Tiffany Shareholders Back LVMH Takeover

US jeweller Tiffany & Co’s shareholders on Wednesday approved a $15.8 billion deal with France’s LVMH, ending an acrimonious dispute between the two luxury retailers that had stretched for more than a year.

At a virtual special stockholder meeting, more than 99 perent of votes cast were in favour of the deal.

Billionaire Bernard Arnault-led LVMH made the first offer late last year, but as the luxury industry slipped into a turmoil due to the COVID-19 pandemic the company backed out from its promise to close the deal.

LVMH also cited French political intervention to delay completing the acquisition until Jan. 6, pushing Tiffany into a legal battle in September to force LVMH to honor the deal.

Tiffany had earlier said its sales were improving, citing demand recovery in the United States ahead of the holiday season and China, one of its biggest markets.

LVMH then renegotiated the deal price, lowering it by $425 million. The deal, now cleared by regulators, is expected to close in early 2021.

As agreed in October, LVMH will pay $131.5 per share, down from $135 in the original deal signed late last year

The new owners of JCPenney department stores are searching for a new leader to replace chief executive officer Jill Soltau, who will step down Dec. 31 as the retailer navigates an exit from bankruptcy.

Stanley Shashoua, currently the chief investment officer of Simon Property Group, will become interim CEO of JCPenney effective Jan. 1, according to a statement Wednesday. The ownership group, consisting of Simon and Brookfield Asset Management, will establish a temporary office of the CEO that will include members of JCPenney’s current management team.

The leadership change comes less than a month after the department store chain completed a previously announced sale of the retail operations to its mall landlords. J.C. Penney Co., which filed for bankruptcy in May, said earlier this month that its property company remains in the Chapter 11 process and is expected to emerge in the first half of 2021.

Soltau, who was hired in October 2018, was in the middle of crafting a turnaround plan when the Covid-19 pandemic swept the globe this year and temporarily shuttered many retail stores.

European Union and China Approve Market-Opening Investment Pact

European Union and China Approve Market-Opening Investment Pact

The European Union and China announced the political approval of an agreement to open the Chinese market further to EU investors, marking a major step in talks that began in 2013.

The breakthrough in negotiations on an EU-China investment deal signals the bloc’s determination to focus on economic opportunities in Asia even amid criticism of Beijing’s record on human rights. The accord could enter into force in early 2022.

For the EU, the deal risks irking the incoming US administration, which has urged the Europeans to consult with them over China’s economic practices. Failure by the US and EU to forge a common position would give Beijing an advantage as western leaders reassess geopolitical relations in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidency.

“This agreement is of major economic significance,” the leaders of the bloc’s two main institutions, Charles Michel and Ursula von der Leyen, said in a statement on Wednesday after a video conference with Chinese President Xi Jinping. “China has committed to an unprecedented level of market access for EU investors, giving European businesses certainty and predictability for their operations.”

Market Access

For the 27-nation EU, the pact expands access to the Chinese market for foreign investors in industries ranging from cars to telecommunications. Furthermore, the agreement tackles underlying Chinese policies deemed by Europe and the U.S. to be market-distorting: industrial subsidies, state control of enterprises and forced technology transfers.

For China, the accord bolsters the country’s claim to be a mainstream geopolitical force and may limit risks resulting from a tougher EU stance on Chinese investments in Europe. It also strengthens Beijing’s longstanding call for the start of negotiations on a free-trade pact with the EU, which has insisted on an investment deal first.

China ranked as the EU’s second-largest trade partner in 2019 (behind the US), with two-way goods commerce valued at more than 1 billion euros ($1.2 billion) a day.

The investment deal “demonstrates China’s determination and confidence in advancing a high level of opening to the outside world, and will provide greater market access for China-EU mutual investment, a higher quality business environment, stronger institutional guarantees and brighter cooperation prospects,” Xi said, according to state media.

The announcement on Wednesday represents a high-level political blessing to the investment pact, which will also cover environmental sustainability. Both sides plan to put the finishing touches on it over the coming months.

“A strong agreement would be a powerful statement to show that constructive engagement can produce results,” Joerg Wuttke, president of the EU Chamber of Commerce in China, said in an emailed statement.

Human Rights

Once finalised, the accord will need the approval of the European Parliament, where some voices have expressed objections as a result of alleged human-rights violations in China. The deal includes Chinese pledges on labor standards meant to address such concerns, including in relation to ratification of related United Nations-backed conventions, according to EU officials, who asked not to be identified because of the continuing preparations.

“It’s not a given that the EU Parliament will give its consent,” Reinhard Buetikofer, a German Green member of the assembly, told Bloomberg Television on Tuesday. “We’ll give it a tough scrutiny.”

The incoming US administration has also signaled reservations, at least about the timing of the agreement. Jake Sullivan, national security adviser to President-elect Joe Biden, on Dec. 22 urged “early consultations with our European partners on our common concerns about China’s economic practices.”

The developments highlight global cross-currents after Trump shook the post-war system over the past four years by sidelining the World Trade Organization, starting a tariff war against China and hitting or threatening US allies in Europe with controversial import duties.

When the Trump administration in January 2020 struck a first-phase commercial accord with China that eased their economically damaging fight, the EU criticised the deal as a “managed-trade outcome” that might itself violate WTO rules and merit a legal challenge.

Deal Highlights

Following are some of the Chinese concessions to European investors in the agreement, according to an EU official who spoke on the condition of anonymity:

Chinese market opening: improved access across industries including air-transport services, where joint-venture requirements for computer-reservation systems are being removed, and new opportunities in sectors including clean vehicles, cloud services, financial services and health
Chinese state-owned enterprises: non-discrimination commitment when SOEs are buyers of services
Chinese subsidies: enhanced transparency, notably for services
Chinese forced technology transfers: prohibited

While the accord largely commits the EU to maintain its relative openness to Chinese investors, according to the European official, the deal offers greater access for them to the bloc’s:

energy wholesale and retail markets (but excluding trading platforms)
renewable-energy markets (with a 5% cap at the level of EU countries and a reciprocity mechanism)

THE 10 BEST FASHION PODCASTS TO BINGE DURING THE HOLIDAY BREAK

2020-12-31T15:42:00.003+04:00

Podcasts have grown into one of the biggest new mediums for communication—and naturally, fashion has taken note. This year saw a massive increase in podcast subscriptions and launches, with everyone from legacy publications like Vogue and InStyle to legendary designers and editors leading the charge.

There’s arguably no better source for the most important fashion news and updates—and some juicy gossip!—than the industry’s top leaders and innovators, so why not hear their direct takes whenever you like? It was tough to choose, but here’s our top ten faves to enjoy while at home, walking, or working out. (And realistically, what else are we able to do right now?!)

Ladies First with Laura Brown

InStyle’s first podcast just launched last month, but it’s already become a go-to. In weekly episodes, editor in chief Laura Brown discusses current events, politics, and fashion with various female trailblazers who were the first to accomplish something in their fields. If listening to guests like Emily Ratajkowski, Storm Reid and Michelle Pfeiffer share their thoughts on what’s happening in the world today, as well as their numerous major “firsts”, sounds like something that’s up your street—you’ll love this one.

Fashion No Filter

This is one of the sharpest fashion podcasts out there, and for good reason. Journalists Camille Charriere and Monica Ainley provide an inner glimpse inside the fashion industry, covering subjects from building an Instagram brand to discussing what makes a successful design career. Guest speakers also stop by to provide further insight, from Elizabeth Paton to Bryan Boycom.

Creative Conversations with Suzy Menkes

It was only a matter of time before Vogue threw its’ hat into the podcast ring—and it’s done so with one of the title’s best and brightest: fashion critic Suzy Menkes. In her own words, Menkes leads in-depth interviews with some of fashion’s most prominent pioneers and creatives like Wes Gordon, Marine Serre, and Michael Kors. It’s both candid and analytical, and you’re sure to learn something new every time you hear her latest episode.

Leave Your Mark: The Podcast

After gaining fame from her book of the same name (and her infamous DKNY PR GIRL Twitter account), Aliza Licht created a podcast that furthers her exploration of how to build your personal brand and find career success. Each Sunday, Licht sits down with friends like Nicole Lapin, Stacy London, Robin Givhan, and Kelly Rutherford to discuss topics like entrepreneurship, productivity, and finding your place in professional industries. If you’re in the midst of your career journey and looking for inspiration for your next steps, this is for you!

Corporate Lunch

Each week, GQ‘s style staff—Noah Johnson, Rachel Tashjian, and Samuel Hine—discuss ideas for publication features, their own aesthetics, and brands that are redefining menswear and the fashion industry. We love to tune in to hear their thoughts on topics like personal style, Timothée Chalamet’s outfits, plus interviews with A list guests like Phoebe Bridgers and Ian Bradley.

The Business of Fashion Podcast

As the title suggests, BOF’s namesake podcast breaks down and highlights business perspectives from the fashion industry. Imran Amed and Tim Blanks‘ discussions range from fashion’s relationship with politics to how sleep affects productivity. Cementing its position as a great educational resource, guests like Tory Burch, Remo Ruffini, and Harper’s Bazaar editor in chief Samira Nasr also make appearances to dispel their true insider knowledge.

Dressed: The History of Fashion

Though everyone is unique when it comes to their personal style, we all have one thing in common: every day, we get dressed. This podcast explores the history behind what specific people wear and when—and why they wear it. Rich in topics from Tudor-era fashion to indigenous influences, episodes explore the background and ideology behind how people dress, and special guests like Christian Allaire and Scott Schuman also appear frequently.

Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff

She’s a true superwoman in the fashion world, so it makes sense that designer Rebecca Minkoff began her podcast to explore how successful women are making waves in their industries—and to discover the secrets to their accomplishments. Each episode focuses on topics like self-care and advocating for yourself, in the spirit of showing that even the most powerful female entrepreneurs have overcome relatable challenges to get to where they are today. Listen for one-on-one interviews between Minkoff and inspiring women like Erin Gallagher, Blythe Hill, and Suzanne Lerner.

Circle of Influence

In partnership with consignment site The RealReal, the Council of Fashion Designers of America launched its own podcast, Circle of Influence. Focused on sustainable fashion, episodes tackle topics like race, Gen Z, and environmentalism within the industry. Keep an ear out for guests like Tracy Reese, Jonathan Cohen, and Victor Glemaud for some essential fashion wisdom!

Fashion Victims

Everyone in fashion loves their industry gossip served piping hot, and we’ve been getting our fix from Fashion Victims. This podcast by fashion critics Darnell Jamal and Luke Meagher (who you may know from his YouTube channel, Haute Le Mode) explores the latest happenings in luxury fashion and culture, from costumes on The Crown to Naomi Campbell’s recent Vogue cover. Filled with informative tidbits of wisdom (plus an extra dose of sass), most episodes are about an hour long, but every second is pure fun.

Denim Trends Report for Spring/Summer 2022

2020-12-31T15:34:00.004+04:00

A report on the top denim trends from the digital edition of Kingpins Denim Fair - see a shift towards process over product to investment dressing and a new sense of responsibility for the Spring/Summer 2022 season.

After the success of the digital edition of the Kingpins Denim Fair in April, their most recent edition in Amsterdam also followed suit. One of the key highlights at KP24 Amsterdam emerged to be a presentation on the top denim trends for the Spring / Summer 2022 season, delivered by Amy Laverton of Denim Dudes.

From social influences and a focus on process over product to investment dressing and a new sense of responsibility, the Spring/Summer 2022 denim trends reflect and expand upon the current global social climate.

Below, we expand on the top 4 trend directions set to dictate the course of denim in the season to come.

Work In Progress

Consumers of late have been quite keen on knowing the Behind-the-Scenes processes of the products they consume. The Work in Progress trend is about the idea and inspiration behind the product. According to Leverton, these two points increase the value that consumers place on the final product.

Ways to achieve this goal are many: the process of improving the idea and inspiration behind a product can be done through mixed media with digital and 3D design, and also through techniques such as upcycling or layering.

This trend places emphasis on both the creative production methods, and also on the story behind the product. This includes cultural references, political approaches, and at the same time, also the creative people who relay the story behind a design and especially come to the fore through collaboration.

The trend follows a wide colour palette featuring a variety of influences, and is communicated via strong and playful tones.

Lowkey

This trend delves into the details – it is all about an eye for detail and quality. Design aesthetics tend to be more minimalistic than flashy and busy: It is not the large labels and all-over prints that appeal to the consumer, but rather small details such as a special zipper or the buttons that would accentuate the product.

The quality aspect also relates directly to the production process- where does the material come from and how high is its quality? So manufacturers have to ensure that they are really safe and happy with the product and take time to get this done rather than rushing to get the product on the shelves as soon as possible.

In Leverton’s own words- “As the system of the global apparel industry is changing, we are less concerned with a time frame that puts quantity over quality. […] Responsibility must come first.”

In terms of style, the Lowkey trend revives the era of the ’80s and ’90s: ‘Smart casual’ with jeans and a blazer or a matching ‘two-piece’, but also oversized basics and a wide cut.

What also suits the reserved style is the colour palette, which tilts towards white, beige, brown, but can also show a bit of colour such as red, green and blue.

Devolution

Devolution (contraction of digitisation and evolution) essentially focuses on systematic change. Brands that follow this path, place social responsibility, structural equality, the environment and craftsmanship above consumption and the economic aspect.

The change of our society to a ‘better world’ places itself in the foreground. The health crisis created as a result of the ongoing COVID-19, has given us all, humans and nature, a positive, alternative lifestyle, Leverton stated.

Even in this trend, the background of the product plays an important role: where does the product come from and how is it produced? However, the focus goes beyond sustainable production and is about waste and how much residual production is left behind after producing a design.

All in all, this trend seems to take us back to basics and focus more on the craft art: from upcycling to homemade textures such as batiks, painting or traditional techniques – there are no limits.

Investment

This trend highlights the importance of investing more in a good product.

However, the focus on money should not take the lead. Rather, the aim is to invest in modern technology that makes denim production more circular and sustainable. A sound example of this is ‘Relz Black Denim’ – a sustainable black denim fabric developed by G-Star Raw along with Artistic Milliners and Archroma.

This also includes new possibilities for prints such as laser printing or the use of regenerative fibres.

But product development does not play an essential role in isolation- sales is also important. Options such as resale and rental of clothing become increasingly popular as consumers become more mindful of their purchases.

The colour palette for the Investment trend is very varied – from pastel shades to washed-out colours created by recycling, the trend offers great opportunities for creativity to bloom.

How to Estimate Garment Production?

2020-12-31T15:15:00.001+04:00

The basic requirement for production management and each people who are working in production .

In this post, I have explained the calculation procedure :-

The total number of garments stitched by operators in a line in a day.

also termed as daily output.

How many operators are working in the line?
How many hours line will work in a day?
Average Line efficiency level?
SAM of the garment (Standard allowed minutes)

FORMULA:-

Daily production = (Total man minutes available in a day/SAM) * Average Line efficiency
Total available man-minutes =(Total no. of operators * Working hours in a day * 60)

Garment SAM is 25 minutes,
Number of operators is 60
Shift hours in a day = 8 hours
Average line efficiency =50
Operators get a total of 45 minutes for lunch and tea break.

So, Total available man minutes = 60 *( (8 * 60) – 45) )= 26,100 minutes

Daily estimated production = 26100 /25 * 50% = 522 pieces

The number of operators and working hours. And production is reverse proportional to the garment SAM.

efficiency of a line increases you can expect higher production.

Anyone of the followings can reduce production of the assembly line. So to get estimated output, you have to take on the following areas.

Machine breakdown
(WIP control)
No feeding of cuttings
Quality issues
Low operator performance
Operator absenteeism

version of the only globally recognised, time-cost manufacturing standard for apparel brands and manufacturers.

‘As our industry begins to emerge from the COVID-19 crisis, businesses face unprecedented demand volatility and cost pressure, while consumers are increasingly holding brands to account over sustainability. Responding to these challenges will require greater levels of collaboration between brands and manufacturers, more accurate and transparent costings with a fair allowance for a living wage, and optimised manufacturing methods and costs. I am delighted that the launch of GSDCostⱽ⁵ will play a key role in helping to support brands and manufacturers address these challenges, while also driving sustainable cost-efficiency and speed to market’ said Gary Thompson, Senior Director, Strategic Partnerships and Alliances, Coats Digital.

How to Calculate Thread Consumption for Garments?

2020-12-23T19:01:00.000+04:00

To determine thread consumption you just need to multiply seam length with those factors. This way one can estimate the total thread requirement for making a garment.

Actual thread consumption for a unit length depend Varied:

The Following Factor:

Stitch Classes
Stitches per inches (SPI)
The thickness of the seam (fabric thickness)
Thread count

Step 1: To calculate thread ratio, you need a sewing machine, fabric and sewing thread that will be used for bulk production. For fabric and thread, you can take similar thickness and same thread count in case actual is not available. https://amzn.to/3myEOQ1

Step 2: Sew a seam of 15.5 cms long and take 10 cms seam out of it by trimming 1 cm from both edges.

Step 3: Unravel both needle thread and bobbin thread from the seam. measure its length in cm. Generally, it will be higher than the seam length. Now find the multiplying factor by dividing thread length with seam length. Assume needle thread length is 15.5 cm then needle thread multiplying factor is 15.5/10 or 1.55.

Using this method you can find out consumption factors.

Step 4: Total thread consumption +Add thread wastage 5% for the thread that trims out from each end of the seam.

Amazon fashion launches custom clothing service Made for You

2020-12-22T22:06:00.000+04:00

AMAZON launching a way for customers to create custom clothing with a new service called Made for You, which lets shoppers create a custom T-shirt to their exact measurements. But unlike some companies that use mobile technology to scan and measure your body from an app, Amazon Fashion’s Made for You service requires users to provide the company with their height, weight, body style and two photos of themselves to get measured for their custom fit.

After users provide their data, they can then choose from a selection of eight colorways, as well as preferred sleeve and shirt lengths, necklines and fabrics.

To get started with Made for You, users choose between the two types of fabrics to customize the design. This includes the mediumweight 100% Pima Cotton shirt or the lightweight 56% Pima Cotton, 38% Modal and 6% Elastane tri-blend options. They can then choose other aspects of their shirt — like either a slim, classic or relaxed fit, a crew or V-neck, and short or long-sleeve length, for example.

The shirts can even include your name printed on the label, as a small perk.

When finished, customers can view the product they customized on a virtual body double before placing the order. The experience works both on web and inside the Amazon app.

The custom shirts cost $25 and are available to all Amazon customers in the U.S., not just Prime members.

At launch, influencers including Blake Scott (650K followers on Instagram), Caralyn Mirand (253K Instagram followers) and Sai de Silva (330K Instagram followers) are touting the new feature on Amazon’s behalf and are featured in its marketing.

Custom clothing is often seen as a luxury and this process does make it more affordable. That can be helpful for those who struggle with fit due to measurements that fall outside of traditional sizing. But the service also seems to be a pretty transparent attempt to grab customer data for the Amazon Fashion business.

Amazon, however, characterizes Made for You as part of its ongoing efforts to eliminate online shopping challenges — this time, size and fit. Over time, the company says it wants to expand Made for You with more styles and selections, based on customer feedback.

The retailer has been focused on its fashion business for years, having experimented in the past with its Echo Look camera that would help users rate their styling choices. Today, Amazon uses data from its social feature, #FoundItOnAmazon, to feed images to “Style by Alexa” for fashion inspiration and to drive sales. And with Prime Wardrobe and its optional styling service, Amazon attempts to learn what its customers like to wear and then automate the shopping process by curating items to try on at home in batches.

Though Amazon didn’t explain how it may put the collected data to use to aid its Amazon Fashion business beyond custom clothing, it did say the data was securely stored and customers could delete their data at any time by tapping the profile icon at the top left of the Made for You home page. Amazon also says the uploaded photos aren’t stored and are deleted immediately after being used to create the virtual body double and determine measurements.

With Amazon’s goal with all these efforts to improve online apparel shopping, it could potentially extend to other areas — for example, by helping Amazon build out its dozens of private labels in apparel. And with the added data on real-world customer sizing, the retailer could learn how to better cut its clothing for the best fit. It could even be working on systems that could later help customers select their right size just from a photo, perhaps.

Made for You is launching today in the U.S. across web and mobile.

ILLUSTRATION

A popular aesthetic expression at a particular period and place and in a specific context, especially in clothing, footwear, lifestyle, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, and body proportions.

Even though they are often used together, the term fashion differs from clothes and costumes, where the first describes the material and technical garment, whereas the second has been relegated to special senses like fancy-dress or masquerade wear. Fashion instead describes the social and temporal system that "activates" dress as a social signifier in a certain time and context.
