DAMASCUS Syria – Syria Fashion Designers on the Catwalk
The svelte models strutted down the catwalk in sexy dresses with bare backs and short hemlines — all under the watchful portraits of Syrian President Bashar Assad and his late father, Hafez
The glitzy occasion was Syria’s first ever fashion design competition, meant to encourage young Syrian talents and local products. But perhaps more importantly, it was part of the authorities’ recent efforts to soften Syria’s image and open up the authoritarian country
A tightly controlled nation often vilified by the West for harboring militant Palestinian organizations and criticized for alleged support for Iraqi insurgents, Syria has worked hard in recent years to shed its drab, socialist image and transform itself economically

Asia Fashion Brand – What will it take for an Asian company, especially Thai, to come up with a luxury brand that will rival the likes of Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Chanel in the future?
The first and perhaps most difficult step is the creation of a product or service that people desire
The assumption is you already have the money, so you must create. It can be a product like a car or refrigerator. It can be a spa or a service. But you have to create something that does not exist and would be the dream of some people
To create this product or service, the company needs a designer. Look at any of the top luxury brands, and you’ll find star designers like Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, and Miuccia Prada who are perhaps the most valuable assets
The companies who create an exclusive brand, here the star system comes in. Stars are not the celebrities but the designers who are the rare ingredient in the whole system
Luxury brands are all about creating classic items
It starts with creation and remains a problem of creation. Luxury brands sell the classics and communicate the newness. It’s about building the classics of tomorrow
History and heritage are also important elements for a luxury brand. Many of the European luxury brands have a long history, adding depth and timelessness to their products and services
Accept your heritage. What is heritage? `I am Thai
Accepting Thailand’s heritage is crucial in creating a worldwide luxury brand
Thailand’s image is what you will make it
It is what you do that will create your future
Kiwi fashion designer Annah Stretton says the local fashion industry’s structure is underdeveloped and needs more focus on profit
Fashion designer Annah Stretton says trading conditions “have forced fashion retailers into a corner”.
She told a conference for fashion tutors at Christchurch Polytechnic that the industry was wavering and struggling because of a lack of business nous.
Ms Stretton knows the fashion business from two sometimes conflicting perspectives designer and retailer
She boasts 30 shops and export markets in the United States, Britain, Europe and Australia, and turnover of more than $10 million a year.
She says consumers expect better value at present. About 80 per cent of her sales were from her mainstay Anna S brand, aimed at most of the female fashion market, and 20 per cent were from her catwalk brand, Anna Stretton.
She does not sacrifice sales and turnover on the altar of creativity.
“I love to play and create that beautiful stuff for those fashion shows but only because I have all my other ducks in a row and have worked out how to do it well in the business of fashion.”
She was prepared to add a frill or raise a hem on an original design to sell 500 units rather than 10 top-priced designer units.
Many new designers would abhor such compromise but in her view, it was what business needed
“I’m in the business of fashion. I make money from fashion.”
The industry was struggling to be sustainable “because we don’t have business nous”.
Fashion was personal but business was not it was about driving profit.
New Zealand’s fashion industry had some wonderful new talent coming through but it was handicapped by its small and hobbyist feel populated with women trying to balance work, families and business
The structure of the industry was underdeveloped, she said.
The Kiwi designers of note in the fashion business and who had traction on a world stage were older women who had learned over time to do business. “If they are not 50 they are damn close to it.”
New fashion designers coming through would probably get started with mum and dad’s money but young designers had little or no skill in business, retail or employing staff.
“These guys need so much more to get traction early.”
Her hobby horse at present was to put into practice “talent incubation” where female accountants and business women who love fashion would help “incubate” young fashion designers and their businesses.
“There’s some interesting stories out there but how long they exist for is the million-dollar question.”
