Anthropologie Clothes My First Impressions

Clothes

Urban Outfitters seems to be a popular name in retailing, but it wasn’t until last week that I was introduced to Anthropologie. If you haven’t heard, seen, or been in an Anthropologie store, you are missing an experience, I kid you not.
After returning from the store, I dug up some numbers that shocked me. Here’s one that really left an impression: the average Anthropologie shopper spends 80 minutes in the store per trip. Eighty — that’s 1 hour, 20 minutes on each visit. Can you guess how much time the average shopper spends at other retailers? Fifteen minutes. That’s an incredible figure that should describe a bit about the feel of the stores.
Anthropologie was founded to capitalize on patrons of the Urban Outfitters store who outgrew UA’s fashions. As such, the target market for Anthropologie clothing is a 30 to 40’ish sophisticated woman with high discretionary income. Not a bad niche to target!
Ask ten women what they think of Anthropologie and you’ll likely get . . . one opinion! Almost unanimously, people love the store, but aren’t crazy about the prices. Granted, they are high, but for good reason. Anthropologie is extremely selective and exclusive with their clothing lines, and just about everything you find in a store is a limited edition run. Heck, they even have a good number of one-of-a-kind pieces!
These items tend to fly off of the shelves, leaving oddball items scattered about, but that leads to an opportunity for shoppers: namely, sales racks. There are quite a few discounted items if you’re not against searching, which I’m sure contributes to the long shopping visits.
What impresses me the most about Anthropologie clothes is the distinctive styling. Their clothes include a lot of flowery prints, laces, and delicate details, but look classy and sophisticated at the same time. The feeling that I get is that it’s a clothing line for beautiful women who don’t feel they need to reveal half of their bodies to look attractive. Home run, I’d say.
If you’re really looking for a bargain, you can find discount Anthropologie clothing online – not through the Anthropologie store, but through other retailers. I can’t imagine that these items are wholesale, and with the high turnover in clothing, I would doubt it’s made up of last season’s items either, but the price is attractive!
Here’s the bottom line: if you haven’t yet shopped in an Anthropologie store, find out if there’s one in the vicinity. It really is a great shopping experience. But beware of the prices!

Doing Business In Italy

Business

While doing business in Europe it is extremely important to be aware of the cross-culture differences. Bearing in mind the cultural influences of a country are crucial for the success of your business. Are you planning to start out a new venture in Italy? Are you apprehensive about getting along with your clients in Italy?

Well here is a list of things to keep in mind to do business the Italian way:

1.Good manners and politesse are held in high regard in Italy. They prefer to deal with people who are polished but not uptight. So it is important to maintain some distance while having a professional conversation, but at the same time it is vital to be courteous. Too much resistance may be perceived as a sign of snooty or cold behavior.

2.Make sure to shake hands at the commencement and at the end of all rendezvous, this implies for group meetings as well. Italians are warm people; so dont be surprised if the greeting switches from a handshake to an embrace after a while. In fact, treat it as a positive sign; it indicates that their comfort level has gone up.

3.Remember that Italy is one of the most fashionable countries in the world. Home to some of the most coveted fashion labels, this place is about looking stylish and being well-dressed. So unpolished shoes and shabby wrinkled shirts are big no-nos.

4.Italians are relaxed most of the times, however, dont be surprised if your client turns up little late for the meeting. And in case you are running late for the meeting, make sure to give them a heads up.

5.With a slightly unconventional approach to doing business, Italians believe in combining business with pleasure. So inviting your clients for lunch or dinner is a good idea. You can take the consent of your senior client, as to who all should be invited for the meal. And by all means, do not decline any invitations; it is a great chance to network and expand your business.

6.If you happen to have any other clients in Italy, you can use your networking skills to introducing yourself; it builds the trust factor. Also, refrain from fixing any meetings between noon to 2pm, as Italians like enjoying their meal at leisure.

7.While trying to break the ice during the first few minutes of the meeting, take a relaxed approach. Dont just get down to business instead talk about casual stuff like Italian food, culture, etc. When you submit your proposal make sure to give as much information about the company and your services as possible.

8.Give the potential client time to go through the proposal. Stay in touch but dont be too pushy, as that can be viewed as rudeness.

Understanding cross-culture differences will take you a long way in doing business in Italy, and help you and your business expand and succeed tremendously.

So are you ready to do an Italian Job?

Of course, back in 1880 jeans were considered to be clothes for workers and their price never got higher than 22 cents, afterwards they used to be worn mostly by students and represent an indispensable attribute of picnics in the country, but all this is past now. Today jeans can be seen ar cocktail parties, in offices and even on the Red carpet. Together with high quality watches, luxurious cars and jewelry custom tailored jeans have become to a symbol of status, which importance is not dependant on world fashion trends.

Their way in the world of high society started probably in the 1970s and 1980s with the help of Calvin Klein and Gloria Wanderbild, who created the first expensive and skinny designer jeans. However, the real jeans revolution happened in Japan. Evisu and 45rpm brands made an accent on the unusual quality of denim, its finishing and indigo dying process. Selvage denim is today the most demanded type of jeans fabric among the worlds most established brands. Some of the pants manufactured from it cost $300 to $1.500 and their production lasts up to several years.

The trend was later developed in Europe and America. Chanel, Tom Ford, Gucci fashion houses as well as many others started to design custom jeans – with cuts, feathers and African beads which cost $3134 for a pair, A Guinness Book record back then. Of course, today the prices grow further.

American brand A.P.O. Jeans makes custom jeans on a by-order basis ad their prices are above $4000. These jeans are sewn from high quality denim manufactured in India, back pockets are embellished with satin with printed customer name and the number indicating exclusive nature of the jeans model. This principle is known in exclusive jewelry manufacture, where you can find the owner of a jewelry piece by model number.

Jeans are simple, elegant and sexy. However, simple doesnt always mean cheap.
