來源：Retail in Asia
梅根王妃（Meghan Markle）在時尚領域發展的順風順水，不僅擔任9月英國版Vogue的客座編輯，還宣布即將推出一個膠囊系列，用以支持其贊助的慈善機構Smart Works。
Meghan邀請了英國百貨公司Marks & Spencer、John Lewis，時尚品牌Jigsaw，以及其設計師好友Misha Nonoo共同參與設計。
據悉，慈善系列將於今年晚些時候發售。同時，產品採用「買一贈一」的方式，即每出售一件單品，Smart Works就獲得一件捐贈品。
Meghan在1月時成為Smart Works的皇家贊助人，並於當月公開訪問機構總部；訪問期間，Meghan還幫助一位女士做了面試造型。
Smart Works是一個致力於幫助失業女性重返職場的的慈善機構。在Meghan加入以後，Smart Works發展更加迅速。今年2月，Smart Works在倫敦幫助了187名女性，同比增長超過50%。
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is on a roll with her fashionable projects.
Days after revealing that she guest edited the September issue of British Vogue, Meghan has announced that she is launching a capsule collection of workwear to benefit her royal patronage Smart Works, a charity that benefits disadvantaged and unemployed women who are entering or returning to the workforce.
She recruited an impressive set of collaborators for the project: British department stores Marks & Spencer and John Lewis, the brand Jigsaw, and her close friend and fashion designer Misha Nonoo.
The collection will launch later this year and will be sold on a 「one-for-one basis,」 meaning an item is donated for each item purchased.
The duchess became the royal patron of Smart Works in January and had a public engagement at the headquarters that month. During her visit, she helped style one woman for a job interview.
Smart Works has grown quickly ever since Duchess Meghan became involved. In February, the organization helped 187 women in London, which is almost 50 percent more than it assisted in the same month last year.

Mulberry收回韓國市場，全資控股韓國子公司
來源：Retail in Asia
日前，英國奢侈品牌Mulberry收購了品牌韓國子公司Mulberry Korea剩餘40%的股權，完成了對Mulberry Korea的全資控股。
Mulberry以130萬英鎊（約合人民幣1091.6萬元）的價格從韓國SHK控股手中收回這部分股權，加上去年收購的60%股權，Mulberry共花費440萬英鎊買斷品牌對韓國子公司的控制權。
公司表示，這次收購與品牌的「國際發展戰略一致」。品牌執行長Thierry Andretta補充，品牌很看重Mulberry在韓國市場的發展，認為韓國的奢侈品市場十分重要。
在過去一年半的時間裡，Mulberry也招募了全新的管理團隊，對品牌在韓的日常業務進行管控。
Mulberry said that it has taken full control of its operations in Korea with the acquisition of a minority interest in Mulberry (Korea) Co, Ltd.
The British luxury brand has acquired the 40% of the share capital of Mulberry Korea previously held by its local partner SHK Holdings Limited, and as a result, the unit is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the group.
The jointly-owned business in the country was only set up last year with SHK having handled the brand locally over a long period before that.
The additional investment made in Mulberry Korea is £1.3 million and together with its initial investment of £3.1 million made last summer, brings the group’s total investment in the unit to £4.4 million.
The company said the purchase is 「in line with the group’s international development strategy」 but gave no further details on whether the last year has been a success or not.
CEO Thierry Andretta added: 「Over the last 18 months, we have recruited a new management team and taken day to day control of the business in South Korea, an important market for luxury goods where the Mulberry brand has significant growth potential.」

來源：Retail in Asia
阿里巴巴於近日宣布，旗下B2C電商平臺Tmall天貓將繼續與紐約時裝周：The shows的合作。
為了培養中國的時尚人才，天貓計劃在今年秋季的時裝周中將一些知名品牌和新興設計師品牌引入國際舞臺。
在「天貓國潮日」的時候，這些中國本土的時尚品牌和設計師將在紐約時裝周的主秀場——Spring Studios展示他們原創設計。
天貓時裝和奢侈品部門總經理Jessica Liu表示，「國潮」在中國受到了越來越多的關注，品牌在設計時不僅注重歷史文化傳承，也注入了實驗精神和個性化表達。
自2017年起，天貓就與The Shows展開合作，為國內的設計師提供了更多展示才華的機會，也幫助美國的設計師進入蓬勃發展的中國市場。
2017年天貓雙11潮流盛典期間，美國時尚品牌Jason Wu, Opening Ceremony和Robert Geller在中國推出「即看即買」大秀，通過阿里巴巴的平臺向數億中國用戶展示了品牌最新一季的設計。
2018年，三個中國設計師品牌，包括潮流運動服飾品牌粒子狂熱、杭州本土時尚品牌JNBY，以及獨立設計師品牌Angel Chen在The Shows首次亮相。
天貓還將一系列先進的技術應用到平臺中，比如在線展廳功能，360度成像技術和「即看即買」功能，讓中國消費者不出國門就可以直接購買時裝周秀場同款。
Alibaba Group’s B2C e-commerce platform Tmall announced it would continue its partnership with New York Fashion Week: The Shows.
To cultivate fashion talent in China, Tmall plans to bring both established brands and emerging designers to the annual event this fall, it said in a statement.
Under the banner of 「Tmall China Cool,」 the Chinese brands and designers will showcase their collections at a dedicated space at Spring Studios, which hosts some of the creative industry’s most prestigious events, such as the Tribeca Film Festival and Independent Art Fair, in addition to NYFW: The Shows.
Liu said the platform sees 「China Cool」 as a growing trend in China, marked by designs that focus more on heritage and authenticity and driven by consumers who are 「increasingly experimental and individualistic,」 she added.
Jennifer Taylor, vice president of Global Consulting and Business Development at entertainment company IMG’s fashion business, which oversees the fashion week event, expects the partnership to bring a fresh line-up of new talent and experiences to New York’s fashion industry.
「We are always looking for opportunities to reach new audiences through NYFW: The Shows. Tmall’s position as the leading B2C e-commerce platform in the China market is unrivaled,」 said Taylor.
Their partnership started in 2017, and they have since rolled out a series of initiatives to showcase Chinese talent at New York Fashion Week, while helping U.S. designers break into the burgeoning fashion market in China.
In 2017, Tmall featured American brands GREY Jason Wu, Opening Ceremony and Robert Geller in its annual fashion extravaganza – a major 「See Now, Buy Now」 runway show held in the run-up to Alibaba’s 11.11 Global Shopping Festival – giving their latest clothing lines first-time exposure to the hundreds of millions of Chinese customers who visit Alibaba’s platforms.
Also as part of the partnership, three Chinese designer labels – including sportswear brand Particle Fever, Hangzhou-based JNBY and indie designer Angel Chen – debuted their new collections at NYFW: The Shows last September.
Tmall also offered them advanced technologies to engage retail buyers and consumers, such as an online showroom feature, 360-degree imaging technology and 「See Now, Buy Now」 capability, which allowed consumers in China to purchase select items straight from the runway at NYFW as they viewed the show.
New Hong Kong Dunhill store opens at Lee Gardens
Dunhill香港利園花園店開業

近日，Dunhill在香港利園花園開了一間新店，進一步推進品牌的全球拓展計劃。新店在設計上用大理石、胡桃木與玻璃、金屬相對應，打造了一個明亮又現代感十足的時尚空間。
Dunhill還在新店融合了其他店鋪的經典設計，比如上世紀50年代南羅迪歐大道店的外觀，倫敦杜克街店和法國和平街店的原木家具。
有凹槽設計的玻璃和金屬，與棕色的木質鑲板相結合，也不禁讓人聯想到品牌經典的Rollagas打火機。
店內陳列的商品由品牌創意總監Mark Weston精心挑選，包括成衣、皮具及配飾等。
A new Hong Kong Dunhill store has opened at Lee Gardens as a further step in the brand’s global expansion strategy in Asia.
The store’s designers have engineered a bright and contemporary space with marble and walnut wood in counterpoint with glass and metal details, used as recognisable codes of the house.
The use of grey marble takes inspiration from the facade of Dunhill’s 1950s South Rodeo Drive store, while walnut burl cabinets, housing men’s accessories, are inspired by the original furniture from London’s Duke Street and Paris』 Rue de la Paix stores. Fluted glass and metal details together with brown wood panelling recall the textures and finishes of classic Rollagas lighters.
Featuring a curated selection of luxury pieces by creative director Mark Weston, the Hong Kong Dunhill store is showcasing ready-to-wear garments alongside leather goods and accessories.
Amazon in Talks to Buy Stake in India's Reliance Retail
Amazon與印度Reliance Retail公司就收購事宜進行談判
來源：Businss of Fashion
近日，美國電商巨頭Amazon與印度最大的連鎖零售商Reliance Retail進行了探索性談判，計劃收購Reliance Retail約26%的股份。
據報導，阿里巴巴集團也曾試圖收購Reliance Retail，但最終因為雙方在估值方面未能達成一致而失敗。
目前Amazon與Reliance Retail仍處於談判的初期階段，是否能夠達成交易尚且未知。
Amazon一直與Walmart旗下的Flipkart爭奪品牌在印度的市場份額，雙方為吸引更多的消費者也推行了許多計劃。
據路透社報導，Amazon計劃今年在印度上線食品配送服務，但這一消息並未得到官方證實。
Amazon.com Inc is in exploratory talks with Reliance Industries Ltd-owned Reliance Retail for buying up to 26 percent stake in India's biggest brick-and-mortar retailer, the Economic Times (ET) reported on Thursday.
Talks began after Reliance's negotiations with China's Alibaba Group to sell a stake in the retail entity fell through due to differences over valuation, the financial daily reported citing two senior industry executives.
However, there is no certainty the initial discussions will lead to a deal, according to the report.
Amazon has been engaged in a pitched battle for Indian market share against Walmart Inc's Flipkart, with both companies announcing various plans to attract more customers in what is viewed as one of their most important growth markets.
Reuters reported on Monday that the Seattle-based e-commerce giant was planning a foray into the burgeoning online food delivery business in India this year.Both Amazon and Reliance did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comments.
