Types of Shopping

A brand is an image that appeals to consumers. It is a selling name of the company, firmly rooted in the customer's minds and getting a positive reputation, forcing them to choose a particular product. Competent branding of a product with approximately the same or lower quality parameters, compared to the competitor's product, has a higher chance of success.  One of the most common practices is branding cards. This solution has a lot of advantages and helps in business development.  Benefits of branded cards Companies that actively use branding take the lead in the marketplace. Attention equals profit.

Johann Bödecker is the CEO and founder of Pentatonic, a sustainable design and technology consultancy firm. He's seen the gamut of sustainability fiascos in his career. His favorite example, he says, was hearing about a ski jacket making its way to Tanzania, thanks to donation efforts. "A 3XL sized ski jacket in Tanzania. Really?" he says. "That encapsulates what is wrong today." It's examples like these that have motivated him to push the apparel industry to be more calculated and nuanced in their approach to "sustainability." While donating used clothes can be a worthwhile effort, they're not always landing up where they need to, or finding a new home. Plus, the bigger issue is that we are producing more clothes today than we ever have in history (an estimated 150 billion new items every year!): so recycling and repurposing efforts just cannot keep up with increased production. Bödecker and Eileen Fisher are calling on brands to...

Can you have too much of a good thing? Chinatown is one of the best neighborhoods for dining in Las Vegas, and while the community remains as vibrant as ever, its growth has also led to an increase in traffic congestion. Chinatown is one of the few places in Vegas where parking isn't always easy and convenient, and with businesses overstuffed into crowded shopping plazas, it can be hard for a new restaurant to avoid getting lost in the shuffle. So it's no surprise to see Asian dining taking hold in other pockets of Las Vegas. The movement is especially strong at the southern edge of Spring Valley on Rainbow Road between the 215 and Windmill Lane. Call it Rainbow Row or simply Arroyo Crossing, named after a road that runs through a sprawling retail center with a Walmart and Home Depot as anchor tenants. Nobody agrees on the name of the neighborhood, but the area's reputation for ever-expanding dining options is catching on. "Restaurants are popping up left and right on ...

With a new "phygital" fashion show, Tommy Hilfiger is set to return to New York Fashion Week for the first time in three years with its "See Now, Buy Now" collection. The American clothing brand's physical Autumn 2022 show will take place on September 11 at the Skyline Drive-In in Brooklyn, and will also be live streamed to Roblox users — where avatars wearing the collection will walk through the metaverse platform's virtual New York City. The metaverse platform currently plays host to a global community of over 50 million daily users. The new retail concept takes a twist on Tommy Hilfiger's traditional habits by connecting the legacy brand's audience to a new, immersive Web3 environment. "[New York] is where fashion, art, music and entertainment was all coming together when I first started out in the industry. And today, it is still this approach that inspires me to engage with the cutting-edge communities building new creative experiences...

Sweatpants have been popular since the 1920s—when they were first invented in France for athletes to run and stretch in—but our obsession with them has fully taken off in the last few years. Since 2019, sales have skyrocketed, driven by our demand for all-day comfort, as we take work calls from the couch, run errands on the fly, do workouts in the living room and generally live more unstructured and fluid lifestyles. Sweatpants—with their stretchy knits and pull-on waistbands—are the kind of wardrobe basic that can handle whatever activity you're up (or down) for. Lately, both fashion and sportswear brands have been turning out fresh, elevated spins on the classic: Lululemon's French Terry joggers keep you cool for workouts and zipping around on the weekend. Tory Burch's track pants are cut from velour and look chic with sneakers for a night out. Quince's cashmere sweats are cozy enough to sleep in. Bold colors—neons and pastels—have turned sweats into a fashion s...

It's safe to say that no one would pass Moncler off as easy-going technical wear, but for those looking for the next level in dynamic clothing, look no further than Moncler Grenoble. For Fall 2022, its Creative Director Sandro Mandrino zeroes in on functionality and clothing fit for otherworldly atmospheres, echoed by the Thibaut Grevet-shot campaign. Gaggles of Moncler Grenoble-clad models perch atop a sparse hillside in the latest collection, which is injected with iridescent lilac, spectral white, and silver to combine in the same winter's night haze that might serve as the backdrop for this collection. What makes Moncler Grenoble stand out from the house's other sub-labels is its technical qualities that are met with lightweight construction, resulting in garments that can be worn all year round. For example, the Peyrus jacket is lightweight and compact enough to be folded up and stored in one's bag, but features full-blown waterproofing come rain. Elsewhere, t...
