Special Occasion Speech (Introduction) I will be doing an introduction of a young Dutch fashion designer Iris Van Herpen. I chose to introduce her because she is a good example of successful woman. She became famous for the water dress she designed, and has the nickname of “little McQueen.” They are both very talented and their designs are very innovative.
I think my audience might like this topic, because that there are many well-known designers in the world, but very few of them can achieve accomplishment like her in such a young age. I will be aware of my tone when I introduce her achievements. Using different tone, and some gestures while introducing her might show my passion for this designer.
If eyes are the windows to your heart, then the windows of a designer must be their first well known masterpiece. Today I will be introducing Iris Van Herpen. She is a Dutch designer that became well known for her water dress. She started her own label at the age of 27! Her designs require very unique treatment of materials, every garment she designed is very different and edgy. Sometimes she even creates new materials for her designs. She inspired me so much because sometimes when you look at her works, she can make the time stop! The water dress has the effect of water poured on the model and stayed there. When the water freezes it’s either it’s below 32 degrees, or time has stopped. What a successful young woman she

    This paper has been far more difficult to research than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, photographers are not always given the full credit they desrve for their work and therefore, it is impossible to find the names of the artists of some of my favorite photographs. Instead, I decided to just look up popular photographers in the fashion industry in hopes of having easier access to information. Despite the fact that I now had the names of some of the most world famous fashion photographers, finding information on them is a whole other story in and of itself. As I am beginning to realize, the saying among the photography department is true- if you are not Annie Leibovitz, you will not be known until you are dead. For example, one of my favorite photographers is Diane Arbus. She had compiled vast amounts of work throughout her career. Unfortunately, all of her works were found in a locker after her suicide and then she was seen as an artist. To summarize what I am saying is that the only famous photographers are dead ones and all the successful ones are barely known. So in order for this research paper to even have the possibility of making it it to four pages, I am going to have to choose the cliché (yet greatly talented) photographer, Annie Leibovitz.…

    It’s not that easy being green. It’s not that easy being a frog, either. Some would say that he is the most awesome amphibian of all time. Others would proclaim him a puppet above the rest. His name and footprints are on a star at Grauman’s Chinese Theater, a rare honor given only to the best in Hollywood. It’s an even greater leap for an amphibian. You guessed it. I am here today to honor Kermit the Frog, a well-mannered, always positive, funny, frog who left the life of a quiet, peaceful swamp in the bayou to take on the world with his green philosophy. To some Kermit is an icon of hope for a greener, cleaner world, and to others he is an inspiration towards acceptance and kindness to his fellow creatures on Earth. To ALL who have ever heard Kermit speak or sing, he is the voice of wisdom and encouragement when they just need a smile.…

    Over the years his real job has come with many different titles. For 50 years he has been a son and brother, for 31 he has been a loving father, for 26 he has been a dedicated husband, for 5 he has been a grandfather, and for 18 years and counting he has been and will always be my mentor. Today I would like to honor my father John Zachary Smith, and explain to you how and why he has become my mentor. Standing at exactly 6 feet tall, sporting dark black hair and tan skin, being loud, extremely talkative and radiating with energy, are just a few characteristics that can be attributed to his Italian heritage. When introducing himself to someone new, he reaches out his rough and calloused hand giving them a firm handshake and replies “My name’s John Smith, really honest”. My father has the ability to make friends with anyone because he is truly a real joy to be around. He sparks conversations with people and it would seem that were best friends.…
