Ok–Those of you who follow The Talented Blonde know that she doesn’t mince words when it comes to retail and um . . .those stocks or concepts or managements who suck. $ANF Abercrombie & Fitch is one of those retail names who has lost its way due to the hubris (read laziness?) of its management […]

Ouch–you knew the quarter was gonna be painful over at Under Armour (UA)but geeeez. Tons O’ inventory out there that needs to go away. Great brand, but young, and the management team needs to step it up. Remember–anytime you try to go against NIKE (NKE) in the footwear market, you get CRUSHED. One word: OAKLEY. […]

Ok-so you can’t be surprised by what happened today with COH’s Q2 earnings. This is a classic case of an aspirational brand getting squeezed by true luxury brands during a recession. Also, a lessoned -learned when it comes to discounting. You can’t be a white knight in this environment. You have to bite the bullet […]

Here’s one more reason to love this Japanese retailer owned by the publicly-held Fast Retailing (TYO:9983). They collaborate with huge vendors to keep profits high and your prices low! Watch the saucy video here:

So, The Talented Blonde hates victory laps . . . but, you can’t deny that Japanese phenom FAST RETAILING kicked major retail ass-ets this December–a Herculean task in the global recession we are all in. Go with me BEHIND the brand, as I interview Shin Odake, the COO of UNIQLO, their hottest concept and new SOHO […]

So , alot has been said about all the deep discounting, and what has to be done to draw in the consumer this holiday season. As we saw on Black Friday, it is definitely a buyers market-and heavy promotions abound. Aeropostale was one of the few teen retailers that was winning the battle using a […]
