Final Project: Fashion House Look Book

Your Assignment

Imagine you are an emerging clothing designer trying to pitch your collection to a fashion buyer. Y
ou are to create a "look book" for your own clothing line that you will design. Your line must consist of 3 designs. **this could be a shoe line or an accessory line like handbags! 

All the designs must have a central theme that is carried throughout the designs! Maybe its a pattern, color or silhouette but it must be obvious in your designs. 

​You will also write a
5-7 sentence paragraph "Mission Statement" for your clothing line. Read the following article to the right, to get a better idea of how to write your mission statement. 
Your final project must be like this:
​

1. Make a copy of the google slide presentation attached to the assignment on google classroom. Edit that presentation with your designs, mission statement etc.

2. Draw your designs, take a photo of the drawing and either email that photo to yourself, or upload that photo on the google drive app so that it is in your google drive. Then you can insert the photos onto the correct slide in the presentation. 

3. You must submit the google slide presentation under the assignment on google classroom.

"How to write a Mission Statement for Your Clothing Company"
By Liz at Pop Culture Tees

Telling your story, how to write a great mission statement. Have you ever read a mission statement that starts something like this?:
“Brand X is a brand that represents urban culture and is for creative edgy people everywhere. Every product of Brand X incorporates our unique vision, style, and attitude. We’re not just a t-shirt shop, we’re a culture…”
Horrible, right? Because there’s a half dozen problems with this:
  1. Of course your products are unique… but what actually makes them different from anyone else’s?
  2. T-Shirts are not culture, and they’re not a representation of the entirety of urban culture or anything else. They’re clothing. And unless you’re really lucky, they reflect pop culture, not create it.
  3. Lots of words without saying much. Buzz words are cheap, and you can string them together to make something that sounds great. Problem is, they usually don’t mean anything.
  4. Trying to define and classify your customers is a great way to drive would be buyers away. If I don’t feel like I’m edgy and creative person, I’m not going to feel like your tees are for me.
This isn’t a real mission statement, but it is inspired by (and in some spots roughly borrowed from) dozens I’ve read from submissions to the site, and around the web. Your mission statement says who you are, and what you’re about, so why short change yourself by writing a bad one that doesn’t really say much at all?
If you want to write a great mission statement, follow these 3 simple rules:
  1. Tell people where you came from: how your brand started, what was the inspiration, why are you doing what you are.
  2. Tell people what’s really unique about your brand: Maybe all your tees and ink are organic or maybe your designs are all inspired by your favorite Star War characters, or maybe you donate 10% of each sale to the WWF. Whatever it is, make it plain and easy to understand.
  3. Tell people what your designs are about: This is hard if you don’t have a theme that connects your clothing line (hint: your brand will be stronger if you have a central theme), but you should be able to talk about what connects all your designs and what they’re about.
