Luxury brands are doing well, even better than in the past Consumer demand for high-end clothing is definitely still growing. Big brand like Michael Kors or Hermes have seen a major increase in their revenues. Dana Telsey explains the reason behind it: "There is definitely a thirst for higher-end brands because consumers know what quality is, and that's because retailers have taught them how to recognize it." Consumers are also influenced by the advertising and the look of the store they shop in (Betts). People nowadays spend more because they realize they worked hard and they deserve to indulge themselves. Another reason why people recently spend more is because the economy is doing better. According to Michael Silverstein, senior vice president of the Boston Consulting Group, "middle class in America has never had so much disposable income" (Betts).

How the clothes make the brand As we are talking about clothing and branding, do uniforms play any roles in this? The uniforms can embody the whole brand. For example, Singapore Airlines’s crew wears a nice, neat two-piece uniform that represents an authentic, luxurious and comfortable experience. The main point is: What drives consumer to make a choice is a strongly communicated brand (Doran). Having a brand that you know you can trust makes your choices and daily life easier. The uniforms are basically the “most immediate interfaces with a customer”. According to a book Selling the Invisible: A Field Guide to Modern Marketing, “Prospects feel more comfortable, and less fearful, with a brand name.” It is not just all about the products. It is also the brand service. According to a survey branded services make bigger revenues than non-branded services. The colors in the brand logos play a huge role. For example, Federal Express conveys a certain message with orange tand dark purple colors. A brand should always ask if they are using the colors effectively. Uniforms and apparel have a strong connection to the brand and are “communicated proofs” of the brand. This more applies to the service industry. Staff members who work for a certain brand represent it by a neat appearance and the way they communicate with customer. It is the mix of a physical, emotional and intellectual brand experience. It all connects in the customer’s mind. The biggest brands in the world understand that the clarity, neatness and consistency are necessity for brand building. Disney is an example of “fully-integrated marketing”. The brand includes everything from park, clothing, stores, toys and movies to programs, video games, music and fairy-tale characters. Mr. Michael Eisner believes this is “the multiplier effect” – the brand enhances Little Mermaid, which in turn enhances the brand. The Disney is known for uniforms, especially at Disney parks and cruise ships. The goal of this brand is simple- to make people happy. Here yet again the colors play a huge role. They are lively, energetic and vibrant. Even the security guards at Disney parks wear uniforms that represent certain “happy” colors. The color palette is about the boldest primary colors. Another signature style are oversized T-shirts which make adults look like kids.

The quality of the products and the price Lots of articles agree that low price means low quality of the products (garments. It is important to buy clothes that are going to last past one season. It is important to buy quality merchandise in general. TJX spokeswoman Laura McDowwell says that “the value is not just about the price”. The brand name is not the only thing that shows the quality, the seams and the way the fabric is used also tell a lot (O’Donnell, Kutz). The way to save money is to wear an outfit with luxurious pieces and cheaper pieces combined. The garments that you should invest in include coats, jeans and dresses. Price, however, is not always a guarantee of quality. Clothing from a low-cost brand like H&M is sometimes of better quality than J. Crew’s. Investing in classic items is a good idea. The better the garment fits, the more you are going to wear it and therefore make the most out of the investment. Beware of the materials that are itchy, don’t fit well or are too thick. According to Teri Wright of Fort Washington, Md., plaids and patterns must match up with seams and the garments must be properly lined. “The lining helps with the drape and wear of the clothing. Even when I buy a pair of pants from an established designer or retailer, I check to see if the blazer, skirt or pants are lined. It can be deciding factor on whether I buy it.” Department store sales and discounters can offer brand names for less.

Make-up:For the women I decided the make-up to be all natural. The color palette ranges from darker hues of purple through golden and green to light pink, vanilla and beige.Eyes: They are going to be highlighted by black eyeliner but some models won’t wear eyeliner at all. The eye shadow colors are going to be in beige, pink, purple or sparkly golden tone. Again, not all models are going to wear eye shadows. Lips: For the lips are decided on beige, warm peach, nude, baby pink and cherry light red colors. No aggressive red or any extreme colors like black or purple.For men I decided to just use translucent powder on their faces so that their face won’t be shiny in the stage light.

Lighting and runway options:The staging for UnionTex fashion show is going to be related to the theme ‘Into The Nude’. The stage is going to be simply white and the runway is going to be straight. For the background I am going to use white, pink and nude fiber optic drapes. The whole atmosphere should be romantic and dreamy. For the lighting I am going to strategically place high-powered white stage lights along the runway. The props are going to include trees and flowers. The press is going to sit closest to the runway. There are going to be two main entrances. The commentator is going to be on left side of the stage. The runway is going to be 60 feet long, 8 feet wide and 33 feet high. The stage is going to be 25 feet long, 10 feet wide and 33 feet high. The dressing area is going to be 84’ x 26’ and the ballroom will be 88’ x 80’.

Models:The models I chose are going to be from different parts of world with different skin color tones. I want the look of the models to be diverse and I believe each skin type will show off the make up in a different way. The pink and purple hues of eye shadows, for example, will look good on darker skin. The peachy warm colors of lipstick will look good.

Schedule of events:7:30 pm – Arrival of photographers and press8:00 pm – Welcome drink (choose from three), appetizers (hors d’oeuvres): shrimp cocktail, bruschetta, canape, buffalo wings, carpaccio 9 pm – Intro, special guest’s arrival, bottle service 10 pm – Fashion show begins 10:45 pm – Fashion show ends/ goodie bags give-away (pens, bracelets, gift cards...) 11:00 pm – After party on site/Interview with DJ Carl Cox/Autograph signings

UNIONTEX FASHION SHOW


organization

Patricia Korbackova

Introduction: Monte Carlo - High class fashionable and luxurious club located in the heart of downtown Chicago. Offering three bars and four dance floors (rooms) with different kinds of music makes this club a per-fect environment for Friday night out. I plan to attract higher class customers who can be picky and have a very specific taste. I want to make sure their needs will be fulfilled.Since house music and electronica are wide spread I think my customers are going to be attracted by this kind of music.

Communication objectives:To increase sales by 6% by next fiscal year.

Positioning and Desired Brand Personality:Monte Carlo is a high class prestigious night club.I want my customers to experience live music with perfect acoustics, try wide and exotic range of our mixed drinks and offer my customers different theme every night.My club offers huge space, capacity is limited. People don’t have to be worried about my club being overcrowded. I know that it always ruins the mood and makes a good experience a bad one.Even though the entry fee is higher I don’t want the drinks and water to be overpriced because then people don’t buy as much at the bar and drink at home before they go out so that lowers our profit.

Key Selling Proposition:Monte Carlo…Where music sets you free.

Offer Strategy:Price List/Club policy• Mixed drinks: average price per drink: $8.50• Average price per beer: $4.50• Admission: every day except Sunday: $24.50• Sunday admission: $15.95• Drinking policy: 21+ID• Fighting policy: Any kind of unacceptable behavior will be punished. In case of getting into the fight the person will be forced to leave and banned from the club.• Return policy: If the customer is not satisfied with his/her drink they receive another drink free of charge.
