Clothing and Fashion

Archive for the ‘clothing’ Category

Disney has an unsaid & indispensable bond with every American kid. As a result, every household in the US has at least one item that is pertaining to Disney, then, it might be produced by, made by, endorsed by or licensed by Disney.

As a result of this undying & natural affinity, Disney & the kids seem to have a strong bonded relationship that is being carried forward from generations together.

Disney Corporation understands the same and have been producing baby clothing ever since they have been in to the business. The strategy is simple – with every new movie they include this clothing in their merchandise that promotes the main characters of the film. In 1977, George Lucas introduced in this format of marketing. He proved his point when Disney licensed the tie-ups with the Star Wars and sold Star Wars clothing & other merchandise like a hot cake.

Now-a-days with every new Disney movie, the kids know the characters even before the parents have barely heard about them. Sometimes, these titles or the main characters become major hits among the kids but fail to impress the parents like it happened with Bambi. But of course, it is not always true. Usually the characters prove a hit for both the parents as well as the kids. To understand this phenomena better, you compare the sales of Home on the Range as against Finding Nemo. It goes without saying that the products that strike the chord equally with the parents as well as the kids, are the better sellers in the market.

Here are some major Disney hits among kids & babies’ clothing.

1. The Little Mermaid

While it was released 16 years ago, the movie’s characters have marked a milestone among people. The young girls till date love to be Arial – The Little Mermaid. The mothers also love to help their daughters become one. Disney has successfully encashed the character of this ‘titular mermaid. While loads of T-shirts, swimsuits, & varied other items of clothing for babies & children sell big with the ‘Arial’ designs; several other motifs of the film are appreciated by the kids as well as their parents.

2. Finding Nemo

Another intriguing & successful interpretation of the aquatic world by Disney, their latest offering Finding Nemo is selling massive amounts among babies’ clothing, especially for the swim wear. Also cool & soothing summer wear for girls as well as boys borrow exclusive designs from the film’s blue toning. A rather interesting fact is that the first look of the ‘infants’ page on the company’s website that is Disney Direct features a one-piece girls’ swim suit based on the theme of the flick, Finding Nemo. The company’s web store says, this is getting rave responses.

3. Classic Characters

Who can forget the beginning of the world of Disney – that is – Mickey Mouse and his sweaty pie, Minnie Mouse. The characters of this series that are Mickey’s friends Goofy & Donald Duck, Donald’s love Daisy Duck, Mickey’s pet Pluto and Minnie Mouse are the all time classic hits of Disney in all regards, then why not kids’ clothing!

Among 20 toddlers playing in a room at least 10 would indispensably be marked with one of these characters or their toys would have one print of the same. It won’t be wrong to say that when it comes to clothe your Mickey & Minnie, these classic characters are a sure & simple choice to go for!

In its broadest acceptance, the term ‘clothing’ refers to coverings for the entire body. When speaking about clothing, we can also refer to coverings for the hands , feet or head. Almost all the people on this planet wear clothing. Other terms such as ‘dress’, ‘apparel’ or ‘garments’ may be used when referring to clothing.

The reasons why people wear clothing are both functional and social. The human body needs protection against some weather or environment features, and clothing provides safety for people. There is also a social and cultural meaning associated to clothing.

There are many other ways in which a person can decorate his/her body, such as cosmetics, makeup or perfume, but these do not constitute a form of clothing, but are more likely to contribute to the general message that a particular style of clothing transmits. Some other article, which are carried and not worn, such as purses or umbrellas, are not considered clothing, but rather fashion accessories. Out of the two genders, it is the women who resort mostly to accessories and decorations. Most of the cosmetics or makeup on the market are designed for women, but that doesn’t mean that men are entirely neglected. And as far as clothing is concerned, both men and women receive the same attention, more or less.

The functional aspect of clothing refers to the protection of the human body against the dangers that surround us, such as strong sunlight, precipitation, extreme cold, insects, abrasive substances and others. Throughout history, experience has taught humans to be extremely inventive as far as their safety is concerned. We can now find pieces of clothing design especially for protection against some hazards. Such pieces of clothing are swimsuits or diving suits, costumes for bee-keepers, clothing with high visibility, leather costumes for motorcycle riders, and so on.

As important as protection, there’s another feature of clothing, which refers to the social message that clothes send. Several pieces of clothing can transmit messages about a person’s occupation, religious affiliation, social or marital status or even sexual availability. Of course, all of these messages can be sent according to some criteria that a particular society or community sets.

The most common way of denoting occupation through clothing is a uniform. Uniforms are worn by many categories of people, from police and firefighters to schoolchildren. As far as sexual availability is concerned, certain pieces of clothing may denote that the person wearing them is more receptive to sexual advances than others. In most parts of the world it is accepted that showing your hair and part of your skin is a signal for availability, whereas covering them signals the opposite. Thorough consideration must be put into choosing clothing with the purpose of expressing availability or openness to flirtation, especially by women, since the possibility of being confused with prostitutes is considerable, and that would certainly be quite unpleasant.

In fact, women are assumed to be a lot more attentive with their clothing than men. But according to their personality, occupation and status, women tend to pay more or less attention to their clothing. While some women use clothes and accessories to look good and emphasize some physical qualities that they have, other women choose to be practical, regardless of the way they look wearing those particular pieces of clothing.

However, women must keep one thing in mind. No matter where they live or to which extent they choose to align themselves to the latest fashion, they will keep being attractive to men through clothing, just as they have always been.

Hi! I always wanted to start my own company, but I have no idea how!
I want to open my own outlet store somewhere, but I dont know how to get the clothes made.
How do I get a factory to make the clothing?
I have all these ideas and drawings of the clothing kept in a book, so… Help? ):

Start by going to business school. The next step is not so easy because it takes a tremendous amount of money to open a merchandise store with custom clothing. You’ll need to have a significant amount of the money just to get a business loan and you’ll need an exceptional business plan.

You might be better off starting small and making a few things on your own and trying to sell/show them at trade shows. You’ll at least get some useful feedback.
