ONE DIRECTION: NEW FACE OF ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH OR JACK WILLS

THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL ENDORSEMENT. THE CORE/FANATIC FANS ARE THE SAME CUSTOMERS OF THESE 2 BRANDS.
THEY COULD DO A CONCERT IN THE FLAGSHIP STORES.
A CAMPAIGN, FOR THE BRANDS THAT COULD INVOLVE POSTERS THAT FANS COULD BUY ON THE SHOP AND BAND WEBSITE.
ALSO POTENTIALLY IF YOU WHERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE ONE DIRECTION WEBSITE, YOU COULD ALSO GET A DISCOUNT AT THESE STORES???

ONE DIRECTION BIG FANS OF ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH AND JACK WILLS


ONE DIRECTION: STYLE CLASSICS

TRAINERS
LOW CRUTCH TROUSERS
LAYERED T-SHIRTS WITH CARDIGANS
MUTED COLOURS, BROWNS, GREYS, BLACK AND BLUES.

THEY DRESS AS A BAND, AS IN THEY ALL WEAR SOMETHING THAT WORKS TOGETHER. THERE ARE CERTAIN STYLES THAT EACH BAND MEMBER WEAR.

PERHAPS THE MERCHANDISE WOULD BE MORE SUITED TO THERE STYLE. FOR EXAMPLE SOME PIECES IDEAL FOR LAYERING LIKE THE SCARFS AND THE CARDIGANS/ V-NECKS WITH THE T-SHIRTS.

ONE DIRECTION: STYLE ICONS!!!!

ONE DIRECTION SUPER WEBSITE!!!

TAKING A SIMILAR IDEA FROM THE MCFLY WEBSITE YOU COULD CREATE A WEBSITE THAT FANS COULD SUBSCRIBE TO FOR A SMALL FEE, PERHAPS £3 A MONTH. THIS WOULD GIVE THEM ACCESS TO:
EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE OF THE BAND
PERSONAL MESSAGES TO FANS
ACCESS TO TICKET PURCHASES BEFORE THE GENERAL PUBLIC
COMPETITONS- TO MEET THE BAND
FREE DOWNLOADS OF SINGLES
DISCOUNT OFFERS FROM SPONSORED BRANDS SUCH AS POKEMON AND JACK WILLS?

HOWEVER, THIS MUST NOT DRAIN THE PUBLIC WEBSITE.

THE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION MIGHT ALSO BE AVAILABLE AS A GIFT PACKAGE.

MONSTER BALL TOUR REVIEW

In a show that the Sun described as “awe-inspiring" and "the best live show you will see this year" Lady Gaga's The Monster Ball tour is a visual spectacular bringing the vision of pop music’s biggest star to vivid reality. Self-described as “more of a musical than a concert” the journey to the ball takes Gaga and fans on a wild and warped ride from start to finish. From the Gaga’ized Rolls Royce through 15 costume changes, as the Times say, this is truly “one helluva ride.

STAGE SET UP FROM GAGA TOUR

I’ve been thinking about ways to play with the shape of this stage and change the way that we watch things,” she says. “So what I’ve done is I’ve designed a stage with Haus of Gaga that is essentially a frame with forced perspective, and the frame is put inside the stage.




GAGA'S CONCERTS ARE MADE PERSONAL FOR HER FANS

"The show delivered all of the expected delights of Lady Gaga, i.e. great singing, dancing, costumes, and unexpected and sometimes bizarre moments. She connected with the audience frequently with personal statements. I loved that the fans were of all ages. However, parental discretion is advised for pre-teens and younger teens due to profanity and sexual content. The theme of the show was directed toward young adults and feeling good about who you are, especially sexual preference."


"This I have to say was one of the best concerts I have ever been too.... Gaga totaly delivered a fab performance and was better than we ever expected, I would totaly tell everyone tgo go see her in oncert. AMAZING!!!!!!"

LADY GAGA'S PERFORMANCE ON HBO ON 7TH MAY


"Lady Gaga's two concerts at Madison Square Garden this week are being taped for an HBO concert special to be televised May 7. Filming began Monday (2/21) and resumes tonight (2/22), and footage will also be used for a documentary about Gaga's "Monster Ball" tour.
Gaga, who pays homage to her New York City roots on the tour, is expected to add some fresh material to the MSG shows; the "Wizard of Oz" influenced show has a pop-opera feel with Gaga and friends getting lost in NYC on their way to the "Monster Ball," according to CBS New York news."
BY AIRING THE PERFORMANCE SHE WILL ENTICE PEOPLE TO COME TO HER NEXT TOUR.
HER TOUR, OF A "MUSICAL OPERA" STLYE PERFORMANCE, SHOWS ANOTHER WAY OF PERFORMING THE SONGS, THUS MAKING THE LIVE EXPERIENCE OF HERS LIKE NONE OTHER.

QUOTE FROM GAGA ABOUT HE NEW MONSTER BALL TOUR WHICH STARTED IN 2010

"It's still called Monster Ball, but it's more of a musical and less of a concert,” Lady Gaga said in a February interview with KIIS-FM’s Ryan Seacrest. “It has a New York theme, it's a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York and we're going to the Monster Ball, and we get lost."

GAGA WINS AWARD FOR HER TOUR PERFORMANCE


Contemporary critics praised the show; commending Gaga's singing abilities and sense of style and fashion. They were also impressed by the pompousness and the theatricality of the show, comparing it to the tours of artists like Madonna. At the 2010 Billboard Touring Awards, Gaga won the Breakthrough Performer Award, as well as the Concert Marketing & Promotion Award, the latter being an acknowledgment of her partnership with Virgin Mobile.
