梅根王妃（Meghan Markle）在时尚领域发展的顺风顺水，不仅担任9月英国版Vogue的客座编辑，还宣布即将推出一个胶囊系列，用以支持其赞助的慈善机构Smart Works。
Meghan邀请了英国百货公司Marks & Spencer、John Lewis，时尚品牌Jigsaw，以及其设计师好友Misha Nonoo共同参与设计。
据悉，慈善系列将于今年晚些时候发售。同时，产品采用“买一赠一”的方式，即每出售一件单品，Smart Works就获得一件捐赠品。
Meghan在1月时成为Smart Works的皇家赞助人，并于当月公开访问机构总部；访问期间，Meghan还帮助一位女士做了面试造型。
Smart Works是一个致力于帮助失业女性重返职场的的慈善机构。在Meghan加入以后，Smart Works发展更加迅速。今年2月，Smart Works在伦敦帮助了187名女性，同比增长超过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 acquires full ownership of its Korea operation
Mulberry收回韩国市场，全资控股韩国子公司
来源：Retail in Asia
日前，英国奢侈品牌Mulberry收购了品牌韩国子公司Mulberry Korea剩余40%的股权，完成了对Mulberry Korea的全资控股。
Mulberry以130万英镑（约合人民币1091.6万元）的价格从韩国SHK控股手中收回这部分股权，加上去年收购的60%股权，Mulberry共花费440万英镑买断品牌对韩国子公司的控制权。
公司表示，这次收购与品牌的“国际发展战略一致”。品牌首席执行官Thierry Andretta补充，品牌很看重Mulberry在韩国市场的发展，认为韩国的奢侈品市场十分重要。
在过去一年半的时间里，Mulberry也招募了全新的管理团队，对品牌在韩的日常业务进行管控。
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.”
TMALL continues to partner with New York Fashion Week
天猫继续与纽约时装周的合作计划
来源：Retail in Asia
阿里巴巴于近日宣布，旗下B2C电商平台Tmall天猫将继续与纽约时装周：The shows的合作。
为了培养中国的时尚人才，天猫计划在今年秋季的时装周中将一些知名品牌和新兴设计师品牌引入国际舞台。
在“天猫国潮日”的时候，这些中国本土的时尚品牌和设计师将在纽约时装周的主秀场——Spring Studios展示他们原创设计。
天猫时装和奢侈品部门总经理Jessica Liu表示，“国潮”在中国受到了越来越多的关注，品牌在设计时不仅注重历史文化传承，也注入了实验精神和个性化表达。
自2017年起，天猫就与The Shows展开合作，为国内的设计师提供了更多展示才华的机会，也帮助美国的设计师进入蓬勃发展的中国市场。
2017年天猫双11潮流盛典期间，美国时尚品牌Jason Wu, Opening Ceremony和Robert Geller在中国推出“即看即买”大秀，通过阿里巴巴的平台向数亿中国用户展示了品牌最新一季的设计。
2018年，三个中国设计师品牌，包括潮流运动服饰品牌粒子狂热、杭州本土时尚品牌JNBY，以及独立设计师品牌Angel Chen在The Shows首次亮相。
天猫还将一系列先进的技术应用到平台中，比如在线展厅功能，360度成像技术和“即看即买”功能，让中国消费者不出国门就可以直接购买时装周秀场同款。
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香港利园花园店开业

近日，Dunhill在香港利园花园开了一间新店，进一步推进品牌的全球拓展计划。新店在设计上用大理石、胡桃木与玻璃、金属相对应，打造了一个明亮又现代感十足的时尚空间。
Dunhill还在新店融合了其他店铺的经典设计，比如上世纪50年代南罗迪欧大道店的外观，伦敦杜克街店和法国和平街店的原木家具。
有凹槽设计的玻璃和金属，与棕色的木质镶板相结合，也不禁让人联想到品牌经典的Rollagas打火机。
店内陈列的商品由品牌创意总监Mark Weston精心挑选，包括成衣、皮具及配饰等。
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与印度Reliance Retail公司就收购事宜进行谈判
来源：Businss of Fashion
近日，美国电商巨头Amazon与印度最大的连锁零售商Reliance Retail进行了探索性谈判，计划收购Reliance Retail约26%的股份。
据报道，阿里巴巴集团也曾试图收购Reliance Retail，但最终因为双方在估值方面未能达成一致而失败。
目前Amazon与Reliance Retail仍处于谈判的初期阶段，是否能够达成交易尚且未知。
Amazon一直与Walmart旗下的Flipkart争夺品牌在印度的市场份额，双方为吸引更多的消费者也推行了许多计划。
据路透社报道，Amazon计划今年在印度上线食品配送服务，但这一消息并未得到官方证实。
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.
