Американская певица Рианна установила в поп-ап магазине Fenty в Нью-Йорке манекены плюс-сайз. От стандартных они отличаются увеличенными пропорциями: их бедра значительно крупнее, а грудь и животы - объемнее. Так звезда решила продемонстрировать свою новую коллекцию одежды. По информации издания Metro, Рианна хотела создать модный бренд, продукция которого подходила бы женщинам с разными типами фигур. На это ее вдохновило собственное тело: как рассказала певица, время от времени она то полнеет, то худеет. Как пишет Lenta.ru, пользователи интернета похвалили бренд за то, что он показывает «реальные тела». «У манекенов Fenty есть формы и бедра. Я обожаю Рианну», - написала одна из пользовательниц Twitter. «Рианна проделывает феноменальную работу, чтобы заставить нас [чернокожих женщин] чувствовать себя значимыми», - высказалась другая. «Эти манекены показывают, как выглядят настоящие чернокожие женщины», - согласилась третья.

Facebook is the latest company going from clicks to bricks . The Internet giant responsible for social networks Facebook and Instagram has opened nine pop-up stores inside Macy’s locations across the United States to sell products from 100 small businesses and digital-native brands which are present on their platforms. "Every day, million of people discover brands and products they love on Facebook and Instagram. This holiday season, we’re excited to bring the magic of this discovery into Macy’s retail stores", said Facebook in a statement. Selected brands encompass several product categories, including apparel, food, beauty and lifestyle. Facebook has paid the fee for the selected merchants to be able to showcase their products at The Market @ Macy’s, a space for temporary businesses inaugurated earlier this year. However, the company led by Mark Zuckerberg will not take a share of their sales revenue. The initiative probably aims to bring more small entrepreneurs into their social networks and encourage those already present to advertise. Macy’s customers will be able to find Facebook’s pop-up at Macy’s locations in New York, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale, San Antonio, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. The stores will run until February 2. Photo: Facebook
September 25th to 27th, 2019 • 698 exhibitors and 718 brands from 10 countries on more than 62,000 square meters from 25 to 27 September 2019 presented to over 54,000 visitors • CHIC as a constant for the Chinese fashion industry and fashion retail in the context of a rapidly changing market environment • Optimization of visitor management: Exhibitors and visitors benefited from the organizer's extensive range of matching services • Direct deals and more order-triggering business contacts at the fair The autumn event of CHIC Shanghai from 25 to 27 September 2019 generated 698 exhibitors and 718 brands from 10 countries and 54,202 trade visitors. Competent, focused and compact, the exhibitors displayed their new collections on an area of 62,000 square meters at the National Exhibition & Convention Center. The number of visitors is stable compared to the previous year. Chen Dapeng, President of the CHIC and China National Garment Association draws a positive conclusion from the show: "CHIC is a reflection of the extremely dynamic Chinese apparel market, whose consumers are the fastest to adapt to new trends and tendencies around the world, and all market developments will be reflected at CHIC , with the fair's service tools geared towards networking among its market partners. The Chinese market is undergoing changes to which it has not been exposed in the last hundred years: a permanently changing society shaped by the younger generation of consumers with the desire for individualization; the technological change, the digitization of the entire production and distribution chain; the increasing social and ecological responsibility of the companies. Challenges that companies have to face and keep pace with. In this environment, CHIC is the reliable basis that is used by all market participants. " Analysts expect China's retail sales to increase by 3.5% this year (after peaking at 7.5% last year), with a slight decline next year, but overtaking the US in 2021 and exceeds $ 6 trillion. Apparel sales are similar at 2.6% for this year from January to July 2019 and 6% last year. The figures illustrate the effects of the trade dispute with the US, and thus currently coupled with a general market uncertainty in China. The CHIC organizers are opposing this development by optimizing all measures for efficient business activities of exhibitors and visitors, both offline and online. In this context, the promotion measures such as WeChat advertising in the run-up to the event, match-making events at the fair and the updated CHIC-APP, which makes, among many other things, the direct networking between exhibitors and visitors already possible before the fair. The exhibitors report on numerous business start-ups and a significant increase in order activity. The appearance of film star Wenzhuo Zhao, one of China's most well-known Kung Fu performers, caused a sensation among visitors and media representatives in the CHIC Sustainability Zone . He has been named Brand Ambassador for Sustainable Fashion by the China National Textile Apparel Council, patron of the Sustainability Zone at the show. CNTAC is currently developing a unique international information platform for the classification of harmful chemical ingredients for textiles. These projects are financed by private sponsors, including China's best-known sportswear brand, Li Ning, also presenting a hoodie collection at CHIC made of R-PET fibers. The sporting goods manufacturer is as well the organizer of the Li Ning Sports Cup, which first edition took place within the framework of the CHIC , and will award design drafts for the style "Made in China".

Baby and toddler clothing is expected to be the most important area for kidswear.
