H&M is Eco-friendly and Socially Aware

 Fast fashion retailer, H&M knows how to keep consumers coming back for more! After coming off a successful collaboration with fashion designer Isabel Marant, H&M is about to launch a new Eco-friendly denim line {end of February} that consist of jeans, jackets, vests in different washes. Get this; each item is made of 20% recycled cotton {which is the max, standard}.

I remember H&M launching a program that accepted used clothes from their customers, in return for a discount. Well, they collected 7.7 million pounds of used denim! H&M is on to something here...a portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity. H&M is also paying of looking to pay factory workers a living wage.



Launched last year



This is a great example of fashion giving back!

It helps boutiques and store owners that go to fashion shows to eliminate hand written orders and replaces all the paperwork hassle."

"I am a retailer and I’ve created this app with my own funds initially for my personal use. I am not after ROI and I just did it because I have found this niche need (often going to Fashion Weeks all around US). I’d like to help other retailers and personal shoppers find about iMerchandise too."

  

That's what fashion is all about…see a need, create a niche!

Event: ARTSON365.com 2nd Annual Showcase & Conference Benefiting Cancer Support + Watch This!!

The Event Banner

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was another great event That Fashion Chick, LLC was a part of {sponsors}, selling our TFCB jewelry and promoting the company at the same time! It's still new for me getting out networking for TFC since I focused heavily on our online presence {which is fantastic} and to really promote {by myself with my personal brand}, is a little scary and EXCITING all at once. 

Special thanks to Renata Brown {CEO of ARTSON365}! That Fashion Chick attended the ARTSON365.com 2nd Annual Showcase & Conference Benefiting Cancer Support {TFC attended the Saturday event}.  Each sponsor went on stage and promoted their company/brand and I was nervous, but it was real kool. S/O to the host for Saturday's event, Keegan Leiba {from Trinidad & in the Entertainment/Fashion Industries}...he shouted out my company a few times during the show, which was sooo AWESOME!



Keegan Leiba & I *no make up...I was a trooper! lol*

Few set up shots below:

I was really focused on promoting and selling so I  didn't capture all the moments I would have liked, like the performances and spoken word {all were amazing}, but I plan on going back next year bigger and better. It was another great day in business for TFC. This journey is really something, and the best is YET to come! =D

Time to learn Mandarin! {Rosetta Stone}

This is something we all should take kind of serious.  I’ve been hearing a lot about this Mandarin language becoming more popular.

My mom told me this a few years back and I’ve heard it on a few TV shows, now fashion sites are weighing in on it.  Time to pay attention and for good reason…looks like I may be hitting up my nearest Borders for Rosetta Stone.  Fashion Folks it’s time to learn Mandarin!

I read a great article on Fashionista.  I’m going to summarize a few points for you:

• Dec. '12 - Chinese shoppers officially surpassed American shoppers as the #1 consumer of luxury goods.
• Recently in Europe, Burberry doubled the number of Mandarin speaking sales associates  and they have already seen a 15% increase in revenue and in the Asia Pacific region.
• Over the next 3 to 4 years Chinese tourist's numbers are expected to reach 90 million. Retailers are planning to strategiclly use Mandarin speaking associates, catering to these tourist…according to Patrica Pao, CEO of PAO Principle.

This is an article you must read….it’s the future, check it out HERE!
