And PLEASE do your own research on your fabrics and stuff k. I'll ask Ling Ling again for the sewing workshop. Have an enjoyable weekend and

2009-05-19T07:47:00.000-07:00

Alrite guys, please please do your homework by finding research about fabrics and stuff. We need to find out what materials suit our costumes. And I agree with Luke we should head down to Laselle to see their fashion show because their concept is quite similar to us because they're doing a 30 minute fashion show. And I got to show to you guys the floor plan A.S.A.P
Also, the Poster for the models should be up by this week so that we can mass mail it to the school by next MONDAY. Need some help for the design for the poster. Let's Do It Guys! Focus!

Hey guys, here are some of the notes that i've took down during the meeting and hope we could all work together towards it. Have a great weekend ahead!

1. Research

Why elderly are dressed in certain style?
User experience - how does the elderly feel when wearing?
Needs of elderly and how can we project that to our sketches
Why are we inspired by certain looks? e.g. from movies

2. Consideration

economic climate
social climate
political climate
body type and height of elderly
Theme for fashion show - according to seasons/age range?
personas of the elderly - characteristics
budget
materials/fabrics

love, Luke

Things To Be Done By 6th MAY

2009-04-30T10:04:00.000-07:00

Alritee guys, as said by Raihanah in the previous post, please spam, spam and spam! (haha kidding).. ask your friends to do the our online monkey survey thingy aites!

Also not forgetting we need to do a survey on the elderly also! Try going around and ask the elderly these 2 questions aite!

1)Are you still keeping up with the latest trends?

2)What do you look for when you buy clothes?
o Comfort
o Aesthetics
o Price
o Brand

And do try to find uncle/pakcik out there who still dresses up cooly even though they're in their 40s and above and ask them the reason why they do that? If possible take photos of them or even record a video if you want to !

Remember we have until NEXT WEDNESDAY, to show Chuan our sketches and also to compile all the answers from our surveys and present it to him. We can do it guys! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! =D

Love, Amin
