    Retail Product Merchandising: Retail Buying-Selling Cycle

    Retail Product Merchandising: Retail Buying-Selling Cycle SECTION 2: Establishing the Retail Merchandise Mix Part 1: The Basics of the Retail Merchandise Mix Part 1: 1-2 Industry Zones in the Apparel Industry Fashion products, especially in the women’s wear industry, are categorized by the industry zone in which they are produced and marketed. Industry has designated these zones as a) Haute Couture or couture, b) designer, c) bridge, d) contemporary, e) better, f) moderate, g) popular price/budget/mass, and g) discount/off price. Often the industry emphasizes the wholesale costs or price points of the merchandise in order to define the zone. However, price alone is not the major factor impacting the placement of the merchandise in the zone. Major factors impacting the zone classifications include the following criteria: . fashion level of the design (i.e., degree of design innovation inherent or intrinsic to the merchandise) . type and name of designer creating and developing the design concept . wholesale cost and retail price of product . types and quality of fibers and fineness of fabrications, trims, and findings . standards of construction quality or workmanship quality. In summary, the classification of a zone is based on the type of designer creating the product, design level of the product, type and quality of fabrications, standards of the workmanship, and the price range of the merchandise. Therefore, depending upon the lifestyle of the target consumer, the fashion taste level of that consumer (i.e., position of product on the fashion curve), and the current fashion trend direction in the market, the retailer, when procuring the merchandise mix, selects the industry zone(s) which offer(s) the product characteristics most desired by the target consumer.

  • A Kennedy Black Fashion Design 1 Overview

    A Kennedy Black Fashion Design 1 Overview

    A Kennedy Black Fashion Design 1 Overview: What is fashionable is a subjective subject; ask five different people what makes something fashionable, and the answers will likely be five different ideas. Mainstream, dominant American fashion is dominated by names like Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Ann Taylor, Michael Kors, Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, and Betsey Johnson. These powerhouses of fashion design all have one common denominator—they are all white. The question of how and where black fashion designers find their fit in America’s capitalist, entrepreneurial society is compelling to anyone interested in fashion, but it is also one that is engaging and relevant to high school students. A historical perspective must start with the first African-American “fashion designers”—black women of the 19th and 20th centuries who made their living as seamstresses and dressmakers. A particularly interesting account is found at the National Humanities Center Website (2007). In their first hand account of her story: ““The Making of African American Identity: Vol. I, 1500-1865”, readers learn about Elizabeth Keckly, dressmaker to Mary Todd Lincoln. Keckly was born into slavery in Virginia in 1818, and remained a slave until she was granted manumission, freed from slavery by her owner, in St. Louis in 1855. Keckly had a reputation for being an excellent dressmaker, and upon her arrival in Washington DC in 1860 she quickly found work with the wife of then Senator Jefferson Davis. Through her reputation as a skilled and efficient dress-maker, Keckly was employed by multiple wives of military officials to make dresses for them.

    sustainability Article Ethical Consumers’ Awareness of Vegan Materials: Focused on Fake Fur and Fake Leather Yeong-Hyeon Choi 1 and Kyu-Hye Lee 2,* 1 Department of Clothing and Textiles, Hanyang University, Seoul 04763, Korea; [email protected]figure 2 Human-Tech Convergence Program, Department of Clothing and Textiles, Hanyang University, Seoul 04763, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-2220-1191 Abstract: With an increase in ethical awareness, people have begun to criticize the unethical issues associated with the use of animal materials. This study focused on the transition of global consumers’ awareness toward vegan materials and the relationship between the interest in ethical subjects such as animals, the environment, and vegan materials. For this purpose, consumers’ posts about fur/fake fur and leather/fake leather uploaded on Google and Twitter from 2008 to 2019 were utilized, and the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (Tf-idf ) value was extracted using Python 3.7. Furthermore, the worldwide Google keyword search volume of each word was analyzed using Smart PLS 3.0 to investigate global consumers’ awareness. First, with time, consumers began relating animal materials such as fur and leather to topics such as animal rights, animal abuse, and animal protection. Second, as interest in “animal welfare” increased, interest in “fake fur” also rose, and as interest in “cruelty free” increased, interest in “fake fur”, “vegan fur”, and “vegan leather” also increased. Third, as consumers’ interest in the “environment” increased, interest in vegan materials such as “fake fur” and “fake leather” decreased. However, as interest in “eco” increased, interest in “vegan leather” also augmented.

She performed live at last years Odd Molly runway show at New York Fashion Week and when choosing future model woman for Odd Molly she was an easy pick. Top Model Charlotte is not only extraordinarily beautiful in her very personal look, she is also genuinely talented in many other ways. We saw her entertain live, singing and playing accordion with boyfriend Sean Lennon at our show and we all fell in love. Odd Molly truly celebrates the many qualities in a woman and we see Charlotte Kemp Muhl as a perfect successor to Helena Christensen. And Yes, Charlotte truly loves our designs and our core values so the love is very mutual.
