Junior Gaultier goes COUTURE in Summer 2014!
The first creation from this pretty couture collection of Junior Gaultier was for Summer 2013 and inspired by Indian Gypsies is a dress straight from a fairy tale. This dress, which comes in ivory and padparadscha, was seen at the Haute Couture show and needed more than 60 hours of painstaking work. Now a reinterpretation of this unique creation is available in a limited edition. Only 60 dresses in each colour will be available worldwide.
Jean-Paul Gaultier goes back to his childhood! In a collaboration with the Zannier Group, Gaultier signed its first Kidswear collection for Winter 2009 under the brand name Junior Gaultier. Fashion’s enfant terrible revisits the classics that have spelled the success of its collections since the 80s: not only the inevitable sailor’s shirt, but also the biker’s jacket, kilt and its lace and tattoo prints. Every season, Junior Gaultier confirms its ambition to develop a highly creative wardrobe for kids keen to assert a taste for easy-to-wear ‘couture’ fashion.

Hold up your red card to child labour! - Rote Karte gegen Kinderarbeit!
Kinderarbeit ist weiterhin ein großes Problem in der Bekleidungs- und Textilindustrie!
Rund 30 Ländern wird vorgeworfen, Kinder in der Baumwoll-, Textil-, Leder- und Bekleidungsindustrie arbeiten zu lassen. Besonders Usbekistan rekrutiert Schulkinder für die Baumwollernte, ein Bereiche, der am stärksten Kinder für sich arbeiten lässt. Rund 168 Millionen Mädchen und Jungen arbeiten heute noch als billige Arbeitskräfte in Argentinien, Aserbaidschan, Brasilien, Mali, Parguay, der Türkei und Sambia, oft "full time". Kinder-Zwangsarbeit finden wir in Ländern wie Mali, Benin, Burkina Faso, China, Indien, Kasachstan, Pakistan, Tadschikistan, Turkmenistan und Usbekistan. Im Textil- und Lederbereich sind Kinder zudem Gesundheitsrisiken bei der Arbeit ausgesetzt. Ein Schutz vor Chemikalien ist oft meist vorhanden. Beim Thema Kinderarbeit ist die Textilindustrie an stärksten betroffen, mit insgesamt 11 Prozent der minderjährigen Bevölkerung weltweit (168 Millionen Kinder).
Child labor is still a major problem in the apparel and textile industry! Around 168 million girls and boys work today, many full time.
Child labour deprives girls and boys of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development. Child labour is work that children should not be doing because they are too young to work and should be in school or, if they are old enough to work, because it is dangerous or otherwise unsuitable for them.
There are 168 million child workers around the world and more than half of them are trapped in the worst forms of child labour. They work in fields, mines and textile factories and many are sexually abused, exploited in the drug trade or forced to join armies and militias.
The Red Card campaign aims to free millions of children who are trapped in the worst forms of child labour.
Kampagne der IOL gegen Kinderarbeit mit Schauspieler Tim Roth
The ILO launched the first Red Card campaign in 2002 to raise public awareness of child labour. Eight years later, the second Global Conference on Child Labour that took place in The Hague committed to eliminating the worst forms of child labour by 2016. The 152 countries that participated in the third conference that just ended in Brasilia have renewed their commitment to reach that target. “The Red Card is a powerful image that is easily recognizable across the world as a warning that something is wrong and must stop,” said ILO chief Guy Ryder. The International Labour Organization (ILO) is the UN agency for the world of work. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, the ILO sets international standards and promotes and protects fundamental rights at work. The ILO has 185 member States and is the oldest UN agency. It was founded in 1919, as part of the Treaty of Versailles.
2002 organisierte die ILO (International Labour Organization der UN) die erste "Rote Karte-Kampagne" gegen Kinderarbeit um hier eine breitere Aufmerksamkeit in der Öffentlichkeit zu gewinnen. 2010 fand zum zweiten Mal eine Weltkonferenz zum Thema Kinderarbeit in Den Haag statt mit einem ILO-Übereinkommen zur Beseitigung der schlimmsten Form der Kinderarbeit bis 2016. „Wir gehen in die richtige Richtung“, so die ILO. Sie zeigt sich vorsichtig optimistisch: „Seit dem Jahr 2000 gibt es 78 Millionen Kinderarbeiter weniger, das ist fast ein Drittel. Besonders die Kinderarbeit von Mädchen konnte reduziert werden: Im Zeitraum zwischen 2000 und 2012 ist die Kinderarbeit von Mädchen um 40 Prozent zurückgegangen, bei den Jungen waren es hingegen nur 25 Prozent.“ Dennoch reichen die Programme zur Abschaffung von Kinderarbeit noch lange nicht aus. Jede einzelne Stimme zählt. Machen Sie mit und setzen auch Sie ein Zeichen: Die "rote Karte" gegen Kinderarbeit!
Actor and film director Tim Roth spearheads the ILO campaign to show the red card to child labour and raise awareness of the approximately 200 million girls and boys in child labour around the world. More information here.

Performance Fashion: Online-Trends im Fashionmarkt - Tradedoubler-Studie 2013
Das Performance-Marketing-Unternehmen Tradedoubler stellte auf der Messe für Digitales Marketing dmexco in Köln die jüngsten Erkenntnisse seiner Insight Unit* vor. Titel des Whitepapers: "Online-Trends im Fashionmarkt. Ein neuer Laufsteg für Modemarken".
Quelle: tradedoubler.com |
Der wichtigste Trend, laut Studie heisst: Mode online zu kaufen wird immer beliebter - Tendenz steigend. Fazit: Durch den Einsatz von Performance-Marketing (=Einsatz von Onlinemarketing-Instrumenten) erleben und kaufen Verbraucher Modeartikel auf ganz neue Art und Weise; Marken, die nicht bereit sind, neue Wege und Kanäle auszuprobieren, könnten leicht aus der Mode kommen.
Was bedeutet das für den Offline Handel?
Der stationäre Einzelhandel inspiriert Verbraucher nach wie vor in hohem Maße (57% stöbern gerne in Modeläden und 48% besuchen dieWebsites von Mode-Firmen), aber sie haben heute erheblich weniger Kontrolle über den eigentlichen Modekauf. Inspiration für Modekäufer ist keine Garantie mehr, dass sie auch dort kaufen. Hier muss der Einzelhandel in Zukunft intensiver an neuen Kauferlebnissen arbeiten.Quelle: tradedoubler.com |
Blogs, Content-Seiten und andere Performance-Kanäle sind eine Chance für die Modebranche. Schon 64 Prozent der Verbraucher in Deutschland informieren sich über modische Trends in Blogs und auf Content-Seiten. Sie werden zu einem akzeptierten Teil des Einkaufserlebnisses von Modeartikeln. Diese Kanäle nehmen eine neue Rolle im Kaufprozess, von der ersten
Inspiration bis zum Kauf, ein. Zum Beispiel: 69% der Verbraucher informieren sich über modische Trends in Blogs und Content-Seiten, ein erheblich größerer Anteil als der, der sich im Laden inspirieren läßt.
Quelle: tradedoubler.com |
Die Nutzung mobiler Geräte parallel zum Fernsehen auf der heimischen Couch „Second Screening“ ist europaweit für knapp ein Viertel der Verbraucher (24%) bereits Normalität.

"Der Mode-Einzelhandel kann den Spieß umdrehen und mobile Performance-Marketing-Angebote nutzen, um Kundschaft in die Läden zu locken. Dazu eignen sich besonders Gutschein-Seiten und -Apps. Schon 44 Prozent der Käufer nutzen beim Einkaufsbummel Gutscheine, die sie auf dem Handy erhalten haben. Diese Chance müssen die Fashion-Stores nur nutzen" sagt Björn Hahner, Country Manager von Tradedoubler in Deutschland.
*Für die Studie wurden 2.500 Smartphone Nutzer, die mindestens einmal im Monat online einkaufen, in Großbritannien, Frankreich, Deutschland, Italien, den Niederlanden, Spanien, Schweden und Polen von der Tradedoubler Insight Unit befragt. Tradedoubler gehört zu den Pionieren, die dem Konzept des Affiliate Marketing-Netzwerks zum Durchbruch verholfen haben. Mehr Informationen zu der Studie finden Sie hier>>

Mode-Mekka Italien in Gefahr? - Italian Children’s fashion looks to the next season with confidence.
Wie steht es um unsere internationalen Märkte? Das französische Online Magazin FashionMag hat das Konsumverhalten in fünf europäischen Ländern näher beleuchtet und berichtet in den kommenden Wochen darüber. Den Auftakt machte heute Italien mit dem Fazit: Die Krise hält an!
Italy is still not out of the dark and budgets are under more strain than ever. The disposable income in the country has decreased by 10% in the last ten years. It has returned to 1,033 euros, the same as that recorded 25 years ago. Unemployment has risen to its highest since 1977, reaching 12% in the first few months of 2013. Faced with these figures, consumer spending on non-food items is expected to fall by 6.1% in 2014, after dropping 7.2% in 2013.
Die italienische Textil- und Modebranche verbindet die besten Eigenschaften der italienischen Wirtschaft: Flexibilität und Erfindergeist mit hervorragender Qualität und einem hohen Exportanteil. Dennoch ... Italien steckt in der Krise und das Mode-Geschäft ist eine der wichtigsten Branchen des Landes. Viele Jobs, hohe Umsätze und ein starker Export hängen in Italien an der Mode-Industrie.
Das Budget der Italiener ist knapp wie nie. Das allgemeine Einkommen ist in den letzen zehn Jahren um 10 Prozent gesunken. Das Einkommen der italienischen Haushalte hat das gleiche Niveau wie vor 25 Jahren erreicht, in 1988 waren es damals 1.033 Euro. Die Arbeitslosigkeit ist auf Rekordniveau geklettert. Die Verkaufszahlen von Konsumgütern (Nonfood) wird in 2014 weiter um 6,1 Prozent sinken, nachdem sie in 2013 bereits um 7,2 Prozent zurückgegangen sind.
But these alarming downwards prediction are not unaccompanied. According to the most recent findings from Confcommercio - Italy’s confederation of retail traders - the clothing and footwear industries have seen sales volumes drop 5.9% in the first quarter of 2013 and 2.3% in the second. Sales in Italy reached a 13-year low reporting a drop of 30% since 2000,” said the Italian chamber of fashion. “If we exclude inflation, internal revenue from the fashion market has been cut in half since 2000.”
Diese alarmierende Situation wird auch von anderen Studien bestätigt.Was bedeutet das für Italien's Modeindustrie? Der Umsatz der italienischen Textil- und Modebranche ist in den letzten fünf Quartalen im Ausland beständig gewachsen und bricht alle Rekorde, er ist jedoch im Binnenmarkt stark gesunken. „Im zweiten Quartal 2013 haben die Verkaufszahlen in Italien das niedrigste Niveau seit 13 Jahren erreicht, seit 2000 sind sie um 30 Prozent gesunken“ schreibt die Camera della Moda in der vom Hermes Lab durchgeführten Studie „Fashion Economic Trends“. „Von Inflationseffekten bereinigt heißt das, dass sich der in Italien erwirtschaftete Umsatz der Modebranche innerhalb von 13 Jahren halbiert hat“, fasst der Bericht zusammen.
Italian fashion is in demand especially abroad.
In Milan, the designers try to give some hope with their great commercial success to their politically and economically exploited country. Only a clear improvement in the foreign markets can have on total revenue of sales volumes to improve the current fiscal year. Fortunately the Italian fashion export business is now more successful than ever.
The fact that the average Italian is spending much less these days means that shops that are not located in big cities filled with affluent shoppers or tourists are really suffering,” says Beppe Angiolini, president of the association of Italian buyers. But as vice president Armando Branchini states: “Our internal market is still not ready to pick up again following several years of austerity. Political leaders have been unable to reduce public debt and therefore have risen tax brackets, which ultimately impacts on consumer spending.”
Florence is hosting one of the most important world event dedicated to baby and kids fashion. Pitti Immagine Bimbo takes place twice a year and focuses on a market area which promises to remain unscathed by the current recession. The performance of foreign visitors was better than that of the Italians, with an expected total of 2,600 buyers (from over 60 countries), representing 45% of the total amount of buyers. Foreign markets continue to drive attendance, with good performances from Russia, Eastern Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Middle East and emerging markets. Italian Children’s fashion looks to the next season with confidence.
Leading the top 20 foreign countries was Russia (362 buyer), followed by Spain (239), Germany (208), Turkey (133), United Kingdom (129), France (125), Belgium (124), The Netherlands (88), Greece (87), Japan (70), Ukraine (67), China (55), Switzerland (54), United States (54), South Korea (46), Brazil (45), Israel (44), Portugal (43), Austria (42), Poland (38). www.pittimmagine.com
Italy’s consumer spending still lagging
What is the state of our international markets? The French online magazine FashionMag took a closer look at the consumer behavior in five European countries and reports on it in the upcoming weeks. The start was made with Italy today.Italy is still not out of the dark and budgets are under more strain than ever. The disposable income in the country has decreased by 10% in the last ten years. It has returned to 1,033 euros, the same as that recorded 25 years ago. Unemployment has risen to its highest since 1977, reaching 12% in the first few months of 2013. Faced with these figures, consumer spending on non-food items is expected to fall by 6.1% in 2014, after dropping 7.2% in 2013.

Italienische Mode ist besonders im Ausland gefragt.
In Mailand versuchen die Designer, dem politisch gebeutelten Land Hoffnung zu geben teils mit großem wirtschaftlichen Erfolg. Nur eine klare Verbesserung der ausländischen Märkte können für den Umsatz insgesamt ein gutes viertes Quartal zur Folge haben. Die Exportgeschäfte sind wie noch nie Erfolgsfaktor der italienischen Unternehmen.Italian fashion is in demand especially abroad.

Was bedeutet das für ausländische Modelabels, die ihre Mode in Italien verkaufen?
Tatsache ist, dass die Italiener heute weitaus weniger ausgeben, und dass die Geschäfte, die nicht in Großstädten liegen und zu deren Kunden nicht die reichen Touristen zählen, darunter leiden. Folge, die Einkäufer kaufen weitaus weniger ein und das wird sich vorerst auch nicht ändern: „Der Binnenmarkt wird sich aufgrund der auf lange Jahre angelegten Sparpolitik noch nicht erholen können. Die Politik war nicht in der Lage, die Staatsverschuldung zu reduzieren und muss daher die Steuereinnahmen erhöhen – was sich wiederum auf die Ausgaben für Konsumgüter auswirkt.“ so die Vorhersagen von Altagamma.The fact that the average Italian is spending much less these days means that shops that are not located in big cities filled with affluent shoppers or tourists are really suffering,” says Beppe Angiolini, president of the association of Italian buyers.
