Paper 1 Discourse community research and analysis purseblog.com I have changed my discourse community to http://www.purseblog.com/ . I am fond of this discourse community more than http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/.
Purseblog.com has made a great influence on me and it interests me very much. This website gives me everything! It has great information about the hottest purses, style, fashion, and celebrity news. They have so much knowledge about my favorite designers such as Hermes and Chanel. Oh my-gosh, I’m so obsessed and I have fallen head over heels in love with this blog. I believe members of this community what they are doing is keeping up with the latest fashion trends in Paris and all over the world. The blog does

Also, I believe it guides the members on how much to spend and knowledge on costs.
A specialized language which is used on the blog are French terms. Designer names are used and fashion related terms are used. Here is a little example: trendy, spring collection, winter collection, rouge, tote, Alexander McQueen, Fendi , etc. The communication function specialized language serves as a proper way to write and pronounce a sophisticated palette of words in a high society in addressing high end fashion and their designers.
The authority is a number of people who organize and run this website. Regarding some stuff I have seen posted, was done by Amanda Mull. I feel this website is controlled or highly influenced by private companies who have numerous workers who 's opinion is taken in consideration when purchasing, selling, and discussing what fashion is in. The old comers are the people who initially started the website. The new comers are employees that are hired to express and sell fashion. Any new members that subscribe are new comers. I have a feeling high end boutiques are getting customers that are members of this website. If a client is paying thousands of dollars for a Chanel or Hermes bag, I’m sure they probably pay this blog a fee for advertisement.
The fashion expert’s talk and the members listen and watch for their postings. If a member has great fashion advice to offer, it
Can you tell the common ground of the three mentioned? They are websites that provide a lot of styling tips and give ideas how to coordinate clothing items you have. Without doubt, they are one of the top destinations for so-called younger professional generation. People have tendency to look nice, express themselves at the same time. The fashion as a whole is universal, and it influences and is influenced by all ages, genders, races, culture, politics, even science. Everyone has to wear clothes after all.
What is a discourse community? According to John Swales authors of the article of discourse community, a discourse community is a group of people working together to towards a common goal. Examples of people working together to share a common goal are religious groups, students studying a certain major, fans, student, and teachers.
When a brand is created, many will ask the questions that haunt all of us trying to start a company. Will it work? Should we stay online or launch a brick-and-mortar store? Will I make profit or fail? These questions arise even more when the company is to start only online. Because of this, e-commerce fashion brands must constantly evolve and expand their styles to maintain the interest of their target customers. Fashion Nova is one fashion brand that manages to stay relevant among its consumers because of their edgy style and quality priced clothing. Fashion Nova was first established in 2010. It gained its popularity from celebrities promoting it on their social media platforms and the fact
A discourse community comprises of a group of people sharing a common and distinct mode of communication or discourse, especially within a particular domain of intellectual or social activity (Oxforddictionaries, 2017). Some of the discourse communities I consider to be a part of, include an Indian joint family, my peer group, high school education in India, the Apple community and education at Pace university.
One of the most useful resources for ideas were the Fashion weeks, showing collections of famous and up and coming designers in New York, London, Paris and Milan. The most coveted pieces, cuts, fabrics and colours were noted and further observed on reputable websites / such as Vogue.com, Style.com and Wsgn.com. /and in magazines / Vogue, InStyle, Glamour, Bazaar etc. /. The blogs of well-known fashion bloggers were also visited where
An example of a discourse community I choose to talk about in this paper is the JPS Nail Salon located near Elvis Presley Boulevard. I recently became a part of this particular discourse community group by volunteering to help out on the weekends. I thought it would be interesting to dig a little deeper as to how discourse community works out as a whole.
I would recommend in focusing its efforts ‘Fashionistas’. They are the most likely to stay loyal to the network as well as provide new
The world of fashion is always changing and new trends are always emerging. The ways by which trends and fashion news are communicated to the public has evolved as technology advances. Before television and the internet, it was difficult for designers, photographers, and fashion brands alike to spread word about the latest in fashion to a large mass of people. With the help of modern technology, fashion has made its mark in the world by appearing on television networks, online blogs, social media, and digital magazines.
From its inception in 1996 until recently, The Fashion Channel (TFC) enjoyed great success by appealing to as a broad an audience as possible. Overall viewer numbers were the main focus, and so long as TFC had no significant competition in terms of the fashion-specific content it offered, this “something for everyone” approach was a winner.
Since social media is so easily accessible to everyone nowadays people don't care to go and grab the latest vogue for inspiration, they will go on their phones and check their instagram, twitter, Facebook or any social media account to see whats trending. In L2's Advanced IQ List, which positions form brands as per their site offerings, online business, computerized advertising and web-based social networking mindfulness, US ladies' dress planner Tory Burch beats understood worldwide extravagance brands, for example, Gucci, Hermes and Chanel. This shows the huge impact the influence of social media can have on the Fashion industry, the world is moving and progressing through social media and those who chose not to utilize this part of technology so widely used, are going to fall behind those who do. People who are very high up in social media have a very big platform to promote and influence others. Nowadays if you have a huge amount of followers you are practically famous with all eyes watching you. Fashion corporations want people who have this huge platform on social media to promote their styles due to the fact people are going to be strongly persuaded to want or to want to look like something if someone they keep up with on social media looks a certain way or wears a certain piece. Fashion trends from all over the world come to meet each other, merge, change and evolve through social media. The concept of the see
Hermès does not chase after market share or profitability, yet it still manages to maintain its edge and appeal, standing at the pinnacle of luxury brands. In this digital age where information is widely accessible, many brands engage in social media as a part of their marketing strategies. For a contrarian company like Hermès, it does not. Their prehistoric internet presence and intentionally displeasurable online shopping presence simply serves to further shroud the brand in secrecy, forcing customers to have to visit their physical store. Simply put, but focusing solely on the quality of their products, Hermès has been able to build and maintain a reputation for their brand, and their value continues to increase year after
It shows different ways to wear an outfit or what piece of apparel can go with another piece of apparel. It is a magazine that is like a guide to fashion around the country.
On the other hand, many consumers said they use fashion blogs when they want to find some products reviews. This reason and the previous one show us consumers use fashion blogs an information research tool. According to this last reason, looking for product reviews, we have to keep in mind that in these cases, the desire for the product is strong, eliminating so-called impulse purchases. They know what they want. This is a really important
Finally, don’t forget about social media. Fashion bloggers, runaway models and even designers themselves have understood the power of social media and are entertaining with us with insightful Tweets and beautiful Instagram messages. You’ll have enough material just by exploring the hashtag
As a young girl, I always wanted to enjoy a job where I could play dress-up all day long. I never fully grew out of loving to play dress-up. When I started growing older, I developed a love for fashion and style. I wanted to find a job that would fit with my love of fashion. So, I started to research to find out that fashion blogging fit perfectly with this dream. However, fashion bloggers accomplish more than just playing dress-up they are writers, inspires, and creators. Typically, they maintain a website to promote the clothing they wear. They link a website to promote the clothing they wear. Depending on the blogger, some will post reviews on makeup, give advice, health tips, or review a trip. Most bloggers maintain a following of over 50,000 people on social media. They inspire their followers. One of the blogger’s goals is to make sure their followers feel like they know them. Last spring, I was at North Park Mall in Dallas, Texas, all of the sudden my favorite blogger was in the shoe section. My friends encouraged me to introduce myself. I never found the courage to talk to her. These women I follow on Instagram, and I look up to them. They want to make their followers feel welcomed and wanted. Since I follow them on a day-to-day basis, I feel as if we are friends even though we have never spoken to one another. Ever since being in Dallas, I felt an obligation to speak to a blogger. I was finally given the opportunity. I set out on a journey and emailed a handful of
