Style: A trend prediction company usually sells their predictions to design companies so that they can cross check and be confident that their own ideas will be adding desired clothing to the market. Some companies however prefer to set the trends than to follow them. Some, such as AllSaints (my distributor) take current trends and add a more sophisticated and unique twist which will draw in their niche market. This is a Gothic Lolita themed skirt and matching belt, based on the style of Vivienne Westwood. The colour scheme is taken from Gothic Lolita, and the structure is inspired by Westwood. The theme and style work very well together, for example, the idea of contrasting not only colours and shades but also contrasting textures is seen in both theme and style.
Social Cultural and Moral: The Fairtrade Foundation gives certification to companies/manufacturers when they have been proven to give fair pay and treatment to all people who contributed in the making of the products. When made in industry this will be considered through ensuring excellent working conditions, caring for the people involved, and also through good wages and profit to the places we source materials and components from. When designing a product it is important to consider who it is aimed at within our society of cultural diversity. I took this into account when I made sure to question my target market throughout the designing process. The product will have an economical effect on the environment, on individuals, societies and cultures, affecting the way in which they develop. For example; the cost of the fabric, manufacturing, labour and the transportation of the products. I must consider how much of that money goes towards benefiting each of the products origins. I should also be considering the effect that the product has on society as a whole. People wear clothes for modesty, comfort, protection and adornment, but in different cultures clothing choice can be used to express the wearer’s personality whereas as some pieces of clothing have uniform effects. Considering the way that my product affects the quality of people’s lives is also an important aspect. For example, my product could influence the way people work, live and spend their free time. Through research and interviews I have found that my product is most likely what people would want and would benefit from having, making it worth the cost. This makes it a good design. Also, the possible globalisation of my product should be considered. For example, my product could be produced on an industrial scale in another country, ad e sold there too. Whilst being good for business, ad creating jobs for people in that country, the shipping back of products and the effect of the cost and the environment.
Labelling: Due to compulsory regulations, textile products must be labelled with information which is of use to the consumer, and also to help manufacturers in the EU by keeping the fibre names and the method of labelling the same throughout the EU. When made in industry, the product should have a label on it stating the garments size, the name or percentage of the fabric (e.g. pure silk), and also have the wash care symbols stating 30’ wash, symbol for no tumble dry, 100’ iron temp and also the symbol for the Perchloroethylene dry cleaning symbol.
Packaging: Once a product has been made, it needs to be sold. Potential buyers are drawn in by marketing and advertising. Through marketing, we can find what the consumers want and need, set realistic prices and make commercially viable products, whilst through the advertising we can promote our product, both outside the distributing stores and inside them. For example, in the window of AllSaints, the product could be displayed on a mannequin with other products, for example a plain shirt and tights, with accessories to create an outfit whilst still making the skirt a centrepiece of the outfit and therefore more noticeable, and on clothing racks, surrounded by the plainer clothing so as to accent the contrast of the grey and the red in the product. Not only will the product be advertised via methods such as the AllSaints website, emails and online advertisements, and also in store but on a catwalk, for which I am making the prototype.
Environment sustainability: In order to create an environmentally friendly product, it has to be designed whilst considering suitable material that will be sustainable and wasting the least amount possible when cutting out pattern pieces, being aware of the appropriate methods of manufacturing and disposal/recycling, and also ways to avoid using chemicals which can harm the environment. A CFC is a synthetic substance which causes a lot of damage to the ozone layer, and I will not be using any CFC’. I should also be thinking about my carbon footprint during the manufacture of this product. My carbon footprint is a measurement of how much greenhouse gas is produced in the making of my product, whereas my eco footprint is the measurement of the impact my used energy has created, and the use of natural resources and renewable resources. Then at the end of my product’s life, I should consider the way in which the product should be disposed, and make sure to label any areas of the product which the consumer can see to dispose of responsibly. Recycling is important because it means we are learning to think about our consumer lifestyle, and that rubbish doesn’t just disappear when it leaves our house in a rubbish bin, but instead is rapidly filling up rubbish dumps. Recycling is good because we can help the environment. Reuse is also a helpful topic to consider, as instead of recycling the product at the end of its life, we can take a product which is still in good condition (but not of use to the original consumer) disassemble it, and use what we have to create another product. When designing the product, I had to think about reducing the amount of materials and components used, in order to reduce the amount of waste and to save energy by considering the methods used to make the product, and also to think about what type of material to use in order to encourage a longer life of the product, therefore reducing the amount of products the consumer will have to buy.
