/ / C ON C EP T After discovering Capsule wardrobes and becoming interested in sustainable fashion, I wanted to attempt to create my own capsule wardrobe, but with little information on how to even begin such a big lifestyle change, Capsule became the idea of promoting sustainable fashion through owning less and purchasing less. Capsule was created to be simple with a clean minimal aesthetic. Somewhere people could go to feel more educated on capsule wardrobes, but also meet people who do the same.

// MARKET RESEARCH
emily pye
Eco fashion is on the rise, with WGSN predicting an increase in minimalistic fashion due to the rise in consumers buying less but more mindfully, with minimalist sillohettes and origami like features. This is perfect for brands expanding into eco-fashion, knowing that the trend of buying more mindfully is upcoming in 2018. Eco fashion is still quite a small market compared to the fast fashion market, so competitive research is important to ensure the success of Capsule, which we will look into further into the portfolio.
“Seventy-eight percent of millennials—compared to 59% of baby boomers—“would rather pay for an experience than materia l g o o d s .“ T h e y f a v o r p r o d ucts marketed as ethical, sustainable and environm e n t a l l y f r i e n d l y.” – Harris Poll Survey

“The movement started in the 1960s and 70s, and then later with environmental issues in the 80s and 90s. But in the 2000s we are seeing young designers who believe in sustainable fashion and that it can still b e b e a u t i f u l a n d g l a m o r o u s .

A SWOT is for all the internal ‘micro environment’ capsule may have and the PESTLE analysis is for the macro environment.

A COLLABORATION I WORKED ON WITH JORD WOOD WATCHES, WHERE THEY SENT THE PRODUCT AND GIFT CARDS TO GIVE AWAY OVER ON MY BLOG - WITH THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MY READERS TO WIN THEIR VERY OWN WATCH! IMAGES WERE ALL STYLED BY MYSELF, BUT I CHOSE TO COLLABORATE WITH ONE OF MY CLOSE PHOTOGRAPHER FRIENDS AS I WANTED THE WATCH ACTUALLY ON MY WRIST AND DIDN’T WANT THE SHOT LOOKING AWKWARD OR OFF CENTRE. THIS WAS A LOVELY CAMPAIGN TO WORK ON, ESPECIALLY AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME, WITH THE COLOUR THEME AND NATURAL FEEL. THE POST IS STILL LIVE TO VIEW ON THE BLOG.

FOCUSING ON THESE HAND WOVEN BASKETS FROM UGANDA, THE BRIEF WAS TO STYLE THE HANDMADE BASKET OR BOWL, AND GIVE YOUR AUDIENCE IDEAS ON HOW TO STYLE THE ITEM.
