PROCLAIM. 

Vision and Purpose – ‘Proclaim is an inclusive nude lingerie line made in Los Angeles from earth-conscious fabrics. We are founded on the principles that fashion should represent all women and can be made in a way that does good for people and the planet. Proclaim is expanding the definition of nude, one ethically made bra at a time’ (Proclaim, 2021).

Brand Identity – Proclaim focus all of their collections around a nude palette. throughout their website they also use simplistic to the point capital typography that is clear to read. They also pride themselves on being an ethical and sustainable brand.

Customer – Proclaims customer profile is all women, of all sizes, especially those who are conscious of the impact of fashion on the environment.

Price – Proclaim is a very affordable brand with the products in the picture above ranging between $30 and $60. This goes against the idea that all sustainable fashion has to be expensive and not affordable, which is the excuse used by many as to why they do not buy sustainably along with accessibility to it. Proclaim are not wholesale, this will have a big impact on why they are able to retail their products at such a low price. They also pay their workers by the hour and not by the piece which emphasises the responsibility of the brand. This is something that we would like to do for our brand looking forward as we would like to be a responsible and possible.

Product – Proclaim have a limited basic range of products with one style of bralette and two styles of briefs. These are all available in four shades of nude and their sizing is from S to 3XL. All of their products are made from earth conscious materials and they are a continuity brand, not seasonal.

Place – Proclaim is an online brand that carries out all of its work from Los Angeles where they have their headquarters as well as their factory.

Promotion – Proclaim offer free shipping with orders over $100 as well as free returns. The brand has had a lot of press promotion and has been included in the likes of ELLE, GLAMOUR and POPSUGAR.

Packaging – All of Proclaims orders are packaged with love, all of their mail bags are made in the USA and are 100% recycled, recyclable and reusable. Instead of using plastic label fasteners, Proclaim use label fasteners made from natural hemp fibres.

Proclaim think about every little detail and the difference they can make in just making that small change to benefit the environment. This is definitely how we want to be as a brand. By being sustainable and responsible, we will be looking into more natural alternatives for each stage of the brand and product development.

SAVAGE X FENTY

Vision and Purpose - ‘Savage X Fenty celebrates fearlessness, confidence and inclusivity. In partnership with a team assembled from the industry’s elite, the label has disrupted and redefined the marketplace with its accessible price point and extensive assortment of lingerie’ (Savage x Fenty, n.d.).

Brand Identity – Rihanna is the main identity for the brand and with her mass following she is able to help to promote the brand far and wide. The logo and colours used are also recognisable and help with the brand identity. One of Savage x Fenty’s major selling points is their clear vision for inclusivity which is made clear across the website and all advertisements.

Customer – Savage x Fenty is for both men and women but does have a higher focus on womenswear. All of the products offered are available in XS to XL, with sizes from XS to 4XL available in the curvy range. I find this disappointing as the brand focuses all of their attention on their inclusivity, however not all of the products available are inclusive in size.

Price – Savage X Fenty is affordable with some of its range, like the bralette pictured above that is on the website for only £30. However, a lot of the lower prices advertised are subject to you paying for a premium membership to get those lower prices.

Product – Savage x Fenty sell both lingerie and sleepwear.

Place – Savage x Fenty is an online brand and they also do pop-up shops for new and limited-edition collections. This is the sort of thing that we have started to think about for our brand with having the main shell of the brand online with the occasional pop-up shop for a physical shopping experience.

Promotion – Savage x Fenty do a lot of promoting both on Instagram and TikTok with available links to the different products seen in the posts. They have also had a lot of press coverage in Vogue, Elle and PopSugar etc. linking back to the different prices for the brand, Savage x Fenty do VIP offers where you can receive 25% off everything on the website with some additional offers taking the discount up to 60%. However, to receive these VIP offers you have to sign up to a monthly subscription of £49.95 a month. Personally, I do not see the benefit of this scheme unless you are buying a lot of underwear every month. There would be a lot of people not wanting to sign up to this which would end up with them having to pay the higher full price for the product that they would have originally seen advertised with the discounted price. Savage x Fenty also support by now pay later options as well as free returns and free delivery on orders over £49.

Packaging - Savage x Fenty use luxury boxes for their packaging, this helps to promote the brand and to show that it is luxury, this will be a costly part of production and not usually paired with a free delivery service, therefore the brand is showing that there has been no expense spared from any aspect of the brand or the order being delivered to the customer.

After looking into Savage X Fenty I do not think that this is a brand that we can base our brand off of as there are just too many differences and not enough similarities in terms of the brands vision and responsibly. We will definitely look into making a website and what goes into a pop-up shop, like this brand. This brand also had the most inclusive sizing out of the ones that I have researched so far, which is inspiring, however I would want our brand to show its inclusivity across every product and not just a selected collection.

Baserange 

Vision and Purpose – ‘Founded in 2012, Baserange is a line of modern basics with an emphasis on clean lines and easy silhouettes. The company works closely with innovative vendors to develop high quality textiles from both natural fibres and recycled content. Baserange believes that a commitment to clean production will minimize environmental impact and benefit both the producer and the user’ (Baserange, 2021).

Brand Identity – Baserange have a unique logo and use the same typography throughout their website. They do a range of different styles and colours which makes it difficult to pinpoint their individual identity and what makes them recognisable.

Customer – Baserange customers will be those who are conscientious and sized between XS and L. Unfortunately, Baserange are not a size inclusive brand despite being conscious of their commitment to the environment. This shows that different brands have one focus point, whereas we want our brand to have multiple focus points looking into the customer and the environment equally.

Price – The pricing of Baserange is very mixed and goes from affordable to mid to high end depending on the product and what material it is made from. For example, pictured is a pair of €35 pants and €60 bralette which are both affordable. However, because the sweater is made from 100% Merino wool it is priced at €380 which is in a completely different price range to the underwear.

Product – Baserange do a range of different products for women including underwear, bodysuits, tees, tops, bottoms, dresses, pants, jumpsuits, socks, knitwear, and accessories. The brand is seasonal with its colour palette with rust and maple green being used for the autumn/winter season.

Place – Baserange are an online brand based in France with an online shop and have stock in a number of French stores.

Promotion – On the main website there is no clear indication of where or how the brand promotes their brand through marketing. In terms of offering promotions, they do free shipping on orders over €150, with free returns. They also have a sale of up to 40% off for previous collections.

Packaging – The packaging used by Baserange is not clear on their website, however, it does state that they are part of DHL’s Go Green Co2 Compensation Program, which is a climate neutral service that contributes to combatting climate change.

In Baserange’s vision and purpose they talk about being committed to clean production and minimising the impact of fashion on the environment. This is definitely something that I want to take forward to our brand, along with the inclusivity and pop-up shop ideas of Savage X Fenty, the sustainability and responsibility of Proclaim, and the overall availability and promotion level of ASOS in the future.

Restaurant Florida

  Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat is a list unlike any other “best of” out there. Sure, you’ll see your fancy-schmancy spots and white tablecloth restaurants, but it’s also chock full of hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path joints. From fine dining to shawarma food trucks — find them all in Yelp’s seventh annual Top 100 Places to Eat in the US.

Shawarma Guys is a popular San Diego food truck and was even crowned the best food truck in California earlier this year. With nearly 500 reviews and a 5-star average, it’s clearly making customers happy. Yelpers love their chicken shawarma wrap (61 reviews)! Other favorites on this year’s list include: Lewis Barbecue (no. 34) who make their Top 100 debut this year; Healthy Substance (no. 57), a vegan Mexican restaurant where Yelpers rave about the chilaquiles; and Yardie Spice (no. 7), a beloved Miami mainstay who has made the list three years in a row.

To determine Yelp’s Top Places to Eat in 2020, Yelp’s data science team pulled the top restaurants by ratings and number of reviews in 2019 across the U.S., with representation based on each place’s share of top-rated restaurants nationally, then curated the list with the expertise of our Community Managers around the country to finalize the rankings. The result is a list as quirky, interesting and unique as the Yelp Community itself. 

You’re going to want to make a note of these spots, so we made it easy for you. Open this link on mobile (make sure to have the Yelp app downloaded!) and hit ‘follow’ once you’ve opened it in the app. Now you’ll always have the Top 100 with you.

Did we miss one of your must-try restaurants? Share your thoughts on the list on social media using #YelpTop100 and tell us what you think. Remember, we only know how good a spot is if people take the time to review it, so share your thoughts on Yelp, and maybe your favorites will be on next year’s list!

*** *** ***

And A kind of Blind-Obey-virus-program has spread around the planet. Child Blind-Obey-virus-program-Robots Being Mass Produced, Built to Kiss-any kind of Dark Tyranny Ruler’s-Ass. And generation after generation, and passed through generation to generation. *** *** *** Factories in this planet are producing lifelike Child Blind-Obey-virus-program-Robots loaded with the Blind-Obey-virus-program-artificial intelligence necessary to fulfill their customers’ - any kind of Dark Tyranny Ruler’ - most extreme mental illness perversions. *** *** *** So….Just like the Thousands and thousands Of Syrian, Iraq or different name country, different area Refugees Escape from home, no matter of it’s what kind of social, country, rulers, no matter of it’s eastern or western, no matter of it’s ancient or modern…! *** *** ***

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding. ~Proverbs 4:7

*** *** ***

Indeed they found their fathers astray.

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps.

And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,

Their deeds are like ashes which the wind blows forcefully on a stormy day; they are unable [to keep] from what they earned a [single] thing.

That is what is extreme error.

*** *** ***

And…:

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. ~Qscar Wilde *** *** ***

And…:

Everyone tells you what to do and what’s good for you.  They don’t want you to find your own answers.  They want you to believe theirs. ~Socrates *** *** ***

So…: The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. 愚蒙人是話都信，智慧通達者步步審慎。 ～Proverbs 14:15 King James Bible *** *** ***

By their fruits you will get knowledge of them. Do men get grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

Even so, every good tree gives good fruit; but the bad tree gives evil fruit.

It is not possible for a good tree to give bad fruit, and a bad tree will not give good fruit.

*** *** ***

Not equal are the blind and the seeing,

Nor are the darknesses and the light,

Nor are the shade and the heat,

And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, 

*** *** *** Because…: Nation of sheep.  Ruled By Wolves & Tiger.  Owned By pigs. And I follow orders like a dog. It's what made me a "man"(woman; children). *** *** *** 【Ruler】: Between th frown of the tiger and smile of the wolf the flock is perished; the ruler claims himself as kind of the law, and the priest as the representative of “God”(religion-morality-belief-system), and between these two, the bodies are destroyed and souls wither into nothing. ~Gibran *** *** *** 【God】: Man has worshiped his own “self”(egoism-standard) since the beginning, calling that self by appropriate titles, until now, whey he employs the word “God”(religion-morality-belief-system) to mean that same “self”(egoism-standard). ~Gibran *** *** *** 【Segregation】: A God who is good knows of no segregation amongst words or names, and were a God to deny His blessing to those who pursue a different path to eternity, then there is no human who should offer worship. ~Gibran *** *** ***

So…: I always very curiosity about such like when we question mankind history,  See any kind of preach and teach people kiss Dark-Tyrant-Ruler’s ass, …: *** *** *** 以致古���今來，不論東方或西方或任何地區...： So in this earth-time-space, from the past to present, no matter it’s in the east or west or in any area ...: 絕大多數的人們, 不斷重複歷史的舊有既定命運，結局與下場，一代又一代！ The overwhelming majority of people constantly repeat the old established fate of history and ending , generation after generation! *** *** *** They all said this…: My entire life can be described in one sentence:  Just Blind-Obey and Blind-follow and kiss any kind of Dark-Tyranny-Ruler’s-Ass. ***  No matter it’s in a world, a country, a home, a mind-body. *** *** *** Because…: I never dreamed I'd grow up to be kiss-ass-fools-asshole! And all my every lifetime only Three stages of life: 1. Birth. 2. What the fuck is about this, … my whole life just Programmed into Blind-Obey and Blind-follow and kiss any kind of Dark-Tyranny-Ruler’s-Ass. ***  No matter it’s in a world, a country, a home, a mind-body. ***  3. Death. *** *** *** My entire life can be described in one sentence:  Just Blind-Obey and Blind-follow and kiss any kind of Dark-Tyranny-Ruler’s-Ass. ***  No matter it’s in a world, a country, a home, a mind-body. *** *** *** And same to you…: You are a victim of the rules you live by. *** *** *** By the standards that you’ve learned on your planet - by the laws and rules that you’ve learned; even by the morality that you learned from your parents or your peers or your religion, …. - you have picked up opinions and beliefs. *** *** *** Because…: If this is all a dream, a Maya, a mirage, it's long as fuck....: Because lesson repeats until it is learned….: It has 5000 years in China.

It's exists inside the minds of the masses. As a form of social, economic, cultural, political and educational indoctrination. Collective psychosis. *** *** *** Humankind is the only virus cursed to live with the horrifying knowledge of its host's fragile mortality. *** *** *** And ~~~! The host kills the virus, or the virus kill the host. *** *** *** You get what you expect, have you noticed that?  And so, how have you been programmed to expect?  *** *** *** We all place ourselves in danger to one degree or another when we stand up, but we place our children and grandchildren in ever greater danger when we don't. *** *** *** So...If you kill those only just preach, teach, or built children going to Kiss  any kind of Dark Tyranny Ruler’s-Ass-virus-belief-programs  or help people to get rid of it, …: *** *** *** No matter it’s in a world, a country, a home, a mind-body. *** *** *** No matter it’s use the name of “God”, Use the name of man-made-moral, Use the name of country,  Use the name of family,  Use the name of egoism,  *** *** *** Between your “God” and my “God”, kills each others,  Between your man-made-moral and my man-made-moral, kills each others,  Between your country and my country, kills each others,  Between your family and my family, kills each others,  Between your body and my body , kills each others,  *** *** *** No matter it’s use the name of Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, the emperor of Japan, North Korea's leadership, Hitler, Stalin, …: *** No matter of it’s use the name of religion, moral, country, home, education-system, parents, teachers, husbands, boss…! *** No matter of it’s use the name of any kind of tyranny in history. *** *** *** Then your whole world will peace, joy, happy, relax as Cat. *** *** *** And if you can’t do this, don’t tell me you are a guru, or an-sincerity-honest-enlightenment-heart, because it’s a cosmic joke. *** *** *** Otherwise…: May I ask one question, ...”so call” enlightened-heart-man his Life is going to the Finish Line, Final Line, so his Life is all disappear, so he never have any Life anymore? I am so curiosity about this, have any enlightened-heart-man can tell me about this??? *** *** *** If not...then ”so call” enlightened-heart-man…:  What suggestions and ideas are you giving yourself?

Those are the ways of the "egoism-standard"(No matter it is parents, government, husband, teachers, religion, morality or mind). And that is what all politics-morality-religion-belief-system is.  *** *** ***  Since every children is a human not a robot.  So, why as parents they want indoctrinate their children and their inner-children??? *** *** *** Because…: Most people are other people.
