Lean Cycle:

Users - My target users Millennials expectations related to user experience are very high. They live in a world of constant gratification provided by brands through mobiles and e-mails. My research customers are in need for continous contact with customer service when need informations for example about purchased items. They want to know what is happaning with products they had paid for and resolve occured issue asap. Research shows 64% of millennial customers now expect service in real-time through chats, texting, phones, social media and e-mail. Millennials need personalised customer experience to feel great about using the choosen brand. It can drive loyality to the brand and help with making purchasing decisons in the future. They are eager to share personal informations in exchange for some rewards provided by brands, curated subscription box services .Millenials are looking to follow companies which values are compatible to their. Businesses that will provide a good impact in society will win my target audience and will loose them in case of dissagreement about polices they provide (Deloitte Global Millenial Survey 2019).

Needs - In my project I am targeting millennial man. The issues I want to refer to is modern masculinity. Todays image of Man is changing. Comparing to the Baby Boomers image of masculinity to not show emotions, male millennials want to be more open about their feelings and be more aware of themselves. They are more likely to choose healthy food, yoga and journaling their feelings. Modern masculinity embraces vulnerability as an expression of courage (Jules Schroeder, Forbes).

Men Millenials want to educate themseleves and are looking for ideas of social, world improvements.

Uses- according to the goals of my target audience of world improvements my business objectives and strategic purpose is to inform consumers about the Ocean pollution and ways to donate for a cause by buying sustainable clothes from my choosen brand Alexander McQueen. Additional to that to support the needs to express feelings my colletion is made from 5 pieces promoting the poetry of my picked ambassador Cody Simpson. I am going to use personalized Mobile SMS text to inform them about the new collection as well as give them opportunity to track delivery with their purchase.

Features- My website will contain video as Alexander McQueen use it a lot in their campains and with promoting their products and it' sthe most engaiging way to bring customers attention and encourage them for actions. To grow a bond with the brand the website will have images of products, sustainable related informations, my influencer pictures and opportunity for customers to leave their own words of poetry on the website. Additional: Delivery options, tracking purchases, customer service informations, social media informations, busket button, wish list, real chat button. Colours of the website will remain black and white.

Political:
Fashion industry including Alexander McQueen needs to take into account government regulations when thinking about their future business forecasting. One of the main factors lately have been Brexit laws. Related uncertainties hits the confidence of company business choices.

No deal Brexit will cause Changes in VAT tax regulations. This will affect a time and costs of shipment samples. To gain the best visual and creative results designers cross borders to find the best pieces of fabrics as well as the graters cutter patterns to work with the fabric.

To cope with worldwide competition goods should be shipped immediately to fit into a time frames, instead Alexander McQueen processes can be affected by additional paperwork and delays.

Economic
Due to the growth of the business Alexander McQueen have to follow economic forecasts that can affects their income. Economic features are for example currency value, exchange rates, inflation, income of consumers and employment, national GDP.

Growth in global/ country economy it is a good sign for future business decisions. The global economy is predicted to grow stronger and higher through upcoming few years. The European Commission states that the fashion industry itself has constantly growing at around 10%.

Social
Social factors have to be observed by Alexander McQueen because of high influence of the social- cultural trends in the fashion industry. Changes in consumers taste and style lead brands choices like manufacturing. Nowadays people want to be more aware of where their products are from and what material has been used. Brands are expected to follow the ethical way in production to reply for consumer demands and growing awareness. For example Alexander McQueen to stay trustworthy might needs to become more transparent about their processing methods in the future. The brand lately has given for London fashion studens fabrics waste that had remained after production of their clothes what creates a good image of the brand. Latest factors to be aware from are issues related to coronavirus. The beginning of 2020 has being tough for a fashion environment. Lots of luxury brands have shuttered their stores in China, lots of fashion shows cancelled in China and Italy, sales made from goods are dropping and its been predicted that luxury brands will lose up to 10 billion euros

Technological:
Technological factors are important to follow innovations by attracting consumers and don’t stay behind competitors. For example introduction of Direct Digital Manufacturing methods like 3D printing in the fashion industry, digital platforms for customers, in store digital ways of communication like digital screens.

Internet improvement has allowed to easier communicate with consumers about latest newses, trends, changes related to the brand.

Legal
Each country has its own rules and regulations so Alexander McQueen has to adjust trade of products to each place.

Legal factors include:

-health and safety, advertising standards, consumer rights and laws, product labeling, working practices regulations and product safety.

Environmental

This includes environmental protection regulations with CSR policies in choosing of more sustainable garments, reduction of carbon emission footprint, reduction of energy and saving, renewable energy utilization.
