Fashion Trends There are many different brands of clothing that are popular within the Canadian retail market such as Lacoste, TNA and Lululemon. Our research is focused on the reasoning for people buying particular brands, specifically the students in the Mother Teresa Catholic High School community. 120 surveys were distributed to grades 9-12 – both males and females, and the data was inputted into the Tinker plot software for analysis.
Hypothesis: The high school students of Mother Teresa Catholic High School purchased American Apparel the most during the 2009 year. Goal: To find what clothing trend appeals most to students between grades 9-12.
Data Source The data was collected from the students of Mother Teresa Catholic High School, through a primary method of data collecting – surveys. While visiting various classrooms, we asked if five males and five females (per class) would be able to take two minutes to fill out a survey. Approximately, three classes for each grade level were used in order achieve a wider variety of results. Secondary sources were not applicable for the research, since the data is based solely on the fashion trends of Mother Teresa high school students.
Data Source - Breakdown • 120 surveys in total • 4 grades • 30 per grade • 15 female • 15 males
Favourite Brands Covered • Lacoste • TNA • Ed Hardy/ Dom Rebel • Lululemon • Abercrombie & Fitch/ Hollister • American Apparel
Lacoste Lacoste was founded by Rene Lacoste and Andre Gillier in 1933. The shirt revolutionized the men's sportswear and replaced the woven, long-sleeved and starched classic shirts. It continues to offer the same quality, comfort and solidity on which it built its name and which constitute its uniqueness.
TNA TNA was born and raised in Vancouver in 1998. They thrive on the details that make it unique. Their passion for clothing is paralleled only by the commitment to the riders, artists and innovators who inspire them to create the styles they live, work and play in.
Ed Hardy Ed Hardy clothing was inspired by a man who was also a legendary tattoo artist, Don Ed Hardy. Hardy applies his art and tattoo work into his clothing line. People around the world love his mix of Japanese and American styles.
Dom Rebel Dom Rebel was founded in 2003, to bring a new element of excitement to men's contemporary fashion with a strong meaning behind it. The name 'Dom Rebel' comes from the Latin Dominus Rebellis (Master of Rebellions) which stands for "Freedom of Mind-Liberty of Thought".
American Apparel It is best-known for making basic cotton knitwear such as t-shirts and underwear, but in recent years it has expanded - to include leggings, leotards, tank tops, vintage clothing, dresses, pants, denim, bedding and accessories for men, women, children, babies and dogs.
Abercrombie & Fitch The brand was established in 1892 and became known as a supplier of rugged, outdoor gear. It was acquired by The Limited Inc. in 1988 and in 1992 was repositioned as a more fashion-oriented casual apparel business.
Hollister Abercrombie and Fitch Co. gave way to its offspring of yet another brand of clothes, Hollister. This clothing comapny centers on one central theme for both dudes and bettys, the surfing lifestyle in South California.
Lululemon Lululemon's mission is to create components for people to live a longer, healthier and more fun life.
Conclusion There is a wide variety of brands within the fashion market of the Mother Teresa Catholic High School student body and this range of style reflects the uniqueness of each student and also their own personal character. Through our research, it is clear to see the previous stated hypothesis was that American Apparel was purchased the most during the 2009 year was wrong. Our research found that majority of the students buy other brands that were not included in the survey. Additionally, both genders are willing to spend between $100 to $150 clothing on average. Finally, the reason why students buy a particular brand is that the clothing causes the student to feel more confidence and look better physically.
