Through its retail expansion, Kors also plans to move forward on two fronts. First, it will develop its business shop-in-shop more than 500 locations in North America from 1000 locations. This will help the company take advantage of the high demand in the domestic market. In the last quarter, comparable sales in North America increased by 35%.

Second Kors will withdraw its online activities internally. Currently, the company relies on Neiman Marcus for its e-commerce business, but he wants to change for 2014. This will add to the bottom line of the company, and should have an impact on the gross margin as well.

The future of the industry by Israel in the West Bank

  For some time rejected Oded Chai, responsible for training and international affairs at Shenkar Engineering and Design University, the idea of ​​a more unconventional business. Last winter, a group of manufacturers of textile Palestinian Shenkar every week for training in fashion design - lessons that are part of the Peres Center for "Partners in Business, Partners in Peace" peace project funded European Union.

The training program is what gave Chai his idea: "To a cooperative, where designers and Palestinian Israeli manufacturers work in close cooperation and equal distribution of benefits to establish," he said.

The products are intended for U.S. and European market. "It can be wonderful," he said.

Chai even know that this plan will take time and hard work before the project can become a reality. This is exactly why tomorrow Shenkar, organize the Peres Center and the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce conference a unique business, where Israeli fashion designers and brands with leading Italian designers and manufacturers of the Palestinian Authority will meet.

This meeting Peres Peace House in Jaffa is to establish relations between different groups on the ground and focus on the economic benefits associated with these activities to deepen the geographical proximity and skilled workers in the PA. At the end of the conference, there will be one-on-one meetings to develop business relationships.

The obvious advantages of the Palestinian textile industry - its relatively low cost, will make small quantities and familiarity with the local market conditions - make it well suited to work with the Israeli designer. However, capacity and reality are not the same.

"Many designers are not even aware of such a possibility," Chai said. "And those who are afraid of being cheated, or the quality is not high enough. The problem here is the need to understand that it is possible, despite the objective and non-objective" difficulties.

The designer Ronen Chen said it. Well as a design issue "For people outside of the field of fashion, from manufacturing to Gaza may seem like a strange idea, as there are those who turn up their noses at the quality of the manufacturing in China. But as soon as I have a large sewing in the Gaza Strip that made your favorite handmade evening wear "jeans had, he said.

But one day, the closed shop and he needed to find other solutions.

Chen now produces about 30 percent of its assets in the West Bank, and it is not just a matter of economics or geography. "I worked with a sewing workshop in Baka al-Sharqiya 15 years., The quality is excellent and I am very satisfied with the reliability and professional connection between us. Can I not trust the shop owner blind, even if the political situation deteriorated, he worked closely with us on, "he said.

Israeli textile manufacturing has narrowed over the past two decades, said Chen. It's a job disappear because no one wants to be a tailor, when they grow up. "The wave of immigration from the former Soviet Union brought with well-trained professionals who are integrated in the local industry, but there is no generation after them. Most sewing in Tel Aviv were closed, and those that are still in progress in order to to work in Israel, particularly in Galilee, for the most specialized and inappropriate to work in our region, the ability to change and high complexity requires adjustment.

"The West Bank, however, had workshops that specialize in different areas. In Nablus, for example, there are shops that know how to sew pants and jeans. Through the years it turned out that way, it seems been passed on and preserved the tradition from generation to generation. There are also wonderful workshops for leather work. This is an industry that keeps its strength, but Israeli designers have to work. "

Build an independent economy

Designer Dorin Frankfurt has a factory in Tel Aviv, she is proud and reflects his belief in the local manufacturing sector. But in 2007, she worked with H & O chain in the production of a collection of the Palestinian Authority, which has left a very positive impression.

"The clothes that we have made in the PA were stunning from a technical perspective. I was so impressed with the quality of work that I do not understand why anyone would want to do [Far] East at all," she said. "In Nablus and Hebron, there are surprisingly professional experienced in working with leather, so why not work with them? Furthermore, it is our duty to help the welfare and livelihoods of the people of PA., it is for the good of all. course, each case is different, and it is important that things are done professionally and fairly. "

Although there is already a Palestinian companies export their products to the United States of America, Dubai and Jordan, Tarek Sub, Chairman of the Palestinian Union of textile and clothing industry, and his deputy Majdi Zreir - who attend the conference - define Israel as an important goal for expanding their businesses.

"Two decades ago, there were about 90,000 people in the occupied Palestinian textile industry, but today only about 15,000 work there," said Zreir.

The Palestinian textile industry has of course affected by the process of globalization and the wiping motion of the manufacture in the Far East, and many of those remaining work supplies for Israeli manufacturers.

"Today, there are nearly 200 large and well [textile] workshops in the PA, and approximately 1,000 small house workshops. Together, the textile industry, which form a central element of economic Palestinians," says Zreir. "We want an independent economy to build for the Palestinian people, rather than relying on the support from countries around the world. "

For Edan Raviv, Director of the Department of Environmental Affairs and the Peres Center, which oversees the project, the expectations do not have to stop in order to increase the volume of production. Two training programs have been carried out: First, focusing on innovative working methods, quality control and modeling, while the second deals more with the design in three dimensions. Both were determined to produce a new generation of fashion designers in the PA.

"The response we received from the participants [two courses] was that it was not enough, and we hope that there will be a sequel," Chai said, noting that the process created a little interest and curiosity in Palestinian industry.

Your goal is to train manufacturers and designers to produce?

"That's a good question. My recommendation is, programs to train designers who can develop lead the creation of a College of Fashion in the PA at the end. Turns out that he is a great hunger for it, even though the fashion design or design in general is still not considered a desirable profession in Arab society. And the people in the textile industry itself have realized that if you for others it gives you status, and if you are able, a collection and marketing of design are already any other status. "

To feed Michael Kors Fashion, first ladies and the hungry

  At Michael Kors is not airkissing his fashion empire or multi-million dollar celebrities started to tanned, the American superstar designer is often the task without ambition, fight against hunger involved. His connection with the cause has deep roots, having started with his support for a new non-profit based in New York City in the 1980s, we love God, which offers meals to people with life-threatening illnesses.

These days, however, the designer wants to expand its efforts considerably, to fight through the partnership with the World Food Programme of the United Nations (and Halle Berry) against hunger in the world. Their first joint venture: the launch of a limited edition Kors watch to fund nutrition programs for children in need.

During a trip to Toronto this month Kors spoke with Globe style campaign STOP Hunger Watch and many other issues, eco-impact of fast fashion and his encounters with some of the most elegant First Ladies of Amercia what really happened in the taping of Project Runway , which he left at the end of 2012.

How did you get involved with the World Food Programme?

I am not a politician or a scientist, and I can not heal or to end the war the disease, but hunger is a solvable global dilemma. So I think we looked at the World Food Programme of the UN, which we [with God's love that we] could do and do it globally in New York.

They asked personally Halle Berry, to promote this initiative. Why her?

When people ask me who is the Michael Kors woman is, I would say it is a glamorous juggler, the woman who makes it all look easy. And it's Halle Berry. [It is] talented, successful in his career and still look fabulous. But it is also a grandparent and very compassionate. It was obvious.

Why you have decided to design a clock as the first design?

I've never seen anything for philanthropic reasons before done so because, as a consumer, I've always been a little skeptical of where the money goes [the points made available for this purpose] with am. But once we worked with WFP us, I thought we should have something concrete. The [$ 25 donation for each new] shows the 100 series, part of the STOP Hunger campaign provides 100 school meals observe that each clock shop. Without these meals available, children can not go to school, and the cycle of poverty will continue.

How is against your social conscience in your clothing collections

We are constantly pushing the textile and thread on sustainability - and we are always slow. Unfortunately, we now have a generation of young women who grew up with the idea of ​​disposable fashion. Something that you only buy once or twice carry, then throw the least green thing you can do. We do not have closets full of clothes and bags, especially since many women eventually reach the same bag or even black pants. I try pieces that you design wear all the time.

What is the one item that every woman needs this fall?

A jacket or coat unbelievable. They are the ultimate look changer. You can do everything from jeans wear yoga pants, but put on a great layer adds polish.

Is there something you can live with himself?

The black color. If you tell me that I do not wear bright colors or patterns, I'd probably stay in the house.

What is the best piece of fashion advice you've ever received?

My grandfather, who was a great lover of fashion, thinks you should buy the best quality and buy less.

What was your greatest professional achievement?

When I started drawing, I was doing a trunk show at Bergdorf Goodman and Jackie Kennedy bought a few pieces. That was exciting for me because it was such an innate style. It was the highest honor.

Speaking of First Ladies, did you know that Michelle Obama would wear your sleeveless dresses for her first official portrait?

No, we were for it a dress that was similar to one of our designs they did was contacted. But they asked us to change the color and some other small changes. I had no idea what I do. And it is interesting to see how the world changes. I never grew up with the idea that the first lady is wearing a sleeveless jersey dress with no jacket. When I saw the picture, I thought: This is really a new era. And of course, everyone suddenly wanted his arms.

What kind of drama behind thescenes Project Runway you can share with us?

Frankly, we are all goofballs, but we never got to happen. Once we ate Cheez Doodles and since everyone always joke that [another judge] Nina [Garcia] and I are most tanned man in the world, I say we should use Cheez Doodle dust like a highlighter tan. So we smeared on our faces.
