The Leverage Aims To Be The Next Global Conglomerate In Menswear - Forbes

Despite how many brands across the fashion spectrum react to the current changes and constraints, it is not a time to take adaptation for granted. What is apparent, is that the obvious challenges leave space to conceive new purpose and meaning in the reality of our time. In a word, a time of transition can also be a time of invention and opportunity. Making positive changes to reflect on the past and react to them as we enter into a fresh trajectory. More profoundly, developing a brand in 2020 and beyond, will most certainly prove to be the survival of the fittest. In reviewing brands today, I try and watch every aspect of their business strategy. Now, more than ever, is time to pull the curtain back and dig deep with research into manufacturing, logistics and operations. For starters, I think that creating a retooled brand community is more than a marketing strategy. In fact, for many emerging designers across the USA, it is necessary with respect to product development —while b...

Ninth Circuit vacates class certification in LuLaRoe sales tax class ... - JD Supra

Image
Takeaway: In Van v. LLR, Inc ., 61 F.4th 1053 (9th Cir. 2023), the Ninth Circuit vacated the district court's grant of class certification and remanded for re-assessment of whether the plaintiff had satisfied the predominance requirement. Although the court rejected challenges to class certification based on standing and the voluntary payment doctrine, it found that individual issues related to defendants' provision of discounts for the purpose of offsetting the allegedly improper sales tax assessment potentially defeated predominance. Plaintiff Katie Van filed a putative class action against Defendants LLR, Inc., and LuLaRoe (collectively, "LuLaRoe") alleging that LuLaRoe over-charged sales tax to Alaskan customers. LuLaRoe, a multi-level marketing company that sold leggings and other women's clothing through independent fashion retailers, used a point-of-sale system that calculated sales tax based on the retailer's location, not the customer's location....

Too good to be true?' As Shein and Temu take off, so does the scrutiny - CNN

Image
Hong Kong/New York CNN  —  Temu and Shein are taking off in the United States, topping app stores and creating a frenzy with consumers. But as the two online shopping platforms become hugely popular, they're also facing questions over a litany of issues, including how they're able to sell goods at such strikingly low prices, how transparent they are with the public and how much environmental waste their businesses generate. Some of those questions aren't unique to the two companies: Longtime fast-fashion producers like Zara or H&M (HNNMY) have faced similar concerns. But in recent weeks, Temu and Shein have also faced greater scrutiny over their ties to China, the country where their businesses originated and where they continue to rely on manufacturers. Shein was started in China, while Temu was ...

These bargain M&S vests are a year-round essential: 'Ideal as an extra layer' - Yahoo Entertainment

Image
Ringing in at just over £3 each, these affordable and versatile vest tops deserve a place in your wardrobe. (Marks & Spencer) Whether you call it a vest, a cami, or even a tank top, there's no doubt that this humble item has become an absolute essential. First popularised for women in the 1970s as a piece of outerwear (worn with bell bottoms or hot pants, for example), the trend for wearing vest tops has never died and still holds its own decades later. Why? Because vest tops are a multi-purpose must-have that can serve a myriad of purposes. You can wear one on its own with summer skirts or shorts, pop one under a blazer for work, wear a vest top to bed with some pyjama bottoms or shorts, or use it under see-through and/or low-cut blouses. And if you're prone to feeling chilly, a vest is a great extra layer to add. And, naturally, Marks & Spencer - a brand that knows a thing or two about wardrobe essentials - has come up trumps with this classic three-pack vest ...

Amazon's Best-Selling Blouse Is the “Perfect Weight” for Spring - InStyle

Image
When it comes to shopping for spring blouses, breathability is my number one criterion. Of course, style is a close second, but there's nothing worse than getting stuck in a sweat-inducing top for hours at a time. So, when I found this Amazon Essentials short-sleeve blouse at the top of the retailer's best-sellers list, I immediately understood why: It's equal parts "flattering" and "breathable," shoppers say, and select shades and sizes start at just $19.  Available in six colors and patterns, the top is made from machine-washable viscose that a reviewer confirmed is "lightweight but not see-through." Plus, it has functional buttons down the front, a split neckline, and a rounded hem with small side slits. The top also has pleated shoulders that subtly conceal your bra straps and prevent them from creating bumps. Amazon Shop now: $19; amazon.com Thanks to its simple shape and flowy material, this blo...
