- Purchases for a cause: Lately I have been seeing a huge trend with a lot of companies selling a certain article of clothing or particular piece of jewelry for an organization and donating a portion or all of the proceeds to the said cause. The biggest philanthropy I have seen among these sales is breast cancer awareness. I would write about the different companies and celebrities that participate in this and see what the most popular philanthropy actually is. I want to ask around and get plenty of opinions from various people to see if they think more causes should be involved. Is there something more important we could be focusing on besides whatever the most popular philanthropy actually is? Would people participate in these purchases? Is it more of a motivation to go shopping? Will this trend in the fashion industry continue to grow?
- Go Green: Fashion has taken "going green" to a whole new level within the past year. There are more eco-friendly clothes being made. Organic hair product brands are becoming larger and they just keep on growing. Other things that are becoming green: make up, perfume, bed sheets, curtains, dish liquid, light bulbs etc. Everything is becoming organic and all natural. Are students actually buying these eco-friendly products? Do people actually wear these clothes? Is this a great idea?

Feature story ideas
Our next in class assignment is a feature story and my article will obviously have something to do with fashion. But I really want to try to do something different from the traditional fashion article, like topic with a fashion twist. I'm going to name some of my ideas. Let me know what you think - opinions are greatly appreciated! Here it goes...

I like the whole fashion going green idea. You could also ask a bunch of people what they think of the idea and get some generalized information about what people really think about it and whether or not they'd wear eco-friendly clothes.
ReplyDeleteWhich one did you decide on? both sound good.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to do the purchase for a cause topic. I haven't really seen articles done on this topic before and I like the whole idea of it. I was thinking of linking this to the recession and how it could be a motivation for people to spend money and how this may be helping the sales of companies participating in a philanthropy while others may be suffering.
