The Technology Student Association (TSA) is an organization made of students interested in technology. The TSA uses STEM - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - to create different categories and events for state and national competitions. My partner, Alyssa, and I will be participating in one particular event involving fashion. We must create two outfits for a fairytale character of our creation. As a certain requirement for our senior project, the two outfits must be inspired by marine organisms and involve an educational aspect. The outfits will fit a live model who will model the outfits at the TSA state competition.

The people that would be involved in creating the outfits would be myself and my partner, Alyssa van Doorn. The models would also be involved because we are creating the outfits to fit them. My partner and I decided that we are creating these outfits to be worn for stageplay. The actors will wear these outfits on stage, and they are the target customers for our outfits.

Theatrical performances are always in need of new costumes and outfits. The actors are our target customers. The expected desired situation is the outfits which my partner and I designed will be worn on stage for a musical or fairy tale performance. Clothes and fashion are everywhere. These outfits could also be worn on a daily basis by regular people.

The models, designers, actors, and customers are the stakeholders involved in this project. The designers design and make the outfits/costumes and the models display them to the public. The customers buy the outfits and the actors wear them on stage. Costume designers/organizers for plays or musicals on Broadway or Off-Broadway may buy the outfits to use on stage also. Anyone who may watch the performance is also a stakeholder.

The intended mood needed for the outfits’ designs is theatrical and whimsical. The outfits are supposed to look expensive and tasteful. The outfits should look very royal, since a princess character will be wearing them. The outfits should also be bright, so the audience can clearly see them from the stage. The outfits will be detailed and intricate.

Other stage costumes/outfits do similar tasks as our product. Any type of clothing that can be worn on stage will solve the same problem of dressing the actors.

My partner, Alyssa, and I are participating in the 2013 Fashion Design event for the Technology Student Association (TSA). We must create two outfits inspired by marine life for a fairy tale character. Each of us will take on one outfit. We will design the outfit based on our knowledge of marine life. Models, actors, and costume designers are our stakeholders in this situation. The costumes will be made to be worn on stage. A model will wear and model our designs at the actual TSA event.
