Taj Mahal in Mumbai luxury hotels, customers stroll in the 70-year-old shoe store in Old Joy, and decorated with hand-sequined sandals and soft leather shoes love does not address the “feet.”

And near the corner of a (Moschino) store brands, although the windows have arrived from Milan various fashionable clothing and food, the store remains empty.

Joy starts in the men’s 3,500 rupees (70 U.S. dollars), the slightest not cheap, but the shop selling the goods for many years. Store the third-generation successor Munna Javery explained that, Joy’s success lies in the necessary precursor customers and maintain relations with customers all year round.

For the international luxury goods retailers, this is only in India they face the many problems of the two.

Although the growing number of millionaires in India, but India’s luxury market compared to China, Brazil and other emerging markets is still inferior compared to many. Because in India, high-quality retail stores are limited, a luxury high import tariffs, foreign mergers and acquisitions restricted stores, the proliferation of fake and shoddy products, and administrative red tape is really annoying annoying.

According to Merrill Lynch and consultancy Capgemini (Merrill Lynch / Capgemini) survey data, in 2007 India had 123,000 millionaires, and the exceptionally rapid population growth. But in the “BRIC” has been the bottom, and the number of China’s rich is more than three times that figure.

While India accounted for the entire luxury goods retail market share is also the smallest, only 0.4%. Bain & Company (Bain & Co.) Report shows that in China the ratio is 2.7%.

India, Nepal really Mei Group (Murjani Group) owns Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans and Tommy Hilfiger international brands, and in the Indian market with Gucci, Calvin Klein and Jimmy Choo and other luxury brands marketing.

In India, the country opened to foreign retailers has been a controversial topic, mainly worried that lead to local unemployment. Until 2006, the exclusive brand retailers overseas acquisitions before they are allowed to store up to 51 percent of local shares, the international brands such as Gucci, Versace, Chanel and Burberry after in this one after another to enter the Indian market.

Although the Indian economy in the past three years has maintained a high growth rate of 9 percent, but the vast majority of other brands can only mouth-watering, but not their access. Louis Vuitton (Louis Vuitton) operating in India five years has only held four stores, compared with China, however, it has 25 stores.

米兰贝恩partner Claudia D’Arpizio said: “In emerging economies, a luxury only a very small part of target market share. And in India, In addition, the regulatory mechanism and retail infrastructure deficiencies is to the problems faced. ”

Luxury goods in India was only kings and the exclusive domain of wealthy businessmen. With the rise of affluent middle class, working women and the youth population, the increasingly broad market prospect. However, high taxes, high rentals store has been to restrict the further development of a luxury market.

New Delhi, “Khan Market” (Khan Market) despite the small size, the construction in a dilapidated state, the latest still being rated as the world’s highest retail rents, monthly rent per square foot up to 1,200 rupees (equivalent to 1889 yuan / sq m) , higher than in Amsterdam and Stockholm, luxury shopping malls.

“We are a very cautious family, (for Chanel) We have never said anything. Chanel Coco Chanel is about is about Carl is on the work of every one in the Chanel, creative people, and not about family. “De Mol
As we all know, Chanel can have today, can not be separated from Chanel and Lagerfeld credit. However, we must also admit that, if there is no three generations of family tradition, there will not be Chanel today. Without them, for Chanel earn the most honor and money will not be on the 5th perfume onto the market; Without them, the last century 50s Chanel’s comeback is the only fantasy; Without them, it is difficult to imagine pulling will become dominant in today’s fashion … …
Many years ago, described him as Lagerfeld and Chanel owners relations: “In the whole cause, there is one extraordinary person, and that is De Mol (Alain Wertheimer). If not him, I will not be able to work, he is a hundred percent behind me. Therefore, I can do what I want to do, even if I wanted to do and the political, business issues When there is a conflict. ”
Chanel same hero, compared to Chanel and Lagerfeld’s high-profile publicity, a great deal of attention, many family is obviously a low-key, and even many people do not know the existence of this family, or know little about. This, of course, not because they do less, but they just do not speak or talk. Chanel now as the head of one of De Mol (Gérard Wertheimer) in 2001 to attend a Chanel fashion show said: “We are a prudent family, (for Chanel) We never said anything. Chanel Coco Chanel is about is about Carl is on the work of every one in the Chanel, creative people, rather than on family. ”
Entrepreneurs are competing in this era become a star, a low-key family undoubtedly some hidden incredible, especially for family businesses. However, this apparently did not affect their act. Foreign commented that such practices family, perhaps the strategy is a professional bar. That being the case, then let us make every effort to close the family and its strategic professional. It is not useful to use in the second, failed an eye-opener, expand some ideas, it can be considered rare valuable ah.

And the origin of Chanel

Chanel family and origins, began in the 20th century, Pierre age 20, of acquaintance with Chanel. However, it family can be traced back the origin of the Middle Ages As for Germany. Prussian War period, Pierre’s father, Ernest came to Paris to leave Alsace. 70 era of the 19th century, Ernest investment, a cosmetics company – Bourjois. By the 20th century, 20 years, Ernest’s two sons: Pierre and Paul, the company has become France’s largest cosmetics and perfume company.
In 1922, Chanel and the famous tune Shannon division, known as “Mr. nose” in Ernest (Ernest Beaux) created the No. 5 perfume. The perfume will soon be the customer’s enthusiastic response, but Bao’s laboratory, production is very limited. The famous Lafayette department store, founder of Fun forli Paterson (Théophile Bader) good perfume on the 5th, hope to be able to store its own sales of it, so he introduced to his friend Chanel Pierre awareness, look at the can whether the matter of cooperation.
In 1924, Chanel, Pierre and Paterson tripartite agreement, the establishment of a Chanel perfume company (Les Parfums Chanel). Pierre so on the 5th in his Bourjois perfume factory production, and 70 percent of profits, Paterson earned 20 percent as an intermediary fees, Chanel only 10% of the profit distribution.
In 1929, Pierre was introduced for the mass market nights in Paris (Soir de Paris) perfume by Bourjois marketing companies. At the same time, near the Louvre in Paris, Chanel launched a successful fashion design room. to reach agreement with the family, her career from her own design to operate independently, the sale of clothing named by Chanel. Despite the perfume and fashion business are thriving, but the relationship between Chanel and Pierre started at this time worsened. Split because Chanel initially dissatisfied with the agreement. Chanel think she should get 10 percent more than the distribution of profits, and that her name is in her knowledge was used. For her wronged family pointed out that funding is that they take the first step of her to help her creativity to the market, will she become rich. According to Health (Axel Madsen) in the biography, “Chanel: her own woman (Chanel: A Woman of Her Own)” in said, there is a family lawyers to deal with specialized and Chanel.
In 1940, the Nazi occupation of Paris, Pierre and brother Paul went to New York, USA. They entrusted the Americans, George Thomas (H. Gregory Thomas) back to Paris to complete a mission: to try to get No. 5 perfume formula and the main raw material. Thomas also helped the son of Jacques Pierre fled to New York, and later, he became the president of Chanel’s U.S. subsidiary, in this post has worked for 32 years.
At the same time, Chanel stop her fashion business, but continue to live in Paris. She soon met a Nazi officer. She hoped that the adoption of the Nazis, from the hands of family for their own gain more benefits (in this unwise to make Chanel’s name and the “Law on bad guys” linked together).
However, it family is obviously not so good deal: they acquired the company Felix (Féix Amiot) 50% stake. When Chanel betrayed them, family Chanel perfume company transferred to the company, while companies and the Nazi of arms transactions. By doing so, despite the “Law on bad guys” shameful acts, but in wartime Germany did not move a Chanel perfume company remains. After World War II, Chanel company will “also” to the family .
However, because the relationship between the experience of Nazi arrest, was released and the Chanel, and did not give up and entangled family. Chanel went to Switzerland, where she threatened family – the production of their own perfume on the 5th – Miss Chanel No. 5 (Mademoiselle Chanel NO.5). Finally, family and became a agreement: It is not distributed to the Chanel France 10% of sales, but to her 2% of global sales, at the same time give her the power to produce its own apart from outside on the 5th Other perfume.
In 1953, when No. 5 perfume sales weak, the Pierre to Lausanne, Switzerland, visited the 70-year-old Chanel. Soon, Chanel decided to come back to Paris, the restructuring of her senior fashion house. When she first series failed, she told Pierre: “You know, I would like to have done has been done, until it succeeds.” Pierre decided to continue to support Chanel.
This time, Pierre with Chanel also reached an agreement: family will help to establish at Chanel Cambon Street (rue Cambon) 31 issue of the headquarters, Chanel their own costs and taxes will be in return she was named after his own perfume and fashion control. Chanel because there are no heirs, after her death, the family will receive its perfume concessions. Many years later, Paterson family from the hands of the family it has bought a 20% stake, in full possession of a Chanel.

Chanel push to reach new heights

In 1963, Pierre’s death, his son inherited Jacques Chanel. He was already 55 years old, a good time is spent on the race on. Jacques was born in 1910, have two sons, Alan and Inder Kumar, the 50’s with his wife divorced, died in February 1996 in Paris. Jacques is not an experienced businessman, Chanel is not his favorite, but he witnessed the most successful commercial brand for 30 years, Chanel has also experienced the last 8 years of design life, then see Lagerfeld took over the fashion housing.
In 1974, Chanel’s business has become depressed, 25-year-old Alan from the hands of his father, Jacques took over the company, the brand is now made from his many achievements. Alan took over at Chanel, there is no business experience, but he was soon to see what the. He began to control the development of channels, to Chanel No. 5 channels from cosmetic removed, and launched only in the high-end sales channels beautiful Chanel (Chanel Beauté) cosmetics series. In 1978, Chanel introduced its clothing line, from fees (Philippe Guibourg) design. In 1980, Alan hired (Kitty D’Alessio) to operate the U.S. subsidiary.
Chanel has been responsible for the advertising business for many years to understand the rapidly changing fashion industry, companies need to adjust what is fast: a new designer. She looked at the Lagerfeld. “I have the attention of his work a long time. I think he is very talented, but also of modernity have a good feeling. He used to work, not copied from or affected by Chanel, very original, which I am very attractive. “Therefore, if there is no Alan, there will be no , there will be no Lagerfeld Chanel into the Army.
It can be said that there is no Chanel, family is very rich. However, the success of Chanel gave the family more honor and wealth to the next level. Now, family property is estimated to reach seven billion to 80 billion dollars.

Low-key art

Many people have pointed out that Chanel’s culture is conservative. However, it seems, and Chanel, Lagerfeld less in line with the publicity. Therefore, some doubt what is the strength and success of such a conservative culture Chanel has been passed so far. Think carefully, and perhaps behind family will give us some answers to it. family of low-key, subdued and Chanel give people a sense of security, it seems that we have some understanding.
Times have changed, family in the development and growth, even if developed to Alan and Inder Kumar of this generation, and their low-key, as always, remains a tradition. That may be the characteristics of their family now.
Alan in New York, Inder Kumar work in Geneva, they were very quiet, diligent to deal with family affairs. Alan, compare thin, have beards, the two brothers and a more cynical, and his wife Brigitte, with three children living in a Fifth Avenue mansion where. They are family operations are very secretive, rarely participate in charitable activities such as dinner. New York celebrities that (Nan Kempner) once said: “We recognize the many years, but only playing greeted never visited each other.” Gerardo, then some short, some fat, some kind. He is also and his wife Valerie live the same life hidden. A Geneva-based businessman and, like many other celebrities, have refused to say why. He said: “They are very hidden, you can not see them at the hotel.”
When Alan and Inder Kumar to take part in Chanel’s fashion show, they take the most conservative French-made hatchback car, and went quietly, to sit down at the third row or the fourth row position. They rarely take part in Chanel’s new store opening or other activities, but also never let his name appear in the publicity.
When family to Paris after the staff, but also rarely go out. French edition of Vogue has an editorial said: “They love classical music, go to theaters, because I often came across them. I do every year in longchamp (Long Champ) Race Course, the Arc de Triomphe (Arc de Triomphe) Happy to see them play. they will not force themselves to go out socializing, even and Chanel-related activities, this is indeed very strange. ”
In addition, it is worth mentioning is that in family history, the horse is very important. Pierre and Paul are very fanatical horse owners. family in the race received the first prize in 1911. Pierre was the biggest success in 1956, his horse lavender (Lavandin) was Award (Epsom Derby). Jacques not to mention the input of the horse. Today, Inder Kumar monitoring of the horse family. In 1995, family already have 120 horses, this is a property of hundreds of millions of dollars.
They refused to permit the operation, refused to wantonly expansion. Alan many years ago in his rare time to accept the “Wine Spectator (Wine Spectator)” the interview said: “The operating license can make money, but it was not done the way family business. I will accept your interview, because I am very pleased with you to talk about wine and horses. because we sell brand value, Ma is the brand value brothers. but I do not accept the interview Chanel because it operating for Chanel are not useful. ”
Perhaps it is such a low profile in order to enable them to heart more calm, more ups and downs of the world is not about to see more high and see far. They are not subject to external growth figures released by the , they focus on long-term investment. As Alan has pointed out: “We do not think the total return. We are not in order to sell and buy. We bought in order to make it even better.”

The late 1980s, a lightweight Prada backpack suddenly swept up shoulders. It is made of parachute fabric, only the top decorated with a small amount of leather, low-key color is black or brown smoke. Solely from the use of materials and processes to determine the cost up, the prices of 450 U.S. dollars is also worth it, but compared to the same level of Chanel, Hermès bag, it really be regarded as a cheap luxury. Especially in those with limited means fashionable among young people, this is also the modern low-key, both alternative and practical package of Prada just to satisfy their entry-level “itbag” thirst.
Permanent Paris 12 years of “Newsweek” fashion reporter Dana Thomas recently published a new book, “Deluxe: How Luxury Lost ItsLuster” ( “Why luxury pale”), she pointed out in his book: “Prada shoulders of fashionable backpack luxury goods industry is a huge change in a milestone. “Prior to this, is a luxury family-run small companies regardless of the cost of arts and crafts items produced only a handful of the rich could afford to buy; however, 450 U.S. dollars parachute cloth bag is globalization, mass production of large companies luxury, they are for the whole high-end market, to set off the world’s fashion trends.

Today, luxury has a value of 157 billion U.S. dollars because of the huge market, of which 60% market share by 35 big brands in the country. Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Cartier and other luxury brands most first-line originated in the 18th century and 19th century, initially for the French royal family services tailoring workshop aristocracy, the monarchy collapsed, the luxury workshop then become prominent European aristocrats and the United States enjoy a family . 1960s, “Beat Generation” break through the barriers of class, but 20 years later, the savior of luxury goods industry, a new elite class was born: they are a group of successful financial strength of the single women.

So the middle class becomes a major consumer of luxury goods group, they are susceptible to advertising incitement, used to movie stars and celebrities as a fashion idol, but they have not the money to the pursuit of luxury at any price level. In order to psychographic, luxury goods companies to start using cheap fabric and production lines to reduce costs, and only one after another big push red tide quarter alone leisure goods and cheap vice licensing. What only a few people to have Louis Vuitton bags, Chanel perfume and Christian Louboutin shoes? The U.S. version of “Vogue” magazine editor Anna Wintour once said: “Fashion can be exposed to more people of course, the better.” Perfume designer Fred Hayman that the civilian population of the luxury “lost prestige of the mark.” And Dana Thomas in this book is different from another point of view, she wrote: “If it is said that over the past 30 years only luxury goods industry has witnessed a change, then that is the blind pursuit of profits. Former private workshop of course, those who considering to make money, but their biggest goal is to create the best possible thing; luxury giants are now no longer cares about what the product itself, they only care about product represents what?? luxury industry changed the way we do dressing the way, and even interpersonal ways, it has become part of the social structure. However, in order to become accessible luxury, it is so special about them was abandoned. ”

Only the elite in luxury until the age of consumption, trade marks have been carefully sewing uniforms in the senior set, and now, brand Logo be directly printed on the goods, or even a logo or pattern. Similarly, once only a matter of sense of smell the perfume and imagination, and now often is based on a pile of sales data and market research reports to deploy, and then rely on star familiar faces to attract customers. In any case, consumers have more care about what represents a luxury, it is the purpose of buying luxury goods is often because such comparisons, conformity, squandered or buy addicted.

Paris and New York is no longer a luxury of the holy sites of Mecca. In Moscow, the new senior Crocus City square foot shopping mall, 69 million square feet, with 180 brand shops, which naturally includes Armani, Pucci, Versace and other big-name luxury. “Today, approximately 40 percent of Japanese have at least one LV products.” Thomas wrote. While in the United States, women have to purchase an annual average of four or more bags, Las Vegas has to gambling, entertainment, side by side for the three most important tourism projects, even those who do not live in the metropolis life are not well-off people can also go to Outlet Village procurement big fashion and accessories designers discounted goods.

With the luxury consumer places diametrically opposite temperament, perhaps Thomas portrayed in the book those luxury birthplace: Paris suburb Asnières-sur-Seine with Louis Vuitton, a senior custom factory, where 220 production workers Hand sewing bag and some special custom commodities; Provence Grasse is the famous city of French perfume, Chanel No.5 perfume used by jasmine and roses on from there; female bra inventor Cadolle fifth-generation great granddaughter Poupie Cadolle family has insisted the form of workshops, her bra High customized price of at least 800 U.S. dollars?

Thomas in these areas have seen a continuation of cultural luxury, she cited appreciate very much his own designer Christian Louboutin shoes as saying: “Luxury is a close with its customers the greatest possibility, do you mind doing things know that they will surely they like. is important that every detail, subtlety, there are services? However, luxury does not always meet the market for consumerism. Its significance lies in the fact that let us learn to appreciate the eyes of those who truly unique quality. “

Chanel’s design director Karl Lagerfeld said a classic saying: “in the fashion world, some things will never fade popular, it is a jeans with a Chanel jacket.” For Many of Miss Coco “fan” is concerned with a Chanel jacket has become a life had to do. These design simplicity collar coat, after half a century after the baptism is still allow passers-by “Wow” top tidal goods, that’s right, if you intend to buy a lifetime can wear a luxury, it is no doubt the classic Chanel jacket.

The selection of the principle of one: the most simple style

As Coco Chanel said, “Always remove, never add”, only the most simple test of time. Think medieval palace in the right whale bone clothing, such burdensome suffering like the clothes are destined to be discarded by the times, an entirely simple clothes, but in all the trend in all complement each other.

Second, the selection principle: work to fine

For a jacket, the fit of the tailoring and clothing design is equally important, one does not fit the clothes, even if it no longer wear your body looks like also to spread the goods. If you have not heard of the “seam coverage” if the trend may keep, Chanel jacket for each of the pieces are set aside each seam can zoom in or out of about a size, for modifications. Some by the light of twill fabrics produced coat, every several centimeter needle on secret sewn together in order to maintain the shape and to ensure a comfortable, even if the body changes clothes still will not be wasted. What is even more amazing is that each of the lower edge of Chanel jacket, are fixed with a metal chain, to ensure that the formation lap, to date, this has become Chanel’s “unique recipe.”

The selection of the principle of three: classical enough fabric

Tweed? Yes, this fabric from the last century 20’s to start using until now, is still the trend of extending the stage elements, the so-called “classic” non-it must go, creating a 100 years to popular jackets, the use of the popular 100-year wrong fabric. Of course, compared with fabrics, Chanel jacket is more attractive is certainly something that people dream of double-C logo.

When a number of holders of foreign currency for the members of the public wealth and distressed about the time, some people secretly pleased – they are in this financial tsunami surfing the purchase of a happy family.

But where is on leave outside the tour will be able to think of it? No wonder more and more people joined the ranks of purchasing abroad.

Start-up purchase of the site was originally white and Niyaz revenues are white-collar workers in Shanghai, one to do IT, do a sale, had set foot in the sale of luxury goods is an absolute coincidence, only to travel abroad, “lost” a lot but do not idle The brand-name belts, wallets to get back up Taobao funds.

High fashion show for free Views

The past, the brand’s fashion show every quarter, only to contribute to a limited number of VIP customers, as well as professional media, brand new products every quarter, the new trend, it will inform them in advance, the latest fashion from their lead.

Today, Viktor & Rolf’s fashion show in the live webcast, Tod’s establishment of online television, publishing any new products, the spokesman for the latest trends, such as … …

Most of those people who feel aggrieved pyramid should be the loss of privileges. Over the past only to enjoy VIP treatment, as only an invitation in order to watch the first time the fashion show, now turned into fun with the public projects. This is always the play Viktor & Rolf’s new initiatives.

The two from the Netherlands, avant-garde designer’s fashion show has always been full of powerful visual impact, such as to allow the model into a Russian doll to wear several layers of clothes off, or walked back headlamps staggered step Desk and so on, very pleasantly surprised every time people have become fashion fans look forward to. However, in spring and summer 2009 Paris Fashion Week’s list, there is not even familiar names that people can not help but speculate it is because the economic downturn, resulting in cancellation of Viktor & Rolf fashion show? In fact, Diesel group was backed by Viktor & Rolf natural is no shortage of this money, but will be made into a fashion show Vedio, not gorgeous background, star guests, even the model Shalom Harlow only one person, but it’s hard to use but not less than Viktor & Rolf, before any of a show, because it took 2 and a half hours filming, but also the use of a 57 person production team used the magic of digital technology will be 21 Seamless Shalom Harlow, and in the end , “Shalom Harlow” were standing on both sides of T-Taiwan applauded, and then gradually disappear in the digital air show for the entire painting of a perfect ending, making it Vitor & Rolf a new milestone.

However, the significance of this milestone because it is not the use of modern technology and imagination, the most critical thing is, Viktor & Rolf fans around the world they want to share at the same time show event before the specialized production of this special fashion show, and broadcast on its Web site. Apart from outside the show, even on weekdays it is difficult to see the background scenery, with the camera lens can see more than the VIP treatment VIP, no wonder that Viktor & Rolf threatened, and this is “the future fashion show the new direction of development.”

Although now we also can not imagine, in the near future, Chanel, Valentino, such as luxury brand will really give up out of the background and the many magnificent model of interpretation, in the web publishing a quarterly basis the lift, but at least we can see Today, a growing number of brands, such as Martin Margiela, Comme des Garcons, Dior, Maxmara organized various exhibitions, are no longer cold, “Please bring an invitation to enter,” but under the banner of “FREE” label All are welcome to join.

Perhaps this is also blamed for the global economy in the doldrums, in fact, as early as in the past few decades, another a high-customized fashion house at the time of the collapse, represents luxury fashion dreams are gradually collapse, such as Zara, H & M , Topshop, such as the rise of low-priced fashion brand, will be popular to mention faster and faster pace, in the past clothing from T-Taiwan pop to the public, is likely to take 2 to 3 years, and now is almost synchronous. Can only wear the same quarter is or parity, in today’s environment, each person has in mind the number of luxury brands and the attractiveness of gold gradually reduce.

Therefore, the only luxury brand to develop a “People First” project, the so-called exhibition, publishing, is the brand in order to free the way to establish their own unique brand image in order to attract those young consumers who love fashion, so that they now perhaps can not afford to buy the crowd and become the future potential customers, is nothing but an “early pay” business strategy.

Several hundred dollars of brand-name Logo

The past, teachers tailor custom, those who signed on as a Logo or noble status symbol.

Today, Logo is no longer to be admired, to spend several hundred dollars can buy the name of teacher signatures High Street brands.

Not long ago, a grand party in order to Yan Jing-4, noble Queen can please Christain Dior, Coco Chanel these masters ordered to spend several months a set of evening wear, and even under the banner of “fly” went to great pains to repeatedly test equipment until perfect. Unfortunately, this golden age of fashion has become obsolete, will be works of art fashion as fewer and fewer people are treated, senior fashion houses or on the declaration of the closure, or just as the maintenance of high-end brand image of a magic weapon, only used to worship, and commercial relations weakened.

In fact, this trend as early as in the last century 90’s a time when the economic downturn began, it was luxury brand半遮半掩to put the low profile, calling it a “vice-ray”, the name of the design style more young banner, will also be the way prices have become more “inexpensive” to expand the age of consumer groups and walks of life, increase sales, such as D & G, Miu Miu, DKNY and other second-tier brands, including the late See by Chloe, McQ, are to be transported the product. However, despite the price of these second-tier brands than the main line, there is a big slice of cheap, but to say that really low to allow the general public are hi-by-Yan Kai, Marc Jacobs in addition to tens of dollars can buy souvenirs series, Most ordinary people are still so discouraged. The real innovation is Karl Largerfeld for H & M launched a limited series.

The feeling at the beginning of some “Since the price drop” a move now appears, it may be enough to go down in history loading fashion. On the one hand, it is the luxury brands have found a group called the “Crossover” perfectly justifiable reasons to get close to the public, in addition to well-known Y-3 outside, Puma will be Hussein Chalayan, please do the design director, Sergio Rossi with the launch of high – with sports shoes; at the same time for Speedo, Nike and many other brands designed Kawakubo-ling, will be extended tactile adidas and Stella McCartney for LeSportsac, etc., they money at the same time, a sharp rise in popularity more instantaneous; On the other hand, those who look at fashion magazines to see the madness, but could pocket shy, only to buy goods ABC people were fully aroused the enthusiasm, just spent the past several hundred thousand dollars, they will have to buy brand names with the same sense of vanity and sense of satisfaction , although the texture and hand than genuine brand-name products are inferior to many, but a “limited” this aura, it seems that vanity makes up a class.

Therefore, it is also not difficult to explain why the name of Diesel in order to limit the introduction of 390 sold a pair of jeans, four hours in the crazy chaos they declared sold out; Monopoly French boutique Colette store buyers will work with the most popular Gap cooperation, from clothing to accessories from the entire series when it announced the launch of attracting much attention. Another angle, in fact, those who are not widely known, there is no shortage of talented designers, but also to use with the High Street brands opportunity to significantly enhance its visibility, Viktor & Rolf is the most typical beneficiaries.

In fact, if it is cheap brand name plates affixed Logo for their own gold-plated, it would be better described as a luxury brand with the popularity of low-priced brand to the public closer to the way to upgrade their brand popularity, only a just and mutually beneficial behavior !

In 2008 the domestic fashion industry calm, subdued, but nonetheless distinctive taste. Fashion events and the big trend is natural and the Olympic Games, such as the economic crisis on the global event, it is small, tall, said to have too many. The most crucial is that you will find, fashion increasingly permeate all aspects of life, resulting in this year’s “all the people engaged in fashion” trend. Fashion magazine should not be unattainable, the era of universal love has long fashion, we come to the literacy.

Have to say also lap up the domestic fashion people, fashion is not just released the new trend of every quarter so simple, overlooked charity, environmental protection, lifestyle fashion, make people feel total. This is what you really should refer to Donatella Versace, others foreigners in China to contribute to charity – and you figure where to go?

Today, we particularly look at the 2008 side face, how we are all talking about it. These people, some ordinary users, some fashion people Tatsu, some designers … … However, without exception, they are using this simple but brilliant word, to spell out their own fashion events.

Chanel pure hand-made bike: In contrast we are more willing to see a Chanel bike in the street after, rather than a hope that more families with 100,000 yuan-grade sedan, which will be released but smoke, and the plug traffic
