ESSAY SYNOPSIS AND FEEDBACK- PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY

ESSAY SYNOPSIS AND FEEDBACK_


I felt I didn't do very well with my synopsis. I didn't dedicate enough time to it, and therefore it wasn't very thorough. After having a group tutorial, it appeared that the standard of the synopsis’ were very high. The problem that I had was that I wasn't 100% certain as to what I would be writing in my essay- I hadn't at that point done enough research and this showed, there wasn't enough depth to my synopsis and it didn't suggest the body of my essay. However the tutorial was really beneficial to understand the standard I should be at. I was given the opportunity to look through and discuss other synopsis’ from my year group which really helped me realise the sort of structure I needed to take. Looking at other peoples work spurred me to take a step back and really think about where I was going- I felt at a bit of a loss at this time of the course, and I was rushing modules as I hadn't been able to dedicate enough time to each part. 
Another part I needed to explore was my source of research, and go into more depth about how I would use this research and where it would go in my essay.
When I received my blog post, I received the feedback that I needed to develop and expand my synopsis- it wasn't really a synopsis at this point. I had the basic structure, but there was no depth to the information I had provided.

FASHION AND CONSUMERISM

I wish to explore the issues surrounding fashion and the consumer. Through the use of personal experiences working within retail, in depth research into subjects such as the ethics within high street chains and high end fashion labels, and the links between designers (haute couture to designer collaborations to high street shops) I will be able to develop my own personal philosophy and opinion on the topic.


-Identity and freedom of choice
Fashion is all about making a statement utilising clothing and its customer by conveying to the world that they are more different and more unique than the average 
degree of control exercised by industry?
Consumer acceptance determines which will become the fashion

-Rise of the mass market, invention of the consumer, advertisement

-Fast fashion, high street fashion 
obsolescence of desirability as opposed to planned obsolescence of quality
-Small companies vs large companies (independent-chain)
-Retail vs fashion houses, designer vs high street. Can they compete? 

-Ethics and cost production
less concerned with the efficient production of goods than with anticipating the changing preferences of customers


-Consumption and the environment
