https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y Brands these days are now taking on important roles within society by addressing issues that need to be spoken about. Diversity within models a long with ethics within the retail industry are two of the most common topics of conversation that brands are speaking about right now. Do you think that the current topic of narcissism/vanity within 2018 is an issue that needs to be addressed in a similar way? Could a high street brand like Topshop do this? en-us 2018-05-11 18:52:14 UTC 2018-05-17 00:24:51 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260074999 Yes definitely but it would need to be really clear so there consumers would understand because it is a complex topic ]]> 2018-05-11 20:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260074999 https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260075304 Yes - the world of mobile and apps such as Instagram and trends like “the selfie” has made us vain. Topshop  would be good because lots of young girls look up to this brand]]> 2018-05-11 20:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260075304 https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260075321 I think that it is definitely an issue in today's societ particularly within the younger generations and the rise of social media sites e.g. Instagram, and if you were to target them then topshop would be a great brand! ]]> 2018-05-11 20:06:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260075321 https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260080225 Definitely - a clothing retailer like TopShop enables the younger generation to express themselves through their clothing to reflect their personal ‘vanity and narcissism’ ]]> 2018-05-11 20:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260080225 https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260082680 2018-05-11 20:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260082680 https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260082748 2018-05-11 20:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260082748 https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260088339 Yes I think it is a really important topic that needs to be highlighted, particularly with younger generations and the reliance on social media etc. I think Topshop is a good brand to highlight the issue as they appeal to the target market.]]> 2018-05-11 21:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260088339 https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260121597 Yes, I think it is definitely an issue that needs addressing. An increasing number of young people have become so obsessed with themselves as a result of social media that they are unaware of the bad effect this is having on them and those around them.  In my view, it would take a brand like Topshop, that influences their lives in other ways and is not seen as a parental or authoritative voice, to get them to take notice of what is happening to them and help them see how they could change their thinking. ]]> 2018-05-12 08:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260121597 https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260125002 Yes I think it definitely is something that a brand like Topshop could address. The have the opportunity to engage with a generation who are becoming obsessed with how they portray their lives through a phone screen rather than enjoying the experiences they are having with friends. In the long term this could have detremental damage on their mental health and self esteem ]]> 2018-05-12 09:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260125002 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260196455 Definitely. I feel like as a brand, Topshop have never really been one to address social issues or act as role models. If anything I think they give off bad examples of how women should look through mannequin and model sizes. Them addressing this topic I think could really work in their favour.]]> 2018-05-13 07:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260196455 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260196659 It does need to be addressed, but it needs to be done in a smart way. They would need to give them example of how they could not be so self obsessed, rather than just pointing the finger at them and making them feel bad.]]> 2018-05-13 07:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260196659 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260196938 Brands have an enormous power in society these days, so the high street brand Topshop is definitely one that could make an impact with it being such a well known name]]> 2018-05-13 07:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260196938 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260197043 Topshop would be the perfect brand to do this. They've never really addressed a serious issue so this would be the perfect chance for them to do so. Topshop have a lot of connections with celebrities and influencers too, so getting those on bored would really help as the power of the influencers is huge right now]]> 2018-05-13 07:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260197043 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260197186 Yes. This self obsessed generation seem to have become so self obsessed with the influence of social media and smart phones. Topshop social media platforms well so in a way you could do it through this, use the tools that they know]]> 2018-05-13 07:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260197186 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260197279 100%!! I know I would definitely listen to a brand like Topshop if they were addressing this matter. In a way I'd be shocked as I feel like they come across as a brand that encourages vanity, so them changing their perspective on this I think could really work in their favour.]]> 2018-05-13 07:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260197279 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260197599 Yes. Missguided have just brought out a new campaign using a diversity of different models. I really respect them for it and I know people would respect Topshop more for this]]> 2018-05-13 07:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260197599 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260198212 Yes. It would be great for a brand to encourage young people in how they can think outside of themselves, so they can be a good example for generations to come.]]> 2018-05-13 07:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260198212 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260198880 It would need to be done smartly in order to be effective, but yes I think it is a really good idea]]> 2018-05-13 08:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260198880 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260198883 Addressing this topic through a brand is definitely the way forward.

I worry for generations to follow, how it may effect them. As a generation now we're so bothered about what people think of us and how we appear to the rest of the world. If it's like this now then what will it be like in 10 years time?]]> 2018-05-13 08:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260199383 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260199787 I think that this issue being addressed by a brand could work really well. Brand's, in a way, encourage vanity and narcissism so for them to be the ones that address it first could create huge impact.]]> 2018-05-13 08:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/260199787 lambertkiera https://padlet.com/lambertkiera/rgsi1p8btg2y/wish/261410346 Absolutely!
