Accessories Brief:

Shoes:
6 x black/grey heels - varying styles.
Sizes: Between 6 and 8
Prices: as cheap as possible; budget of £100 for all six pairs.
Some will be painted so think but others will be left as is.
Possibly one pair with laces that can be replaced with ones complimenting the colours of the collection.

Bags:
Original design
Colours to fit with collection colours - mainly black / grey with highlight colours of turquoise, pink/purple, orange, white.
Inspiration to be taken from items within the hip-hop / graffiti styles. Think spray cans, boom boxes, music, break dancers etc mix that with brief cases.
Range - large and small
Focus on the music side of the inspiration, the idea is to have something which looks similar to boom boxes with speakers in that can be hooked up to an I-pod / MP3 player.
Needs to be practical to either use for an event I.e. a largish bag to take supplies in such as press release / press packs - possibly approx A4 size.
Alternatively it could be a small item such as a clutch bag but needs to have a strap so it is not too fussy and the user doesn’t need to worry about putting it down and loosing it.
Colourful but not over the top so it clashes with the collection.
Think fun funky, unique and practical.
