• Creativity Gets the Boot | Earnshaw's: Read an article in the New York Times today about the role of department store creative directors and how they?re loosing their jobs?kind of end of an era. As the position is described in the article, the creative directors are responsible for scouting new designers and generally keeping the store fresh and giving it character. Um, and they?re getting rid of these people? With few exceptions department stores are anything but fresh and charismatic.

And the query gains more relevance given that shoppers are more buy-now/wear-n ow oriented than ever. What gives? Why is the apparel industry unable (or unwilling) to adapt? On the current schedule, everyone looses. Department stores? margins plummet when stock is rushed into deep discounts before the season is even underway in order to make room for the next too-soon delivery. Similarly boutiques have a small window in which to sell their products before the majors go on sale and ruin the season. Is it possible to readjust the product cycle or is this just the rhetorical question for the ages?
