Brand identity The brand identity is very strong with simple, minimalistic logo designthat reminds customer high fashion brand. “No advertising” strategy is Zara’s strong side.

The strategy is to get as close as possible to high end and luxury brands, but at the same time maintain its midrange affordable prices.

Zara’s customers are mostly young individuals with a strong fashion sense and interest in the latest trends, but still cost-counscious.

With the leading time between designers and retailers it dictates at extreme pace, new models arrive twice a week and Zara employs many designers who are to predict customers’ needs and taste.

Lover Zara attracts customers by selling fashionable, affordable and good quality clothes. People tend to say “I love Zara!”.

They do because it gives them a feeling of affording to get high fasion for a price related to the quality. The brand image since the beggining stays very strong, clear and that’s the reason why the brand has many loyal customers. To make them feel even more special and stay that way Zara needs some improvement.

Jonas, 65 consultant

Target group: 60+

He loves gardening and swimming. He owns a summerhouse which he uses with his grandchildren every second weekend.

Very conscious about the environment.

SMUK model conclusion Using the SMUK model on the two segments 35-44 and 60-69 we came to the conclusion that the 35-44 is more appealing to Tesla’s brand, we have a generation which is more focused on carrier and luxury brands and quality.

Additionally, when we look at statistics it also shows that the segment 35-44 has a higher income than segment 60-69 which also is a factor because Tesla’s cars has a high cost price.

In advertisement Tesla can use the social media to communicate with 35-44 segment which is easier and less expensive compared to making TV commercials.

There is a higher competition in this segment because many car brands aiming for 35-44 ; cheaper electric car brands or other luxury brand as BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc.

Tools & Skills 5 mood board 11

Mood Board Minimalism-PopArt Pop Art was a movement established in the 1950’s with the idea to make usual, everyday pop-culture objects iconic and perceived as a piece of art.

Instead of using only artworks which everyone is familiar with, I decided to combine them with contemporary images that capture the mood of the particular art movement and develop a vision of how it could be interpreted in today’s world.

In the examination process I looked for images with bold, primary colours, as well as pastel tones with the focus on colour blocking.

The yellow and blue coat is a perfect example of the bright colours used in the works of Roy Lichtenstein.

People were also a huge inspiration for Andy Warhol, some of his most famous works are known to be the iconic celebrity portraits, so to resemble the same idea, I chose to show a portrait of a young American actress, who in my opinion could be a Warhol muse today.

Pop Art is also known to be playful in a way and the comic wallpaper pattern adds the feeling of it. The Campbell’s Soup Cans and the illustration of a banana for The Velvet Underground cover art are iconic works that just speak for themselves. On top of all the layers I created an old TV pattern to give the impression of a retro filter to the images. Like Warhol always said: “In the future everyone will be world famous for fifteen minutes”.

DT 1st Term Project research 15

Research Cradle to Cradle

Cradle to Cradle garment industry

The term “cradle to cradle” was first used in the 1970s by Walter R. Stahel. From the very beginning, he aimed to emphasise the importance of the holistic approach and the economic, ecologic and social advantages of the loop economy. In the concept materials defined as nutrients with the unique characterisation that such materials could be continually reused in biological and technical cycles.

William McDonough: “Of course, you’re not going to find the beginning, middle and end; that’s the point. The irony extends to the issues of design itself because we are designing for endlessness, and that’s really interesting.”

Cradle to cradle is not a new idea, it is a new concept which aims to a sustainable future in the economy, industry and society by integrating natures’ already existent patterns and solutions.

The Cradle to Cradle principle is getting more and more integrated into the design process and the production, and investments that do not only pay off on the long run but highly beneficial for everyone.

As the list, far from being exhaustive, shows more and more companies realise that and join the list of sustainable companies of which Cradle to Cradle is one of the strictest contributors.

The more Cradle to Cradle gets integrated with recent technology such as social media etc, the more companies we are going to have adapting to the module and it that way it is going to create a bigger influence and more awareness for the every day consumer to choose differently while making daily purchases etc.

The cradle to cradle life cycle show a concept on how biological and technical metabolisms can avoid toxic processes when creating materials so it can be either decomposed into the nature or recycled and used again.

Concept development H&M case Idea in brief Pop-up store with promotional video, app and membership card. Fashion Capital Experience - Copenhagen, Milan, London, Paris

Target group

16-35 female & male

Screening and idea

We asked different people from different cultures, background and ages. A large number of them was not properly informed about the H&M conscious collection and didn’t feel like H&M was transparent enough.

SEE THE VOX POP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R_98SDztvk

Concept product dimensions

It is a Pop-up store where you can buy the conscious collection, return your used clothes and get a conscious membership card. In the store fashion design students are making new garments from collected clothes.

Validation of the idea

We found out by using the 6 thinking hats that we need a more innovative idea. Maybe an idea on how we can develop this concept to make it is a blue ocean strategy; also, the idea is realistic, but is it going to be something that will give a profit for H&M. We found out that a good idea is to make a membership card and app connected to H&M’s conscious label and the pop-up store to market the product.

Launch

The launch will be supported by promotional video, app and membership card.

Social media such as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter is used to promote our concept and reach the target group
