AMATO-MCCOY Apparel congratulates its 2014 Innovators for their moxie, creativity and good old- fashioned elbow grease — because, let’s face it, turning innovation into reality means getting your hands dirty! This year’s award winners moved the industry forward in a host of truly unique ways. It’s all here: From a hoodie that doubles as a drink holder to yoga pants that address the challenge of a leaky bladder, from the power of an 18-year-old social media trendsetter to making inventory available across channels. With fast-paced advances in technology of all types, there’s never been a better time to push the limits of innovation. 8 MAY 2014 • www.apparelmag.com O’Neill Clothing (part of LaJolla Group) Irvine, Calif. | www.oneillclothing .com NOMINATED BY: Reflektion | www.reflektion.com t’s now a global beach lifestyle apparel company, but O’Neill of the increased relevance of the custom merchandised assort- IClothing hasn’t forgotten its small-store roots, which began ment, says Neukomm. in 1952 when Jack O’Neill first glued together pieces of neo- Results?

The process has been somewhat unnerving, as there seems to be more unknowns than knowns. Even more disconcerting is the fact that it’s not obvious if the un- UPDATES ON knowns will eventually play out to the betterment or detriment of the Canadian apparel industry. The Children’s Place implications of the unknowns for the apparel industry vary from minimal to significant. FGL Sports The 2019 apparel unknowns include: HBC—DSG Will retail apparel sales during 2018 exceed the 1.4% increase in 2017 sales. Through the first lululemon half of 2018, apparel sales increased 1.9%. For the year Trendex is forecasting that apparel Marks sales could increase in the range of 2.1%-2.5%. Moores Will athleisure sales continue to drive the growth of the Canadian apparel markets? Athleisure’s Reitmans (Canada) growth over the past three years has exceeded almost all other apparel segments. Its growth has been driven by increases in athleisure brands and retailers, along with a change in lifestyle.
