Fashion Research

This is a mid-map which I have made to demonstrates the main issues affecting a models life. It shows the main themes that the average successes model wants or is dealing with.
Myself and my group have looked at some popular modelling TV shows, all of these have the same kind of storylines, the themes which were the most popular. I put fashion as the main theme because it is the most popular for a model because there life will rotate around clothes and make-up.
Most of the fashion TV programmes are targeted towards females between 14-30. They are situated in cities. And working on the career either going up the modelling leader or starting their own chain. It is interesting to see that most of the world’s cities are also often known as “fashion capitals”
I have found out by looking on job websites and forms that modelling is known as a dream career. This is not surprising because a recent survey has found that over 85% of young girls have considered fashion modelling as a job for the future. However very few make it and indeed large number of females each year fall out of the industry have to make huge career moves.   
By doing this research it reinstates our original concept of a modelling film then doing a trailer. By analysing similar programs or films we feel know happy to take the genre and expand it. We are open to incorporate more or less common themes which would create an interesting and appealing storyline Working with this theme will also allow our group to combine our research for the practical side to our media studies with the theoretical side, in which we are studying representations of women.
