What takes your breath away more then a failed quality test? I must tell you, it is really a horrible feeling. As designers or product development personnel, we strive to design a fabulous collection. After the design phase is complete, we proceed to obtain orders from our fine retail accounts. As soon as we have orders in hand, we proceed diligently thru the process of lab dips, strike offs, fit review etc. Not a stone is left unturned as we glide thru the management of the production process.

The beginning of a new season, proto sampling deadlines, endless coordination with fabric suppliers and garment vendors to stick to the dates to make sure the samples reach in time for the ‘ oh so important meeting’, and above all costings, costings, costings..If you are a merchandiser in the apparel arena, you can relate to the above.A period of crazily hectic activity, and pressures mounting from all sides...buyers, suppliers, bosses...But there is some excite

What Happened to Wide Leg Jeans?

Their Long and Lean jean is flared. Curvy and Low Rise Boot Cut are boot cut. They have backed off completely from the wide leg jean.

It stands to reason, since boot cut and flared jeans are so figure-flattering, slimming the th
