creation of (fashion) collections Explanation: Lowest confidence to start with since this is gut feeling off the top of my head. Looks to me as if by abandoning subcontracting and buying in 100% ready made clothing, retailers (in France) are necessarily abandoning the notion of a "fashion collection" with a common theme, style, colour, etc., or at the very least are delegating that side of the business to the (overseas) manufacturers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 49 mins (2006-09-11 15:38:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- That appears to be the meaning in the site you quote. However it is not clear to me if the person concerned there does a SINGLE collection that he then proceeds to sell to multiple retaileers, or a series of collections, selling each to a different retailer. In the latter case it might well be a "collection of collections" that he parades around the place. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-09-11 15:51:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- However there are a number of sites (in French, English, and Dutch) where this "collectioning" activity refers to what is done by the BUYER, not the seller/manufacturer. In this case it appears to be a matter of constituting a "fashion collection" that, instead of being created by a single designer, is an amalgam of the "collections" of a number of manufacturers, presumably with a common thread (ha ha). |
