The reason I have chosen to research the designer Claire
Coles is I find her work very inspiring. she uses old wallpaper
to print and embroider over. I think this a really good way of reusing
old fabric and wallpaper , her work is very unique and is amazing to
look at which I like.

Report Research: Clarrissa Hulse

I have chosen to research the designer Clarissa Hulse for my report
because her work is very inspiring, she uses bright , bold colours
to express her work , which is usually prints of  nature. I
 like her work because she is not afraid to just go for it and
this is probably the reason she has had so much success.

Sophia Webster: Fashion

These images are from the designer Sophia Webster's collection, what I like about her work is she is not afraid to use colour and pattern,

 

She mixes patterns and adds humour to her work[1]

 

she has also recently teamed up with makeup brand Revlon to create a range of shoes that were inspired by Revlon's latest lipstick collection , which I think is very interesting and unique.

Mass Production



http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/design/images/tx_production.jpg

This image is an example of mass production within the textile industry,                                               I have chosen to research mass production as it is                                                                                     what interests me the most.                                                                                                                      Mass production has its good and bad side, the good side                                                                    being you can manufacturer big amounts of items,                                                                               so for example this could mean fabric or prints etc.                                                                           mass production became prominent in the 1900s [1]                                                                      It also works out better for the main boss of the company for                                                which the products are being made                                                                                                  As it will be cheaper for them.                                                                                                                It also works out to be less expensive by making the                                                                            product in larger amounts. But a disadvantage might be                                                                     that due to the quickness of making the products,                                                                                                                                                                not every product will always be the same.                                                                                  Large quantities, you cannot check for                                                                                       accuracy until several have been made[2].                                                                           An advantage is that it does give a person a job                                                                   and a wage but they might not get paid                                                                               very well, which is a disadvantage.

These images show my group work about ethics and answering different questions about a group of people and trying to work out the ethics, how they would be influenced etc.

Target Markets

Target markets are what company’s will aim their products to so a specific group of people for example a shop such as super dry would most probably aim their products at a younger market. Whereas a shop such as Laura Ashley would aim their products at older people because their style is more of a period style when it comes to interiors, their clothes are also aimed at an older market/ majority.
