today’s society and throughout history. People of higher social status or wealth often own and wear jewelry that is more valuable.
