  • Enhancing the In-Store Experience
    Enhancing the in-store experience for female customers of Tommy Hilfiger Achieving more together Foreword The ‘Anton Dreesmann Leerstoel voor Retailmarketing’ Foundation - supported by a group of leading retailers in the Netherlands - has chosen Rabobank as its partner to host and co-organise its annual congress. The partnership started in 2011 and we have prolonged this successful collaboration until at least 2020. We appreciate the opportunity to share our knowledge and views on retail with key players and other stakeholders in the sector. The January 2017 congress, ‘Retailing Beyond Borders – Working on Transition’ took place in the Duisenberg Auditorium in Utrecht. During this congress the ‘Rabobank Anton Dreesmann Thesis Award´ was granted to Samira Darkaoui for her thesis entitled ‘Enhancing the in-store experience for female customers of Tommy Hilfiger´. Part of this award is the publication of the thesis as a book. The result of which is now in front of you. Capturing and embedding knowledge is important, both for Rabobank as a knowledge-driven financial organisation and for retailers. We therefore support the initiatives of the Foundation to combine scholarly knowledge with retail practice. The ´Rabobank Anton Dreesmann Thesis Award´ is one of these initiatives. The thesis of Samira Darkaoui, who graduated from the Delft University of Technology, discusses an actual and interesting case at Tommy Hilfiger, the well-known fashion player. The problem for Tommy Hilfiger is the lack of connection that women have with the brand. In order to address this issue, a systematic approach is followed. A wide number of topics is taken into account including brand identity, store interior and (female) consumer behaviour in order to understand the complete shopping experience.

  • Retail Product Merchandising: Retail Buying-Selling Cycle
    Retail Product Merchandising: Retail Buying-Selling Cycle SECTION 2: Establishing the Retail Merchandise Mix Part 1: The Basics of the Retail Merchandise Mix Part 1: 1-2 Industry Zones in the Apparel Industry Fashion products, especially in the women’s wear industry, are categorized by the industry zone in which they are produced and marketed. Industry has designated these zones as a) Haute Couture or couture, b) designer, c) bridge, d) contemporary, e) better, f) moderate, g) popular price/budget/mass, and g) discount/off price. Often the industry emphasizes the wholesale costs or price points of the merchandise in order to define the zone. However, price alone is not the major factor impacting the placement of the merchandise in the zone. Major factors impacting the zone classifications include the following criteria: . fashion level of the design (i.e., degree of design innovation inherent or intrinsic to the merchandise) . type and name of designer creating and developing the design concept . wholesale cost and retail price of product . types and quality of fibers and fineness of fabrications, trims, and findings . standards of construction quality or workmanship quality. In summary, the classification of a zone is based on the type of designer creating the product, design level of the product, type and quality of fabrications, standards of the workmanship, and the price range of the merchandise. Therefore, depending upon the lifestyle of the target consumer, the fashion taste level of that consumer (i.e., position of product on the fashion curve), and the current fashion trend direction in the market, the retailer, when procuring the merchandise mix, selects the industry zone(s) which offer(s) the product characteristics most desired by the target consumer.

  • HISTORY and DEVELOPMENT of FASHION Phyllis G
    HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF FASHION Phyllis G. Tortora DOI: 10.2752/BEWDF/EDch10020a Abstract Although the nouns dress and fashion are often used interchangeably, scholars usually define them much more precisely. Based on the definition developed by researchers Joanne Eicher and Mary Ellen Roach Higgins, dress should encompass anything individuals do to modify, add to, enclose, or supplement the body. In some respects dress refers to material things or ways of treating material things, whereas fashion is a social phenomenon. This study, until the late twentieth century, has been undertaken in countries identified as “the West.” As early as the sixteenth century, publishers printed books depicting dress in different parts of the world. Books on historic European and folk dress appeared in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. By the twentieth century the disciplines of psychology, sociology, anthropology, and some branches of art history began examining dress from their perspectives. The earliest writings about fashion consumption propose the “ trickle-down” theory, taken to explain why fashions change and how markets are created. Fashions, in this view, begin with an elite class adopting styles that are emulated by the less affluent. Western styles from the early Middle Ages seem to support this. Exceptions include Marie Antoinette’s romanticized shepherdess costumes. But any review of popular late-twentieth-century styles also find examples of the “bubbling up” process, such as inner-city African American youth styles. Today, despite the globalization of fashion, Western and non-Western fashion designers incorporate elements of the dress of other cultures into their work. An essential first step in undertaking to trace the history and development of fashion is the clarification and differentiation of terms.

  • The Mini Skirt Danielle Hueston New York City College of Technology Textiles
    The Mini Skirt Danielle Hueston New York City College of Technology Textiles When I was six my mother and I took one of our weekly day shopping trips to the mall. On our way back we stopped at this local thrift store. This being one of the first times I had ever experienced one, everything seemed so different and weird, in a good way. I wasn’t used to there only being one of everything, or one store that sold clothes, books, toys, home decor and shoes.Walking down the ‘bottoms aisle’ is where I first came across it. It was black and flowy, probably a cotton material, with a black elastic band around the waist. I wanted it, I needed it. It was the perfect mini skirt. It reminded me of the one I saw Regina George wear in the Hallway Scene in the movie ‘Mean Girls’ a few months prior and had to get it, even though it was a “little” big. There was only one, I was going to make it work. When Monday came I wasted no time showing off my new skirt at school. It made me feel like a whole new person. At some point of the day however my teacher had stepped out of the room to talk to another teacher, in conjunction one of my classmates playfully grabbed my pencil out of my hand, to which I decided to chase him around the room to retrieve it back. I tripped and my skirt fell right to my ankles, in front of the entire class.

  • The Shape of Women: Corsets, Crinolines & Bustles
    The Shape of Women: Corsets, Crinolines & Bustles – c. 1790-1900 1790-1809 – Neoclassicism In the late 18th century, the latest fashions were influenced by the Rococo and Neo-classical tastes of the French royal courts. Elaborate striped silk gowns gave way to plain white ones made from printed cotton, calico or muslin. The dresses were typically high-waisted (empire line) narrow tubular shifts, unboned and unfitted, but their minimalist style and tight silhouette would have made them extremely unforgiving! Underneath these dresses, the wearer would have worn a cotton shift, under-slip and half-stays (similar to a corset) stiffened with strips of whalebone to support the bust, but it would have been impossible for them to have worn the multiple layers of foundation garments that they had done previously. (Left) Fashion plate showing the neoclassical style of dresses popular in the late 18th century (Right) a similar style ball- gown in the museum’s collections, reputedly worn at the Duchess of Richmond’s ball (1815) There was public outcry about these “naked fashions,” but by modern standards, the quantity of underclothes worn was far from alarming. What was so shocking to the Regency sense of prudery was the novelty of a dress made of such transparent material as to allow a “liberal revelation of the human shape” compared to what had gone before, when the aim had been to conceal the figure. Women adopted split-leg drawers, which had previously been the preserve of men, and subsequently pantalettes (pantaloons), where the lower section of the leg was intended to be seen, which was deemed even more shocking! On a practical note, wearing a short sleeved thin muslin shift dress in the cold British climate would have been far from ideal, which gave way to a growing trend for wearing stoles, capes and pelisses to provide additional warmth.

Hamlet: In this 2007 production of Hamlet, the costumes were made from silk and wool fabrics in the shades of pale grey. In contrast, the main character, Hamlet, wore both a black and a scarlet suede doublet and breeches. The ladies were dressed in long sumptous gowns with corsets and padded petticoats.

    Shooting the Movement: Black Panther Party Photography and African American Protest Tr a di ti o n s T.N. P h u Abstract: Although the failure of the Black Panther Party has often been attributed to the violence which consumed it, the photographic record suggests otherwise. This paper argues that the movement in fact developed a striking and self-aware protest aesthetic. Moreover, this still influential self-referential visuality emphasized the spectacular forms of defiance, contributing, in doing so, to African American traditions of protest conventionally rooted in the oral tradition. A focus on Black Panther Party photography helps account for how the rhetorical violence which focused the BPP’s protest aesthetic became complexly indistinguishable from violent realization. Keywords: African American photography, American studies, cultural studies, visual culture, race Re´sume´ : Bien que l’e´chec du parti des Panthe`res Noires ait souvent e´te´ attribue´ a` la violence qui l’embrasait, les dossiers photographiques laissent penser le contraire. Selon le pre´sent article, le mouvement a en fait de´veloppe´ un caracte`re d’autoprotestation frappant en matie`re d’esthe´tique. En outre, ce phe´nome`ne de perception autore´fe´rentiel qui conserve toujours son influence a mis l’accent sur des formes spectaculaires de de´fi et a ainsi contribue´ aux traditionnelles protestations afro-ame´ricaines classiquement enracine´es dans la tradition orale. L’accent mis sur la photographie du parti des Panthe`res Noires permet de constater comment la rhe´torique violente sur laquelle s’est polarise´ ce parti est devenue complexe et impossible a` distinguer de la re´alisation violente.

  • Yves Saint Laurent: the Perfection of Style: Educator Resource Guide
    EDUCATOR RESOURCE GUIDE OVERVIEW ABOUT THE EXHIBITION Organized by the Seattle Art Museum in partnership with the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent, Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style highlights the legendary fashion designer’s 44-year career. Known for his haute couture designs, Yves Saint Laurent’s creative process included directing a team of designers working to create his vision of each garment. He would often begin by sketching the clothing he imagined, then a team would work to sew and create his designs. After the first version of the garment was created with simple fabric called muslin, Saint Laurent would select the final fabric for the garment. Under Saint Laurent’s direction, his team would piece the garment together—first on amannequin , next on a model. Working collaboratively, the team made changes according to Saint Laurent’s decisions, sewing new parts before the final garment was finished. Taking inspiration from changes in society around him, Saint Laurent adapted his designs over the years. Starting his career designing custom-made clothing worn by upper-class women, he shifted his focus to create clothing that more people would want to wear and could afford. He responded to contemporary changes of the time and pushed gender, class, and expressive boundaries of fashion. He created innovative, glamorous pantsuits for women, ready-to-wear clothing for the wider population, and high fashion inspired by what he saw young people wearing on the street. In 1971 Yves Saint Laurent summed this up with one sentence, “What I want to do is shock people, force them to think.” The exhibition features over 100 haute couture and ready-to-wear garments.
