In the fashion and luxury market, the companies are not only selling their products or goods to the consumers; rather the consumers are attracted to and actually selling or buying the intangible idea and brand image of the company that is associated with said products. Digital and technological developments have affected today’s fashion industry from a media, consumer and retail perspective.

Using mobile devices, as a shopping ‘buddy’ is no longer ‘new’ technology, it is a current technology receiving much interest from consumers. According to the statistics shown from Reatilmenot, the mobile-based deals had a 57% increased profit compared to the previous year. Recently, Amazon has announced its new delivery system, which is going to be drone technology. It is indeed an unprecedented and revolutionary attempt to drastically reduce the delivery time.

hello team G

This book is about fashion culture from the inception of fashion into a culture. It tells about how what other cultures consider fashionable to advertising practices. Its telling in the way of explaining the meaning of fashion and how it defines a society/culture.--Liannahosein (talk) 20:37, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

This is the most comprehensive of his works - combining ideas on the anthropology of the body which he first explored in his graduate thesis and expanding and updating ideas about fashion and style which first appeared in Fashion & Anti-fashion. As if that weren’t enough, he also threw in modesty, eroticism and gender issues. Indeed, re-reading Bodystyles after 12 years, the author felt it should have been five books instead of one. “There is simply too much crammed in” he stated. The other problem is that the writing style and many of the ideas are too complex for a popularly-oriented picture book. Despite this, however, this remains his only published work in which themes which he finds personally exciting (in particular, the interplay of the physical and social levels of meaning, the social constructedness of the body) are explored in any depth. Given that most academic anthropologists have shown little interest in his work and given, on the other hand, that far too few professionals within the fashion world seem interested in the looking at this industry from an intellectual perspective, there has not, since Bodystyles, been a suitable occasion for him to further develop these ideas.

This sandbox has some grammatical issues and lacks content. In addition, the sources should work together to write about the topic. The group posted at least 5 sources and referenced two so far. I recommend writing about the other sources to deepen the analysis of the topic and to fix grammatical errors. There is also some bias in the first sentence of the second analysis of one reference. The sandbox has important information that just needs to be expanded upon, some grammatical errors, and bias in the content. The group gets a 3/5.Deirdre.romer (talk) 16:46, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Group G's sandbox is lacking some content. The paragraph does not clearly address what their topic is about. Also, it seems be a little bias, since the written information is based on a book. This group should continue to add more sources and expand upon their topic. There is a reference cited, but more should be incorporated. Group members should all work together to create a few more cohesive paragraphs with citations. There seems to be minor grammatical and spelling mistakes. Instead of "constructedness", it should be "construction." Overall, the group's grade is 2/5. Dollywei (talk) 04:26, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

There is no clear point where the subject of the sandbox was said and laid out. Organization wise the explanations of the the two sources were not attached to each other so it was unclear on which source was being referenced. Try putting footnotes at the end of the paragraphs that reference the source to which it was describing, like what was done in the second paragraph. 3/5.KMacClellan (talk) 04:16, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
