Download or read book The Glitter Plan written by Pamela Skaist-Levy and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part memoir, part business manual, and 100% juicy—the inside story of Juicy Couture, one of the most iconic brands of our times While working together at a Los Angeles boutique, Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor became fast and furious friends over the impossibility of finding the perfect T-shirt. Following their vision of comfortable, fitted T-shirts, they set up shop in Gela’s one-bedroom Hollywood apartment with $200 and one rule: Whatever they did, they both had to be obsessed by it. The best friends’ project became Juicy Couture. Pam and Gela eventually sold their company to Liz Claiborne for $50 million, but not before they created a whole new genre of casual clothing that came to define California cool. Pamela and Gela built an empire from the ground up, using themselves as models to build their patterns and placing their merchandise by storming into stores and handing out samples. They balanced careful growth with innovative tactics—sending Madonna a tracksuit with her nickname, Madge, embroidered on it—and created a unique, bold, and unconventional business plan that was all their own: the Glitter Plan. Now, Pam and Gela reveal the secrets of Juicy’s success: how they learned to find and stick with the right colleagues and trust their instincts when it became time to move on to their next project. They also share their missteps and hilarious lessons learned—like the time robbers stole one thousand pairs of maternity shortalls, which the partners took as the first sign to get out of the maternity clothing business. Told in the bright, cheery voice that defines Juicy style even today, The Glitter Plan shows readers how to transform passion and ideas into business success. Aspiring designers, Juicy fans, and business readers of all stripes will be enthralled by the story of spirit and savvy behind Pam and Gela’s multimillion-dollar fashion empire.

Download or read book Transport in Plants I written by M.H. Zimmermann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When WILHELM RUHLAND developed his plan for an Encyclopedia of Plant Physiol ogy more than three decades ago, biology could still be conveniently subdivided into classical areas. Even within plant physiology, subdivisions were not too difficult to make, and general principles could be covered sufficiently in the two introductory volumes of the Encyclopedia on the physical and chemical basis of cell biology. But the situation changed rapidly even during the 12-year publication period of the Encyclopedia (1955-1967). The new molecular direction of genetics and structural research on biopolymers had an integrating effect on all other biological fields, including plant physiology, and it became increasingly difficult to keep previously distinct areas separated. RUHLAND'S overall plan included 18 volumes and about 22,000 pages. It covered the entire field of plant physiology, in most cases from the very beginning. But, as each volume appeared, it was clear that its content would soon be outdated.

Download or read book Luxury Brands written by Pasols Ashlee and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until very recently, the name Arnault Bernard was much unknown to many people as a billionaire not to talk of him as the richest man in the world. For a very long time, bill Gate was the world richest man. Today the case is different with house hold names like Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett and very recently, Elon Musk who are all Americans with a slight disruption from the Mexican Carlos Slim who hindered the dominance for a notable period of time. For some years, at the beginning of this century, the richest Europeans were the Aldi founders Karl and Theo Albrecht of the budget supermarket. Although they made it to the top 10, they never claimed the number one spot. It is easy to tell a lot of stories about societies by the kind of people that becomes rich in such societies. It is true that most of the world richest people today, made their money from technology or its related components. In the earlier centuries, most of the world's richest people made their money from industry related businesses and the oil boom. People like John D. Rockefeller made his fortune from kerosene and gasoline founding the Standard Oil about a century ago. He controlled over 90% of all the oil in the United States at his peak and became one of the richest people of his time. Today, oil is still very available but it seems the world is gradually moving ahead of the dire need to totally depend on oil. Somehow, technology is competing forcefully to substitute the direct use of oil in so many ways. The invention of the solar and wind powered facilities and other technological advancements seems to threaten the continuous global high demands of fuel and by extension reduces its ability to produce the world's richest people. It is agreeable that before the pandemic in 2020, the oil industry was already struggling with a weakened global economy with a decrease in demand for oil energy and a lot of oil producers flooding the market with cheap fuel. After the pandemic, the names seemed to have changed to include the richest man in Europe-Bernard Arnault. The French Tycoon and CEO of a fleet of luxury brands overtook all of them to become the world richest person. This feat by the Roubaix Champion left the whole world especially America asking the question: "Who?" It was a mystery for a man whose name most people have never heard especially in America before the news broke out all over the world as the world richest person who is worth over $180 billion. Bernard Arnault is a man with many sides. He comes across as a wry. A focused man with thick graying hair and a bushy eyebrow, his usual offset with a boyish grin and blue-green eyes that seems to be always pale. Those eyes, notable for the hardest, largest and one of the blackest pupils in his class with a highly accented English who almost always would pronounce the "th" sound as an "f"; and seemed to pronounce the word "nothing" as "nofing". Arnault's delicate frame and a waxy boyish face with oversized eye brows have earned him the nickname "Tintin", after the Belgian cartoon character. For those who have been with him in meetings, it is very common to see him clasp and unclasp his hands as if he was trying to wash them with an imaginary soap and water. To some others, they believe him to be the "foolish genius"; foolish because he runs a company that makes products that no one really needs. A genius because he runs the world's largest and by far most successful driver of luxury goods that makes several billions of dollars selling products to buyers who actually do not need their products. It is crazy that anybody would want to buy a pair of Dior oblique swim short in purple technical canvas for $1,500 but the truth is, owning a Gucci, Dior or Tiffany products is the greatest desire of some people. To know more about Bernard Arnault ? Find that in the pages within.
