Fashion Industry Uses Google+

The fashion industry is more then simply designing and selling clothing and accessories. The business has many complexities. If you want to break the business down into unique categories, it is our opinion that you could reach hundreds if not thousands of critical areas of the business. Some of which would include areas such as pattern making, fabric testing, supply chain management, garment production, retailing, etc. In addition to many of the primary categories that are easy to determine, the industry has many other areas that many people may not think are directly relevant to fashion. For example, HTML5. HTML5 is a language for developing technology such as websites, games, etc. This is relevant when “fashion companies” develop fashion websites, fashion games, etc. Therefore, even websites such as the HTML5 developers, HTML5 Consultants, and HTML5 programmers, are actually relevant to the clothing industry.
Various aspects of technology are relevant to the apparel industry. In addition to CAD software, pattern making software, e-commerce shopping carts, etc., social networking is also important to the fashion industry. The industry has been using social networking services such as the Fashion Industry Network, Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook, for some time now. If you have not heard, their is now a new kid on the block. Sure, they are not new to the internet, but rather new to the social networking landscape. You may have heard of this little company called Google. Well, they have launched a new service called Google+. Below you will find a few websites that will help you better understand what Google+ is all about and how it is helpful to the apparel & textile industries.
After you learn more about the G+ system, you will most likely start wondering how to grow circles of influence for yourself or your business.
Here are a few blog posts about G+ that you may have interest in reading. They are not technical guides to help you learn to use the system (maybe one is). The others are more for entertainment purposes.
Google+ Blog Post (some fun and some education)
We hope that this post has been of some assistance to you. If it did not help, hopefully it did not hurt either. Don’t forget to view an example of the system so that you can an idea of what circles, streams, and sparks are all about. You can check the fashion page to get a stylish tour of the system. By the way, although Facebook, and G+ are wonderful networking tools, don’t forget that the Fashion Industry Network is the best place for networking about the fashion industry.

Facebook Files for Divorce

Has Facebook filed for divorce?  Not yet, but if they did, the conversation could possible go something like this:
 
Was it so wrong that I wanted to expand my horizons and grow a circle of new friends?  It should not cause you so much tension that I simply want to hangout with my buddies.  Plus, let’s keep in mind that as I tried to keep open streams of communication between you and I, you continued to build a wall between us.  In fact, your method of communication limited our comments way more then my method.  Sure you have recently opened your self to longer conversations, but some times doing a little is simply, “a little too late”.  In all honesty, I often feel that you are treating me like I am a monster for wanting to spend time with my new friends.  You act as if I am a fire breathing dragon or some sort of disease weakening you with my viral and infectious nature.  I think you should have treated me in a much better fashion.  Rather then treat me like a piece of used clothing, you could have cherished me like an elegant piece of vintage fashion.  Rather, you treated me like an old bag to be tossed around.  That is obviously not how either a man nor a women wants to be treated.
 
Although I wanted to stay true to what we had developed together in the past, some times new and amazing revelations pop into our lives and we dare not slow them from developing.  As I tried to explain before, even though you think I have fallen for someone else, I was only trying to broaden my network of friends. Furthermore, as I tried to explain to you in our numerous conversations, it is absolutely not too late for our relationship.  Although you believe I have sparks for another, you are welcome to join my circle just as others have done.  Although I have not worked hard and made a job of asking others to join my circles, I am more then happy to ask you. 
 
If we put aside our differences, we can work together to grow circles that we all can enjoy.  Wouldn’t that be a plusplus or win-win situation for everyone?
 
According to sources close to the matter, the unofficial Facebook document that has declared irreconcilable differences may or may not have contained the above mentioned quote.  Most likely, no document exists.  However, one never knows, does one.
 
 
Are you using Google+ to cheat on another?

Bridal Fashion : Get Married to Save the Economy

Bridal fashion is important to the fashion industry as well as the bride and groom.

Behind every great wedding gown, their is a fashion designer, fabric supplier, trim supplier, bridal fashion retailer etc.  The fashion industry employs many people that have a specific role in regard to the development and sale of bridal fashion.

Due to the sluggish economy, it is of our opinion that more people should get married so that we can keep the fashion industry churning along.  As more people get married, the fashion industry will have more wedding gowns, veils, and garters to produce.  This will help keep more people employed.

If consumers are carefully watching their expenses and are shopping less for the holidays, it is important that they transition from concentrating on holiday fashion to wedding day fashion.

So, if you are single, you should really help the economy (help the fashion industry) by finding someone to marry.  OK, you may not be ready for marriage, but will you ever be… You may as well go for it now.

Create fashion jobs by getting married and support your countries economy.

More from Vera Wang November 2011

Below you will find comments from Vera Wang.

Are sleeves a style consideration or a necessity? Both, I believe.

The perfect sleeve can enhance a wedding gown. A long, narrow sleeve is flattering and fashion-forward while an elbow-length sleeve is stylish but also provides coverage. If you are confident about your arms, then sleeveless (strapless) will work for you. The sleeveless gown is a signature for me as it is timeless, chic and sophisticated while also practical for dancing.

If you choose sleeves, remember the proportion of the armhole will impact the construction of the sleeve and the range of your movement. Most importantly, choose something you feel comfortable and confident in. -XO, Vera

How Much for Fashion Blogger

Just incase you have not noticed our blogs website address has changed today. The new address is now www.FashionBlogger.org
This is a much shorter address then our previous FashionIndustryNetwork.WordPress.com address.
Although we will not be disclosing how much we have paid for the FashionBlogger.org domain name (website address), it is possible that it was over one million dollars. However, it is also very possible (more probable) that it was under $1,000,000. If you are really that interested in learning the value of fashion domain names, you will have to do your research elsewhere.
Actually, the truth be told, we have owned the Fashion Blogger web address for many years. Therefore, we actually paid very little. However, after we turn this into the greatest fashion blog of all time, possibly it will be worth trillions.
Anyway, welcome to the new Fashion Blogger website.

Top Fashion Stream on Google+

The Top Fashion Stream on Google+ has been officially announced.  The winner of the top stream award in this category is actually a page called “Fashion Stream”.  Wow, what a perfect title for the perfect page.  OK, to be fair let me make something perfectly clear before I continue with this blog post.  Although I said that the award has officially been announced, the reality is that their is absolutely nothing official about it.  As far as I know, as of this moment, their is no “Top Stream Awards” for Google+.  However, if their was actually an award ceremony, I believe that the fashion stream page at https://plus.google.com/113682492472834280915 would actually win the Top Fashion Stream on Google+ honors.  Sure, the fashion page would be a close second place, but I am fairly certain that the Fashion Stream would come in first place.

Fashion Calendar Changes to Fashion Events

The Fashion Calendar page on Google+ has now changed to the Fashion Events page.
