Everyone dresses not for the biggest event one can imagine, but for a mass television audience. That may be good for the houses to have their brands radiate across the globe, but I don’t think it’s really good for fashion. I am dying for someone to show up on a red carpet in one of Raf Simons’s T-shirts and skirts with a peplum. I mean, how gorgeous?” |

| The Boomer Balancing Act: Retailers say new looks for middle-age women are both youthful and mature by Teri Agins, Wall Street Journal, November 3-4, 2007. |
| “Does This Shirt Make Me Look Too American?” – By Ray A. Smith, Wall Street Journal, August 18-19, 2007. “For men shopping for dress shirts, it can also mean squeezing into a tighter fit. British shirts are cut closer to the body: A “classic fit” Charles Tyrwhitt shirt fits the way an American brand’s “slim fit” shirt would. British shirts tend to have spread collars, compared to the long, pointy versions on many American shirts. They also come in less conservative colors, with unusual shades like orange and pistachio, and bold patterns of checks and plaids that can seem loud by American office standards.” |

|
| From Concept to Consumer – By Gini Stephens Prings, Prentice Hall, 1999, 6th edition. Fashion, the clothing trade and fashion merchandising. “Domestic shoe production has declined so that there are only 379 manufacturers operating 461 plants in the United Slates with employment at approximately 48,200. The small amount of domestic shoe production left primarily of men’s shoes, is done in New England and the Midwest. These firms include better classic men’s shoes such as Johnston & Murphy, Allen-Edmonds, Cole-Haan, and Alden and moderate shoe lines such as Florsheim, Bass, Dexter, and Bostonians. In the future, it seems that weaker firms will continue to close while stronger ones will consolidate plants, invest in new technology to narrow the gap between foreign and U.S. labor costs.” |
