Hi, I’m a design student and I’m writing because of my dissertation. My work is about fashion and corporate design. I would like to make an analysis about fashion and their corporate imagery.

The question of the test is: "Do you know the fashion houses of the pictures?"

The test consists of 40 fashion images of which you should define the fashion house/label and the reason for your decision. It’s important for me that you know that I only use every information for my dissertation.

You would help me a lot if you take part. (max. 10 min) Thanks a lot, and best regards, 4fashion The link to the test: Start the Test
