fashion

In my project, my research question is what factors infulence fashion? My thesis statement is the fashion include many factors like history, designer, customers, culture, and stars. My purpose is to find out what fashion is, how fashion comes out. From my research I learn so far, I want to say to my audience that fashion is a attitude, the attitude to the lifestyle. Whoever you are the designer or customer or a popular star, the fashion comes out from the life. We found fashion from life, we look for beauti from the life. Therefore, everyone could be the leader of fashion, as desgners, they can make beautiful design, the good parrtern of products, they make fashion products base on they get fashion inspiration from their attitude to lifestyle. As a customers, they can decide they fashion, they choose they fashion products base on their lifestyles, so they can match their dressing so that fashion could decide by customers. As poupluar stars, they make fashion trend base on their job, sometimes, their job require them to dress fashionable, also what the dressing they choose also base their attitude to the lifestyle? So my qusetion is how the fashion comes out? who make the fashion and how to make a fashion. The other one is fashion is an attitude to the lifestyle, how important can inflence fashion? My next step to my project is to looking for some people's blog, like Edsion Chen, or some designer or popular star, I want to know where their fashion inspriation come from, and what make them to make fashion, what are their attitude to the lifestyle.

In my slideshow, I would like to talk about the famous Star influent the fashion trend. The advertisement is an important factor to decide what if a fashion could be popular. As a marketing skill, ask a famous star to make the advertisement will have great effect for the customers; also the brands can expand their prestige. The popular brands need media to let people know their products, and the famous stars are such good media. A popular star always be supported and loved by a lot fans. So what the star wear could be the hotspot in the fashion. In my slideshow, I would like to illustrate that how fashion brands use famous to help them sell their products. I will insert many pictures what are about the famous present an official with particular brand’s product. Customers watch the TV, and they may want to buy that because the famous star like pretty. Everyone wants to dress pretty and nice, so the famous stars are good model for them. They try to imitate what star wear so that they will buy the particular fashion brand’s product. So the famous star is factor which cans influent the fashion trend. The fashion brands always design their products which follow the star’s style. We can say, the famous star have the much potential to be the leader in the fashion world. Edison Chen, who is a singer and movie star in Hongkong China, he found his brand CLOT in 2003 and developed the most popular and famous fashion brand in China. The Clot became popular not only Edison Chen has the outstanding gift about fashion, but also because he is a popular star, so he has great effect to the people. So the star affection which can decide a brand if could be successful.

podcast

In my podcast, I will still talk about the fashion, however, in my porcast, I would like to change a little bit from my webtext. In the webtext, I talk about a lot about the brands history, their designer, quality,and customers. However, I think fashion is not only relate to the fashion brands, also relevent to the customer. In my webtext, I talk about some factors in the fashion, but I think I neglect one factor which is customers. So, in my podcast, I will stand on customers position to talk about fashion. In my podcast, I would like to insert a interview in my podcast. I will invite one of my friend, Zuyu Liu, to talk about fashion.
I will ask them about what they think about fashion, it means what the fashion defition in their mind.
If, there is a brand he need to choice from LV, Levis, CLOT, which one he choice? and why?
As a customer, what he think about is the most important in the fashion?
there are many factors in the fashion, like designers, quality, history, customers, do you think there are important to the fashion?
I will ask him about those questions, maybe more, and I will conclud what my opinion in the end.

In Mika's podcast, I hope she can focus on the issue, to let people know about the issue is important to the pharmacy. And what else is that how the patient could do if they find out there is a pharmacy problem.

In Delisa's podcast, I hope she can exphasize the change between the past pinup and today's. It is better to illustrate the distinguish by using podcast. What is the pinup change, why people perfer this one not the old one, that could be the good main point.

my website review.

In the conference with my professor, she help me to figure out my grammer problems. There are a lot of grammers in my text, like some pass tense, or I loss articles. What I think I need to care more about my grammer. Also I use the source from about. com which web site is not reliable. Moverover, I need to work on the connection between each paragraphs. The connection could make the article look like more flowly.
In Sharon comment, she give me very good advise which I think could improve my work. First she also point the About.com could not be source, and she suggest to use like Wbster's dictionary. I appricate she give me a good suggestiong to finding difintion. She mentioned that my thesis statement is not strong enough, I should promote my thesis may be change into Fashion has been developing for hundreds of years. During this time, fashion has been changing not only with the times, but with the new trends emerging as well. She said there are only citation in my texe, I need to put more in the text. Morever, I do not have recommonded reading for reader, so I need to add this in my work. There also is a link problem, my Lv source link do not work, so I need to relink it and make it right. I do not have background, so I should choose a background to fit my topic. There are some grammer mistakes and some sentences do not make sense so I have to work on it. And she said if I add a sub-heading, the information between each paragraphs will more clearly.
I totally agree with her comments which I think is help my text a lot

group work october 12

In my partner Sharon's work, she has a good title for it. I think it make sense, her title is Sensation-Seeking, and her artilce is follow her title. The size font and color is great, I can see the title very clearly. My partner put her name in the webtext where is under the title. She has good webtext chunk between each paragraphs. I think she use Calibri for her webtext. She has very good images whice can help with illurstate her concept. In her web-text, there are four heardings, and each one is meaningful, these headings make her article clearly and well-organize. She add 7 hyperlinks through her web-text, what I think her hyperlink is useful because there are more information about sensation seeking, so if people feel confuse in her concept, they could use the hyperlink to look for example. Sharon's thesis statement is her first sentence in her text. Her text is closely follow her thesis. She has topic sentences for each section,and each sentence can very clearly to explain what the concept come next. She has many sources, some come from books and some from google scholar.
In Sharon's work, she has logos, her text is logical connection with good concepts. There is no ethos and pathos in her work, because she did not put her personal opinion and emotion in her text.
What I think is Sharon has a very nice work!

summarize and respond

I look for the article talk about the fashion brands characteristics. There are the article I summarize.

In Lv's article said that since from 19th century, LV's products were made by hand. For example, like the LV's trunk, the craftman arrange the leather and canvas, trapping in the tiny nails one by one to make sure the any five-letter solid pick-proof lock has an individual handmade key. This device make traveler to have only one key for their luggage. The trunk are made of 30-years-old poplar tree which was needed to dry for at least fours years.

From this article, I understand what the factor make Lv to be a top brand in the world-the quality. Lv kept their high-quality from hundred years ago. Lv gave up their production efficent but in order for their quality. I think that is the reason why Lv could develope to a top brand.

In CLOT's article said that the CLOT is a new brand which represent a new culture. This brand always cross cooperate with some famous brands like LV, Levis, Nike and so on. They re-design these brands old product with new printed. People who tired for the design from these brands would like to buy CLOT. However, CLOT has to use coopration to build their credit, and this brand need to produce something belong to their own style.

I read this article from a fashion magazine. I thinks this article is very objective. The advantage of Clot is new desgin. Their products totally overthrow the old pattern from others brands. People who like accpect new fashion would like this brand. But what I think is their production is base on what other brands made, and Clot should developed their own style without others productions.

These articles help me to find a common thing among the fashion brands. I am thinking about the fashion brands factors which can attract people to buy. I think quality is an important aspect to build credit from customers. Therefore, their customers will expand to more and more people. And the fashion brands were developed by their customers. Fashion is kind of the new things, so people who pursue fashion seem likely accept the new degsin. So the fashion brands need to keep producing new design products in order to attract people buy their products.

group work

In today’s group work, I work with Robot. I read his article which is Designer Babies. I followed the instructions which look for main idea. And this is the main idea what I think.
The designer babies call for people’s argument about ethical issue. Some people think this technique will avoid diseases and support this technique. But some people disagree with this technique and think this technique will cause big issue in the future and should prohibits by laws.
I talk with Robot, he agrees with my main idea which he thinks is pretty similar with his.

The paraphrases I have read form the guideline from the web-site. I and Robot’s paraphrases are similar but I think his is better than me because his is briefer.
The twenties were the years that America becomes totally different with past. Drinking was limited by the laws what people couldn’t understand. Crimes was increasing, however polices can stop it. Classical music was abandoned by people because Jazz took the place, and young started to admire the men like Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie. Flapper was the fashion which brought bobbed hair and short skirts in twenties.
Compare to the example that given in the web-site, I think my paraphrase is plagiarized version.
