Audience Research

I am a first year Media and Communication student at Birmingham City University. For one of my modules I am researching fashion fans as a media audience. The question of my study is “How have fashion fans responded to the Gucci Fall Winter 2018 fashion show?”. I am inviting you to become a participant in my research and answer these questions as honestly as possible. I am also kindly asking you to answer the open questions as broadly as you can as every bit is very important for the researcher. All answers will be kept entirely anonymous. This survey is for academic purposes only.

Questionnaire results are available only to the author
