Following a series of special economic reforms in the 1980’s, it was the French luxury brands (with the exception of Italian Ermenegildo Zegna) of Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior and more recently Lancôme, who were the first European luxury fashion brands to invest heavily in China. Thereafter and through the early 1990s, industrially produced made-in-Italy fashion brands like Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Versace and Bulgari began to provide made in Italy, made-to-measure, high quality products to the Chinese public mainly in Hong Kong and Beijing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a much stronger edge in design capability and brand marketing, foreign brands have dominated in China’s high-end fashion scene. Today, leading luxury groups such as LVMH Group, Richemont, PPR Group and Prada have a major presence in the country. Also, thanks to the increase in Chinese travel abroad, Chinese luxury consumers favor brands that can easily be recognized. Other superbrands such as Cartier, Hermes and Gucci, as well as German automotive brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW also have a stronghold.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Wealthy consumers worldwide seek to pursue brands that represent status and allow them to be recognized as belonging to a certain modern, elite community. They want to experience the high quality of products, to stand out from the crowd and reward themselves, whether they come from a “developed” market like Japan and the United States or a “developing market” like China. Opportunities clearly exist for luxury brands in the booming Chinese consumer market. According to &lt;a href="http://www.hurun.net/usen/Default.aspx"&gt;Hurun Research&lt;/a&gt;, traditional, male, high net worth individuals (HNWI) primarily live in the coastal regions and top Tier 1 cities of Beijing, Guangdong and Shanghai, which are home to 40% of China’s millionaires. According to &lt;a href="http://www.mckinsey.com/locations/greaterchina/InsightsChina_LuxuryGoods.pdf"&gt;McKinsey&lt;/a&gt; these wealthy consumers living in the three largest cities, tend to have more conservative attitudes toward saving and are more focused on family than their peers in smaller cities. Less surprisingly, they are more trusting of foreign brands like Bulgari, Giorgio Armani, Hermes and Dior.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Global luxury fashion brands (&lt;a href="http://www.armani.com/it/giorgioarmani#"&gt;Giorgio Armani&lt;/a&gt;, Louis Vuitton, &lt;a href="http://www.prada.com/"&gt;Prada&lt;/a&gt;) and specialty niche accessory players (Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu, &lt;a href="http://ferragamo.com"&gt;Salvatore Ferragamo&lt;/a&gt;) react quickly to this environment with new product offerings, original advertising campagigns and glocal retail store formats. The 2008 international financial crisis and subsequent decrease in worldwide retail sales forced all brands to sharpen their strategies to better serve their customers. Consequently, luxury brands are now paying closer attention to their heritage and brand dna’s, while more efficiently directing investments that coherently streamline both online and offline retail sales experiences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many mass market brands (Adidas, Nokia) want to improve offerings with more innovative products targeting higher end consumers (especially since most have not decreased their post-crisis buying powers). But aside from expecting superior quality, design, craftsmanship and durability, modern luxury consumers are seeking more substance over style. These consumers seek something more meaningful than just an expensive item:  he/she desires brands that live and breathe their values through the way they do business. A new set of more sophisticated and knowledgeable (or scrutinous) consumption patterns is emerging, permitting brands that truly represent more genuine or “special” values to substantiate higher price points.  Modern, luxury consumers also have a stronger taste in product design and aesthetics, travel internationally and trust the opinion of flagship stores, official brand websites, their friends or magazines for pre-purchase information. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Generational shifts (for example, the new rich in developing markets like China and Brazil, or ageing consumers in developed markets like Europe and US) are rewriting the rules of how brands market to geographical areas. The Baby-boomer generation is retiring and ready to spend savings, while Generation Z (always connected) has specific shopping experience or &lt;i&gt;retail-tainment &lt;/i&gt;needs to be met. This increased &lt;b&gt;power of the modern consumer&lt;/b&gt; in selecting or cancelling this or that brand from their portfolio is forcing luxury players to be more nimble in their merchandise selection and enhance customer experiences offered to a diverse consumer base. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Online marketing or ecommerce business is an increasingly fundamental opportunity for brand web sites to exceed exclusivity experiences and features inside their flagship stores. Luxury brands are quickly realizing how all generations of consumers are spending more time (and money) while gathering information via the internet. Personalized online marketing campaigns and exclusive offerings are able to convey a high-end, luxury experience for the sophisticated, modern consumer.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to their tradition, experience and tailor-made approach to the mainland China market, my benchmarks of success are &lt;a href="http://www.emporioarmani.cn/"&gt;Giorgio Armani&lt;/a&gt; (new Emporio Armani online store in China) and &lt;a href="http://store.zegna.com/"&gt;Ermenegildo Zegna&lt;/a&gt; (20 year anniversary in China commemorative watch).

Traditional Chinese consumers are proud to discretely show off their wealth and international savvy while demonstrating an acquired taste for quality and craftsmanship. At the same time, and compared to western standards, an increasing number of younger, wealthy individuals are capable of evaluating information and acquiring well-positioned, authentic luxury brands coming from Europe and the USA. Famous Western brands like &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.louisvuitton.com/"&gt;Louis Vuitton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.dior.com/"&gt;Dior&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.ferragamo.com/"&gt;Salvatore Ferragamo &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.tomford.com/"&gt;Tom Ford &lt;/a&gt;are attracting many Asians because they have an international profile, giving the consumer an image of modernity and success.

The fortunate few with the arm strength (and wallet power) to open the heavy iron doors of old world luxury stores have the desire to allow authentic, european fashion brands to succeed here. The &lt;em&gt;nouveau riche &lt;/em&gt;core luxury targets, in general, are much younger (30-45 years old) and willing to pay upwards of 30-40% local price premiums compared to European standards. Interestingly, at the &lt;a href="http://culture.chanel.com/?WT.mc_id=culturechanel_moca&amp;WT.mc_t=cooperation"&gt;Culture Chanel &lt;/a&gt;exhibition at MoCa, the aspirers wishing to enter the world of luxury brands were on average between 20 and 30 years old. The key now is for newly entering brands to make "explosive" entries also into secondary inner cities, while established brands find it challenging to maintain european standards of service at retail stores. But they will eventually get there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Casual and youth fashion stores like &lt;a href="http://novome.novoretail.com.cn/index.asp"&gt;Novo Me &lt;/a&gt;also remain open until 10pm allowing hard working people to still make purchases after work. &lt;br /&gt;In preparation for any trip to China I highly recommend &lt;a href="http://www.rubbettino.it/rubbettino/public/dettaglioLibro_re.jsp?ID=3324"&gt;Investire in Cina &lt;/a&gt;(in Italian) for a simple and thorough read into the history, culture and business customs of modern China. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the most emblematic &lt;em&gt;chinese moment &lt;/em&gt;presented itself to me when a young child enthousiastically ran up to me in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Square_(Shanghai)"&gt;People's Square Park&lt;/a&gt;. He was part of a special course in foreign language studies and in his best english asked me where i was from, what was my name and if i would exchange my personal card with him.

La fiera del settore moda in scena tra il 9 e l’11 marzo a Shanghai. Organizzata dal gruppo Novo si presenta infatti come un’occasione di business rivolta ai marchi internazionali che intendono sviluppare rapporti commerciali con buyer, distributori e franchisee cinesi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Novo Mania sta creando una piattaforma di business davvero efficace – afferma l'organizzatore - Il progetto è quello di offrire alle regioni cinesi più ricche e in crescita maggiori possibilità di scelta, così da soddisfare la richiesta sempre più massiccia di prodotti con un appeal forte per i consumatori”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Novo Mania ha aperto i battenti lo scorso anno presso lo Shanghai Mart con la sua prima edizione, che ha da subito avuto un successo di presenze con 73 espositori, oltre 100 marchi e più di 200 catene internazionali di department store. L’edizione 2011 conserverà il layout diviso in settori, ovvero &lt;strong&gt;denim, fashion &amp; chic e street &amp; sport&lt;/strong&gt;, cui si aggiungerà il settore &lt;strong&gt;retail property showcase &lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gli espositori di questa edizione sono più che raddoppiati. Salgono infatti a quota 150 i brand internazionali presenti, tra i quali G-star, CK Jeans, Gas, Replay e il colosso dell’abbigliamento VF Group, che comprende tra gli altri Vans, Wrangler, Lee e The North Face. Sono poi attesi oltre 5000 visitatori tra buyer, distributori e rappresentanti degli shopping center dell’ex Celeste Impero.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Fashion Branding 3.0, realizzato con il contributo coordinato di specialisti di eccellenza nelle diverse discipline manageriali e corredato da una serie di esperienze sul campo, prende in esame il fenomeno della multicanalità da vari punti di osservazione con lo sguardo rivolto verso il futuro: dall’evoluzione delle strategie di retail, ai temi del e-business (e-commerce, infocommerce, m-commerce, logistica e supply chain), all’utilizzo degli strumenti di brand management 2.0 e dei social media, al ruolo del concept store design.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un testo per manager d’impresa, imprenditori, addetti del settore moda e per chi voglia un approccio esaustivo al tema della multicanalità.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Tutto questo viene customizzato in base alle preferenze di ogni singolo visitatore. Sembra una fantasia, ma questo mondo esiste veramente in rete e si chiama &lt;a href="http://www.firstluxe.com/"&gt;FirstLuxe.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creato nel Giugno 2006 e con sede a Parigi, FirstLuxe.com comunica agli internauti (in francese, inglese e russo) la tradizione, la qualità e le novità dei più prestigiosi marchi nella moda uomo/donna, bellezza, design, tecnologia, art de vivre, gioielleria, orologi, auto/nautica, hotel/viaggi, bambino e golf nel mondo, 12 mondi complessivamente. È un portale internet B2C che facilita la conoscenza, la selezione e l´acquisto di prodotti tramite articoli, immagini, video, newsletter, eventi e lanci di prodotto. In soli 4 anni il sito è diventato leader di mercato con oltre 1,2 milioni di visitatori unici al mese e 800.000 utenti registrati che ricevono settimanalmente le ultime news del lusso. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gli utenti, ad alto reddito e provenienti dalla Francia (47% Area Parigi, 23% resto Francia-Belgio-Lussemburgo), l’Europa dell’Est (22%, include i possessori della carta di credito MasterCard Premium Russia (Gold, Platinum, Signia) e il resto del Mondo (8%), vengono così direttamente indirizzati  nei negozi delle principali griffe internazionali, oppure serviti con fiducia e sicurezza tramite FirstLuxe Avenue, ad un acquisto diretto online (prezzo al pubblico attualmente in pratica nelle flagship store delle griffes).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In base alle più recenti indagini, i consumatori si rivolgono sempre di più al canale Internet per informarsi ed essere aiutati nell’effettuare decisioni d’acquisto. Il mondo del lusso non fa eccezione e 44% dei navigatori ad alto reddito considera l’Internet come la fonte pubblicitaria più autorevole. I marchi più innovativi ed attenti all’evoluzione delle culture e le tecnologie sono stati veloci nel capire questo fenomeno. FirstLuxe vuole essere una leva di marketing fondamentale per questo settore in rapida espansione, fornendo la chiave d’accesso tra i siti internet dei marchi e i principali motori di ricerca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FirstLuxe è anche co-organizzatore, con l’autorevole rivista di marketing francese Strategies, del prestigioso &lt;a href="http://www.strategies.fr/grands-prix/223/grand-prix-strategies-du-luxe-2010/"&gt;Grand Prix du Luxe&lt;/a&gt;, dove vengono premiate le migliori campagne di comunicazione del lusso internazionale. La quinta edizione si terrà in data 20 Ottobre 2010 a Parigi e le iscrizioni sono già aperti le migliori campagne di marketing digitale, pubblicità, design, editoria, pubbliche relazioni, eventi e marketing operativo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

In riassunto, e in generale, i marchi italiani non sono innovativi (aspettano che si muovino prima i grandi marchi poi copiano), non capiscono il canale internet (quali tecnologie utilizzare e come creare una conversazione con il proprio pubblico), non sanno comunicare a livello mondiale (forse non scrivono bene l'inglese?) e i siti internet sono noiosi per un pubblico che si e' evoluto moltissimo.&lt;br /&gt;Il 2010 sara' veramente l'anno della svolta nel &lt;em&gt;social marketing&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I'm linking an interesting article written by Kathy Horyn of the NYTimes concerning the evolution of social media in the fashion business. In summary, and in general, italian brands are not innovative (they wait first for top brands to move then copy), they don't understand the social side of internet (which tecnologies to use and how to create a conversation with their own consumer), they don't know how to communicate on a global basis (maybe they don't write english very well) and their web sites are stodgy for a consumer who has evolved immensely.&lt;br /&gt;Will 2010 really be the year social marketing makes its mark?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

E in piu', come dovrebbe strutturarsi internamente un'azienda per iniziare un'attivita' di licensing a livello di griffe di moda? Per fare chiarezza sull'argomento abbiamo sentito PierGiorgio Dal Santo, consulente Marketing e Licensing Internazionale (Per leggere l'intero articolo, cliccate sul titolo sopra)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Potrete anche visionare la presentazione in occasione del &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/pdalsanto/pgds-fashion-brand-extension-it"&gt;Licensing Italia Seminar &lt;/a&gt;svoltasi a Milano (Aprile 2009).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Introduzioni a cura di Mario Boselli, Presidente &lt;a href="http://www.cameramoda.it/intro.php"&gt;CNMI&lt;/a&gt;, e Beppe Angiolini, &lt;a href="http://www.camerabuyer.it/ita/"&gt;Camera Nazionale Buyer Italiani&lt;/a&gt;. In ambito salotto intimo, stile Bruno Vespa, i vari relatori hanno ispirato fiducia, un clima di positivita' (malgrado il settore abbia perso 52.600 posti di lavoro), rassicurando ai partecipanti di pensare &lt;em&gt;outside the box&lt;/em&gt;, prendendo una pausa per progettare in una maniera diversa dal passato, fermandosi un attimo per ritrovare se stessi, guardando i processi aziendali da fuori verso dentro, e puntando nel futuro sull'innovazione retail, rapporto prezzo/qualita', formazione del management e la comunicazione diretta con il consumatore finale. &lt;br /&gt;Nota:  Alessandro Negri, Direttore Commerciale Swarovski Internazionale d'Italia, non si e' presentato come relatore alla conferenza. &lt;br /&gt;La conferenza e' stata trasmessa in diretta sul web tramite il sito di &lt;a href="http://www.luxury24.ilsole24ore.com/"&gt;24Luxury.it&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ecco alcune delle principali affermazioni presentati dai relatori del settore lusso:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mario Boselli:  "ognuno faccia la propria parte", "fare un piccolo passo indietro dall'azienda e guardare in maniera diversa verso l'interno (&lt;em&gt;stand still&lt;/em&gt;)"&lt;br /&gt;Beppe Angiolini:  "moda Uomo italiano e' all'avanguardia: look rilassato, concretezza, meno esasperato, etico", "i marchi devono proporre un budget, consegne e periodo saldi preciso per avere successo"&lt;br /&gt;Davide Traxler, AD &lt;a href="http://www.chopard.com/#"&gt;Chopard Italia&lt;/a&gt;:  "rivedere i processi aziendali, snellire finanziariamente, mantenere alta la motivazione dei dipendenti, migliorare efficacia del servizio al cliente"&lt;br /&gt;Bruna Casella, VP CNIBM:  "i buyer moda sono alla ricerca di prodotti giusti per il proprio punto vendita, desiderano tornare alle tradizioni dei rapporti con i propri clienti"&lt;br /&gt;Stefano Grassani, Partner Antitrust &lt;a href="http://www.pavia-ansaldo.com/"&gt;Studio Legale Pavia Ansaldo&lt;/a&gt;:  "per un'adeguata copertura antitrust e controllo della distribuzione selettiva, il marchio necessita di un contratto adeguato contro il commercio parallelo"  &lt;br /&gt;Luca Guillot-Boschetti, GM &lt;a href="http://www.lancome.it/_it/_it/index.aspx"&gt;Lancome Italia&lt;/a&gt;: "concetti attuali per la aziende di cosmetica sono di nutrire, trasparenza e dare fiducia al consumatore" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vi segnalo che a partire da martedi 7 luglio 2009, saranno rese disponibili le presentazioni del Luxury Summit al seguente indirizzo web:&lt;br /&gt;www.formazione.ilsole24ore.com/luxury2009.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Ho trovato l'organizzazione eccellente, tra l'altro era gratuito e aperto al pubblico. Mi sono registrato al sito, ai workshop, alla newsletter, ma se devo fare delle osservazioni sono il fatto che mancavano le possibilita' di facilmente informarsi in precedenza sui relatori, sugli argomenti che sarebbero stati presentati, e successivamente le loro presentazioni come approfondimeto. E vero che sono disponibli online una serie di interviste su &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ForumRicercaPadova"&gt;Youtube&lt;/a&gt;, ma vorrei rivedere le presentazioni su SlideShare, commentarli in un blog veramente sostenuto dagli interessati (i giovani...metteteli al lavoro) e possibilmente fare parte di una community proattiva che capisce i concetti (studenti, docenti, manager, formatori), li condivide con altri...online. Avete una newsletter, inviatela, avete un database di email, inviate subito un ringraziamento ai partecipanti. Create un clima aperto e accessibile. Altrimenti sembra un Forum che finisce li, un sito istituzionale e statico, che invece dovrebbe continuare ad evolversi, ad informare nell'era web 2.0. Nota: ho pure trovato l'iniziativa dello &lt;a href="http://padova.smau.it/"&gt;Smau Padova &lt;/a&gt;e i suoi Workshop interessanti e proficui, ma allo stesso modo la community non viene sostenuta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Being a person who wants to update himself on everything that's web 2.0, innovation in the latest corporate methods, group discussion and sharing, for the second straight year I visited the Research and Innovation Forum in Padua, Italy. Organized by the University of Padova, the day focussed on web, tv, video and blogs. It was very well organized, free and open to the public. I registered my email at the web site, signed up for the newsletter and the various workshops. The information was extremely relevant, however, if I can make some negative observations. It wasn't easy to find information on the speakers and the subjects to be discussed beforehand, and afterwards their presentations were not readily available for further discussion. I'd like to re-read the presentations on SlideShare, comment them through an active blog (run by students...put them to work), and be a part of a community (students, professors, managers, trainers) that has a purpose and continues to exist. There's supposedly a newsletter, a database of emails. Send out a thank you note for participation, create an environment that fosters involvement and sharing. Or else the Forum ends there, the concepts and technology presented need to evolve in the web 2.0 era. Note:  I also partcipated in the Smau Padova exhibition and workshops and my reactions are the same. The concept of community is not upheld there either.  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

In poche parole, sempre piu' consumatori utilizzano la rete per informarsi e, in alcuni casi, fare acquisti per prodotti di alto valore contenuto (moda, orologi, viaggi). I marchi del lusso devono quindi includere il canale internet nelle loro strategie di comunicazione per istaurare un rapporto piu' profondo con i propri consumatori. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here's an interesting research study performed by Microsoft Advertising Emea regarding the behaviour of European consumers during the purchase of luxury products online. In other words, more and more consumers utilize the web for gathering information and, in certain cases, to purchase high value added products like fashion, watches and travel. Thus, luxury brands must include a web strategy as part of their overall communication plan in order to develop a closer relationship with their own consumers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Potrete accedervi scorrendo lungo il lato destro di questo sito. &lt;br /&gt;Ieri ho visto l'esposizione dei 40 anni della stilista &lt;a href="http://http://www.lesartsdecoratifs.fr/francais/accueil-292/une-486/francais/mode-et-textile/expositions-70/actuellement-447/sonia-rykiel-exhibition/"&gt;Sonia Rykiel &lt;/a&gt;presso Le Musee des Arts Decoratifs a Parigi. Una bella retrospettiva sulla vita, espressione e carattere della stilista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Just wanted to let you know that I've created a series of Spring Summer 2009 slide shows from the top international fashion brands and their accessories lining the main shopping streets of Paris, Milan and Rome. You can click on them on the right side of this site and see what's new inside stores this season. &lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I saw the Sonia Rykiel exhibition at the Arts Decoratif museum right next to the Louvre. An interesting retrospective commemorating the 40 years of life, expressione and character of the designer. Interesting hearing the 70's and 80's coming back alive through images, sounds and womens fashion shows.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

La creativita' e' la forza principale nel creare opportunita'. Dobbiamo costruire nuovi raggruppamenti economici per sostenere le nuove classi di lavoratori. Le tre T per costruire una societa' creativa sono:  Talento, Tecnologia e Tolleranza (anche la Qualita' del Territorio e' importante). Poche persone nate in paesi stranieri creano aziende di successo nel Veneto. &lt;br /&gt;L'ultimo libro di Richard Florida si chiama &lt;a href="http://creativeclass.com/whos_your_city/overview/"&gt;Who's Your City?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I strongly recommend all creatives and the so-called progressive fashionistas who still might not know Richard Florida, to read, listen, study and admire him. The University of Toronto professor in creativity presented his latest studies in Geographical Economics to the public in Schio, Italy at the Sinv (Sportswear International) company headquarters. &lt;br /&gt;In summary:  the world is looking for new models in order to live better. Creativity is the key driving force in creating opportunities. We need to build new economic clusters to support the new working classes. The three T's to build a creative society are:  Talent, Technology and Tolerance (even the Quality of the Territory is important). Few people that were born in foreign countries create successful companies in the Veneto region.&lt;br /&gt;Richard Florida's latest book is called &lt;a href="http://creativeclass.com/whos_your_city/overview/"&gt;Who's Your City?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Romano Cappellari, professore universitario a Padova e presso la &lt;a href="http://cuoa.it"&gt;Fondazione CUOA &lt;/a&gt;di Vicenza, svela e galvanizza il mondo del cosiddetto "lusso accessibile", ponendo l'esclamativo sull'evoluzione del consumatore odierno e come le aziende possano proporre nuovi prodotti e &lt;em&gt;communication mix&lt;/em&gt; per aggiudicarselo.&lt;br /&gt;Ed e' proprio davanti alle nuove generazioni che Cappellari regala fiducia e positività verso il futuro, contemplando in maniera dettagliata il difficile connubio tra manager e stilista, i cambiamenti nei consumi, mutamenti negli stili di vita e della nuova distribuzione (&lt;em&gt;online&lt;/em&gt; e &lt;em&gt;offline&lt;/em&gt;). &lt;br /&gt;Utilizzando esempi pratici sia dal punto di vista Europeo (più tradizionale e creativo) che Statunitense (spesso innovatore nell'approccio &lt;em&gt;marketing-oriented&lt;/em&gt;), il lettore si ritrova facilmente nel marketing teorico, ma rafforzato con dettagli concreti e contemporanei, spesso non dichiarati pubblicamente dalle aziende stesse.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://pgdalsanto.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
