MY TOPIC FOR THIS SEMASTER

My topic – the fashion brand
I decide to choose this topic because I like shopping. It sounds like a girl’s hobby but I like this too. Not only for dressing me up look so cut, but also to meet my curiosity. Compare with China, America could be the shopping paradise. The lower cost can buy the better product than in china. According to the economic rules, human beings respond to the incentive. Therefore, I love this topic and I have enough motivation to do my work. My final goal is to share my experience with others. I want to make a shopping guide for people, and hope it could give people some useful suggestion.
My content will involve some famous and fashion brand like LV, Gucci, Chanel, Dior, there are the top fashion brands in the world. Also I want to introduce some brands for the students, like Levis, A&F, Diesel and so on. Finally I want to introduce my favorite brands like Evisu, A bathing ape, Fenom, and Y-3. If you want to know what this brands’ outstand characters, you need to know their history first. Second you want the product picture to illustrate their unique character. Where their shop locate and how you can buy are must include in my shopping guide. How much are their prices, and also I will seek for some outlet online shop store to share with people.
My problem for this project will in three aspects. The first is there will be much information for me to pick out the useful one, so I have to face the challenge of much reading. The second is if I want to illustrate their characters, I cannot just to show their all products, I need to pick one which could represent their topical characters. The third is my research will depend on online source, how to verify the source will be another problem.

Okay, you’ve offered a bit of what you know about fashion brands. What you need to do now is narrow it. The topic you’ve chosen is a fantastic topic and I know you have a great deal of interest in it; however, it’s much too broad to use as your topic this semester. We need to narrow it down.

Are you going to discuss fashion brands in the United States or China, or someplace else? From what you’ve written, it’s not clear.

First, what do you mean by “lower cost?” Do you mean these brands cost less in the United States? Or do you mean they cost less in China? And what do you mean by “incentive?” The lower cost (where?) gives consumers an incentive to buy?

You’ve offered so many designer names; it might be a good idea to narrow it down to one or two, so we can focus this topic. The lack of focus is preventing you from developing three questions that pinpoint what you do not know about this topic.

So let’s talk seriously about focusing this HUGE topic.

Additionally, this isn't just a report - we need to identify a problem within the fashion industry, and then investigate that problem throughout the semester. That's where you will get your final research question from.
