From researching other brands and creating a strong brand identity for my own I’ve started to consider a collection and pieces names for the four pieces that I am creating.
norf. will have two collections a year - namely spring/summer and autumn winter. The collection I am creating will be an Autumn/Winter 2018 collection, however, I wanted to give the collection a name as it creates a more timeless feel to the collection rather than it becoming ‘last season’ once the next comes out. This will create brand loyal customers and will position the brand in the current streetwear market where nothing is ‘last season’ and pieces from old releases become rare.
This collection is inspired by mining work wear and I have researched mining terminology to come up with a relevant title and for garment names:
Downcast - The downcast is the shaft by which fresh air descends into the mine
I liked this name as it is representative of my brand creating something new and fresh from now considered historical garment and cultural aspects of northern identity.
