99% YOUTH · Strategy Courrèges 2016 vers 2017
Since Tavi is globally known as the “ROOKIE” girl: HYPERLINK "http://c.buyoly.com/tavi-gevinson-rookie-yearbook-one-lg.jpg" \t "_blank" http://c.buyoly.com/tavi-gevinson-rookie-yearbook-one-lg.jpgAs with HERMES and the “BIRKIN” bag and LOUIS VUITTON and the “Sc” [Sofia Coppola] bag Courreges could create the “ROOKIE” bag. It might be a backpack which is how PRADA got traction in the 1980’s.This just for our collective knowledge.1 HYPERLINK "http://stylewile.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/hermes-birkin-bag-2.jpg" \t "_blank" http://stylewile.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/hermes-birkin-bag-2.jpg2.

Another big marketing [cool factor] project would be to create the "GIRL SQUAD" Courreges cotton t-shirt. [SIGNED] 99% YOUTH
MSGM "POP" HYPERLINK "http://www.crash.fr/msgm-fw15-campaign/" \t "_blank" http://www.crash.fr/msgm-fw15-campaign/What our philosophical approach can be termed is POP “Social Sculpture”For our use only [Second Wave feminism meets Fith Wave feminism: HYPERLINK "https://whatcalicodidnext.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/opinion-art.jpg" \t "_blank" https://whatcalicodidnext.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/opinion-art.jpg+ HYPERLINK "http://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/02/15/fashion/15BETSY/15BETSY-blog427.jpg" \t "_blank" http://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/02/15/fashion/15BETSY/15BETSY-blog427.jpgEQUALSModel: Tavi GevinsonPhotographer: Petra CollinsT-shirt design” BIANCA CHANDON owned by Alex Olson HYPERLINK "http://shopghost.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/TAVI_SOLO-767x1024.jpg" \t "_blank" http://shopghost.com/sg/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/TAVI_SOLO-767x1024.jpgSHOP GHOST is owned by stylist Stevie DanceJust add: Sebastian Meyer & Arnaud VaillantThe result is: Informed and involved POP/GRL PWRDesign a ROOKIE/Courreges bag and this will be a huge hit.
They are of course relating to the POP of the 1960’s which even
the Italian brand MSGM is referencing BUT they do not have the vital piece of the
campaign puzzle is the rising tide of POP/GRL PWR
………………………………………………………………….
Now the third and down & dirty LAWLESS SOLUTION for Courreges:
Model: Tavi Gevinson photographed by Petra Collins:
HYPERLINK "http://www.petracollins.com/?portfolio=605" \t "_blank" http://www.petracollins.com/?portfolio=605
This solution solves 100% of the need for the Courreges brand to establish that
it is informed and involved with the absolutely EDGE of the new cultural movement:
FIFTH WAVE FEMINISM
Using Tavi and Petra [who were roommates in Brooklyn] and who both represent
the the leadership of the new GRRRL POWER or "GRL PWR” which is what I would
name this campaign. Tavi is part of both Petra Collin’s “BABE” collective:
HYPERLINK "http://www.amazon.com/Babe-Petra-Collins/dp/3791381032" \t "_blank" http://www.amazon.com/Babe-Petra-Collins/dp/3791381032
AND Taylor’s Swift’s GIRL POSSE:
HYPERLINK "http://flavorwire.com/476139/in-defense-of-taylor-swifts-female-friendship-renaissance" \t "_blank" http://flavorwire.com/476139/in-defense-of-taylor-swifts-female-friendship-renaissance
No other brand in Europe with combine these various elements into a social message.
NOTE: This might be the most effective strategy. Getting Petra & Tavi to work on this
has a natural energy to it. No one in the industry would expect this from Courreges.
Still need a ZINE to be created from any of these strategies.
Still need to create the Courreges nylon coach jacket with any of these solutions:
HYPERLINK "https://cdnc.lystit.com/photos/2013/10/29/urban-outfitters-black-stussy-croc-coaches-jacket-product-3-14548845-208516752_large_flex.jpeg" \t "_blank" https://cdnc.lystit.com/photos/2013/10/29/urban-outfitters-black-stussy-croc-coaches-jacket-product-3-14548845-208516752_large_flex.jpeg
The jacket will work like the initial KENZO sweatshirt. Everyone wore one:
HYPERLINK "https://thehunt.insnw.net/app/public/system/zine_images/147714/original/989c12575d7100da1e9277d3019b1476.jpg" \t "_blank" https://thehunt.insnw.net/app/public/system/zine_images/147714/original/989c12575d7100da1e9277d3019b1476.jpg
I loke GRL PWR and FIFTH WAVE as statements that can be used to describe the message.
THE BRAND NEEDS SPACE [sexy] and a strong dose of new generation POP/girl-power society.
The beginning of the Courreges thought process:
Courreges [the sisters could be amazing]

This is the most conservative creative direction BUT Tavi Gevinson "speaks" to millions of girls and she has NOT represented any European "high" concept fashion maison.
Model: Tavi Gevinson HYPERLINK "http://www.vanityfair.com/unchanged/2014/09/tavi-gevinson-this-is-our-youth-annie-leibovitz-photo" \t "_blank" http://www.vanityfair.com/unchanged/2014/09/tavi-gevinson-this-is-our-youth-annie-leibovitz-photo HYPERLINK "http://cbsnews1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/2014/08/29/b3d9d9e3-a781-4cd2-9916-8f47fbad36c6/tavi-gevinson-179872965.jpg" \t "_blank" http://cbsnews1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/2014/08/29/b3d9d9e3-a781-4cd2-9916-8f47fbad36c6/tavi-gevinson-179872965.jpgTAVI ON BROADWAY HYPERLINK "http://cdn03.cdn.justjaredjr.com/wp-content/uploads/pictures/2014/08/tavi-youth/tavi-gevinson-this-youth-photo-call-04.jpg" \t "_blank" http://cdn03.cdn.justjaredjr.com/wp-content/uploads/pictures/2014/08/tavi-youth/tavi-gevinson-this-youth-photo-call-04.jpgPhotographer: Ami Sioux HYPERLINK "http://www.amisioux.com/published/zine-n1/" \t "_blank" http://www.amisioux.com/published/zine-n1/Commission Zine No. 2The cover is the main ad art direction: HYPERLINK "http://www.amisioux.com/published/zine-n2/Epson_09292014164050_v2.jpg" \t "_blank" http://www.amisioux.com/published/zine-n2/Epson_09292014164050_v2.jpgThe bus shelter posters during Paris Fashion Week would be amazing.Tavi Gevinson is in the center of the new feminism posse including:Taylor Swift HYPERLINK "http://cdn02.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/swift-tavi/taylor-swift-grabs-lunch-with-gal-pal-tavi-gevinson-09.jpg" \t "_blank" http://cdn02.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/swift-tavi/taylor-swift-grabs-lunch-with-gal-pal-tavi-gevinson-09.jpgLorde HYPERLINK "http://cdn.idesigntimes.com/data/images/full/2014/01/03/25028.jpg" \t "_blank" http://cdn.idesigntimes.com/data/images/full/2014/01/03/25028.jpgSTRATEGYTavi Gevinson representing Courreges in an advertising and cultural expression campaign will most likelyget everyone in her circle of new “feminist” friends including Taylor Swift and Lorde and Lena Dunhamto tweet about their GRRRL POWER bestie Tavi representing Courreges. I think Taylor Swift would thenwant to wear Courreges.She could curate a day or two of cultural events including a few hours on WAR DANCE radio.

I have a second version of this strategy where the photographer is skater ALEX OLSON:
HYPERLINK "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWydT-BNbQo" \t "_blank" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWydT-BNbQo
who is socially involved with stylist STEVIE DANCE:
HYPERLINK "http://www.steviedance.com" \t "_blank" http://www.steviedance.com
TAVI GEVINSON would still be the star of the campaign.
What could happen is that the campaign also has a DPS [double-page spread] version:
One page Tavis photographed by ALEX OLSON and the second page a self-portrait of
ALEX OLSON by Alex Olson [playing the part of the boyfriend]. Alex would be wearing
a nylon skater coach jacket with the Courreges logo on the black like:
HYPERLINK "https://photon-101medialablimit.netdna-ssl.com/s3.store.hypebeast.com/media/image/2012/12/jacket1_3.jpg?fit=1400%2C1820" \t "_blank" https://photon-101medialablimit.netdna-ssl.com/s3.store.hypebeast.com/media/image/2012/12/jacket1_3.jpg?fit=1400%2C1820
The jacket would be made by Alex Olson’s company BIANCA CHANDON

HYPERLINK "https://twitter.com/biancachandon" \t "_blank" https://twitter.com/biancachandon
We would also make a ZINE from Alex Olson’s photographs.
Alex skating through Les Chaux wearing a Courreges nylon coach jacket
would be huge online. Even if he skated at a know Paris skate spot it
would work.
TAVI GEVINSON
ALEX OLSON
STEVIE DANCE
This could not be any hipper.
