Fashion Marketing and Merchandising Bring High-End Fashion to Discount Stores

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) April 19, 2007

Fashion marketing and merchandising have created a new market for designers: discount fashion stores. A FashionSchoolReview.com article entitled “GO International Fashion Designs Are On Target” describes how retail and marketing skills taught in fashion design school are critical in helping high-end designers work with discount retailers (http://www.fashionschoolreview.com/news/2007/02/target.html). FashionSchoolReview.com, an interactive fashion education site, has resources and information about fashion careers and design schools around the world.

In recent years, Target’s GO International design and marketing campaign has provided customers with affordable fashion from international designers such as Tara Jarman, Paul & Joe and Luella Bartley. In February, the GO International campaign brought Proenza Schouler fashion designs to Target customers. “While the label is a huge hit in high-end retail stores, Target’s inclusion of Proenza Schouler will offer its designs to a broader market at less costly prices,” according to FashionSchoolReview.com.

This new market increases the opportunities for a career in the fashion industry. It also increases the need for expertise in fashion merchandising and marketing–”the business side of fashion”–to provide the link between fashion designers and discount retailers. According to FashionSchoolReview.com: “While fashion design school offers formal training in pattern making, garment construction, and sewing, it also provides critical courses in business and retail management. For those whose fashion goals lie outside of the runway, there is a fashion design course for you, too” (http://www.fashionschoolreview.com/news/2007/02/target.html).

At FashionSchoolReview.com, visitors can explore retail and marketing fashion careers and get personalized information about which careers and schools might be the best fit for their interests and talents. The site also has up-to-date information about trends and news in the fashion design industry.

Prada Handbag, a Master Piece of Edgy Fashion

Prada Handbag, a Master Piece of Edgy Fashion

Immense compliment has been placed on Prada, the Italian high-fashion company. Even the name Prada alone signifies style, luxury, elegance and extremely glamorous leather goods. Most famous for its unsurpassed quality, exquisite handicraft, uniquely chic design, and great versatility, Prada handbag stands out as a classic and timeless fashion icon that outshines other contemporary brands. More importantly, Prada possesses an inborn sense of creativity and innovation which has produced numerous distinctive, stylish and eye-catching handbags. This exclusive characteristic keeps Prada always remaining at the forefront of the fashion industry and obtains countless praises as master works of the cutting edge of fashion.

 

After Mario Prada-the founder of Prada label, it was his granddaughter Miuccia Prada who concentrated on innovating and perfecting the new Prada image. This talented designer is very sensitive to high fashion, and keeps on adding new and novelty elements to her designs. She is regarded as the leading force to steer Prada into the world of haute couture and make it ascend the must-haves for fashion elite.

 

The signature style which Prada pioneered is simple, understated and decent yet chic, elegant and cutting edgy. Prada handbag hints at the Italian vogue that is “sexy and spoke of confidence without revealing too much skin.” With their sturdy simple designs, Prada gets the job done that makes bags focusing on edgy fashion, rather than adding too many additions to distract from its core fashion spirit.

 

Prada hands on the torch of the Prada style which was initiated by Miuccia in 1970. She created a black nylon fabric waterproof backpack and its simple design, sexy look, practical versatility was followed by many other big brands. Prada hits the fashion world by basic colors such as black, browns, grays, greens, and creams; simple but looks smart, sophisticated, luxurious and extremely high quality as well. In recent decades, Prada introduced some bright colors like purple, fuchsia, pink, yellow and distinctive prints as animal patterns, however, they all are sheer, pure and earthy.

 

Prada handbags are about richness of materials. The regular used classic materials such as leather, calfskin, deerskin, fox fur, and nylon. Many new materials like crystals, woods, even tortoise shells are boldly used to make different and attractive bags. Those trendy and hot bags are most favored by fashion diva and supermodels.

 

In general, the designs of Prada handbags are understated yet of high class. The ingenious Prada designers are very good at adding small adornment to turn a simple design into a sparkling fashion icon. Pleats, drapes, sequins, beads, tassels and buckles are perfectly used to make them a chic, shiny sheen and innovative appearance.

 

Innovation is the inner power which impels Prada to become the most leading brand in fashion industry and achieve unprecedented success. Prada handbags are so excellent at setting newest, hottest and trendiest style that each piece of them can absolutely be called as master piece of edgy fashion. They are drooled and lusted by almost every woman. www.eurohandbag.com is a spacious online store offering various Prada handbags to suit all tastes and styles.
