Dov Charney is more determined than ever to make his second stab at ap- parel manufacturing more successful than the first. Charney, who was fired at the end of 2014 from his American Apparel clothing company, is still stinging by the ouster and the loss of the company he founded. But he is determined to move forward and prove that you can manufacture clothing in Los Angeles, pay a fair wage and make money. “We are going to take over and be an important force in the apparel industry,” he said, speaking Feb. 2 at a creative services and artist-oriented event organized by Le Book at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, Calif.

  • 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.
