Fashion's invisible woman

http://www.latimes.com/features/lifestyle/la-ig-size1-2009mar01,0,2345629.story

The average American woman is size 14. Why is the fashion industry still pretending she doesn't exist?
By Emili Vesilind
March 1, 2009

When it comes to shopping, the average American man has it made. At 189.8 pounds and a size 44 regular jacket, he can wear Abercrombie & Fitch, American Apparel or Armani. Department stores, mall retailers and designer boutiques all cater to his physique -- even when it's saddled with love handles, a sagging chest or a moderate paunch. In menswear, shlubby is accommodated.

But the average U.S. woman, who's 162.9 pounds and wears a size 14, is treated like an anomaly by apparel brands and retailers -- who seem to assume that no one over size 10 follows fashion's capricious trends.

Fashion-forward boutiques such as Maxfield and Fred Segal rarely stock anything over a size 10, and in designer shops, sizes beyond 6 or 8 are often hidden like contraband in the "back." Department stores typically offer tiny sections with only 20 or so brands that fit sizes 14 and up -- compared with the 900-plus brands they carry in their regular women's wear departments.

That leaves style-loving full-figured women with a clutch of plus-size chains including Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, Avenue and Torrid. Or big-box stores such as Target, Kohl's and Wal-Mart, the No. 1 seller of plus-size apparel in the country -- though most of its selection consists of basic, often matronly items. Beyond this, plus-size clothing is largely relegated to the Internet, where customers who already have a complicated relationship with clothes are unable to see, touch or try on merchandise.

It often seems that it's easier to find and buy stylish clothes for Chihuahuas than for roughly half the country's female population.

Americans are getting larger, and 62% of females are already categorized as overweight. But the relationship between the fashion industry and fuller-figure women is at a standoff, marked by suspicion, prejudice and low expectations on both sides. The fear of fat is so ingrained in designers and retailers that even among those who've successfully tapped the market, talking plus-size often feels taboo. The fraught relationship between fashion and plus-size is far from new, but seems particularly confounding in a time when retailers are pulling out all the stops to bring in business. Carrying a range of sizes that includes the average female would seem like a good place to start.

"Plus-size has been a challenge for the industry for decades," said Marshall Cohen, chief industry analyst for the research firm NPD Group. "When I interview plus-size women, there's really nothing [in the market] that the consumer says they like. Because of this, women in this demographic have learned to make fashion not a priority." The longing for style is strong, but the hopes of finding it are low, and shopping is less fun than frustrating.

The message board at figuremagazine.com, the online incarnation of Figure, a magazine for full-figured women, reads like a laundry list of ways that brands and retailers aren't connecting with the demographic.

"Are all big girls supposed to dress like Midwestern farm wives?" asks one reader. "We have money -- why don't they want to sell to us?"

Another adds, "I don't want any more polyester, hip-hop gear, frumpy jeans and themed capris! I want the designers not to assume that I am a frumpy 55-year-old, middle-management employee. . . . Is anyone listening to us?"

It's a which-came-first scenario, Cohen said. Because plus-size women have been ignored for years, they've stopped actively looking for shopping opportunities. But when retailers bring savvy style to the plus-size game (as Gap Inc. did with its short-lived concept, Forth & Towne, which carried fashion-forward clothing for career women in sizes 2 to 20), they often shutter their efforts before they have a chance to bloom.

"Retailers don't have the patience to allow it to evolve," he added. "This is a market that's been underserved for 50 years. Customers are saying, 'For 50 years, you've ignored me and now you expect me to react to it instantaneously?' No."

Designer line

It's true that the development phase of a plus-size collection is costly, because fitting bigger bodies is more complicated than simply making smaller sizes larger. When bodies get larger (especially over a size 18), they take on a different proportion -- there's generally more girth in the middle -- and the ratio between hip and waist changes.

But the payoff for sustaining a successful collection is worth the investment, said Rachel Pally, perhaps the only designer who sells a contemporary collection in trendy boutiques and a plus-size line -- Rachel Pally White Label -- in department stores. Pally's full-figured collection is one of the top-selling vendors for Nordstrom.

"Fashion-forward plus-size women have no options," she said. "They're so thirsty for the product." Why others don't jump on the bandwagon, she added, is a mystery. "It's like, 'Hello? Don't you guys want to make money?' "

Many retailers aren't even game to discuss "plus." When contacted for this story, nearly every major retailer -- including Nordstrom, Macy's, H&M, even Wal-Mart -- declined to give interviews on the subject or didn't respond to requests. It's an odd silence, considering how ripe the market is. With hardly any high-end resources at their disposal, full-figured women still spent $18.6 billion on apparel in stores and online from December 2007 to November 2008, according to NPD Group.

That's only around 20% of the $109.7 billion spent in the regular-size ranges, but bricks-and-mortar plus-size retailers comprise far less than 20% of the total women's apparel retail industry -- and high-end options in the category are extremely rare, so purchase prices are substantially lower.

At the crux of the inequity, according to some plus-size designers, models and retailers, is prejudice toward women the industry doesn't find particularly glamorous or sexy. Like fifth-grade girls who secretly live in fear of being ostracized from the cool clique, they don't want to be caught talking to the fat girl.

Full-figured supermodel Emme sells her own plus-size collection, me by Emme, on QVC, and will be debuting Emme Style, an online clearinghouse for plus-size fashion resources, this year under the same name. Top fashion magazine editors and designers, she said, are guilty of perpetuating the idea that full-figured women and fashion don't mix.

"It really does come from very few edicts from a few people," she said. "You have to ask yourself why they are [defending] against this. Seriously, there are issues there."

'A lot of resistance'

Fear of the full-figured runs through every cog of the industry once you leave the realm of retailers and brands that are exclusively plus-size. "My sales team was adamantly opposed to me doing a plus-size line," said Pally, because they feared it would cause her signature line to lose cachet.

"There was a lot of resistance, but I did it anyway. I used to say my brand was for everyone, but it really wasn't." She's not concerned, she said, with "the few . . . who are offended that I'm accommodating women who make up the majority of the population."

Designers whose bread and butter rests on their ability to create an aura of cool exclusivity (basically, the bulk of designers seen on the runway, save brands with lifestyle extensions, such as Michael Kors and Calvin Klein) worry that sallying into the market will dilute their brand's mystique and, ultimately, their sales. Prada designer Miuccia Prada may have had these concerns in mind when she stated that she would not sell clothes over a size 10.

And it's on these loftiest of perches that the hypocrisy of the fashion industry seems most glaring. Some of the world's most lauded designers and fashion critics are -- or have at one time been -- too broad in the beam to fit a leg into the designs they create and coo over.

Still, compassion is in short supply. When Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, who spent most of his adult life battling a serious weight problem, created a capsule collection for H&M in 2004, the newly svelte designer was incensed that the retailer manufactured the collection in larger sizes. "What I designed was fashion for slender and slim people," he said. And in an interview in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar, he sniffed, "The body has to be impeccable . . . if it's not, buy small sizes and less food." Issues, indeed.

While it was heartening to see that Vogue's influential editor Anna Wintour styled plus-size British chanteuse Adele for this year's Grammy Awards, we probably won't be seeing the singer on the cover of the magazine any time soon ("Most of the Vogue girls are so thin, tremendously thin, because Miss Anna don't like fat people," Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley told Oprah Winfrey in 2005.)

Whitney Thompson, the only plus-size winner of "America's Next Top Model, " said: "I just want to see a size 6 model once on a runway." A perfectly proportioned 5 foot 10 inches tall who wears a size 10 or 12, depending on the garment, she's the first plus-size model to win Tyra Banks' TV modeling competition, though growing up in Florida, she considered herself to be on the slender side. "I'm not a plus-size person, I'm a plus-size model," noted the 21-year-old. "On the street, I'm skinny. At castings, I'm a cow."

What? No 4s?

But it doesn't take a casting call to make plus-size women feel like cultural lepers. They just have to cruise into any of L.A.'s trendiest boutiques, which create the illusion that this is a town of size 0s and 2s. Fraser Ross, owner of the Kitson boutiques, said he wishes more trendy brands would manufacture 12s and 14s -- but he adds that he doesn't have the square footage to carry true plus-sizes.

"Stores feel they don't want to give in to women with more flesh," Emme said. "There's this idea of slovenliness and all those stereotypes and myths that have been embraced since the '50s. It's ridiculous."

Certainly, there are enough retailers out there to ensure that plus-size women won't be walking around naked any time soon. But resources for fuller-figured women looking to follow trends (and even dabble in the avant-garde) are close to nil. The perception in the industry, said Cohen and Pally, is that full-figured women have less disposable income, and are less concerned with current styles.

This may or may not be another Catch-22. Did the demographic give up on fashion before fashion gave up on the demographic? Or was it the other way around?

Jaye Hersh, owner of the L.A. boutique Intuition on West Pico Boulevard, discovered that the fashion-conscious plus-size customer -- who has money to spend -- is one of the most underserved markets around when she started stocking designer jeans in sizes 32 to 38, and upping her inventory of one-size-fits-all merchandise.

What started as a slow trickle of customers has ballooned into a voracious new client base. " 'Enthusiastic' is an understatement," she said of the reception. The business has helped buoy Hersh's company, while other boutiques in L.A. have shuttered en masse this past year.

Similar tales of success would no doubt blossom should more companies decide to start thinking big.

Emme, who was once called a "fatty" by a photographer who refused to shoot her (she was 5 foot 11 inches tall and a size 10), said responsiveness to the average woman can't come quickly enough. "The market has to change -- fashion can't be just for the exclusive few," she said. "We're responsible for ourselves. They're responsible for clothing us."

[Fashion Job Board @ ElegantPlus.com] ASK AARON - Acting and Commercial Modeling

Hi. I have been traveling from Sydney Australia to Orlando and many cities in-between giving my Becoming a Successful Actor and Commercial Model Workshop over the past 6 weeks, so I was not able to send my January ASK AARON - Acting and Commercial Modeling information to you.

I hope you find this helpful.

From Jaime, MD:
Do you know of any acting exercises I can practice in order to cry on cue?

Dear Jaime:

There are many acting exercises you can try in order to cry on demand. One way is to remember something that made you very sad. Then you need to practice being able to relive that experience. You must be able to see, smell and feel everything that took place that caused the sad situation. This takes some time so don’t give up if it does not happen right away. While shooting a film scene, the actor will have plenty of time to prepare, think, listen to the right music and do whatever it takes to get ready to shoot the emotional scene.

There are also some techniques people use that have nothing to do with “Method” acting. Some actors simply place a finger by their eyes that had been rubbed on an onion, pull a nose hair or yawn a number of times and tears will start being produced. Having said all that, sometimes the most dramatic scene is when someone can hold back the tears. That can be a very powerful experience.

[Fashion Job Board @ ElegantPlus.com] Plus-sized brides a growing market

Plus-sized brides a growing market

http://www.standard-freeholder.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1446844

CURVES REQUIRED
Posted By SHARON ASCHAIEK, SPECIAL TO SUN MEDIA
Posted 2 days ago

For full-figured altar-bound women, the wedding gown can be the hardest item to check off the wedding to-do list.

"Lots of brides who call us say that they can't find plus-size dresses anywhere. There's not a great selection out there," says Chris Sconzo, owner of Plus Size Bridal.

Brides who wear size 14 and larger are a growing segment of the bridal market, representing an estimated 25% of brides in the U. S. last year, according to one online retailer.

At Plus Size Bridal -- which bills itself as the leading web-based discount bridal store -- there are thousands of styles of wedding dresses available in up to size 32, and ranging in price from about $350 to $1,600.

Since its launch in 2000, the North Carolina-based business has been enjoying brisk business, selling hundreds of wedding gown a year, including to many shapely Canadian brides.

"Our customers are ecstatic that they have found us, and that we have what they're looking for. They tell us that the dresses are stunning and fit like a dream," Sconzo says.

While some wedding dress stores do carry plus sizes, Sconzo hears from his customers that the shopping experience can be a hassle.

"Our customers call us up crying, saying that a sales associate told them, 'big girls don't get married.' We hear about a lot of rudeness, and it seems like retailers don't want these women in their shops," he says.

Wedding dress shopping through Plus Size Bridal is easy: Brides browse gowns according to criteria such as price, designer and key word; then, they review the manufacturer size chart that accompanies each dress to determine their size.

Once they receive the dress they've ordered, they can see how it fits in the privacy of their own home, Sconzo says.

"They can try it on with just their mom in the room, and they don't have to be self-conscious," he says.

Like wedding gowns purchased anywhere, the dresses may require some alterations, so Sconzo suggests using the services of a local seamstress.

If the dress just doesn't work, customers can return or exchange it within five days, though Sconzo says his company has only a 3% return rate.

"These women are just like everybody else, they want to look good when they get married. I think retailers don't realize how big this market is," Sconzo says.

Indeed, of the approximately 2.4 million women who wed last year in the U. S., about 600,000, were plus sized.

That's the finding from Always For Me, a leading web retailer of swimwear, active wear and lingerie -- including bridal trousseaus -- for curvy women.

"There is a prevailing attitude among mainstream retailers that plus-size lingerie is not sexy, not attractive and does not sell. Just trying to find a store that carries trousseaus in their size is difficult," says Susan Barone, president. "One look at the beautiful styles, shapes and fabrics on our site and it's clear that's not true."

Always For Me features "queen-sized" corsets, chemises, baby dolls and more, available in sizes ranging from 1X all the way up to 6X.

What also draws customers are the prices: while wedding trousseaus - which refers to wedding night and honeymoon lingerie -- can cost hundreds of dollars, Always For Me offers entire sets for less than $100 US.

As well, the site's extensive selection of plus-sized swimwear is ideal for brides heading to hot honeymoon locales.

Brides enjoy the privacy of selecting and trying on items in private. Detailed size charts on the site makes it easy to select the best-fitting items.

"They can research all the options and then have it delivered right to their door," Barone says. "It saves tons of walking from store to store to find nothing that they like or want."

Ultimately, Barone says, brides of all shapes and sizes also want to look and feel sexy on their wedding day.

"We have done the research, and found that more and more woman are embracing their curves and their sexuality," Barone says. "They want to look good and feel sexy, and great-looking lingerie is part of that."

[Fashion Job Board @ ElegantPlus.com] Retail students gain valuable store insight

Retail students gain valuable store insight

http://media.www.stoutonia.com/media/storage/paper1199/news/2009/02/19/Entertainment/Retail.Students.Gain.Valuable.Store.Insight-3637282.shtml

Ashley Smolen

It was a perfect day Feb. 6 for retail students to drive the three-hour trip to Duluth, Minn. to visit Maurice's corporate offices. Planned by the Stout Retail Association, eight women and the SRA advisor, Dr. Nancy Murray, toured the offices, which Barb Olson, Maurice's New Store Recruiter, hosted for the women.

Starting out in Maurice's lounge, lunch was provided and several employees from the corporate team introduced themselves and the department they worked for. Barb Olson, along with a recent University of Wisconsin–Stout retail graduate, Dyana Cottingham, were among the employees who presented themselves. After lunch, there was a short presentation, followed by a tour of the departments in the
three buildings.

The main home office building of Maurice's corporate offices housed the first Maurice's retail store, but has been replaced by the buying departments. This is where most of the tour took place, but it began in the second building where a mock store is set up for the Visual Merchandising department. The mock storeroom was presented by Matthew Birong, Visual Experience Manager, who gave a description of his position and his department's position within the company. The visual team has decided that a remodel is in order for many of the stores with new store décor that would look more like a boutique then a regular store.

After the meeting with visual, there was a walk-through of the Wall of Fame and Shame, which displayed the best and the worst merchandise of the season for each department. The group was then taken into a room near the buying offices to speak with a team of buyers, the Fit department and the Quality Analysis department. Barb Olson who spoke about opportunities within the company through internships and recruiting.

Maurice's is a small town specialty store that targets two types of markets. "Katie" is the younger, tween market who wants to feel more grown up while being herself. "Kate" is the older market for college students to adults who wants to feel and look younger while keeping her own style. Maurice's decided to replace its menswear with women's plus sizes 14 – 24. This has been a decision that changed the image of Maurice's, but kept its brand loyalty with its customers. This is seen in the way that Maurice's is still growing strong. It will be opening about 50 new stores in 2009.

This was an opportunity that the retail students thought was definitely worth experiencing. A trip like this is just part of the many activities that Stout Retail Association participates in. The SRA also has speakers come to meetings from retail companies to share their experiences, and has meetings to learn more about internships and study abroad opportunities. Stout Retail Association meets every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in Room 210 of the Applied Arts building. It is a great way to meet other students in the retail major and helps students to get a better understanding of the retail world.

Designs at any size

http://westside-news.whereilive.com.au/lifestyle/story/designs-at-any-size/

PLUS-SIZED women can now buy simple, stylish clothes from Bellbowrie fashion designer Michelle Bent.
Ms Bent, 43, found a niche in the market for "larger women" and about eight weeks ago started designing clothes to fit women ranging from size 14 to 24.
"Larger women are not getting what they want," Ms Bent said. "I really wanted to make something in Australia the average Australian is a size 14."
Ms Bent designs and sews dresses, skirts, pants and tops.
Her label, Bent Creations, is also sold at the South Bank markets.
"I make simple designs with plain fabrics and all my clothes are 100 per cent cotton," she said.
"I'm a size 16, and the bigger you are, the more you feel the heat ... these clothes are perfect for anyone in that situation.
"I am designing for the body; it's not just about fashion."
The line includes lots of black, white and red, but Ms Bent has also introduced a range of bright colours.
* For details, or to view the range, phone Michelle Bent on 0402 821 883.

[Fashion Job Board @ ElegantPlus.com] Plus-Sized Gossip Singer Beth Ditto

Plus-Sized Gossip Singer Beth Ditto Goes Full Monty for Magazine

http://www.popeater.com/music/article/beth-ditto-cover/344169

(Feb. 15) - 'Gossip' singer Beth Ditto, whose powerhouse voice, sexy performances and comfort level in her plus-sized frame have won her fans ranging from Rosie O'Donnell to Keira Knightley, shows off another side of herself for the premiere issue of Love Magazine.
The cover shows off a nude Ditto with some very strategic airbrushing. It marks the second time Ditto has stripped it off for a magazine, first appearing naked on the cover of NME in 2007.

"She says the wrong things. She looks the wrong way. Isn't it confounding and amazing to have an iconic figure who doesn't have a 25-inch waist?" says Love editor Katie Grand. "She is happy with who she is and the way she is."
Ditto has never shied away from addressing her weight or any critics of it. "If there's anyone to blame for size zero, it's not women," she told NME in 2007.
'Blame gay men who work in the fashion industry who want these women as dolls. Men don't know what it feels like to be a woman and be expected to look a particular way. The Beckhams are part of the machine; Paris Hilton is part of the machine."
The fiery Ditto, named one of Spinner's 'Top Women Who Rock,' spoke to the rock site last year while promoting the Gossip's concert album 'Live in Liverpool' about the challenges of weight in rock.
"TV single-handedly ruined good music. Bessie Smith could never be a star now. Aretha Franklin could never be what she was, now. It's the image -- everybody looks really cool, everybody looks amazing. It's the image that people needed to sell to keep TV alive. That's why indie scenes -- punks scenes -- exist, because it's a rebellion against that idea. I feel like bringing up the body is using sexism to my advantage. It's good to get that conversation started. Even amongst feminists, people would be like, "Don't you think [posing nude] is a new kind of sexism?" And I'm like, "Well, at least it's new." I guess it could be the old sexism and we could be the old feminists. But new means change, and change leaves room for dialogue."

[Fashion Job Board @ ElegantPlus.com] Fashion Week kicks off with celeb-studded Heart Truth fashion show

Fashion Week kicks off with celeb-studded runway

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090213/ap_en_ce/fashion_week_heart_truth

By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL, AP Fashion Writer Samantha Critchell, Ap Fashion Writer

NEW YORK – The Heart Truth fashion show — with its parade of celebrities in red frocks — is the industry's Valentine to the public, Tim Gunn of "Project Runway" said as he officially kicked off New York Fashion Week Friday morning.

Katie Couric, Patricia Arquette, Hilary Duff and Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin were among the "models," who donned dresses by the likes of Carmen Marc Valvo, Nicole Miller, Donna Karan and Max Azria to help raise awareness about heart disease. It's become a tradition to open Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week's fall-collection previews with this collaborative, charitable effort.

Jane Kaczmarek, wearing a strapless, fan-top gown by Rafael Cennamo was a first-time catwalker. She told the AP ahead of the show that her biggest concern was tripping.

She did fine, though, collecting cheers and applause, and she scored a coup for her charity Clothes Off Our Back, which auctions clothes worn by celebrities to raise money for children's causes.

Former "Wonder Woman" Lynda Carter, in a one-shoulder Caroline Herrera gown, was another crowd favorite as were Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling of "Beverly Hills, 90210," who shot down the runway one after another. Garth was in flowing Badgley Mischka gown with peek-a-boo white beaded straps and Spelling wore a flirty strapless dress by Betsey Johnson with a black-sash waist and tiers of pleats.

Several top-tier athletes showed off their toned figures: Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard wore a bikini-top gown by Cushnie et Ochs, and skater Kristi Yamaguchi was in a deep-red satin gown by Vera Wang with rosettes on one shoulder.

From his front-row seat, Mark Indelicato, the youngest star of TV's "Ugly Betty," said he thought all the celebrities were an effective way to draw attention to heart disease, but he wasn't quite convinced to switch his wardrobe to red.

"I have a stripe on my sweater and I'm wearing my Red Dress pin, but I'm not really partial to red," he said.

[Fashion Job Board @ ElegantPlus.com] Miss Surrey to scout for next plus-size superstar

Miss Surrey to scout for next plus-size superstar

http://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/s/2044791_miss_surrey_to_scout_for_next_plussize_superstar

By Alan Golden

CRANLEIGH'S Chloe Marshall helped challenge the fashion industry's obsession with size zero models by coming within a whisker of winning last year's Miss England competition.

She was the first size 16 entrant to make it to the final of the contest, eventually finishing second. The teenager also won the Miss Surrey and Miss Teen England titles.

Now Chloe is to join some of the biggest names in the plus-size fashion industry on the judging panel for the Britain's Next Plus Model contest.

Despite the fact that 16 is the average dress size of the British woman, this is rarely reflected in the fashion and advertising industry.

Because of the prevailing situation and the dissatisfaction of hundreds of potential models, who have tried many over-hyped diets, the team at Just As Beautiful Magazine has been bombarded with requests for modelling opportunities.

It was in response to this that the search for Britain's Next Plus Model was launched.

Chloe, a former student at Glebelands School in Cranleigh and Guildford College, said: "I think that having a competition for plus-size models is fantastic.

"It gives us curvy girls a chance to show we can cut it with the rest of them.

"I was lucky enough to break through into modelling and I hope this competition gives someone else a similar opportunity as the modelling industry needs more healthy models."

Chloe will be a judge for the competition with other high-profile notables in the plus-size industry, such as fashion designer, Anna Scholz, and top modelling agent, Cheryl Hughes.

"There are a lot of curvy women who are very beautiful and should be used by both advertisers and designers alike," said Julia Thomas, editor of Just As Beautiful Magazine.

"Sadly, they are deemed too curvy for this purpose.

"What many people don't realise is that if we really want to combat obesity, excluding beautiful curvy women from society will only lead to a lowering of self-confidence and self-esteem, and this could possibly increase comfort eating, which in turn could lead to obesity."

The winner of Britain's Next Plus Model will jet off to Australia on her first assignment – an exotic photo-shoot for City Chic, one of the competition's sponsors, followed by a modelling job for Ms Scholz.

[Fashion Job Board @ ElegantPlus.com] Is Anna Wintour getting softer? Vogue editor styles plus-size Adele

Anna Wintour Styled Adele for the Grammy Awards

http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/02/anna_wintour_styled_adele_for.html

British singer Adele better look brilliant at the Grammy Awards on Sunday. The 20-year-old is nominated for best record for Chasing Pavements and will be shot this week by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue. She stopped by the Vogue office for her final fitting for the shoot. When she was there Anna summoned her.

"It was just like The Devil Wears Prada,' Adele said. Then Wintour offered to style her for the Grammies, she added in disbelief. "I got a really nice dress," Adele said. "I don't ever wear dresses. I wear dresses with tights and flat shoes and a cardigan. But I am going to get my boobs out and everything. It's going to be quite a big deal."

Going to be? Already is, honey. We wonder if Anna does this sort of thing all the time when celebrities come by. We know it's a side hobby of André Leon Talley's. Is he getting some last-minute sun in St. Barths before Fashion Week?

[Fashion Job Board @ ElegantPlus.com] "Half-price" models tighten their belts

"Half-price" models tighten their belts

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090202/lf_nm_life/us_financial_france_models

PARIS (Reuters) – Free designer dresses, an army of admirers and $15,000 to stroll down a catwalk: no wonder thousands of teenage girls aspire to being a top model.

But at the haute couture shows in Paris, the leggy blondes in silk dresses who advertise a life of luxury are finding their world turned inside out by the economic crisis.

"Half price! It's half-price everywhere, in Milan, even in New York," cried Anna Chyzh, a 23-year-old from Kiev who had just changed out of a Stephane Rolland haute couture gown into jeans and was headed to the next show.

Like many models from Ukraine, Russia and the Balkans, Chyzh regularly sends money home to support her mother, a freelance interior designer who is having trouble finding work because of the downturn.

"She says, Anna, you have to help me now. So we have to work for Mum, we cannot refuse any contracts now," she added before disappearing in a swarm of equally blonde and skinny girls.

Shunned by scrimping shoppers amid rising unemployment and fears of a long, deep recession, retailers across the board have cut profit forecasts and marketing budgets.

Even larger luxury goods groups are feeling the pain. Richemont, the Swiss firm behind Montblanc pens and Cartier watches, announced earlier this year it saw no signs of a recovery after third-quarter sales missed forecasts.

Magazine publishers from Conde Nast, which owns Vogue, to Time Inc are seeing advertising sales dive, and the New York Times has said it expects sales to deteriorate further.

At the January fashion shows in Paris and Milan, a prime advertising opportunity for luxury brands, designers hired fewer models than last year. Models and agents are feeling the pinch.

CATWALK ANOMALIES

At Premier Model Management in London, an agency that has represented Claudia Schiffer, clients who used to pay a daily rate of 3,000 pounds ($4,200) are now arriving with a budget of 1,500 pounds, director Aidan Jean-Marie told Reuters.

To weather the crisis, agencies are adjusting their mix of so-called "commercial models," who attract a steady stream of low-key jobs such as catalog shoots, and pricier "image models" who appear on catwalks and magazine covers.

"You need both sides to survive the downturn, but the balance shifts slightly toward the commercial models," said Jean-Marie. "The catwalk girls are not your day-to-day girls, they are anomalies, with measurements they had when they were 16 and still have at 18."

Karen Diamond, director at Models 1, the agency of supermodel Agyness Deyn, expects the full impact of the crisis to hit later this year since advertising budgets and show schedules are planned far in advance.

"Clients will go with established models rather than giving new faces a break, and it'll be tough for new girls," she said.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the arrival of the internet, modeling has turned into one of the most competitive and globalized job markets.

Today, a teenager from a tiny village in Eastern Europe, inspired by beauty pageants and television shows such as "America's Next Top Model," may e-mail her photo to an agent and find herself lifted to overnight fame.

But in general, the lucky few who secure an agent are still a long way from succeeding. Diamond said half of the models her agency hires do not make it to the next stage as their teenage bodies fill out, or they decide to focus on their education.

The ones who do reach the top -- not counting stars like Kate Moss or Naomi Campbell -- can make $500,000 a year.

GLAMOUR CRISIS

Backstage at the Christian Lacroix haute couture show, such top models in pink puffball skirts, taffeta jackets and ruched dresses tower over a throng of stylists and photographers.

Minders help them cross the room on precariously high stiletto heels, make-up artists dab extra powder on their faces, assistants warn that the show is about to begin.

"Give me everything you got, baby!" a photographer shouts at a posing and pouting blonde in a froth of tulle.

The mood is exuberant, but some have secret worries.

"I'm having some doubt now because of this situation. We all do it for the money so if there is no more money, maybe I should go back and focus on my studies," said Georgina Stojiljkovic, a 19-year-old from Serbia with feline, scowling looks.

She put her degree in political science on hold a year ago to work full-time and shares part of her fees with her family.

"There is still more money in this than almost any other job. I earn more than my parents -- it's kind of sad, they went to school and have worked for years," she told Reuters.

Suddenly looking serious, she said the crisis may be a good thing if it forced her to finish her university degree.

Anna Chyzh, the Ukrainian model, hopes her friends in the fashion industry will help her find other work if the phone stops ringing.

Recruited as teenagers, with little experience in anything other than smiling at cameras, many full-time models interviewed at the shows did not have alternative plans but worried about work drying up.

Others said they had seen worse.

Talk of the downturn elicits a mere shrug and smile from Pablo Ballay, a lanky 23-year-old male model from Argentina at the Dior menswear show.

"A lot of models here are from Argentina, and when you live in that kind of country you live in a continuous crisis," he said backstage after the show. "So you see how well people live here and you say, what, this is a crisis?"

[Fashion Job Board @ ElegantPlus.com] US: Denim jeans market report

US: Denim jeans market fraying at the edges - research

http://www.just-style.com/article.aspx?id=103175

Sales of jeans in the US have been driven by the popularity of premium denim in the last few years, including the extension of premium denim brands onto kids' racks, but sales are expected to slide over the next few years a recent report says.

Denim jeans make up one of the most fragmented, but also one of the most lucrative sectors of the apparel industry, with products aimed at men, women, teens and infants.

Denim jeans accounted for US$5.2bn of the US$15bn bottoms market in 2006, according to report author Koncept Analytics, but a decline in the market in 2007 is seen as the start of a downward trend that is likely to continue in coming years.

Sales of women's jeans among 25 to 34 year-olds fell a sizeable 15.3% to US$1.09bn in the 12 months through March 2007, says the 'US Denim Jeans Market Report: 2008 Edition'.

The most significant growth is coming in the 55- to 64-year-old age group, with sales rising 15.2% to US$592.5m.

In recent years market growth has also been driven by demand for premium denim - jeans priced at more than US$100.

The worldwide premium denim market is estimated at US$4bn, with the women's segment growing at 37% in 2007 and men's up 34% in the same period.

The extension of premium denim brands onto kids' racks is part of the wider trend of luxury marketing pervading nearly every corner of the consumer marketplace. The top end of the children's market has seen the biggest sales gains over the past two years, the report says.

By age, sale of jeans wear have increased significantly in the age groups of 13-17 and 25-34 years. By volume, it is the men's/boy's jeans shipment market which is almost double when compared with that of the women's/girl's jeans shipments in US.

Growth opportunities
As well as cashing in on premium denim, many retailers and brands are looking at new ways to grow their businesses and enhance customer loyalty.

Many denim companies are adopting new technologies to improve productivity and lower environmental impact.

Others have chosen to focus on different body shapes, such as developing plus-size designs and offering a variety of fits for larger customers. In the US, nearly 62% of adult women are overweight or obese.

Another trend is that of online shopping, with the Internet serving as an important tool for both purchasing and researching apparel.

The report studies major market segments such as women's, men's and kids' denim jeans.

It also analyses the import/export pattern in the US and profiles the leading players in the US market, including VF Corp, Levis Strauss, Lee Jeans, Gap and Wrangler.

[Fashion Job Board @ ElegantPlus.com] Macy's to cut 7,000 jobs, slash dividend

Macy's to cut 7,000 jobs, slash dividend

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090202/ap_on_bi_ge/macy_s_job_cuts

NEW YORK – Macy's Inc. announced Monday that it will cut 7,000 jobs, almost 4 percent of its work force, reduce its contributions to its employees' retirement funds and slash its dividend to preserve cash amid a severe pullback in consumer spending.

The Cincinnati-based department store chain also delivered bleak earnings and sales forecasts for the year.

Macy's said the cuts, which include some unfilled jobs and 1,900 positions being eliminated in a restructuring now under way nationwide, will come at corporate offices, stores and other locations. The company employs about 180,000 people.

Macy's announced last month — on the heels of the worst holiday shopping season in decades — that it would close 11 stores, affecting 960 employees. The company expects the additional actions announced Monday to lower its annual selling, general and administrative expenses about $400 million starting in 2010.

The company also slashed its quarterly dividend to 5 cents from 13.25 cents. The dividend will be paid on April 1 to shareholders of record March 13.

Department stores have been especially hard-hit by the poor economy as shoppers cut spending and turn to discount stores. Last month, Fresno, Calif.-based department store chain Gottschalks Inc. put itself up for sale and said it had filed to reorganize in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Dallas-based Neiman Marcus Group Inc. said this month that it was cutting about 375 jobs, or 3 percent of its work force.

Macy's announced the national rollout of a plan to localize merchandising to specific markets and said it would integrate all its geographic divisions into a single unit.

It began testing the localization strategy in 20 regional markets last spring and expects the reorganization to be complete beginning in the second quarter.

As part of the restructuring, Macy's central buying, planning and senior management and marketing functions will be located primarily in New York.

Corporate-related businesses functions such as finance, human resources, legal, property development and company purchases will be located primarily in Cincinnati.

Macy's said it expects to earn between 40 cents and 55 cents, excluding one-time costs, for the year that ends next January.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters project earnings of 87 cents per share.

The company predicts its same-stores sales or sales at stores opened at least a year will fall between 6 percent and 8 percent in the year that ends in January 2010. Same-store sales are considered a key indicator of a retailer's health.
