Article Draft: Enlarged Quote1 I’ve known Elle Weis since elementary school, our neighborhoods are not even a 10-minute walking distance from each other. I can’t say I’ve seen someone grow to love themselves like they have, they’ve taken to wearing confidence on their sleeves in a way I hope to be able to do one day as well. I wanted to take the time to interview them as I wanted to know how their personal journey to discovering who they were, their beliefs, and what their gender identity is, is reflected through their fashion sense. “Coming out made me feel more comfortable in my own body.” Elle said, “In turn, giving me a great deal of confidence and new appreciation of my self-worth.” Insecurities tend to rise in adolescence regarding our appearances as we all begin to grow into ourselves and subconsciously compare ourselves to others around us. Media plays a large part in that, especially when it comes to fashion. “I always wanted to be a mix between masculine and feminine ever since I was a small child.” Elle claims, “But when I met more people more like myself, I learned about new types of fashion and how big the style spectrum really is.” Growing up enjoying typically masculine and feminine things equally, such as sports and fashion, Elle was placed in a world that wanted them to choose between the two without taking into consideration of a middle ground. “Gender is a social construct to me... everyone should be able to wear what they feel confident and comfortable wearing.” They expressed, talking about their feelings on the topic of stereotyping on gender expression, “I don’t feel there should be any stereotype.”1 Elle also practices Wicca, a belief system surrounding Pagan Witchcraft, which she says has also changed how she expresses herself, “I’ve taken in a more hippie or nature-like style because of it.” 2/1/2021 0 Comments Critical Reflection 3
