Fashion Industry from New York City - Project Show, Blue Collective, and Capsule

2009-07-21T22:38:00.009-04:00

Today I checked out all the shows that was happening in New York city this week, Project Show, Blue Collective, and Capsule Show. The Project show is the denim and streetwear show, started out in New York but now it happens in New York and Las Vegas and now is owned by Magic. Blue and Collective show is operated by ENK which is the closest competitor to Magic. Blue is their denim and casual wear section and Collective are the more formal lines are. Capsule is the new cool kid on the block. More hipster and underground lines, it's all the new stuff the cool kids are wearing. Don't get it mistaken, it's not as underground as you might think, these are top lines in all the big important retailers, they are just less commercial than the competitors at the other shows.

The economy sucks. As I was talking to a close friend in the industry who's ear is on the street all times tells me that everyone is having trouble paying. Even the big shops are asking for extensions and will only take consignments from any new designers. All the shops in LA are doing horrible. New York is not that great either. One of the top shops here in New York, Lounge has closed down. But they opened a new store but it's a discount place now. He tells me this new game the retailers are playing. Changing company names but keeping their shop and ignoring the accounts payable. It's a difficult time for all. But he's optimistic about the international market, for extending his line anyways.

He's in the premium streetwear market and he tells me the spending of $100+ on tees are long gone. Everyone is lowering their price points.

What does this mean for brands and buyers. They are cutting back on their trips and tradeshows. As everyone know the Vegas shows are the essential shows many brands have elected not to do New York shows. As this have been happening for a while now even before the meltdown. And the buyers are cutting back and not attending New York shows either since they have go to Las Vegas to see all the lines.

It was my first time at the ENK Blue Collective show. It has a nice set up, at Pier 94, quite a distance away from the subway so it was hard to get to. It was very small and traffic wasn't that good. A rep I spoke to told me that by far Project is much better. Saw a couple of interesting lines, it was my first time seeing Desigual from Spain. A very colourful line that just entered the US market for a couple of seasons and have been in Canada for a few seasons now. However it's quite big in Europe and opened a store on Broadway downtown Manhatten this past April.

Project New York was next. They moved from the Javitz convention centre to the Lexington Armory, which was really not close to anything. I went in and after a little while I figured it out. It's about half the size of last year which was already very small. People just wasn't getting the value in paying for a booth and not enough buyer's were coming to the event. Saw a couple of cool lines of jeans which has crazy washes and detailing, Red Pepper and Vintage Laundry. Check them out. They are kind of unknown so it's going to be hard to find them.
Jumped in the shuttle taxi which Project New York offers and headed to Capsule down at the church. It was pretty packed last year, see photos and blog. It was still pretty packed this year. Looks like things are getting better for this show. This is a show that everyone talks about. Very hipster underground New York kind of things. Met the guys behind Naked and Famous which is my favourite line of denim. Also saw this pretty cool line right before I left down in the basement, Shades of Greige.

I know last year they had a waiting list for Capsule and that's why this show is packed. This year Capsule is going to Vegas, interesting to see how they will compete there. I see Capsule as a New York style kind of show, it definitely has it's own niche.

You might think that with the bad economy there will be less lines and stores attending Las Vegas but I predict otherwise, it will be just as big as all the previous seasons. There's a new show called Premium at Magic. The popular Project Las Vegas will be cut in half and the half it cut will be at Premium. Heard that the buyers are more diverse and have higher price points at this show. I think that's where JUZD will end up being. But even with the bad economy it won't slow down the show, this is once in the year where the lines meet to get orders from their buyers, no way they will miss out on that.

Weekly Re-Style - Shia LaBeouf

2009-07-20T23:52:00.014-04:00

I must admit, there is something about Shia LaBeouf's dirty, rugged, and vintage look that I just can't get enough of. Most times, he does pull this image off quite successfully and the way the boy wears a fitted tee is impressive to say the least.

With saying that, something went terribly wrong when Shia decided to put this outfit together. Coutos to him for being bold enough to sport those purple pants!!! I actually kind of enjoy them on him , however that cardigan and that old Harley Davidson tee don't mesh well together. It comes off as three totally different styles in one outfit. Rule of thumb ; try to stick to one overall style at a time, things get to messy if not! To many trends (+) to many creative ideas

always equals (=) fashion disaster.

Since Shia was confident enough to put on the purple skinnys, I think we can work around them when we match them up with a basic black crew neck Juzd tee. What guy doesn't look great in a Basic crew neck? Better yet, what guy wouldn't enjoy looking great in one of the most comfortable tees he will ever put on. The basic crew neck is made from Juzd's signature bamboo with the Juzd classic fit and feel where you can find online on Juzd Shop for $41.40

All we really have to do now is throw away that powdered blue knit cardigan and swap it for a great asymmetrical urban outfitters black cardigan. Give the boy some high top, classic black and white converse and he is set to go.

JUZD Product Model Veronika London to be Featured on HBO Show

2009-07-18T09:00:00.000-04:00

What do we love more than when JUZD gets noticed? Obviously, we love it when affiliates of JUZD gets recognition for their hard work! Product model for the Big 2-5 handmade shirt (i.e. your sure invite to Chris Bosh's 25th birthday bash) Veronika London got noticed by always trendy HBO.

London will be featured in the series "Lingerie," which is set to premier this summer, as a model named Cindy. The series, set in the modeling mecca of New York City, follows models behind the scenes and allows viewers to witness these young beautiful women learn the tough lessons of the business at the hands of unscrupulous photographers and directors.

When asked about what she thought of her role in "Lingerie," London was delighted to reply:

"The experience has been surreal. I had a chance to work with an amazing cast and crew and directors that really knew how to communicate with actors to get the type of shots they wanted . Acting is definitely my number one passion. I've had a chance to see the first episode . The opening scene is actually a photoshoot of me! I found it really funny how I ended up playing a model on TV when modeling wasn't even my plan to persue but it seems to be what is opening doors. At the moment the show is only airing in the shoot and will come in Canada in the fall or in the new year !"

Keep on the lookout for this great show to soon grace your television screens, as well as for other JUZD affiliates who may make it big!

Weekly Re-Style - Ashley Tisdale

2009-07-15T14:20:00.000-04:00

Its completely understandable when a girl is on the go and she doesn't have that much time to put a fabulous outfit together. Nevertheless, Ashley Tisdale's attempt here for a casual trendy "look" failed horribly.

The sneakers and the high socks should never have happened!! Especially with the combination of a white tee and true religion hat. The overall look seems a bit to hard for Ashley's usual classy style.

Its defiently possible to brighten Ashley's look up, while still creating a casual cool on-the-go style. Lets start by re-styling Ashley in a Juzd "The Big 25" female black tee (which was designed in honor of Chris Bosh for his 25th birthday.) The tee is basic black with the number 25 making a gold statement at the front. It's a great crewneck cut along with the comfort that it brings from the 95% bamboo and 5% spandex.

The Big 25 tee also pairs very nicely with Ashley's black leggings. To complete the restyle and to add some color to the darkness of the ensemble, we will add a multi color Tolani scarf. Continuing to work our way down lets repeat the gold from our Juzd tee and add some Steve Madden t-strap ruffled sandals. The final touch will be a Mui Mui soft black leather shoulder bag!

See you can do a casual fabulous style without spending hours in your closet! Oh and Ashley...loose the ball cap all together ;)

JUZD Featured on Green Diary!

2009-07-13T02:08:00.003-04:00

We were surprised to find an article on us several days ago on SoJones, but we were even more stoked when we found another article the next day on Green Diary!An online blog that focuses on eco-friendly products and lifestyles, Green Diary examines how JUZD leads the pack in using bamboo as a sustainable fabric. In addition to discussing the exclusivity of the line and its urban style, Green Diary also does a comparison between cotton and bamboo to better inform its readers on making this great fabric choice!

Dream Control: Keep Cool By Being Cool

2009-07-09T10:00:00.001-04:00

With the great summer sun beating its rays down on our heads, we need something to keep our brains cool, while still looking as if we just came off the runway. With our fashion sense in mind, our dear friends in New York Jin and James sent us some hats by Dream Control.

These hats are nothing like the ones you find your dad wearing out to a Blue Jays game. Urban and edgy, Dream Control carefully decorates its hats with designs, such as dragons and skulls, for the bold fashionista. With these hats, you are sure to be the talk of the town with what was once thought to be a simple accessory.

Showing off the urban chicness of these hats, our sexy friend Karen Estrada tried out the hats with some JUZD shirts!

If any store is interested in getting these they can contact Brad MacKeen of Attainment Agency at brad@attainment.ca

JUZD Re-Style: Jordan Sparks

2009-07-08T08:30:00.004-04:00

Where to start with these two?

Jordan Sparks and her boyfriend Steph Jones celebrated his birthday this past Friday, unfortunately in those terrible ensembles! Although Jordan is impeccably talented at performing and singing, her clothes don't seem same here.

The cropped leather vest and busy graphic t-shirt doesn't flatter Jordan's body at all.

Lets keep her grey skinnys because they work well here and when paired with a JUZD Koncept Grey Crewneck Tee the result becomes perfection. This tee is ideal for Jordan's body because the majority of the graphics are on the back of the shirt instead of directly on her torso. Gold graphic detailing of the word Alpha hits the bottom front left, which brightens this white tee up!

Next throw on this S.W.O.R.D Ardea Leather Jacket, which is a longer fit for her as well it adds some great detailing with its ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem.

To complete this cool-chic look that Jordan was originally going for, we will add a blue faux patent croc clutch from Forever21 and some Loeffler Randall Mabel Strappy black pumps.

2009-07-06T10:24:00.001-04:00

The boyfriend clothing trend is very popular these days, and it comes as no surprise when we see girls sporting their beau's shirt!

Showing off the comic that is found inside every JUZD tee, Lena flips her boyfriend's tee inside out, and pairs it with cute denim shorts and a hat from Urban Outfitters. Given that this casual outfit is great for a stroll down busy the Queen Street, don't be scared that you'll be lost in the crowd. In fact, you're sure to be turning heads in this outfit, which screams "fashionista on a weekend."

Getting this look online:

1. The most essential part is your boyfriend's JUZD Original shirt (remember to flip it inside out for the cool comic!), which can be bought at the JUZD online store for $101.35 CDN.

2. Pair the shirt with a pair of BDG Destroyed Denim Shorts from Urban Outfitters for $58.00 USD.

Why logo shirts don't sell and the one exception

2009-07-04T18:00:00.006-04:00

What does Al Ries say about logo t-shirts? Wait, who the heck is Al Ries? Marketing genius, Al Ries, is one of the top and most respected marketing gurus, having written some of the most important marketing books. I not only love his stuff, but also highly respect his work.

So what does he say about logo t-shirts? They don't sell! Well actually, he never spoke of fashion or of design. And he never covered anything about t-shirts. But one of his theories did help me explain why there are so many brands that do logo t-shirts and why such brands will fail.

I never wanted to do shirts that dominantly say "Juzd" in different fonts, let alone have that as the main design element. I thought it was corny and not artistic, but everyone else was doing it. If all the top lines were doing it, and they were successful, then why wouldn't I be successful doing it? There must be a reason. Logo on shirt = success? Well, all the other brands think so.

Then, an epiphany hit me hard last night. It was so simple, yet it took me so long to figure out. One of the important lessons I learned from Al Ries was that companies that use acronyms in in lieu of their name will never be remembered, but wait, what about the many corporations, such as IBM, KFC, and HP, who use acronyms successfully?

Take into consideration this: IBM, KFC, and HP are not successful because they use acronyms, they are successful, and therefore, they can use acronyms to represent themselves. When you say IBM, everyone knows the company and what they stand for, but no one knows "SUE" which, in this example, stands for "Sam's Used Electronic" shop. Sam is an idiot for naming his company SUE, instead of naming it Sam's Used Electronic shop. But we must note that Sam is also an idiot for getting into such a bad business - no one makes money by dealing with used electronics.

People will buy shirts with Ed Hardy, Diesel, and Guess plastered all over it because everyone knows these brands. They have build a strong enough reputation to sell shirts with just their name on it. But no one is going to buy a shirt with "Sam's Collection" plastered all over it. So, the next time you see a collection of shirts from a new brand with no design, expect for their logo or name on the front, and shake your head while knowing why!

Logo plastering tees only sell when your brand is already well-known

JUZD Weekly Style: Giving the Alpha State a Feminine Flair

2009-06-29T09:00:00.002-04:00

Think that the JUZD shirt was only meant to be paired with denim? And think that there wasn't a very feminine, yet very chic, alpha state? Think again!

The JUZD Original Tee gets paired with a great tulip skirt and lace tights. Adding more femininity to the alpha state, a headband, from Oh Dina! by Nicole McInnis, as well as a bracelet by Suzanne Lorraine are spotted.

JUZD Weekly Style: A Shirt for All Seasons

2009-06-22T17:47:00.013-04:00

While some pieces of clothing can only be worn depending on the season (e.g. floral print in winter? Global warming hasn't affected us that much!), the JUZD shirt is an item that can be worn anytime, no matter the weather or the season.

Ready to head into the sunset's cool summer evening, our model Sebastian sports his JUZD Tech tee with a pair of bold Chanel shades and a toque from Urban Outfitters. Sebastian completes his scintillating look with a well worn-in pair of Nudie jeans.

JUZD Re-style: Joy Bryant

2009-06-10T07:50:00.011-04:00

The term bohemian, of French origin, was first used in the English language in the nineteenth century to describe the untraditional lifestyles of marginalised and impoverished artists in major European cities. Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or antiestablishment political or social viewpoints, which were often expressed through voluntary poverty.

After years of wearing high-fashion and working with some of the biggest names in the fashion indusrty, it seems actress and model Joy Bryant just wants to blend in with the crowd.

Even though the bohemian look is impoverished, this hard-working mom is anyting but.

Joy could update this boho look to boho-chic with a few changes from your favourite stylists here at JUZD.

The JUZD Streewtwear Basic, styled with See by Chloe Tapered Cropped Pants, Mike & Chris Thaddeus Two Band Ankle Cuff Flat Sandals and Flight Pattern Silk Scarf from Urban Outfitters make this look stylish and simple, for a girl on the go like Joy.

Trend Forecasting for Fall Winter 2009 2010 - Effects of recession on fashion

2009-06-04T09:00:00.006-04:00

Who really dictates the fashion trends, buyers or consumers?

I was in New York City last week and met with a lot of buyers, showrooms, buying services, and designers and was quite enlighten about the trends coming up for the season. Pretty much all of it is affected by the recession.

1. Lower price points. From online shops to brick and mortar stores everyone is lowering their price point. $100 tees or even $60 tees aren't doing so good. I was told by a couple of big online stores that their lower priced tees are flying out but having difficulties pushing the higher price tag ones. This sentiment was also given to me from a big department store in the US. They are lowering the price points on tees but they are still carrying the big names like Affliction and Ed Hardy but just lower price point.

2. Out with the bling bling. "No one wants to look like they have money," I was told. People feel guilty when they shop and buy flashy clothing. So the trend is for more subdue and subtle aesthetics. This is not good for Juzd as we are all about the heavy graphics and bling bling. It's funny, last year before the recession hit I showed the Juzd original to Holt Renfrew and they loved it and it turned out to be their best selling Juzd shirts. Now I design more of those pieces and they are like, "we are moving away from that now."

3. Cleaner aesthetics. There will always be a demand for graphic shirts, buyers are going for a cleaner aesthetics. Compare to other lines Juzd is is not as busy but buyers still put it in that category. As I have been trying to move to more of a busier all over prints, I am not moving back to the clean stuff.

4. People still want to go shopping. Shopping is like a drug for most women and in our capitalist society there is a sense of gratification when we own something new. Ever notice how complete you feel when you go out shopping and come back with something, anything! It makes you feel like your time wasn't wasted. Well people are still shopping and still want to shop, that's one of the reasons American Apparel is so successful in recent years. Their items are inexpensive and you can easily buy several of the same items in different colours. This makes shopping easy so you'll feel more productive.

5. Mix of high end and low end. People are piecing high and low end pieces together. People are pairing up thousand dollar leather jackets with $300 dollar jeans and $18 American Apparel tee. This may not be caused by the recession and have been happening before the recession but with what is happening, it is surely accelerating the trend.

Inexpensive American Apparel black t-shirt and tie-die tights
combined with leather jacket and boots

On my trip to New York I've learned about several of these trends. But the buyers tell me that they don't know for sure but that's what they think and they can be wrong. All of us in the fashion industry have been screaming and yelling that the busy gothic and graphic heavy shirts of Ed Hardy and Affliction are going out for as long as they've been in yet their sales are still expanding. I guess the diplomatic answer is that it's a combination of both and like anything in culture it's interdependent and organic.

JUZD Re-style: Keri Hilson

2009-06-03T09:00:00.004-04:00

Nothing is worse to me then an amazing woman, in a bad outfit. Keri has #1’s on the charts, but her outfit screams “I let a grade one style me today.”

With a quick fix from the JUZD team, Keri could have been rocking her look.

Keri's young, fresh style could benefit from an upgrade, easily provided by the stylish crew at JUZD.

Keri loves her liquid leggings, so we can keep these, add the JUZD TECH shirt, maybe a little black vest or cropped jacked (also a favorite of Keri's) and of course some bad heals, her hip-hop chic night look goes from childish to stylish.

If you want to take this look from night, to day, switch out the liquid leggings and heals, for a simple black pencil skirt and flats. Turn that TECH shirt around for the more subtle print on the back, through on a boyfriend blazer and this simple meets sexy outfit is ready for your day at the office.

Cosmo TV Promo Stars JUZD in Search for Next Female Rockstar

2009-06-02T17:35:00.002-04:00

Previewing the excitement to come in the fall, Cosmo TV ran a television spot showing off the busy streets of Toronto, as well as the perfect rockstar outfit - jeans and sunglasses paired with a JUZD Original shirt!
