Mid market design issues

What are the challenges in designing for a bigger market?

- How to maintain the price point and quality? - getting the right balance - is it made of shore? of organic fabrics?

- Cost - what are people prepared to pay?

- Care and laundering - a high energy user

- Durability

- Function - a very important point - where is the garment worn? does it meet the needs of the consumer? can you get in and out of it easily?

- Relationship between market and their use. Thinking about practicality, cost, care, getting the right balance

- Where is the best place to invest time and money - what part of the process?

- Materials - Finishings - Treatments - Embellishments - Prints

- Perception of quality - make sure the finishings and design meet the price point.

- What people expect and what is realistic - ethics - patriotism

These are all questions I have to ask myself and work our the direction brazen transitions is going in. I need to work out what my priorities are and how to achieve them effectively and sustainably.
