Fashion Shop Central is closed

  A women's apparel company will close its branch Nelson focus on Richmond, becoming the third

as a retailer to leave the city, in the last month.

Ballentynes ​​Fashion Central on St bridge on 8 End of May with family holiday stores and its

direct customers of the Richmond store on Queen Street

Marketing Manager Michael Ballentyne said they had moved the business from its previous

location at the corner of Trafalgar St, and since he did not have the level of trade they were

received.

Three employees lose their jobs, but most of the staff was on a contract after longtime

manager left last year, and they knew that there is always a possibility.

"We have some of the people in times that does not work as well for them, and they actually

return to work for us because they knew us in trouble.

"They were more than happy to walk you through what could have made in a long-term thing and

that could be a short term thing to help, and it turns out that it was a short term thing."

The movement had the good sense at the time, the store went to a cost to the St bridge

construction law have to pay.

"As a family, which owns the property, you can choose to re-let it. It keeps all options

open."

They had already signed the lease for the building of St. bridge to a new company, but it did

not mean it.

The company has 30 branches throughout the country, and opened his shop in Richmond in the

mid-1990s, and there are about seven years Nelson branch.

It was "seismic changes" to the total retail in the last four or five years, he caused a

"rationalization".

"We are doing OK, but to justify two stores in a relatively small market is difficult. Through

consolidating them in what we hope for most of our customers that shop with us always in

Richmond than before."

Their records showed that most people buy in both places, perhaps a reflection of the size of

the city, he said.

It would not be closing a sale, the company would not be ditching shares, he said.

"That's why we use the term fusion."

This is the third distributor of women to leave the city last month, with K & K Fashions and

Miller's Fashion Club after close.

Single Nelson CEO Cathy Madigan said she felt for the retailer to the top of the St Bridge,

which had a lot to do because of the environment disco and "leftovers" in the morning.

Since these bars were closed during the day, he created an empty pocket there discouraged

pedestrian traffic.

"Many companies, until the upper end of the bridge is St when they leave on deadline, it is a

struggle."

It is disappointing as women fashion stores closed this year, but that does not mean that the

industry was in trouble, she said.

"Women's fashion is probably one of the most important categories in the city of Nelson, then

inevitably, it is the area that it may, if it suffers closures looks.

"Normally, if it's the ebb and flow influenced various categories of retail, but this time he

just seems had the luck of the draw, it was a number of fashion retailers."

style blogging wunderkind Tavi takes a break from fashion to be 16

  Tavi matures as Benjamin Button in the blogosphere: from a tastemaker supernatural disciplined writer and a young girl spending time with her boyfriend and wants to explore other interests. Finally, the proof that it is a real teenager!

The young woman Gevinson vaulted to fame in 2008 when she was 11 with her first blog, The Style Rookie. Transport the new perspective of a juvenile with a penchant for fashion houses like Rodarte, the site appeals to the reader, and it quickly became a face of the regular Fashion Week. Worn granny chic aesthetic to Tavi sweaters and long skirts with gray hair and a hint of skin fascinated an industry that usually young love. In 2011, they created the Rookie of the online magazine, a nostalgic website confessional, she runs from her home in Oak Park, Illinois. Hardhitting media observers Lady Gaga has even considered him "the future of journalism."

But the 11-year-old, who has dressed as a septuagenarian grown to become a teenager who apply pleasant to own sensitivity to traditional age-appropriate activities. Now a junior in high school, she plans to take a year off after graduation before she heads to college.

In an interview with Adweek, Tavi says she wants to expand its interests of a single-minded focus on fashion "culture in general." Earlier this month celebrated The Style Rookie (operating system more than a personal blog of Tavi, or "blob" in his terms) with its founders approached his fifth birthday with a warm disinterest:

Sunday was the fifth anniversary of the blob here that I neglected in recent months in the interest of the rookie, school, friends, sleep and other things. Besides the fact that I do not feel like I have much to say, or rather, now I prefer to say it in private. My most recent log is my favorite thing I've ever done, and no one will ever see.

Tavi is tired of fashion? She said she wants to Adweek to stay involved with a rookie, even if they do not read every piece before it was published. Later in the month, they will try their hand at an after party mixer Museum of Chicago. Although it does not seem to have completely given up a style blogging, she conceded: This teen reserves the right to change his mind "message from rookie was what interests you, and you do not have to do anything for anyone.".

The 30 best fashion collaborations of all time

   Cooperation has always existed. Real always recognize real, and people want to work with their friends, or at least people with a vision and a similar mentality. From music to clothes, creative minds approximation usually performs pretty dope stuff.

But similar to the musical collaborations sometimes no market fashion collaborations are difficult to master. On the one hand, it must be a full feeling or off-the-wall that no one will ever see. The drawings might have to take both brands to a level on its own reach, or use the power of the brand to reflect say the script on the meaning and perception, is a luxury brand of luxury, even if it works with a streetwear brand? Sport is supposed to do still if it is made by a designer?

Certainly has no other term care of the post-collaboration over the Internet Hypebeast culture. Back in the day, was screen printing Seditionaries relationships with Vivienne Westwood Malcolm McLaren a collaboration with security, but not in the way we think today. Ditto done for early employee Stussy with labels such as Tommy Boy. We define a "cooperative manner" as a new brand or a collection of two (or more) separate entities (companies, brand, store or designer) made. Special make-up done by a manufacturer as Alden Gitman Vintage or not this account is not working, it is design by numbers.
