Week 3 - Diane Tran

When we hear the word "France" or "Paris" we automatically think of the word fashion. France is known for the capital of fashion. This is because Paris is the home of fashion shows and fashion magazines. One person can further change a nation, but a whole group can revolutionize it. There are talented and creative individuals in a population that can ultimately transpire change.
For example, the one person that allowed France to take a step into the transformation of luxury today is King Louis XIV. At a certain point of France's history, he was able to make "France acquired a sort of monopoly on culture, style, and luxury living, a position that it has occupied ever since" (Joan, 3). In addition, France did so well because "the French understood the importance of marketing: thus, when fashion became France, the fashion industry began, along with concepts such as the fashion season that continue to be essential to that industry's functioning" (Joan, 4).  He transformed France into a modern nation that would benefit France into prosperity with the goods that were involved.


As I have no idea of what my startup will be, I will make sure that somehow it would benefit the country I am working on and bring an increase to the economy.
