Ethics

In todays session we learnt about Ethical and Environmental issues. I was interested in the subject of copyright. A lot of well known companies have been in the middle of copyright battles, one of the clothing companies who have been caught out a numerous amount of times is Forever 21. The image below shows Forever 21 copying somebody else's t-shirt design. I have linked the website below.

Trend Companies

I have been looking at different trend companies on the internet and came across the trend company 'WGSN'. I then clicked on Juniors Essentials - Apparel Spring 2015. This shows some trends that this company think will be popular in spring 2015. I looked through the slides and saw the trend 'Duster Cardigans', which I think is going to be a massive trend next spring. To get more information on next springs trends go to http://www.wgsn.com/content/board_viewer/#/55238/page/1.

 

Also on this website I clicked on Junior Essentials - Accessories Spring 2015, and flicked through the slides to see what's going to be on trend next spring. I came across 'Tactile Choker' which I think is going to be a big trend next year. A lot of celebrities have been photographed wearing chokers and I believe that they will be popular next spring. I think it'll be popular because its unique and dramatic. To get an insight of next years trends click on http://www.wgsn.com/content/board_viewer/#/55422/page/7



GroupTask

 

For todays task, we had to get into groups and write about target audiences. We had to think about; Age, Gender, What they find important, Hobbies, Shops, Jobs, Political Leanings and Influences.

                                  Here's a picture I took of our groups work.

Paris

I went to Paris last summer with my family and decided to share some pictures that I had taken. Paris is such a beautiful city and we visited as many landmarks as we could whilst we were there. We saw the Eiffel tower during the day and a night, when it lit up. My mum took a picture of my sister and I standing in front of the Eiffel Tower.
