  • Having fun with Moschino: A designer takes a bow - International Herald Tribune
    MILAN: A front row filled with stuffed animals, an invitation made from a napkin tied around a set of silverware, and an open delivery truck with runway models flowing out of the back are just a few examples of how the Moschino brand continues to harness humor in the name of fashion. For the past 25 years, the company has prospered with a foundation of irreverence, fun and a surrealist frivolity that runs counter to the way slick, big-business fashion functions today. And its creative director, Rossella Jardini, wouldn't have it any other way.
  • WRAPUP 1-Canadian retailers' results rise despite hard times | Industries | Consumer Goods & Retail | Reuters
    TORONTO, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Two of Canada's top retailers reported a jump in third-quarter results on Thursday as same-store sales climbed despite the effects of a global economic downturn.
  • Shop Till You Drop, Please - Forbes.com
    Hopes for a Halloween and pre-holiday shopping surge in October dwindled on Thursday as retailers across the price spectrum reported sinking sales ahead of the crucial holiday shopping season.
  • What Sells During An Economic Downturn | JC Report
    As recession fears grow stronger by the day, there's no question that the fashion world is feeling the vertigo of the stock market roller coaster. Last week alone, Women's Wear Daily reported that US retailers are cutting orders by an average of 10-15% due to the economic climate, while it was announced that consumer confidence reached an all-time low in October. Given these factors, it would be easy to think the nation has put its credit cards on lockdown. But for the strata of society that's remained insulated from the economic chill, it's not so much about putting an end to shopping, but shopping in a more considered way. And while one might assume that demand for timeless basics would be on the rise in such uncertain times, many retailers report that it's the exact opposite.
