His name is Michael Stoney. Michael launched dug (down under gear), a male intimate apparel line in 2004, with multi-million dollar backers who took ownership of his brand, sold it in Macy's and placed it in movies from Soul Food to Biker Boyz, to Toni Braxton videos. Unhappy with the directions his investors pressured him to pursue and the box they made him fit into, under their existing business structure, Michael agreed to shelf his brand and start over his way. He spent the next couple years courting designers and interviewing heads of other successful companies who could potentially help him build his brand from the ground up. He bought his brand, dug (down under gear) back from its multi-million dollar owner, partnered with an American manufacturer in North Carolina, built a team of like-minded entrepreneurs to head up the various aspects of the business, secured investors, and with a relentless desire to launch his brand of men's intimate apparel, getting men dressed from down under, inspiring them to dig deep for great causes and support apparel Constructed in America, Michael released dug this past fall, 2010. Starting with an exclusive online store, <a href="http://www.duglife.com">www.duglife.com</a> where he features everyday men and fathers diggin' deep with their real life children, as the first set of male models, he shows that he's truly here to help men of all walks of life. <br /><br />We're use to men's under wear advertised on men with six packs and big bulges in your face. While that's all well and good for a woman's eye, Michael wanted to do something different and market in a way that speaks to men as well as women who admire men with a higher purpose; Men of all shapes and sizes who appreciate comfort. Have you ever realized you were missing the detail after putting on a pair of glasses or looking through a magnifying glass? Michael knew that men would realize the luxury of comfort, and confidence they'd exude, when wearing matching dug lounge and under gear or more intimately termed "His Secret". He's giving sight to men and inspiring them to pick up a shovel, wear it on their hip and chest while diggin' deeper for whatever drives their passions, whether it be kids, work, a wife, family, military, helping others, etc. To also show his strong drive to stay true to his own passions, Michael took on the extra cost of having all of his core line made in America. This 40 something, young man is making it happen, and getting men dressed comfortably, starting with what he wears closest to his heart and skin, and he's doing it successfully, one body at a time.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.duglife.com">http://www.duglife.com</a><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8842849461,original{{/staticFileLink}}"></a></p></div>The Flower Power + April's Most Wantedhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/the-flower-power-aprils-most2010-04-17T15:07:35.000Z2010-04-17T15:07:35.000ZFustanyhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/Fustany<div><p align="center"><a href="http://www.fustany.com"><font size="5">www.fustany.com</font></a></p><p align="center"></p><p style="text-align:center;"><img alt="" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8842752698,original{{/staticFileLink}}" /></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:left;">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><span style="color:rgb(51,102,255);"><span style="font-size:medium;"><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Flower Power + Most Wanted<br /></span></b></span></span></p><p></p><p><a href="http://www.fustany.com/web/trends/trends01.php" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><font color="#0066CC">The Flower Power -</font></span></a> A season we love and welcome with latest & hippest trends.

During Toronto Fashion Week, all social media was forbidden during events and shows; organizers blamed weak ticket sales for this shortsighted decision. The media (traditional and “new”) and readers agreed that wasn’t the way to go and some critics even went as far as to say it set the industry back several years.As we discussed in <a href="http://fashionablymarketing.me/2009/09/fashion-industry-adopting-social-media/" target="_blank">“Fashionably Late to the Party“</a>, it’s only to a brand’s, retailer’s or event’s advantage to leverage the power and the speed with which information is spread across social networks. The fear of relinquishing control of the brand message is what continues to fuel rejection of social mediums. What fashion industry professionals don’t understand is that by empowering and joining social communities, they are actually gaining back some of that control by being able to respond in real time to criticism or critiques.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_McQueen" target="_blank">Alexander McQueen</a> made a <a href="http://the-coveted.com/blog/2009/10/05/alexander-mcqueen-online-ss10-live/#comments" target="_blank">bold decision</a> during NYFW S/S 2010 to live stream his show straight from the runways. By being able to stream quality video and encouraging shareability, McQueen is attempting to replace the low quality <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">YouTube</a> videos. Replacing lower quality, amateur style video is a smart decision because it:1. Lowers the barrier between the industry and consumers, everyone gets the same picture and preview; not some get it now and some get it after the fact.2. As consumers, we’re thrilled to watch an exclusive show in real time, as it shows the brand values our opinions, we are more likely to purchase it, especially if it’s available in a timely manner.3. We are watching and salivating over beautiful fashions in high-quality video, the way it’s meant to be seen, which preserves the brand equity as synonymous with haute couture and high quality.4. We love the experience so much that we will share the archives and blog / tweet about them. All of this is going to increases McQueen’s visibility, brand recognition and raising “cool points” with the Internet generation.Alexander McQueen Twitter Search Snapshot<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://fashionablymarketing.me/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Snapshot-2009-10-08-11-15-40.jpg" width="400" alt="Snapshot-2009-10-08-11-15-40.jpg" /></p>So what actually happened when McQueen streamed his show on Tuesday? <a href="http://twitter.com/ladygaga" target="_blank">LadyGaGa</a>, who has more than 1 million followers tweeted that her song “Bad Romance” was debuting at the show, and her fans essentially crashed the site. He made a great decision to make the show available for the <a href="http://alexandermcqueenlive.showstudio.com/" target="_blank">post-event playback</a>, and millions of people around the world were able to see it. However, the chatter surrounding the event and viewers’ reactions was incredible on <a href="http://twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. The screenshot to the left shows Twitter search results going 100 pages deep for just one day (to see the high-res image, just click the screenshot). Even though the reaction was varied, ranging from “McQueen is a visionary” to “McQueen hates women. Are we back to female foot binding?” In the end, McQueen succeeded in creating tremendous buzz by opening up his show to the “masses” in his attempt to democratize the world of fashion. <b>How McQueen could have made the experience even better:</b>The streaming interface was sorely missing community and sharing options. To really take the most advantage of the public’s attention, McQueen should’ve made sharing (the real time video and the archives) painfully easy; piggybacking on existing social network login credentials. Using existing credentials is very important, having to create a proprietary login account would slow down and maybe even prevent the ability and desire to share. Moreover, the site would’ve benefited tremendously from community features. Viewers should be able to comment and chat with each other about what they are seeing. This would have increased engagement during and after the event. People would have been “chattering” all around the web and McQueen could have provided a designation to do that around the runway show. The live feedback and responses on the destination site could have provided invaluable market research.For more online retail marketing strategies, visit <a href="http://www.fashionablymarketing.me" target="_blank">FashionablyMarketing.ME</a><p></p></div>Friendship Day 2014 Best Quotes and Stories That Inspire Youhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/friendship-day-2014-best-quotes-and-stories-that-inspire-you2014-08-02T11:48:09.000Z2014-08-02T11:48:09.000ZRichard Finchhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/RichardFinch<div><p><iframe width="597" height="486" src="//www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/37595315" frameborder="0"></iframe></p><div style="margin-bottom:5px;"><strong><a href="https://www.slideshare.net/thbakerjewellers/friendship-day-2014-best-quotes-and-stories-that-inspire-you" title="Friendship Day 2014 Best Quotes And Stories That Inspire You" target="_blank">Friendship Day 2014 Best Quotes And Stories That Inspire You</a></strong> from <strong><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/thbakerjewellers" target="_blank">T.

This 40 something, young man is making it happen, and getting men dressed comfortably, starting with what he wears closest to his heart and skin, and he's doing it successfully, one body at a time.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.duglife.com">http://www.duglife.com</a><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8842849461,original{{/staticFileLink}}"></a></p></div>The Flower Power + April's Most Wantedhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/the-flower-power-aprils-most2010-04-17T15:07:35.000Z2010-04-17T15:07:35.000ZFustanyhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/Fustany<div><p align="center"><a href="http://www.fustany.com"><font size="5">www.fustany.com</font></a></p><p align="center"></p><p style="text-align:center;"><img alt="" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8842752698,original{{/staticFileLink}}" /></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:left;">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><span style="color:rgb(51,102,255);"><span style="font-size:medium;"><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Flower Power + Most Wanted<br /></span></b></span></span></p><p></p><p><a href="http://www.fustany.com/web/trends/trends01.php" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><font color="#0066CC">The Flower Power -</font></span></a> A season we love and welcome with latest & hippest trends.

During Toronto Fashion Week, all social media was forbidden during events and shows; organizers blamed weak ticket sales for this shortsighted decision. The media (traditional and “new”) and readers agreed that wasn’t the way to go and some critics even went as far as to say it set the industry back several years.As we discussed in <a href="http://fashionablymarketing.me/2009/09/fashion-industry-adopting-social-media/" target="_blank">“Fashionably Late to the Party“</a>, it’s only to a brand’s, retailer’s or event’s advantage to leverage the power and the speed with which information is spread across social networks. The fear of relinquishing control of the brand message is what continues to fuel rejection of social mediums. What fashion industry professionals don’t understand is that by empowering and joining social communities, they are actually gaining back some of that control by being able to respond in real time to criticism or critiques.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_McQueen" target="_blank">Alexander McQueen</a> made a <a href="http://the-coveted.com/blog/2009/10/05/alexander-mcqueen-online-ss10-live/#comments" target="_blank">bold decision</a> during NYFW S/S 2010 to live stream his show straight from the runways. By being able to stream quality video and encouraging shareability, McQueen is attempting to replace the low quality <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">YouTube</a> videos. Replacing lower quality, amateur style video is a smart decision because it:1. Lowers the barrier between the industry and consumers, everyone gets the same picture and preview; not some get it now and some get it after the fact.2. As consumers, we’re thrilled to watch an exclusive show in real time, as it shows the brand values our opinions, we are more likely to purchase it, especially if it’s available in a timely manner.3. We are watching and salivating over beautiful fashions in high-quality video, the way it’s meant to be seen, which preserves the brand equity as synonymous with haute couture and high quality.4. We love the experience so much that we will share the archives and blog / tweet about them. All of this is going to increases McQueen’s visibility, brand recognition and raising “cool points” with the Internet generation.Alexander McQueen Twitter Search Snapshot<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://fashionablymarketing.me/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Snapshot-2009-10-08-11-15-40.jpg" width="400" alt="Snapshot-2009-10-08-11-15-40.jpg" /></p>So what actually happened when McQueen streamed his show on Tuesday? <a href="http://twitter.com/ladygaga" target="_blank">LadyGaGa</a>, who has more than 1 million followers tweeted that her song “Bad Romance” was debuting at the show, and her fans essentially crashed the site. He made a great decision to make the show available for the <a href="http://alexandermcqueenlive.showstudio.com/" target="_blank">post-event playback</a>, and millions of people around the world were able to see it. However, the chatter surrounding the event and viewers’ reactions was incredible on <a href="http://twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. The screenshot to the left shows Twitter search results going 100 pages deep for just one day (to see the high-res image, just click the screenshot). Even though the reaction was varied, ranging from “McQueen is a visionary” to “McQueen hates women. Are we back to female foot binding?” In the end, McQueen succeeded in creating tremendous buzz by opening up his show to the “masses” in his attempt to democratize the world of fashion. <b>How McQueen could have made the experience even better:</b>The streaming interface was sorely missing community and sharing options. To really take the most advantage of the public’s attention, McQueen should’ve made sharing (the real time video and the archives) painfully easy; piggybacking on existing social network login credentials. Using existing credentials is very important, having to create a proprietary login account would slow down and maybe even prevent the ability and desire to share. Moreover, the site would’ve benefited tremendously from community features. Viewers should be able to comment and chat with each other about what they are seeing. This would have increased engagement during and after the event. People would have been “chattering” all around the web and McQueen could have provided a designation to do that around the runway show. The live feedback and responses on the destination site could have provided invaluable market research.For more online retail marketing strategies, visit <a href="http://www.fashionablymarketing.me" target="_blank">FashionablyMarketing.ME</a><p></p></div>
