Abercrombie to close up to 50 US stores - FT.com: ". . . .“Our profitability is not where it needs to be,” said Mike Jeffries, chief executive, on an earnings call with analysts, highlighting “a challenging US retail environment over the holiday period.” The announcement that Abercrombie would close 40 to 50 of its 900-plus US stores – primarily by allowing leases to expire – comes as analysts say that US retailers have more stores than they need in a weak economy where ecommerce continues to grow. “It is unknown how the customer will respond to the economic situation,” said Oliver Chen, analyst at Citi Investment Research. “The impact of the payroll tax, elevated gas prices and continued macroeconomic uncertainty all led to weaker guidance.” Sales in its direct-to-consumer business rose 52 per cent while total group sales increased 11 per cent to $1.5bn. . . .

BCBGMAXAZRIA: MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK FALL 2013

'love what you do, and do what you love' 
BCBGMAXAZRIA: MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK FALL 2013 - BGBGMAXAZRIA FALL 2013 Collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York.

Photo 4- Peep Stephanie Winston Wolkoff's Super-Luxe UES Apt: ""Of all the many words of wisdom Anna instilled in me, she really put it best when she advised me to 'love what you do, and do what you love.' If you can, the rest of it manages to fall into place.""

Our Vision: Make Sales to End Sweatshops - NYTimes.com: "There have been a lot of grim stories lately involving the manufacture of clothing. Over the last few months, there have been factory fires in Bangledesh that have taken the lives of hundreds of men and women who endured depressing sweatshop environments in order to feed their families. These factories were producing products for global brands like Wal-Mart, Disney, and Enyce. And a recent study by Greenpeace International concluded that Calvin Klein, GAP, Zara, Diesel, and other top apparel brands produce clothes that contain high levels of dangerous chemicals. Does it make sense that these and other brands are allowed to make products that expose people throughout their supply chains — cotton farmers to garment workers to consumers — to cancer-causing and endocrine-disrupting agents that can cause birth defects, learning disorders, and even death? If clothing were food, wouldn’t there be a recall? In most cases, these brands have little to fear in the way of regulation. What they do fear is a loss of sales – and that is where my start-up, Fashioning Change, hopes to play a role. We have built a marketplace that offers stylish, money-saving, safe, sustainable, and sweatshop-free alternatives. Our goal is to support manufacturers that are doing things right – and to leave the big brands no option but to adopt authentic practices that protect health, the Earth, and human rights. That’s our plan, any way . . ."

Balenciaga’s World of Mystery - Books of Style - NYTimes.com: "In her penetrating and entertaining new biography, “The Master of Us All: Balenciaga, His Workrooms, His World,” Ms. Blume acknowledges that, even in his heyday, Balenciaga was something of a cipher. Born in a Basque village in 1895 to a fisherman father (who soon died) and a seamstress mother, he was sewing clothes for the Spanish nobility in his teens, established half a dozen Spanish fashion houses in his 20s and 30s, and in 1936, opened La Maison Balenciaga in Paris on the Avenue George V. Intensely private, he shunned press and publicity, which meant that the inner workings of his private and professional life remained largely unknown, apart from such facts (which the author drolly cites) as that he loved skiing and had bad sinuses."
