The traditional gifts of yesteryear had a practicality to them; less choice and a lower budget perhaps, Cbut there was a charming simplicity about choosing what to buy. Hand-knitted socks were top of the list, a new set of braces and shaving soap for the men, a Hotspur annual for the boys and a boxed manicure set and a new hair ribbon for the girls. Perhaps a tiny bottle of Evening in Paris or Californian Poppy for that special lady… and always an orange. So maybe lingerie-buying started when times got better and socks evolved into Nylons. Men realised they were on to a good thing; buy your lady something a little more alluring and even if you get the sizing all wrong she’ll be immensely flattered even by something totally unsuitable and usually out of character. But it can so easily go wrong. Make the wrong choice and it sours the whole day. There’s a fine line between sexy and smutty – don’t cross it! Even buying the lingerie gift can be traumatic in itself and the stuff of many a comedy routine. We ladies are confused enough about the differences in style effects these days – is it Balconette or Balcony? The padded Plunge versus the Push-up? Underwired or strapless or squashed into a sports bra? So if men think they’d like to Mud grey chiffon and tulle camisole ‘have a go’ at choosing for us then good ad hipster pant £30 in sizes 32-40 luck to them and thank goodness for stores under a gathered sleeve short wrap, trimmed with pink satin bow having the gumption to provide easy £33 in sizes 32-40 from the Sweet returns policies.

We examine this hypothesis by focusing on the textile and apparel industries in Southeast Asian countries, especially the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand. We found that there are two different kinds of value chains in these industries. In one, the lead firms are engaged in chemical fiber production, and, in the other, the lead firms are engaged in fast fashion retailing. The former is a producer-driven chain and the latter is a buyer-driven chain. In Southeast Asian countries today, we find these two different chains. Japanese chemical fiber producers during the 1960s and 1970s represented the former case, and today this type is found among Indian chemical fiber producers such as Reliance Industries, the Indorama group, and the Aditya Birla group.

Introducing* Fiz, a new kind of subscription-based design software from SHIMA SEIKI. Carrying over proven functions from our benchmark SDS-ONE APEX series, those strengths are now enhanced with the added ver- satility to adapt to different working styles of the “new normal” including teleworking and telecommuting. Fiz software supports the creative side of fashion from planning and design all the way to 3D virtual sam- pling. With Fiz, virtual sampling becomes a communica- tion tool that not only accurately represents the prod- uct, but digitally bridges the gap between the studio and the factory as well. Faithful reproduction of the original design avoids unnecessary sampling and advo- cates sustainability through digital transformation. “Fiz” is based on the “fizz” of carbonation. It repre- sents energy, excitement, vitality and spirit—just what today’s fashion industry needs. As the name of SHIMA SEIKI’s new design software, Fiz symbolizes inspiration for creativity as it bubbles up like a well-spring and makes your designs sparkle!
