The 5 Fastest 'Fast Fashion' Retailers from my friends at The High Low

Candy WashingtonComment
Now that the Fashion Weeks are officially behind us, you can be sure the big ‘fast fashion’ retailers are on the case to make the best designer knockoffs as quickly as they can for the next shopping season. And while everyone loves a designer look for less, fast fashion stores—known for bargain prices, quick design turn around and incessant stock filling—show no signs of slowing down. We took a closer look to see how fast some retailers like Zara, H&M and TopShop restock their shelves. 



To find out which other stores are among the fastest to move merchandise, check out the recent post at the High Low: http://thehighlow.com/2011/10/how-fast-is-fast-fashion/

Move Over, Musician Muses - Burberry's Debuting Its Own Single

Candy WashingtonComment


This only continues to solidify fashion and music's love affair - read below for the latest scoop on Burberry's and the Feeling collaboration...

Burberry Creative Director Christopher Bailey worked with British band the Feeling to re-work one of their old songs, Rosé. The brand is co-opting the resulting single — the designer label is self-releasing the acoustic, string version of the song, plus a new accompanying video, on iTunes on Monday, which is a first for the fashion industry.
