This proposal was created in response to a brief as part of my MSc International Fashion Business Management Course; the brief called for integrated work within contemporary fashion practices surrounding sustainability and the circular economy. I was instructed to identify problems and opportunities within an area of an existing brand’s concept to consumer process and use this to develop a future fashion activity.
For the Brief I chose to focus on high fashion brand Gucci, a well established, multidimensional brand with an already deeply developed progression towards a circular economy. While researching into the brand and its market I found that a lot of the brands efforts towards circularity stopped once the consumer had made a purchase, and in some cases even before a product makes it to store. I saw this as an opportunity to develop further the brand to consumer relationship by allowing this relationship to continue past the point of purchase.
