2/9/2014 - The China Edit | ‘KOLs’, Rutson Exits Lane Crawford, Hermès, Luxe Tailors

The China Edit is a weekly curation of the most important fashion business news and analysis from and about the world’s largest luxury market. “Op-Ed | Digging For Diamonds Among China’s ‘KOLs’” (The Business of Fashion) “Engaging local influencers, or Key Opinion Leaders (‘KOLs’), has long been a useful marketing tool for luxury brands active in the China market. With big-ticket purchases motivated largely by recommendations from friends, celebrities and popular bloggers, self-proclaimed influencers have turned sponsored Weibo posts, event appearances and paid photo shoots into full-time jobs.” “More Mega-Change in the Retail World: Sarah Rutson Leaves Lane Crawford” (The New York Times) “Another major shake-up is in the works in the world of global department stores: After 21 years, Sarah Rutson, fashion director of Lane Crawford, Asia’s most recognizable luxury emporium, is leaving to ‘pursue new personal opportunities,’ according to an announcement from the store.” “Hermès Posts Rise in Profit, Despite Slowing Sales in China” (The New York Times) “Hermès, along with other purveyors of high-end fashion and luxury goods, like Burberry of Britain and Richemont, the Swiss conglomerate that owns Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, have begun to feel the pinch of a slowdown in spending on luxury goods in mainland China, one of the world’s largest markets for such goods, as the government in Beijing has cracked down on lavish gift-giving.” “China the Perfect Fit for London’s $6,000 Luxe Tailors” (CNBC) “The traditional royal green and wooden décor of some shops contrasts with some of the newer stores revealing the legacy of the Row whose reach expands to the U.S. But now the master tailors are looking towards China to tap the growing appetite for bespoke suits in world’s second-largest economy.” “Wanda, Tencent and Baidu Take on Alibaba with $814M E-Commerce Deal” (Bloomberg) “Dalian Wanda Group, China’s biggest commercial land developer, is joining with Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Baidu Inc. to form the 5 billion yuan ($813 million) venture. Wanda will have a 70 percent stake while the other two companies will own 15 percent each, Wanda said in a statement.”Also Read: short prom dresses uk | bridesmaid dresses 2014 uk

27/8/2014 - How to Get Girls Into Engineering?

When Alice Brooks and Bettina Chen met in 2010, both were in engineering master's programs at Stanford University—mechanical and electrical, respectively. But there weren't many other women around. Chatting about why there were so few female engineers, the pair realized that they had both grown up with toys that encouraged them to build and make things, rather than traditional toys for girls. Ms. Brooks, now 26, received a saw for Christmas at the age of 8; Ms. Chen, now 25, had similar experiences with do-it-yourself playthings. "I made dolls out of wood, nails, and paint, learning to make mistakes and to find a way around them," Ms. Brooks recalls. The friends agreed it would be great if there were toys aimed at nudging girls toward tinkering and eventually into engineering. In May 2012 they launched a campaign on Kickstarter to fund the development of their toys, which they dubbed Roominate. The idea: Girls get a set of pastel-colored pieces that they can assemble into a building or any other type of structure. Once the building is built, they can decorate it with the included paper and other embellishments and use the motor to add electrical appliances, fans or anything else that uses power. On the fifth day of the partners' crowd-funding campaign, their company, Maykah Inc., hit its goal; the project eventually ended up pulling in triple the amount of money that they had requested. They also raised a round of funding from angel investors last year. This fall, the company plans to launch five new Roominate products in a range of big retailers, including Toys R Us. The kits are already sparking creativity. One girl emailed the company a photo of her version of the Golden Gate Bridge; another made a dog hotel with a pool and balcony, using the motor included with the kit to fashion a cotton-candy machine. "We want them to see the kit, get excited about making something, and come up with something even cooler than we've shown them," Ms. Brooks says.cheap prom dresses uk | Fashion Andyprom
