  • Apparel Executives Industry Perceptions: Implications for Academia 31
    APPAREL EXECUTIVES INDUSTRY PERCEPTIONS: IMPLICATIONS FOR ACADEMIA 31 Apparel Executives Industry Perceptions: Implications for Academia Roseanna Garcia California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Cynthia Regan California State Polytechnic University, Pomona The Los Angeles (LA) apparel industry represents the largest manufacturing employer in LA County, which makes it a prosperous combination of jobs and creativity. Los Angeles has been looked upon by other fashion cities as a place where a creative entrepreneurial spirit influences fashion trends throughout the world. However, the apparel industry is faced with many challenges. The study analyzes apparel manufacturer executives’ responses in relation to work force skills of apparel production managers and LA business trends. The research goal was to provide a general sense of business trends related to the apparel industry. Apparel executives discussed skills and training, education, employee promotion, employee motivation, technology use, employee turnover, strategic goals and perception of the industry’s future. These issues can be valuable to educators to refocus their curriculum to what has been expressed by apparel executives. The findings indicated that educational knowledge needed a blending of many disciplines. The education of future apparel managers need interdisciplinary courses to achieve future success. The findings can assist academicians with apparel curriculum development in understanding the interdisciplinary nature of the apparel industry. Introduction In 1999, the Los Angeles apparel industry represented the largest manufacturing employer in Los Angeles County and was the nation’s largest apparel manufacturing center (LA’s Business Team, 1999). In 1999, LA County had 4300 apparel firms that employed 130,000 people (LA Economic Development Corporation [LAEDC], 2000).

Mark Werts, cofounder and chief executive officer of the retail chain, which has been an important part of the Los Angeles scene since the 1980s, is planning in September to open a 9,300-square-foot emporium in The Dubai Mall in the United Arab Emirates with other locations in the Persian Gulf to follow in places including Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Also on his retail roadmap are proposals to open stores in India and China. Meanwhile, he is reorganizing his Japanese operations, which means closing his last five stores, where once there were 17. That leaves room to open a Tokyo em- porium sometime in 2019 while American Rag’s Japanese e-commerce operations will continue. The overseas growth is taking place while American Rag’s domestic stores are scaling back. The company’s 12,500-square-foot store in the Fashion Island mall in New- port Beach, Calif., closed in January after a 12-year run, and ➥ American Rag page 9 Upcycle Stands Up for Sustainable Manufacturing By Dorothy Crouch Associate Editor After 16 years at American Apparel, Tabitha Vogelsong and John Chung were on a mission to create a responsible apparel brand.

Branding Guilt: American Apparel Inc. and Latina Labor in Los Angeles Hannah Noel Miami University, Oxford, Ohio Abstract: A study of the marketing strategies of the clothing enterprise, American Apparel, how it targets affluent, educated youth through socially conscious tactics, including a focus on pro-immigrant rights and Los Angeles-made, “sweatshop-free” advertising. The essay analyzes the ideologies and stances behind marketing materials that often contain images of Latinas/os as laborers, and white (European origin) population as consumers, and examines how U.S.-based ethical capitalism operates as a neoliberal form of social regulation to champion personal responsibility and individual freedom, in often hidden and inferentially racist and classist ways.

  • In Apparel Industry, Advantages of Made in U.S.A. Label Wear Thin By: Tiffany Hsu
    CALIFORNIA FASHION ASSOCIATION 444 South Flower Street, 37th Floor ∙ Los Angeles, CA 90071 ∙ph. 213.688.6288 ∙fax 213.688.6290 Email: [email protected] Website: www.californiafashionassociation.org AS SEEN IN LATIMES June 12, 2013 In apparel industry, advantages of Made in U.S.A. label wear thin By: Tiffany Hsu The deadly garment factory collapse in Bangladesh reinforced the decision of some L.A. clothing lines to keep production local, but many challenges remain. Patriotism isn't easy. Just ask L.A.'s garment makers.

Sometimes, the same amount of money Venley shells out for locally made fabric gets Wal-Mart Stores Inc. an entire outfit sewed abroad. But in light of the substandard conditions at a Bangladesh garment factory that collapsed in April, killing more than 1,000 workers, the idea of using overseas labor makes Ventura's "blood boil." "The social benefits of staying local have come to the forefront for us," the 26-year-old entrepreneur said.
