Fashion Industry discussion, review, analysis, news, and information

It's spring time and with that comes many changes.  The butterflies are out fluttering about and the flowers are dancing in the gentle warm breeze...There are also many changes happening in the retail fashion arena this year with big name designers playing the ole switcheroo.  Eric Wilson and Michael Barbaro of The New York Times report that Isaac Mizrahi will be leaving Target and heading to Liz Claiborne while Dana Buchman will be joining Kohl's.  



A question is asked: "What ever became of loyalty?" 

I can't speak for these big name designers, but as a creative individual and designer I go with the flow and partner with companies who offer a challenge.  I thrive on change and freshness, so it comes as no surprise that there is no loyalty within retail fashion. 

I think the only loyalty you'll find in fashion nowadays are consumers' loyalty for certain luxury brands.  No matter what they must have that name brand to be perceived as having achieved a certain status.  Check out a discussion of this topic over at Fashion Industry Network...
