Liz Claiborne Upgrades Its Information Systems

Liz Claiborne designs and markets an extensive range of women's fashion apparel and accessories, with versatile collections ranging from casual to dressy. The company also designs and markets men's apparel and furnishings, as well as fragrances for women and men. Net sales for a recent year were a record $2.4 billion.
It should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever tried to keep up with fashion trends, that change is driving the apparel industry today. But change is occurring more than in the design of clothes. The structure and nature of retailing and manufacturing are also shifting. Geographical boundaries are disappearing. Limitations are dissolving. Above all, consumers today look for versatility and value, and they, not the retailers or manufacturers, define what constitutes those qualities.

The trend certainly shows a divergence in how some customers view their needs with regards to semi-formal clothing, but the firm runs the risk of diluting not only the perceived quality of its clothing, but also alienating its current client base that is partial to the experience HSM offers in its stores. This experience includes personalized expertise on new fashions, custom tailoring, and the status associated with purchasing and wearing the company’s clothes.…

    * The retail wearing industry is highly competitive, with buyer power being the strongest force. The painful materials needed for manufacturing are relatively abundant, which limits supplier power and accommodate room for price negotiating. There is low cost of entry, so the industry is flooded with competitors and knock-off substitutes, but it’s the consumer who decides what is fashionable and trendy. The retail clothing industry is driven off customer loyalty, and must instantly adapt to the customers economic needs.…

    Liz Claiborne Inc designs and markets a global portfolio of retail-based premium brands including Juicy Couture, Kate Spade, Lucky Brand Jeans and Mexx. In 1976, a relatively unknown dress designer, her textile-veteran husband and two partners established, Liz Claiborne Inc., a design-driven company that would revolutionize the fashion industry – from how women dress for work, to where product is source, to how it is sold into and at department stores. The concept was simple: Provide the ensemble-driven sportswear that had been available for many years at designer level prices through the likes of Calvin Klein and Bill Blass, but make it affordable for the working woman. Up until this point, department stores were by a large classification-oriented where pants, skirts and shirts were in a different department. Additionally, department store buyers were classified and not equipped to buy merchandise from one brand across product lines.…
