One of the most impor- T tant events on the diplomatic scene in recent weeks has been the arrival of the new British High Commissioner [Designate] to Malaysia, HE Victoria [Vicki] Treadell, CMG, MVO. Since taking up her post in mid- October, she has been meeting with key stakeholders in the business community including of course BMCC [Page 14]. I am delighted to report that following a briefi ng with Andrew Sill, Nik Tasha and myself, Vicki has graciously agreed to become our Patron, following in the footsteps of Simon. We look forward to continuing the close relationship that has been established with the High Commission in recent years and to working with her as part of our business network. As the delivery partner of the UK’s Overseas Business Network Initiative, we are currently working towards accreditation through the British Chambers Of Commerce (BCC) in the UK. Being accredited will represent a hallmark of the quality we can deliver and serve as an indicator to companies that we are the go-to organisation for anyone looking to do business in Malaysia. It will also help raise our profi le signifi cantly alongside our sister chambers in the international arena. The accreditation assessment, which includes an evaluation of our business processes and interviews with our Executive team and Board Directors, is almost complete and we hope to report the outcome in due course. Our events calendar has seen a fl urry of activity recently and included the special delegation visit to Sarawak where we met with senior representatives of the public and private sectors [Page 10]. These visits are an important part of our network expansion as we reach out into business communities outside of the capital. Companies looking to cement lasting relationships with Government should consider participation in the 2015 BMCC-JPA Programme which is now open for registration. Another avenue for extending your reach is to become a BMCC sponsor. It is an excellent platform to raise your profi le. If your company would like the exposure that being a BMCC sponsor brings, please get in touch with Nik Tasha. The preparations for an upcoming special VIP trade delegation from Britain are well underway and of course we are putting the fi nishing touches to our grand fi nale event of the year – our Christmas Luncheon! I hope to see you there. In the meantime, from all of us at BMCC, we extend our very best wishes for a prosperous year ahead. We look forward to welcoming you to BMCC – it’s the place for business.

  • Development of Nonwoven Fabrics for Clothing Applications
    e e Sci nce Cheema et al., J Textile Sci Eng 2018, 8:6 til & x e E T n : g DOI 10.4172/2165-8064.1000382 f o i n l e a e n r r i n u g o Journal of Textile Science & Engineering J ISSN: 2165-8064 Research Article Article OpenOpen Access Access Development of Nonwoven Fabrics for Clothing Applications Cheema MS1*, Anand SC1 and Shah TH2 1Institute of Materials Research and Innovation, University of Bolton, Deane Road, Bolton BL3 5AB, United Kingdom 2National Textile University, Pakistan Abstract The apparel fabric manufacturing is a growing sector of the global textile industry and the fabrics used in this market are mainly produced by the conventional methods such as weaving and knitting processes. These methods of making apparel fabrics are length and costly. However, because of the advancements in nonwoven technology, nonwoven fabrics are finding a niche market in the clothing industry because of its cost effectiveness and high speeds of nonwoven production processes. We have carried out an extensive study on the development of apparel- like nonwoven fabrics. The resultant fabric showed improved drape, hand, durability and thermophysiological comfort characteristics than the reference samples for apparel applications. Results of the study also showed that the developed nonwoven fabrics showed nearly 200% higher tensile strength than the reference nonwoven fabrics. Furthermore, it also showed improved air permeability, for example, the resultant nonwoven fabric exhibited 500% higher air permeability value as compared with the Evolon fabric at 100 Pa pressure. Thus the results of the study indicate that the resultant nonwoven fabrics may be used in a wide range of apparel applications, which can lead to additional benefits in terms of cost and time.

What a Week It Was: Consolidation Seen As Retail Stocks Reel By Evan Clark Chaos in the credit and equity markets has put a hold on consolidation activity in the fashion industry for the time being, but the hiatus might not last long. Ultralow stock prices, tight credit markets and weakening consumer demand could eventually lead to a new round of consolidation among buyers and sellers, and ultimately an even smaller fashion industry where the number of corporate players shrinks further and the big get even bigger. If fashion is going to go on a renewed consolidation kick, though, it will have to wait until the stock markets calm.

  • 10 Top Takeaways from Magic 2017
    August 17, 2017 10 Top Takeaways from Magic 2017 The FGRT team attended the Magic conference in Las Vegas on August 14–16 this week. The event covers the men’s, women’s and children’s apparel, accessories and footwear markets. There was a lot of positive energy about the transformative changes taking place in retail. Many of the sessions were geared towards new brands, providing roadmaps and how-to guides on navigating through the fashion space, and emphasized providing a unique and differentiated product offering. The resounding theme we heard throughout the conference is that getting products to customers faster is imperative, and the current fashion cycle is out of date. Retail is not dead; it is just different! Here, we share our 10 top takeaways from the three days. 1) Retail isn’t dead, it’s just very different! 2) Sourcing is strategic and requires collaboration and innovation, now more than ever. 3) Data from social media can help retailers make better and faster decisions, including trend and inventory forecasting. 4) Fit is critical in apparel sales, even more important than fashion or style. 5) Robots, over time, can be taught to manufacture apparel, and domestic production can be made economical using lean manufacturing and management. 6) Fashion is seasonless and more casual, creating opportunities for fashion innovation. 7) The product development cycle must be shortened in order to remain competitive. 8) China is no longer a one-stop shop for sourcing; things are more complicated now. 9) The go-to sourcing destination: Vietnam continues to lure US firms.
