Question

Choose either the fashion or design industry and explain how you think the baby boomers, those born right after World War II, will change the industry as they transition from later-middle age to senior citizens. Explain the reasons for your answer.

Answer 1

The baby boomers could change the fashion industry as they transition to senior citizens because they could motivate designers to create products that meet their needs. For example, they might motivate shoe designers to design shoes that are similar to those worn by the younger generation but perhaps with more comfort and lower heels. Therefore, they will maintain their sense of fashion, but in a rather different manner.
