‘The Communication Package’

Fashion communication is the strategy in which a new or existing message or philosophy is delivered or visualised for a fashion, designer, brand or company. This variety of ideas and proposals ranging from; logos & moving image to journalism and event is often collated in a ‘Communication Package.’

A superb advocator of this is Sharpeye, whose blend of English eccentricity and cultured style continues to help form a blueprint for men's street fashion. When referring to his earlier work with Duffer, Barrie Sharpe says, “After us many companies followed suit - but at the time there was nothing similar”.

Taking primary inspiration from Barrie’s talk at LCA – How can you now maintain or even excel this established blueprint?
