To illustrate the shifts taking place between professional sourcing and control over brands and consumers’, Nick Brien played a clip form “The Devil Wears Prada,†in which Meryl
Streep’s character lambastes an assistant who doesn’t distinguish between two shades of green belts. Basically, it’s a case for how designers shape everything, everyone wears.
Fast-forward, Brien says, and preeminent fashion house Channel has actually opened its premiere 5th Avenue Manhattan store for “design meets,†in which consumers can design their
own custom, handbags.
