BROOKLYN, NY. May 11th, 2016 - HICKIES, Inc. has signed Masters Champion Danny Willett to a two-year endorsement deal. Willett will wear the HICKIES Lacing System as part of his equipment on the PGA Tour and European PGA Tour, and will be involved in creating a signature series of HICKIES products for golf.

The Englishman and professional golf champion discovered the HICKIES brand while playing in The Omega Dubai Desert Classic where he won the tournament, and has been wearing them ever since. Then Willett celebrated his first Masters championship in style when he won again wearing the HICKIES Lacing System at Augusta National. Willett will be wearing HICKIES this week in THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.

"I first stumbled across HICKIES in Dubai in the pro shop," said Willett. "I wore them and won the first week! I love the product for my golf shoes. They give the shoes a really clean look, and the stability in them is very good. I'm really happy with them."

"We are so happy for Danny and congratulate him on his performance and achievement at the Masters," said Gaston Frydlewski, the company's founder and CEO. "Danny's use of our product is further validation that HICKIES can stand up to the rigors of sports and perform at the highest level. We are pleased to add Danny officially to our Team."

To expand HICKIES sales into the golf market, the company has selected The Duran Group for executing the rollout to golf specialty retailers and golf pro shops nationwide.

"We evaluated the golf market potential for HICKIES a few weeks before the Masters, and the signs were very positive," stated The Duran Group President Tony Duran. "Consumers spend a lot of money on great golf shoes, and now there is a performance lacing solution that makes their great golf shoes perform even better. HICKIES allows golfers to never have to worry about adjusting their laces before, during, or after their round of golf."

[10] Português Her mother was Greek -born Liliane Nahmias, a Holocaust survivor. 18 months before Fürstenberg was Русский born, her mother was a prisoner at Auschwitz concentration camp . Furstenberg has spoken broadly about her Suomi mother's influence in her life, crediting her with teaching her that "fear is not an option".[11] Svenska Edit links Fürstenberg attended Madrid University before transferring to the University of Geneva to study economics .[12] She then moved to Paris and worked as an assistant to fashion photographer 's agent, Albert Koski.[2] She left Paris for Italy to work as an apprentice to the textile manufacturer Angelo Ferretti in his factory, where she learned about cut, color and fabric.[2] It was here that she designed and produced her first silk jersey dresses.

Career and brand [edit] A year after marrying Prince Egon, Diane von Furstenberg began designing women's clothes - "The minute I knew I was about to be Egon's wife, I decided to have a career. I wanted to be someone of my own, and not just a plain little girl who got married beyond her desserts."[citation needed] Her former husband also became a fashion designer in 1974. After moving to New York, she met with high-profile Vogue editor Diana Vreeland, who declared her designs "absolutely smashing". She had her name listed on the Fashion Calendar for New York Fashion Week, and so her business was created.[2]

In 1974 she introduced the knitted jersey "wrap dress ", an example of which, due to its influence on women's fashion, is in the collection of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1][3][13][14] After the phenomenal success of the wrap dress, Furstenberg was featured on Diane von Furstenberg during New York Fashion the cover of Newsweek magazine in 1976.[15][16] The accompanying Week. article declared her "the most marketable woman since Coco Chanel ."[17] She launched a cosmetic line and her first fragrance, "Tatiana", named after her daughter.[17] The New York Times reported that by 1979 the annual retail sales for the company were $150 million.[2]

In 1985, she moved to Paris , France where she founded Salvy, a French-language publishing house.[2] Furstenberg started a number of other businesses including a line of cosmetics and a home-shopping business, which she launched in 1991. In 1992, Furstenberg sold 1.2 million dollars worth of her Silk Assets collection in two hours on QVC.[17] She credited this success with giving her the confidence to re-launch her company.[citation needed]

Furstenberg re-launched her company in 1997, and re-introduced the wrap dress, which gained traction with an entirely new generation of women. In 1998, she published her business memoir, Diane: A Signature Life.[2] In 2004, she introduced the DVF by H. Stern fine jewelry collection, and launched scarves and beachwear. In 2006, she was elected as President of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, a position she still holds today. In 2008, she received a star on Seventh Avenue's Fashion Walk of Fame.[2]

In 2009, Michelle Obama wore the DVF signature Chain Link print wrap dress on The Official White House Christmas Card.[18] That same year, a large-scale retrospective exhibition entitled "Diane von Furstenberg: Journey of a Dress" opened at the Manezh, one of Moscow's largest public exhibition spaces. The show was curated by Andre Leon Talley and attracted a lot of media attention. In 2010, the exhibition traveled to São Paulo, and in 2011, to the Pace Gallery in Beijing.[19]

In 2012, she launched her first children’s collection with GapKids [22] and a denim collaboration with CURRENT/ELLIOTT.[23]

Her clothes have been worn by many celebrities including Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge , Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale, Madonna , Tina Brown , Jessica Alba , Susan Sarandon and Jennifer Lopez .[24] Google Glass made its New York Fashion Week Debut at the designer's Spring 2013 fashion show.[25]

In 2014, she joined the Ban Bossy campaign as a spokesperson advocating leadership roles for girls.[26][27][28]

Philanthropy [edit] Furstenberg is a director of The Diller – von Furstenberg Family Foundation, which provides support to nonprofit organizations in the area of community building, education, human rights, arts, health and the environment.[29] The foundation supports the "DVF Awards", presented annually to four women who display leadership, strength, and courage in their commitment to womens' causes,[30] and in 2011, the foundation made a $20 million commitment to the High Line .[31]

Furstenberg sits on the board of Vital Voices , a women’s leadership organization,[32] and served as one of the project chairs for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg 's review of the future of NYC's Fashion industry,[33] which was prepared by NYCEDC.

In 2016, Furstenberg designed shirts for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign .[34][35]

We hated tying our shoelaces so we looked for a better way. By replacing traditional shoelaces with HICKIES you can turn any sneaker into a slip-on. Go bold, go slick or go sporty. HICKIES work on all sorts of shoes and with many color combinations you can mix and match them to customize your style again and again.

Evaluation

These HICKIES elastic shoelaces alone change the impression of your shoes. They also have a functional advantage in that you do not have to repeatedly tie your shoelaces every time, and the fact that you can make your own patterns with pleasant colors and shapes to spice up your shoes through having several knotting options to lace up is one of the ways these are highly valued.

the heart of San Francisco, where Endeavor has a support office. Panelists ranged from Silicon Valley venture capital executives to top business leaders, drawn from Endeavor’s extensive global network. This panel also marked the first entrepreneurs selected by Endeavor Detroit and Endeavor Philippines.

The International Selection Panel (ISP) is the culmination of a rigorous multi-step selection process. At the ISP, top local and international business leaders interview candidates about their businesses and high-impact potential, and then vote on whether or not candidates become Endeavor Entrepreneurs. Post- selection, Endeavor provides entrepreneurs with customized services, including introductions to local and international business mentors and volunteers from Fortune 500 consulting firms. Endeavor Entrepreneurs have had a significant track record of creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, generating billions of dollars in revenues, and building sustainable growth models in their home countries.

“The amazing entrepreneurs and high- impact businesses we saw this week demonstrate all of the entrepreneurial potential still waiting to be uncovered around the world,” said Linda Rottenberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Endeavor.

Endeavor will host its final two ISPs of 2015 in Marrakech, Morocco (October 5-7) and Mexico City, Mexico (December 2-4).

Description: dr.consulta provides high-quality, low-cost, and prompt medical consultations, exams, and low-complexity micro- procedures to the 150 million+ uninsured Brazilians.

DETROIT Entrepreneur: Geoff Horst Company: Algal Scientific

Description: Many animal producers resort to antibiotics to help increase the rate of animal growth and production. This has resulted in a rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance in human beings: in the U.S. alone there are an average of 23,000 deaths each year as a result of antibiotic resistance. Algal Scientific is leveraging the immune-boosting power of algae to support animal health and growth without the use of antibiotics. The company’s algae-based beta glucan product (AlgaMUNE™) stimulates the immune systems of animals, translating to increased growth rates and improved feed conversion ratios. The compound is most commonly found in the cell walls of yeast; however, the extraction process is extremely costly, rendering it virtually useless as a widely adopted solution. During the course of his PhD D studies, http://endeavor.org/in-the-news/60th-isp-san-francisco/[10/14/2016 11:16:41 AM] 34 Entrepreneurs from 23 Companies Selected at 60th International Selection Panel in San Francisco - Endeavor

By 2018, EBC plans to triple its workforce and aims to exceed US$34.4M in revenues.

The company sells these “smart plastics” to some of the world’s largest agricultural, automotive and electronic equipment manufacturers, including LG and Toshiba.

PHILIPPINES Entrepreneurs: Nix Nolledo Company: Xurpas

Description: Mobile phone users in emerging markets face challenges that differentiate them from their developed market counterparts. Low credit card penetration makes ecommerce nearly impossible – reducing accessibility to mobile phone content (e.g. messaging applications, info-on-demand applications, and games). In the Philippines, where mobile phones outnumber PCs three-to-one, Xurpas increases access to the Internet by creating and developing mobile content that can be purchased with airtime credit. With distribution agreements in place with three leading telcos, Xurpas’ content currently reaches every single mobile subscriber in the Philippines.

URUGUAY Entrepreneurs: Ignacio de Paula & Eli Barnett Company: ebizmarts

Description: Omnichannel customers spend 350% more than shoppers who buy through just one channel. But until now, the ‘omnichannel’ or every-channel sales opportunity has been prohibitively expensive and complicated to set-up for small and medium businesses (SMB). But not any longer. ebizmarts ‘POS’ or ‘Point-of-Sale’ software and related app connect any retailer’s physical and online stores, helping SMBs to sell more and be more profitable.

Global E-Retailer of the Year

Amazon.com Inc. Amazon.com Inc.'s reach coils the earth. It is the No. 1 online retailer by web sales in North America and Europe, and No. 4 in Asia. And it keeps expanding into new markets. In October 2015, Amazon.in, said it h the highest traffic among e-commerce sites in India with more than 30 million visitors. Last year Amazon China offered about 8 million products on the imported goods section of Amazon.cn called Haiwaigou, whi means “buy from overseas” in Chinese. The Haiwaigou section of Amazon.cn makes it easier for Chinese consumers to purchase products from Amazon's U.S. site as it translates the product pages into Chinese a offers such local payment options as Alipay, a service backed by China e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. Amazon, which is the leading overseas retailer in terms of online sales in China, also introduc flash sales in August on Haiwaigou. The merchant says such sales grew nearly tenfold by year's end. Amazon operates websites in 13 countries outside the U.S. More than 10 million products are available to ship to 75 countries.

Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. China's Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. is already the world's third-largest smartphone vendor in terms of 2 market share and it's aiming grow further by driving more U.S. consumers to buy its products. More than h of Huawei‘s 2015 sales came from markets outside of China and its market share in some European countries tops 10%. However, the U.S. market contributed just 4% to Huawei's sales, and the retailer want change that this year. In 2014, Huawei sold one type of smartphone online in the United States. Now it sel five smartphone models, two tablets, two wearable devices and accessories on its e-commerce site, GetHuawei.com. Huawei is active in social media marketing and more than tripled its followers on Facebo to 600,000 in 2015 from 200,000 in 2014. Huawei's Vmall.com is No. 12 in Internet Retailer's 2016 China 5 Its Honor brand smartphone sells to more than 74 countries and is the top smartphone brand on Amazon's website in France. In 2015 Honor's sales topped $6.3 billion and half of that was generated online.

Uniqlo Co. Ltd. E-commerce represents 5-10% of the global sales of Uniqlo Co. Ltd. and the Japanese fast-fashion retaile took steps in 2015 to strengthen both online sales and ties between its websites and stores. One of those steps was signing an agreement with consulting firm Accenture to build a global, cloud-based e-commerce platform that would connect the retailer's stores and websites. Another was to stop selling online in China JD.com, one of the country's major e-retail sites, after a three month-trial when it determined the site didn't with the company's new e-commerce strategy. Uniqlo operates its own website in China as well as selling through Alibaba's Tmall.com marketplace.

Omnichannel Retailer of the Year

Batteries Plus Bulbs LLC Batteries Plus Bulbs LLC is a great example of a midsized store-based retailer whose robust omnichannel strategy rivals those of much larger competitors. In July 2015, the merchant rolled out buy online, pickup in store capabilities across its 700 retail locations. Online shoppers can see inventory availability at their loca

https://awards.internetretailer.com/2016/Finalists/#Redesign[10/14/2016 11:19:06 AM] Finalists : The 2016 Internet Retailer Excellence Awards : Internet Retailer

store, and the merchant's paid search strategy focuses on driving in-store pickup of online orders. Within weeks of rolling out in-store pickup, Batteries Plus Bulbs increased its online conversion rate from 0.2% to 1.6% and dramatically improved foot traffic into stores. Online orders increased by 500%, with buy online, pick up in-store orders accounting for more than 75% of those orders.

The Neiman Marcus Group Inc. One of the earliest adopters of an omnichannel strategy, luxury department store Neiman Marcus has implemented several technologies that tie together store operations with customer data and online orderin For example, a handful of stores feature a Memory Mirror that allows shoppers to digitally compare outfits tried on in store, and send images of those outfits to friends on social networks. The merchant's mobile ap includes a feature called Snap. Find. Shop., which allows users to photograph a desired product—such as Louis Vuitton purse—from her phone while on the go. The retailer can locate the purse in its inventory and allow the shopper to purchase it through the app. Sales associates are armed with iPhones with a customi mobile app that provides information on a customer's shopping history. The web represents more than 25% total sales for the Neiman Marcus.

Nordstrom Inc. Nordstrom Inc. was one of the first department store retail chains to link its e-commerce and store inventor systems, which allowed the merchant to roll out buy online, pick up in-store capabilities way back in 2008. was also ahead of competitors on other omnichannel-related technologies, as it tested beacon technology and in-store mobile offers in 2013. Now Nordstrom is testing curbside pickup of online orders. The retail ch benefits from an innovative web team and robust e-commerce operation, in part, thanks to its 2011 acquisition of then web-only fashion retailer HauteLook.com. Nordstrom allows consumers to return items purchased on HauteLook.com, and more recently on its NordstromRack.com discount site, to Nordstrom Rack stores. The retailer says that feature drove nearly 1 million incremental trips to Nordstrom Rack store in one year.

Target Corp. In the last three years discount department store chain Target Corp. has rolled out a slew of omnichannel features. For example, Target has offered in-store order pickup since 2013, and consumers collect around 15% of Target.com orders this way. It's also shipping online orders from stores, and Target says its 460 stores that have fulfillment capabilities handled 30% of the retailer's total e-commerce sales in 2015 and 5 of online electronics orders in the fourth quarter. The fact that local stores can ship online orders within two days allows Target to more effectively compete with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. without having to build new e-commerce distribution centers. Moreover, many experts view Target's Cartwheel mo coupon app as one of the most successful mobile apps in retail; as of early 2015 it was responsible for driv more than $1 billion in revenue since its May 2013 launch.

Internet Retailer of the Year

Amazon.com Inc. Despite holding a big lead over its nearest competitors in online sales Amazon.com Inc. continues to grow faster than the broader e-commerce market. In 2015 the e-retailer's North American sales increased by 25.3% while online shopping grew by less than 15%. A big reason is the growth in Amazon Prime, as U.S. membership increased 47% in 2015, Amazon says. Consumer Intelligence Research Partners says there were 54 million U.S. Prime members by late 2015, 47% of all U.S. Amazon shoppers. Merchants that sell Amazon and use Fulfillment by Amazon become eligible for Prime shipping and that's driving growth in FB which handled half of marketplace sellers' orders in 2015. Amazon further raised the bar on delivery, extending its Prime Now two-hour delivery service to 16 major metropolitan areas. While Amazon's custom satisfaction rating in the annual ACSI survey fell to 83 in 2015 from 86 in 2014, it still led the survey. And although Amazon hasn't always turned a profit, it did in 2015: $596 million.

Etsy Inc. Etsy Inc. is responsible for the democratization of online retailing—at least among small artists and artisan Etsy experienced good solid growth in 2015: Sales were up 24% to nearly $2.4 billion, on top of 43% grow the year before. In 2015, it improved navigation, allowed shoppers to sign in using social network credentia and expanded its payment options. Etsy's mobile app has been downloaded 32 million times and, thanks t the improvements to its site, its rating in the Apple App Store in 2015 improved to 4.5 stars from 2.5 stars a year earlier. Mobile now accounts for 43% of sales and 60% of traffic. Etsy is a great example of how the Internet changes both selling and buying, opening markets for artisans whose handcrafted products would have had a limited reach in the past.

Nike Inc. Nike Inc. stands out among consumer brands for its record of innovative e-commerce strategies. It pionee online apparel and shoe customization back in 2000 with the first-of-its kind NikeID sneaker customization tool. It continues to innovate online, improving its NikeID technology, and operating a stunning, easy-to-us

commerce site. Nike targets each customer segment in a unique way online, offering separate mobile app and social media pages for Nike Running, Nike Soccer or Nike Training. This strategy allows Nike to tailor products and content to the needs of each individual consumer. Nike has posted online growth of 30% or more for the past three years, twice the industry average, and projects increasing web sales to $7 billion b 2020 from $1 billion today.

Nordstrom Inc. Nordstrom Inc. is No. 19 in the 2016 Top 500 Guide, and grew its web sales 20% in its most recent fiscal y after growing 28.1% the prior year. Nordstrom has invested heavily in e-commerce, with spending growing 35% a year for the past five years, the company says. Nordstrom used its acquisition of HauteLook to prov the template for NordstromRack.com, and the two sites share a single shopping cart. The retailer added a East Coast e-commerce fulfillment center last year to better serve that part of the country. Nordstrom also ranks No. 48 in the 2016 Mobile 500, which ranks global retailers by their sales to consumers using smartphones and tablets. Nordstrom rolled out a text-to-buy program last year called TextStyle that lets consumers who opt in to Nordstrom's Next text message service to buy a promoted product via text. It also unveiled last year a text program that notifies consumers near one of its stores of specials when they're ne a store. Nordstrom lets a consumer personalize the home page she sees on the retailer's mobile site, and delivers online orders to a shopper's car; notifies the store by phone or text of when she will arrive, parks i designated spot and an employee brings her order to her car.

Wayfair Inc. 2015 was a big year for online-only retailer Wayfair Inc., with 71% growth in web sales. In its first year as a public company, the home furnishings e-retailer spent heavily on marketing, $384.4 million, a 42% increas from the year before. It paid off in customer acquisition, as Wayfair reported it had nearly 5.4 million active customers as of Dec. 31, up from about 3.2 million a year earlier. The online furniture retailer added 769,0 active customers in the fourth quarter of 2015, its largest customer-acquisition quarter to date. Internet Retailer in early 2016 selected Wayfair as it Best Digital Marketer in E-Commerce, based on an analysis o data across email, search and social media. While Wayfair has not yet turned a profit, its net loss of $77.4 million in 2015 was an improvement from a loss of $148.1 million in 2014. Matt Nemer, an analyst at Wells Fargo who follows Wayfair said of the e-retailer, “We are encouraged by the multitude of initiatives that sho continue to drive outsized U.S. growth.”
