It is a business model of disposable clothing. This is extremely profitable for big brands and attractively affordable to consumers, but it is also unsustainable and costly to people and the planet. What are the five recent arrivals to Australia – H&M, Zara, Uniqlo, Topshop and Forever 21 – doing to change their unflattering reputation for unsustainable fashion? The problem. Missguided credits fast UK sourcing for record growth. Missguided’s rapid sourcing model is central to its record profit and revenue growth, with over half of the etailer’s collections supplied by UK factories, according to chief financial officer Paul Masters.
“Almost all of the ranges are designed in-house and between 50% and 60% comes from UK factories,” he said, as the Manchester-based company reported EBITDA increased six-fold from £900,000 to £5.5m for the year to March 31. The young fashion etailer, which introduces an average of 250 new items online each week, increased revenue by 69% to £86m during the same period. “We have an established base in the UK, which is a real benefit to us, and a very fast sourcing model from our suppliers in China and the Far East. We can turn things round from conception of design to having it up on the site within a matter of weeks,” said Masters.
“To compete in this market we need to make sure we are at the forefront of rapid fashion in terms of sourcing and technology.” Birmingham City University - Sign In. Connecting Site...

Youth Fashionwear. This Key Note Market Update examines the youth fashionwear market in the UK, exploring the different trends and issues impacting the industry and its position within the wider UK fashion industry over the 5 years between 2010 and 2014.
The youth fashionwear market is divided into three key market sectors: clothing, footwear and clothing accessories, for both male and female consumers, aged between 13 and 24 years old. Key Note estimates that the value of the market increased by 8.9% in 2014. Teenage bloggers and ‘vloggers’ are having a growing influence on the fashion choices of younger consumers, with the conversational style of such blogs widely accepted as being a more honest review than a brand campaign or industry magazine. A string of collaborations between high-end designers and high-street youth fashion retailers has sprung up in the last few years, proving popular among young consumers who lack the available finances for the designer’s mainline range. Youth Fashionwear. This Key Note Market Report analyses the UK consumer market for youth fashionwear, covering both the male and female fashion offerings for the 13 to 24 year-old age group.
Fashionwear can be defined as fashion clothing, footwear and clothing accessories; in terms of the youth consumer audience, this can consist of both specifically targeted youth or teenage fashion collections, as well as adult fashion collections, which are particularly popular with the youth demographic. Key Note estimates that the market has shown consistent year-on-year growth throughout the past 5 years (2009 to 2013), rising at a significant rate of 31.6% overall. With the UK having a strong heritage for fashion design, being classed as one of the leading fashion capitals in the world, there is a high following for the latest fashion trends among youth consumers.

The bosses to watch in 2015. The bank clearly feels Mr McFarlane is their man – his appointment followed a lengthy courtship – and though he is said to be on board with the group’s current strategy, there is little doubt that he will make himself heard if things do not go according to plan. Véronique Laury Véronique Laury has taken the helm of Kingfisher this year, bringing the total number of female chief executives of FTSE 100 companies to five. She has taken over from Sir Ian Cheshire, who is leaving the business after 16 years, including seven as chief executive, to make way for the “next phase of Kingfisher’s evolution”. Ms Laury will be the force behind that evolution, charged with boosting Kingfisher’s online offering, expanding its Screwfix and Brico Dépôt brands and integrating the recently acquired retail chain Mr Bricolage into its French business. The French division itself will also be high on Ms Laury’s to-do list.
It’s no wonder, then, that Kingfisher appointed a Frenchwoman to steer this recovery. Mentor Mondays: Nitin Passi, Missguided. Big interview - Big interview: Missguided managing director Nitin Passi.
