It's fashion week in New York and lately I've been focused on 'the Why". The why of social media! Why do we curate? Why do we have so many Fashion Weeks? Well in short to bolster businesses to get what's on eth runways into teh closets and eventually onto teh backs of consumers. Teh thing is Is it really working. Negotiating what "actually works" in teh local arena vs versus what the "experts" say is interesting, especially since the experts ar not who patronises local events!
One of my local clients is having an event... in music so what does that have to do with fashion... well attendees will need to dress. To #PartyinStyle . So we worked out a deal offering a discount to show the link between fashion and music.

The FIT is and will always be a challenge in any market, but especially in larger body shapes. With about 26 different cultural female shapes, a no label/company can offer clothing to everybody. Within the “traditional ready-to-wear” market, there are 3 major categories – Petite, standard/regular, and Tall. This refers to the clients’ height, with the average Petite being 5’2”, standard 5’6”, and Tall, 5’10”. Within these 3 size ranges, the large numbers of females have settled into the fit that works best for their body types (meaning that most short waisted females purchase Petite garments even if they are well over 5’2”).
