UofT Bookstore and ufashion Student Designed Products (UFSD) Outline

UofT Bookstore and ufashion Student Designed Products Outline

UofT Bookstore Student Design Products --drafted by Taige, Flore, Siobhan Purpose: To involve students in creating and producing UofT merchandise sold at the bookstore. Student Designed Department (Premise1): Create a special section in the bookstore dedicated to student designed work. A division of ufashion (UFSD) will manage this section. Initially, we will create a campaign to inform students about this opportunity to affect the Bookstore for the better. We will work with students on their submissions to develop and produce merchandise for the special section in the bookstore. We would like the bookstore to help chose submissions and give guidance during the process. A percent the profit made from the student designed products will be given to support, sustain, and grow ufashion and our mission to let students to work with Bookstore. A Voice (Premise2): UFSD will work with UofT Bookstore to decide what new products will be sold at the bookstore. UFSD will be the voice of students by running focus groups for new products, screening UofT Bookstore's catalog of potential products on campus to test each item's appeal, and surveying students for their general attitudes while considering their comments and suggestions for a better bookstore. In addition, UFSD will be able propose product ideas in UofT Bookstore's catalog of potential products, and on behalf of students factor in on the operations of the Bookstore. Details: Students may vote on products. U of T bookstore can show students the products they are looking at, and have students vote or even take a poll of what students like/would buy. This will work to both the students and Bookstore's favor. Fashion a Team (Premise3): UFSD will fashion a team of dedicated students with a strong interest in fashion. The "Fashion A-Team" (F-AT) will go from market research to production with the continuous feedback from the bookstore. The final presentation to the bookstore and students may be a simple meeting or a flashy fashion show. F-AT will take up such activities holding focus groups to discover what students want, use reference groups to in what is in, and transform them into goods to be sold at the U of T Bookstore. A percentage of profit from sales of those items should be directed to the UFSD program and the creators of the products. Details: Different students from different majors and backgrounds comprise the team each year to provide variety and learning experience to different students. As a effective and committed team hand selected and overseen by UFSD, these students go all the way from planning to selling/promotion. Pitching session and meetings between the and bookstore will be held throughout the year to ensure a cooperative and mentoring environment. For example, these meeting may be used to present ideas and designs for products that FA-T believe will be profitable to the bookstore and satisfaction to students, and budgeting to ensure that the designs are financially and economically viable.

Hello all,
As some of you who have been attending meetings may know, I am currently working on a project entitled UFET - uFashion Expert Talk project, which basically consists of a seminar which will feature a small number of industry specialists ready to discuss a pre-determined topic.

Fashion Shows Deconstructed

by Susan Stamberg

Susan Stamberg, NPR

High fashion sweeps across the runway at a Paris fashion show in 2005.

Morning Edition, February 7, 2006 · While it may still be winter in most neighborhoods, clothing for spring and summer has already started arriving at the stores. The ideas for some of these clothes were first seen last fall -- at the ready-to-wear fashion shows.

Susan Stamberg attended two Paris runway shows with historian Joan DeJean and essayist David Sedaris.

Valentino's spring-summer ready-to-wear collection was familiar to DeJean, due not to the clothes, but to the promotional style. Showing clothes to buyers and fashion writers is an idea that goes back to Versailles and the court of Louis XIV.

It almosts makes you think twice. Like when uf member Brian (in the club) asked me how much his shirt cost I thought it was like $20. Then he got all mad and started pointed to the Diesel logo and how the zippered pocket wasn't fake. $100 bucks after Fifty percent off? Ain't chicken that dumb.

po sit shin

hi ufers,

i believe our group needs a events coordinator. the blog is great since everyone can contribute
like:

chinese fashion show on saturday (see stan's post)
9:10 - 10:15 pm Chinese Inspired Fashion Collective Showcase - Alice Ko Original Designs
Featuring:Cheyanne Kan, Janet Yiu, Gigi Chung, Keiko Sun Seline Li and Shirley Chan

but it is my religion that we need someone to coordinate and these outings we'll go to and our own group events. so position created. (this person should be reliable and organized. like the dude holding the flashlight in the picture.)

hairstyle of the semester club

from uf website

hairstyle of the semester club

Ufers thrive on change and creativity. One of the best ways to do that is to get a hair cut. Radically change your hairstyle. Change the way people see you and judge you. Distrub their notion of who you are. Change how you see yourself.

When you join hairstyle of the semester club. You agree every semester you will let other ufers decide your next hair style. It doesn't matter. In fashion or out. Black or green. It doesn't matter. Just Δ it.

We'll go together. Or you can go by yourself if you're into that.
Based on Alex Bogusky, and Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind by Al Ries and Jack Trout.
