TWILIGHT WOODSTREND FORECASTKIM GRANADOSFALL 2016

Rachel Zoe once stated, “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” My costumer represents that quote with her shy yet stylist personality. By having her clothes

speak for her she makes people feel something when they look at her. It is almost as if she is art and one tends to wonder the mystery behind her.

My costumer would be within the age range of 18 to 25 years old. My brand would not represent a specific type of ethnicity, as it would be very diverse. She is either a high school or college student. She does not have a family of her own yet, because she is

focusing on creating a future for herself. She may have a part time job but nothing serious yet. Since her style speaks for her, you are left to wonder about her personality. Only the very few people she lets in her life know who she really is. As an introvert she enjoys her

own company more than being around large groups of people. Her hobbies include photography, drawing, shopping, exercising, reading, and traveling. You can find her in a

cafe, art gallery, park or occasionally in the gym. The city is the perfect place for her to be in since fashion, art and architecture all coexist there. She loves living in the city but

misses seeing more of nature.

Consumer Profile

lost and found at the same time happen a lot during twilight in the woods. Being at peace with yourself is the main reason why it feels like home. This

home is not meant to be conformed; only free spirits are allowed in. It is safe to break free from who you have been hiding in all day long. It is a graceful thing finding beauty in the depths and darkness of the woods.

There are secrets that lie there waiting for the brave free spirited souls that come alive during this time. One must never forget to be one with the

woods during their stay.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
