Lenzing Spring/Summer 2014 Fashion & Color Trends

[New York], November 18, 2012

RESOURCE

RESOURCEFUL

Fibre development can influence the entire life-cycle of a garment.


Re-juvenating textile waste can take us far. Fashion design is important in supporting this. Multiplicity of ideas and solutions; the epoch is creative.


Openness is the punch-line.


Innovators, change makers and collective mindsets are the drive behind reforms.


Design for need.


Craft offers a renewed interest in artisanal intelligence.


This is how we conceive all this to be, on the fashion scene, through the Lenzing's fashion and color themes:

SENSUAL, SERENE, COLORQUAKE, OASIS and DIAPHANOUS + NEON NEUTRALS

WFFC Supports Charitable Efforts

Posted: December 21, 2012

Women in Flavor Fragrance Commerce (WFFC) has made a number of charitable contributions to organizations and causes this year including the American Heart Association, American Lung Association, Angels of Hope, Bottomless Closet, Museum of Arts Design and Susan G. Komen for the Cure.


In response to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and to support local relief efforts, the WFFC also made monetary contributions to American Red Cross, City Harvest, the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, and Sandy Relief Fund NJ. In addition, the WFFC Cincinnati chapter participated in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in October 2012.


“As many challenging events have affected our lives this year, today more than ever, unity is one answer to create a safer and more peaceful environment," said WFFC President Celine Roche. "The WFFC board members have generously dedicated a large amount of their time to invest in causes beyond their personal advancement. As a group of women we’ve made a difference that would have been difficult if not impossible to reach alone."

Avon Makes Moves Toward Cost-cutting

Posted: December 12, 2012

Avon Products, Inc. has outlined initial steps toward the company's previously communicated annual cost-savings target of $400 million by the end of 2015.


Initial steps of the cost-savings initiative will include a targeted global headcount reduction of approximately 1,500 positions and related actions. The company also announced today it will exit the South Korea and Vietnam markets. These actions are aimed at concentrating resources on high priority markets and activities and boosting efficiencies, and are expected to be largely completed before the end of 2013.


The cost to implement these actions is expected to be in the range of $80-90 million before taxes, of which approximately $50-60 million is expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. The company anticipates that these initial steps will account for approximately 20% of the total targeted savings.


"In order to turn around the business, we are focused on driving top-line growth and aggressively managing our cost base," said Sheri McCoy, CEO of Avon Products. "The decisions outlined are necessary to stabilize the company and begin the process of returning Avon to sustainable growth."


Additionally, Avon expects to communicate additional steps toward the cost-savings goal as it progresses.
