Week 8 EOC: Exercise

Many of us have an idea for a branded fashion product that is missing in the world. Design and brand a fashion product that you think is missing from the marketplace. Before you start you will need to conduct research to see if it already exists. Also you should figure out if there is a need for the product. Use current periodicals such as Women's Wear Daily or WWD Accessories to help you with your research. Explain your findings to the class.

One idea for a product that doesn't already exist in the marketplace is a vending machine that offers a variety of supplies for mothers. These vending machines would be found in such places as malls, amusement parks, zoos, and generally every public place that families may frequent. Diapers, baby wipes, first aide kits, socks, pull-up training pants, baby formula packs, snacks for small children and toddlers, basic clothing items, and even Tylenol for mothers would be found in these vending machines. They would supply moms with necessities that are sometimes needed in an emergency or forgotten at home. This vending machines could be fashionable by offering things designed specifically for them by different designers every few months. This would give the items offered in the machines an exclusivity factor that would make the product even more desirable. Even if some of the things weren't needed, maybe stylish mothers would just start collecting the designer goods because they appeal to her fashion sense.
