About These Industry Posts
Read as a set, the twenty-seven posts are a cross-section of what the trade was dealing with in 2014 and early 2015. Labeling and compliance appear twice — the CA identification number for Canada and the registered identification number for care labeling — alongside authentication security for clothing. Manufacturing technology runs through the list: ECO-DYE by YKK, Archroma's traceable dyes from natural waste, temperature balancing technologies in clothing, Hemseal adhesive thread, Alvanon's technical fit virtual avatars and fashion fit movement, and nesting software versus production optimization. Business stories fill out the page: California port effects on the fashion industry, American Apparel replacing Dov Charney, Global Brands Group fashion licensing, the Trans-Pacific Partnership's textile provisions, apparel industry research for 2014, warehouse management systems, and quality inspections protecting apparel company integrity.
If you want to learn more about the industry, you may also want to try the fashion news section of the website, linked above, which carries industry news as an ongoing section rather than a blog archive.
