How Has Clothing Changed Over 5 Years? I decided to put a twist on this activity and do a look at how clothing has changed over the past 5 years. Styles, prices, and modeling all have evolved over the past decades, and will keep changing with time. I decided to do online research about teen clothing styles in the U.S. and the industries that affect clothing. 4 How have popular teen styles changed in the U.S.? A big influence over teen clothing has come from popular brands such as American Eagle, Forever 21, H&M, Top Shop, and much more. Online shopping has changed the way we buy clothes; from this small businesses and stores have been able to reach new audiences. New trends such as neutral tone clothing, over-the-shoulder looks, patterned suits, and monochromatic outfits are able to spread from celebrities to teens. Many vintage inspired looks have been able to make a comeback as the 2020’s brings a new decade of fashion statements. How has the manufacturing of clothing changed over time? More than 95% of clothing bought in the U.S. is imported. It has become cheaper to buy goods in foreign countries than our own. Various processes of manufacturing have been mechanized, instead of done by hand. Why have popular clothing styles from past decades resurfaced? The 2000’s has proved to be an era mixing old and new fashion trends. Teens want to fit, or stand out, by wearing clothing they consider to be “cool.” Looking at past decades, teens have been able to put modern twists on vintage looks. I believe the attraction to the past, maybe one you never got to live in, shows a certain kind of appreciation. 5 How has the consumerist industry affected the way we buy clothes? The internet has made it even easier to buy and shop online. We can find cheaper clothing options and more places to shop online. Our mobile devices have to keep up with our fast living lifestyles. Our consumerist culture loves the ideas of sales and sauvignon money- which is everywhere online. We are encouraged to buy through rewards programs and spam emails. It’s a continuous cycle. How has the modeling industry developed over the past 5 years? Social media has created an influx of influence by models. Models are no longer just strutting on the runway, but in social media ads and tv commercials. Society’s idealistic view of beauty has been impacted by the types of models we see everyday. From magazines, to tv, to the internet, you can find models everywhere. Nowadays, it’s more about the money a model makes and what they sponsor in order to influence others. Do clothing prices reflect inflation or an increase in production? There’s something called the consumer price index, CPI for short, which refers to the rate at which prices for certain products have increased. Inflation has definitely played a role in the prices of clothing, but so does the increase in production. Inflation naturally has occurred over time as the standard of living has increased and minimum wages have increased. Clothing producers have been able to increase their outputs, but they ultimately have control when it comes to price. However, consumer’s demand for such goods would affect the quantity output. 6 Activity 1 Sources: Sources: Bain, Marc. “Consumer Culture Has Found Its Perfect Match in Our Mobile-First, Fast-Fashion Lifestyles.” Quartz, Quartz, 21 Mar. 2015, ​ ​ qz.com/359040/the-internet-and-cheap-clothes-have-made-us-sport-shoppers/.

Magazine Modeling For this activity, I edited this activity to examine different body and skin types portrayed in media and magazines. I decided to look at magazines, online, and in commercials to see where I could find diversity. I want to see what companies have evolved to show the real beauty of America versus the companies that portray an unhealthy image of vanity. What I found: I learned that many companies are updating with today’s views on beauty. Consumers run the clothing industry; we can see how people boycotting Victoria’s Secret has affected their brand. People want to support brands that are inclusive to all races, genders, and body types. They want to see themselves and people like them portrayed in modeling. Companies use models to not only portray their products but to make a statement about their beliefs. 8 Company Name: What do they sell? What visual Do they Do they have medium do portray an diverse they use? image of models? inclusivity? American Eagle Clothes, Swimwear, Commercials, Yes Yes Undergarments social media, website Dove USA Soap, shampoo, Commercials, Yes Yes bathing products social media, website Victoria’s Secret Undergarments, Commercials, No Sorta of clothing social media, website ModCloth Clothing, Social media, Yes Yes swimwear, website accessories 9 Activity Group 3 C. Comparing Costs For this activity, I decided to compare the cost over quality for five makeup brands. I decided to compare drugstore brands versus celebrity endorsed multimillion dollar brands. They may not all have the same exact products, but I decided to use lipsticks to compare quantity, quality, and price for a basic makeup product. I tried to compare similar products, so I found similar colors. From this activity, I learned that you should do research before you buy makeup. It can be overwhelming when comparing companies, and you should remember their main goal is to sell. You should take some things into consideration such as skin sensitivity, priority of natural ingredients, and company image. Personally, I believe you should not blindly buy products without comparing similar products. At the end of the day, lipstick is still lipstick- regardless of celebrity endorsement. Try products yourself before you promote them. 10 Brand: Product Name Size Price Main Formula Reviews of Quality Ingredients Kylie Cosmetics Almost Friday 3.5 grams, $17.00 Phenyl Trimethicone, Thirty nine 5 star Matte Lipstick 0.12 oz Polyethylene, Caprylyl reviews out of 54 Methicone, Pentaerythrityl reviews Tetraisostearate, Microcrystalline Wax, Flavor, Synthetic Beeswax Jeffree Star Androgyny 0.19 oz $18.00 Isododecane, Average of 4 ½ Cosmetics liquid lipstick Trimethylsiloxysilicate, stars from 250 Cyclopentasiloxane, reviews Dimethicone, Kaolin, Synthetic Beeswax, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene Vegan, Cruelty-free, Paraben-free, Gluten-free MAC Cosmetics Down to An Art 3 grams, $19.00 Octyldodecanol, Ricinus Average of 4 1/2 Matte Lipstick 0.10 oz Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, stars from 212 Silica, Tricaprylyl Citrate, reviews Ozokerite, Isononyl Isononanoate, Paraffin Maybelline Color 0.15 oz $7.49 Isononyl, Isononanoate, Average of 4 ½ Sensational ® (from Octyldodecanol, Oleyl stars from 121 The Mattes, website) Erucate, Silica, Cerba reviews Alba/Beeswax/Cire, Phenyl Matte Finish Trimethicone Lipstick Makeup Elf Cosmetics Mauvelous 0.10 oz, $6.00 Isododecane, Quaternium-18 Average of 4 stars Liquid Matte 3 ml (from Bentonite, Hydrogenated from 290 reviews Lipstick website) Polybutene, Triacontanyl PVP, Propylene Carbonate, Phenoxyethanol, Kaolin 11 Activity Group 4 C. Trying on Business Casual clothes For this activity, I organized my wardrobe to try on my outfits I would label as business casual. I wear these clothes for important occasions such as rehearsals, interviews, college related activities, and much more. As I’m now an adult, I’ve had to add a few more items to my wardrobe to update my casual clothes to a more formal wear. After interning at LaPorte Hospital, I’ve had to add clothes to follow a dress code. 12 Business Clothes List: 1. Green button up, long sleeve shirt 2. Dark blue button up, long sleeve shirt 3. Blue polka dot button up, long sleeve shirt 4. Black, long sleeve sweater 5. Pink turtleneck, long sleeve sweater 6. Plaid dress pants 7. High waisted, sailor black pants 8. Plaid skirt 13 From these, I can make a combination of 15 unique outfits assuming everything can match well. Keeping track of my professional attire and trying them on helps me to update my closet. This is ideal to find items that do not first me well anymore, are outdated, or need repairs. Keeping this inventory assures that I am ready for job interviews, business meetings, professional conferences, and any other opportunity that may arise.

  • Intellectual Property Rights Analysis of Christian Louboutin’S Bullet Shaped Lipsticks
    Intellectual Property Rights Analysis of Christian Louboutin’s Bullet Shaped Lipsticks Chloe Barker Katie Kruisselbrink Madison Kuczynski Texas A&M School of Law 2020 1 Abstract Overtime, the cosmetics industry has revolutionized not only the demand for cosmetics, but the product design, how the products enter the marketplace, and created a sort of hierarchy with general store-bought cosmetics at the bottom and luxury cosmetics at the top, often determined by the brand and the price of the products. Infamously known for its “Rouge” shade first entering the marketplace on the soles of shoes, Christian Louboutin has expanded from the fashion industry to the cosmetic industry, presenting cosmetic products for the lips, nails, and eyes, available in not only the “Rouge” shade, but many others. With reference to the revolutionized industry, there is a heavy influx of brands creating a strongly competitive market. With the use of patent protection, many brands are now turning their cosmetic creations into intellectual property to receive the protections that come with that status. Louboutin’s creation of the bullet-shaped lipstick is a prime example of turning a cosmetic item into a “work of art” which exudes the probative presence of design protection. While not every brand can profit from the creation and costs of introducing such an “edgy” product, Louboutin’s entrance into the cosmetic industry serves as a key example of the competitive advantage that follows luxury brands, especially in the highly competitive cosmetic industry. This level of competition often results in the issue of counterfeits, which in the cosmetic industry, often provide vast negative impacts.

  • The Changing Face of Beauty
    The changing face of beauty By Kristine Kirby Today there are many new definitions of beauty, categories of beauty and ways of promoting and buying beauty products, and manufacturers are dealing with the most knowledgeable customer ever. This has led to the giants of the cosmetic industry being shaken by a generation of clever start- ups. How do customers navigate the lucrative yet confusing world of promises and products in today's beauty market? We have spoken with key people in the sector: from social influencers to those creating or working for new brands to understand how they are responding to shifting consumer behaviour, as well as new segments and advances in technology. This paper examines the key trends in the industry: the ones we consider to be of most importance based on the beauty industry today. The changing market The global beauty market is divided into five main business segments: skincare, haircare, colour (make-up), fragrances and toiletries. These segments are complementary and through their diversity are able to satisfy all consumers’ needs and expectations. Beauty products can be also subdivided into premium and mass production segments, according to brand prestige, price and distribution channels used. For the purposes of this paper, unless otherwise noted, beauty is makeup and skincare. Distribution channels are changing. Cosmetic brands are available not only in retail outlets like department stores, but also via e-commerce, or social media such as Instagram and Facebook, television channels such as QVC, home shopping parties via representatives, airport vending machines or duty free and in spas. The cosmetics and personal care industry is predicted to record gains across the board, with particularly strong growth expected for sun protection and anti-aging products as consumers become increasingly aware of the dangers of sun exposure and more concerned with preserving a youthful appearance.

  • Member Exclusive by Chika Dunga All Glammed Up, and Going Places
    Member exclusive by Chika Dunga All glammed up, and going places The beauty industry is defying gravity. Before the pandemic, established retailers were thriving and new indie brands seemed to pop up constantly, generating revenue quickly thanks to direct-to-consumer marketing and digital communities. While other retailers struggle to keep up with trends like ecommerce and social media marketing, beauty brands are embracing them—and benefiting as a result. Covid-19 may have stalled its growth, but there’s no question the beauty industry is still rising; global consulting firm McKinsey calls the industry “surprisingly resilient.” Global beauty industry retail sales in billions of dollars $600 $500 $400 $300 $200 $100 $0 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Personal care products Skin care products Color cosmetics Fragrances 2 By the numbers A snapshot of the global beauty industry. $532 billion $85 billion 40% 2019 total revenue of the four The global market size of Skincare’s market share of largest beauty and cosmetics the beauty industry in 2019. the beauty industry. brands: L’Oréal, Estée Lauder, Unilever, Proctor and Gamble. 3 Peeking behind the private label Not all beauty brands are backed with an all-star team of scientists. Many use private labels, the practice of using a third- party manufacturer to make a product and then sell it under its own name. The practice is still new in the beauty industry, but brands like to use private labels because they’re efficient to develop, offer high margins, and give companies the ability to quickly adapt to market changes.

  • The Impact of Instagram on the Orthodoxies of Traditional Branding
    OGILVY—JANUARY 2019 Insta- branding The impact of Instagram on the orthodoxies of traditional branding By Antonis Kocheilas 1 Are the most popular brands different than before? Is that causing us to question the traditional rules of branding? 4 7 What we know … The goal: We sell, or else. Define your positioning: The most important decision is how to position your product. Know your consumer: The consumer is not a moron. It is your wife. Brand image: Every advertisement must contribute to the complex symbol which is the brand image. The product is hero: Torture the product until it confesses all its virtues. Tone of voice: Most manufacturers want to be all things to all people, and they end up with a brand which has no personality. Layout: An ugly layout suggests an ugly product. There are few products which do not benefit from being given a first-class ticket. 8 9 “Insta-branding” refers less to how these brands become popular and more to why they became popular — their nature is determined by social forces that govern how people make decisions. 10 11 A BETTER MOUSE- TRAP, OR SIMPLY BETTER BAIT? Today’s most talked-about brands are redefining the traditional rules of marketing and advertising. In a world previously dominated by giants like P&G and Unilever, smaller brands are now being born and raised online, and they are taking on the big guys. With tools like Instagram at hand, brands are now able to connect directly with their consumers, leveling the playing field for all. 12 13 BRANDS AND 80% 71% 75% + INSTAGRAM: BY of Instagram users
