Label & ExplanationLabel Name: Marilyn
Label Description: Marilyn clothing is designed for young professional women looking to enter the working world. Words like “glamour”, “luxurious”, and “sophisticated” describe their sense of fashion. 1950s style couture clothing is back in demand…however, the materials (i.e. wool and felt) of the past are too heavy for today’s living. The Marilyn line provides a refreshed version of feminine, glamorous looks from the 50s.
www.fcclainc.org
Fashion Design
Historical InspirationThe fashion of the 1950s is based primarily on the New Look style set in the late 1940s by Dior. Many vintage styles of the 50's are full skirted, but some are the slim sheath dresses favored by other designers such as Jacques Fath, the sack dress of the late fifties designed by Hubert de Givenchy and the encrusted embroidered striking jeweled evening designs of Pierre Balmain.
Other famous European designer names of the 50's era include Christobal Balenciaga, Coco Chanel, Jacques Heim, Molyneux, Paquin, Robert Piguet, Jean Patou, Jean Desses, Jacques Griffe, Nina Ricci, Fabiani, Madame Gres (earlier models called Alix) and the House of Lanvin. They are the most sought after vintage European design names to seek from 50's clothing.
Prized 50's American designer names include Claire McCardell, Mainbocher (Main Rousseau Bocher), Galanos, Pauline Trigère and the Anglo-American Charles James.

ClienteleMarilyn women remember that they’re women. Marilyn’s potential customers are seeking clothing that is professional, affordable, and
feminine.These women are in the early stages of their career in the professional
world. They understand that appearing put together on the outside will help them succeed. Therefore, they care about their appearance, but
their salaries are not substantial enough to always shop in high-end department stores or buy everything brand name. They have a few
basic, versatile pieces of high quality and supplement their wardrobe with less expensive, seasonal pieces.
Marilyn women do not belong to a specific race or geographic region, they are determined primarily by their job.

Follow UpI showed my collection designs to women who would be considered
potential customers of the Marilyn label to get feedback. The reviews were generally positive, but the need for additional basic pieces for the line were needed to help these women put together a full wardrobe of modern, ‘50s inspired clothing they love.
After expanding the collection with pieces suggested by my sample of young, professional women, I submitted the Marilyn collection with my application to the Fashion Institute of Technology. I am proud to say that I was accepted and am a step closer to realizing my career goals.

Tips for Success• Follow the Rules! – The 2009-2010 STAR Events Manual is now
available at www.fcclainc.org. If you have questions, ask your adviser or state adviser to help clarify the rules.
• Be Purposeful – the amount you have researched and thought about your clientele will show in your designs and throughout the project. Don’t make this part of your project an afterthought of
your designs.• Take Time to Learn – this project could be a stepping stone to
getting into a post-secondary fashion design program and your career in the fashion industry. If you take time now to learn and develop
your knowledge and skills you will have high quality samples to show
college admissions and potential employers later.
