Please provide an analysis of your object following the three stages below. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ANSWER ALL BULLETED QUESTIONS BELOW, and you are not limited to these questions — they are simply provided to help guide your process.
This submission does not have a word limit or minimum. You may use bullet points and are not required to write in essay form (though you are welcome to if this is helpful to your process). This submission is designed to help you begin to brainstorm about your blog post, and is not evaluated as a final piece of writing.
OBSERVE AND DESCRIBE:
Evaluate and record descriiptive information about the object. Be as in-depth as possible, use the elements of design to aid in your descriiption, and use tools like a ruler/tape measure, color chart, magnifying glass or microscope if available. You may wish to describe things like:
Color?
Size? Weight?
Smell?
Material(s) (e.g., fiber content, notions) and fabric structure (e.g., knit, woven, nonwoven)? Texture?
Shape, form, silhouette?
Condition/evidence of wear?
Construction and surface details?
Record descriiptions without making value judgments (e.g., “this is pretty” “this is ugly” “this looks like something my grandma would have worn.”)
DEDUCE MEANING AND REFLECT
Begin to hypothesize about the artifact. How do the material and visual elements tell you what the item is, where it comes from, and what it means? At this point, engage the principles of design and other evaluation criteria (e.g., functional design) to reflect upon the relative strengths and weaknesses of the artifact.
Who made this item? When, where, and how?
What sort of object is it?
How would it be used?
Where would it be used?
How was it made?
Where has it traveled?
Who typically wears it or uses it?
Is this item related to or in conversation with other garments/issues/ideas?
INTERPRET, SPECULATE, & REFLECT ON CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE
Begin to put the item into broader cultural and historical context. At this point, consult secondary sources that could help you to understand it better and to evaluate some of the hypotheses you made in the last step.
What kinds of values are attached to this artifact?
What does it “mean” in the world?
What sort of body would wear this garment or use this material? Why? How does the body (and our imagining of it) affect how we read and understand the garment?
What meaning do we tie to its place of origin? To the person who would wear it?
How does your background/knowledge play into your descriiption/deduction?

Here are the comments of my tutor on this deliverable :
Feedback on the 3rd Deliverable (attached).
I general, I see that the weaker area is the research, the first half of the document. Then gets better. But after reading the documents tones of times, I still do not have clarity on why this idea is good and is solving a problem. And I think that’s why the research and evidencing. You have explained to me “I did this and that, I did that event, we received this information” but the way is shown is not convincing. And you need to be bold in defending why chilter is needed, what problems are you solving, why the market needs this, what you have learned though the process, what is your plan, very forcefully. And grounded on evidence.
In general, I do see a need for improvement in these areas:
– information architecture: there are several examples during the document where you mix research content with sales content, mix benefits with outcomes of research, etc.. There is a kind of mixed information where it is really difficult to understand what is the objective, what was done, what was the process, the results, the learnings for the project….is everything mixed (specially research).
– clarity regarding the findings: you should focus on really showing evidence. Through the document, it’s really difficult for me to find strong and clear evidence of the market need, the insights from the users….this should be the starting point and the perception is that you are justifying your decisions more than really researching.
– research depth: there are some pieces where there I’m sure there is much more information and the depth is very superficial.
– the sales/marketing: here you hace all the work done, but you need to defend with attitude. For example: branding. You already have the branding developed and tested. Why is not branding included as a chapter?? The same with packaging, is mentioned but you are not really showcasing the value. The same with your social media feeds. Why are not there? In your case, you do not even need to develop anything.
– be careful with the content, far from being polished is not polished (not worrying as it is still a draft): the content blocks are not introduced, everything is dropped, the graphs are not explained focusing on those key insights you want to underline, different typographies, typos.. Be careful with that.
– language: I’ll avoid the “selling” wording/ vibe, that are absolutely present. You are not selling Chilter. You need to give evidence of why this is a good idea, your problem solving skills, put in value the process you have been developing, your strategic thinking, your decision making, you need to defend, to articulate good responses to the why/what/how, not to sell.

Instructions:

This assignment is an analysis of an illustrated article that appeared in American Vogue between January 1, 1900 and December 31, 1939. You are to write a 3 to 5 page essay that analyzes an article of your choice (NOT one of the assigned course readings) in terms of its context. Some things that are important to include:
What is the relationship between text and image? Are the illustrations drawn or are they photographs? In color? In black and white? Any thoughts as to why that type of illustration is used?
Are the illustrations to set a mood? Or to give information? Are there captions? If so, what do they describe? Do the captions point the reader toward shops, brands, or designers?
What is the social context of the article? Who is the reader?
What is the historical context of the article? Are there mentions of politics/international relations, new technologies (including fabrics or methods)? Is there any information on current events, social expectations or values?
Pay attention to the descriiption of fashions in terms of their use, i.e., “afternoon dress,” “dressing for the horse show,” “dinner jacket,” and the like – these are all socio-economic clues as well as indications of how the garments were marketed.
Details such as those mentioned above will help you situate the fashion within the cultural scene of the time in your essay.
Be sure to review the textbook for the decade from which your article is taken from.
Choose the article with the above in mind. You want to have enough substance to analyze. The essay should be 3 – 5 pages, double-spaced, in 12-point font. Please submit your essay in PDF format.
If you want feedback on an article choice before you write it please send it to both Prof. Cole and Liz well in advance of the due date.
Identify exactly the article with the author (if there is one named), article title (if there is one), publication title, date, and page(s) in the first paragraph or in a footnote.
Your essay should introduce your aim and topic, explain and support your findings, and then wrap up your discussion.
Include a legible copy of the article with your paper in a PDF version. This is essential.
NYU has access to the Vogue database for this assignment through this link:
The Vogue Archive
It is essential that you keep to this database for your article selection. Do not use any source other than Vogue for your choice of article. Not following that guideline will result in a failure grade on the assignment. The assignment is limited to Vogue for very specific reasons and to fit specific learning objectives.
TWO IMPORTANT POINTS:
Your essay is to analyze the fashion of your article WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD OF THE ARTICLE. An analysis of the article that applies politics of our own time in the 21st Century is not the assignment and is not acceptable; failure to adhere to that will result in a substantial grade deduction.
Attaching your article in PDF form (either as a separate file or pasted into your essay) is essential and failure to do so will also result in a substantial grade deduction. We cannot search for your article in the process of grading your paper.
You can upload at the link below.
DUE October 28th at 11:59pm: Editorial Analysis Assignment
Pay close attention to this due date. Late work up to one week will be accepted, but with a deduction in grade.
Work that is more than one week late will not be accepted.
Do not use any source other than Vogue for your choice of article.

Grading and expectations:
Your grade is out of 100 possible points.
Content and making a persuasive point that is well supported are the most important aspects of your grade. Support your analysis and observations with information and concepts from the course so far and the textbook.
Grammar and language usage are important – have someone proofread your work. Language errors that create confusion will impact your grade. Anyone who would like help with language and writing is encouraged to seek out the writing center. Walk-ins are welcome but contact the center for more information:
