In addition, Belk will open two new fl agships, in Dallas and Huntsville, Ala., in 2014. The Dallas store will be the retailer’s fi rst fl agship in Texas. Belk currently has 15 fl agships, meaning that in a COLLECTIONS few years, the 301-unit department store chain could practically double its fl agship count. In the next three years, “we believe we can pick up FALL $75 million in incremental revenues by investing the 2013 $140 million in the locations,” Belk president and chief merchandising offi cer Kathryn Bufano told WWD in an exclusive interview on the fl agship strategy. Retailers like to refer to many of their stores as fl agships, sometimes too loosely. But Belk offi cials say they have clear criteria for the designation. To qualify, Belk offi cials said, the store must be around 160,000 square feet or larger in size, must have a strong enough assortment to convey the company’s new messaging about Southern, modern style and must have a halo effect on other Belk stores within a 50-mile radius. Heavily There are also minimum volume requirements, which Belk executives declined to reveal.

But as pressure to see a return on investment mounts, customer data will become a key differentiator between those that succeed and those that don’t. Brands like Kate Spade, Rebecca Minkoff, Tory Burch, Coach, Burberry and Sephora excel in the space because of the attention paid to science as well as art. Now, a slew of solutions and new sites — Fashion GPS, Olapic and Fohr Card among them — are available to help more brands track facts and fi gures. Maureen Mullen, director of research and advi- sory for New York University think tank Luxury Lab, or L2, in December told WWD that the use of data will “make or break” a business in the next fi ve to 10 years, particularly the use of data in a multichannel environment. “You’re going to start seeing titles like ‘data scien- tist’ emerge in organizations, and quickly those peo- ple will become some of the most important in terms of driving customer value,” Mullen said, drawing a comparison to 2010 when the “hottest job” across re- tail and luxury was a social media manager.

Loangkote* Fashion design is weaving its way through the fabric of American society by transforming how people think about fashion apparel. The $350 billion fashion industry not only puts the clothes on our backs, but gives individuals an outlet for individual expression as well. More and more, the fashion design process is recognized as a creative process where vision, raw materials, and skill meet to produce fashion apparel that should be worthy of sui generis protection. Current intellectual property regimes fail to adequately equip designers with legal remedies to guard against design piracy, and this affects both innovation and competition. Moreover, even though the U.S is a signatory to the Berne Convention, the U.S.’s lack of a protection scheme for fashion design is out of step with other signatory members, namely the European Union, and this mismatch could invite unintended reciprocity problems for American designers abroad.
