  1. as someone who planned to open a boutique and contacted some labels i can say that the main problem is that you need to order stocks at least 6 months before opening and you need to make next order before even opening and you still dont know what the demand is in your area. it can be smaller than you thought so you lose money or can be bigger and you end up with empty shelves which is bad for business as well. brands have very limited stock you can order on demand.

    another problem is to get over what you would like to stock for your personal reasons (taste, image reasons etc) and what would actually sell and be a good business. sometimes you have to "dumb down" with your roster to make money.

    the more established and respected brands (apc etc) usually want to know other brands you will stock. they are also interested in the design of the store, where it`s located etc. 9 times out of 10 they want to meet personally in showrooms.

    ive decided to wait with my plans until the potential custom base gets bigger in my area. good luck with your idea!.

    ve came across this news about CR doing Barney`s only line of sneakers. In the picture it looks very similar to Common Projects desert shoes. Def. better than what they are doing with their main line. I dont think minimalism in sneakers should be reserved for CP only but im not sure if they are not using the same soles/factory as Common Projects.

  3. ive seen pharell (yeah him again) rocking this companys blue blazer in "maybe" video and amerie in recent ricky martin video. also seen a jacket with this logo on wajeed from PPP in some photo on the net. the logo is some kind of military badge, im sure some of u know what i mean. i hope its not a super-obvious-late-pass question..

    thanks in advance
