Who is your customer target?
I would say customer target would be Teen's, but sort of on an international scale...
What is your basis of inspiration for the collection?
My collection is Sweet Lolita (amaloli) and is it is influenced by Rococo styles as well as shojo manga (girls' manga) and really sweet fun-loving stuff.
Will you include any of the current trends research onto your designs, if so explain?
Umm..Not really, becausse there aren't alot of Lolita or Japanese realted things in current trends right now...Everything seems very urban. And Sweet Lolita fashion places its focus on the child-like aspects of Lolita design. Outfits consist of pastels, gingham or other colorful prints, lace, bows, and ribbons to emphasize the cuteness in the design. One really popular theme for Sweet Loli's is "Alice in Wonderland" and her cakes...

If you want to know more about Lolita Fashion and Lifestyle, You can vist the Lolita Handbook on LiveJournal.com and Also my all-time favorite Lolita Online shop, sweetrococo.com, I shop there once in a while, their really cool! :]

My customer target is teenage girls. My shorts were inspired by Victorian times because it has lace sticking out at the bottom of the shorts.it will also have buttons with gold details on them. i won't include any of my current trends report because i didn't find something that inspired my collection.

My customer targets are teens and young adults. I was inspired by the smileys people send me and that i send others in i.m's, so i used one of them for my pockets. Most likely will not be adding any current trends research to my designs.

My basis of inspiration for my collection.Intervation for my collection would be different kinds of fruity colors unique patterns. This project should include some of the patterns,design from my current trends research report from Betsey Johnson as well as other designers with unique design.

My customer target is teenagers who look wild crazy, exiting colors. I would think that any girl of every ethnicity could be able to model my clothing.
My basic inspiration for the collection would be the different patterns of the jungle. Also it would be the different things attitudes of the city. i think NYC has alot of different personalities and action, i want my customers to feel a different things i see.
No, i wouldnt, because i want to do me not copy others.

My customers would be teens but more for young adults.I was inspired by sailors. I'm not sure if i will include anything from the current trends research i did, i wanted to make it a bit "retro" like 50s inspired etc, kind of like michael kors.

My customer target is teens. I was inspired by many things like the way japanese use their style into anything that would look hot! and I like it because it was different and very interesting because what their wear is like sort of gothic and trendy with all these cartoons mostly hello kitty. I would but I don't because what I'm doing is different than what they did and they didn't have the things that I'm including into my shorts. The theme that I'm doing is japanese street wear, which includes like all these different color with accessories, and little cartoons that they love. I like that I choose this theme because it give me a challenge to try harder.

My customer target is teens & adults. My basis of inspiration for my collection is the 1950s to 60s. The look that consists of old fashion clothing such as plaid shorts bubble shorts extravagent collars with vibrant colors. Yes, because the shorts I'm constructing are bubble and have embroidery on the back .

My customer target would be centered aroung young adults.My inspiration for this collection is a mixture between Victorian and Japanese punk rock-ish style.I am not yet sure if i would be including any of the current trends on my designs,but i doubt i will because like what Lauri-Ann said "there aren't alot of Lolita or Japanese realted things in current trends right now...Everything seems very urban. And Sweet Lolita fashion places its focus on the child-like aspects of Lolita design." and me and her mostly have the same taste and ideas when it comes to theese things.

when i make my clothes i want them to be afordable. i want it to be in various price ranges in the way that everyone can wear my clothes.
for my collection my inspiration would be circa 1980's-1990's[bows, diamonds,hearts,thunderbolts,animal, and other prints etc]i got inspired by movies like ''pretty in pink'', ''the breakfast club'',''16 candles'', and shows like saved by the bell, married with children, and the fresh prince of bel air.
the current trend im using is high waist, and patterns which i am very much obsessed with.
