DAY 4: ARTY DESIGNERS
Activity 1: Fashion forward [4 points]
Coco Chanel was a French fashion designer from the early 1900s. She was very influential because she designed clothes for women that were beautiful, but also comfortable and practical. Before Coco came along, European women wore corsets which pulled in their waists, and dresses that had lots of lace. Coco Chanel introduced a completely new style, influenced by men’s fashion - trousers (pants), monochrome (black and white) fabric, and looser tops.
Twenty Seven Names is a contemporary (current) New Zealand fashion label that is also influential. The founders of the company are two friends, Rachel Easting and Anjali Burnett. Rachel and Anjali met when they were at primary school. When they left school, Anjali studied fashion design and Rachel studied art, before they set up their own business designing and making clothing. Where possible they employ young women and they keep as much of their production (making) in New Zealand as possible.

Guten Tag Courtney,
ReplyDeleteThank you for completing Week 4, Day 4, Activity 1. You have worked so hard over the Summer, you should be so proud of all your hard work and efforts!
Ka pai on sharing why you think that Twenty Seven names is a good name for a clothing brand. I think they’re name is super creative, and is one that no one could ever take from them because it is unique to them and their journey.
Maybe next time you could put a little bit more detail into why you like their name, you could talk about something that it reminds you of, maybe something you’ve seen before - just a thought :)
Have you been on their website and taken a look at some of their clothing? I think it is really nice! What do you think? Could you see yourself wearing some of their clothes someday?
Auf Wiedersehen,
Kueni
