The designers sample garments derivatives in Los Angeles

June 4th, 2009 by admin

As a top fashion designer in Los Angeles, Kambiz Hakimis revealed recently that the handwork and determination his fellow designers and him are putting on the sample garments is derived in the similar crowns as it leaves their warehouses. Hakimi whose label ‘mesmerize’ is celebrated for it’s original patterns over elegant silhouettes and sensitive garments gave his experience as an example of this unfair habit. It happened to him when a group of famous retails representatives from New York appealed for this incredibly created sample and he accepted. Later, Hakimi was to receive the shock of life when he saw the crown of his sample selling on the retail e-tail site at discount price.
As a result, Hakimi is now cautioning the other fashion designers about this unfair practice quoting that such incidents have gone up in the Los Angeles city and even in other fashion capitals. He continues to warn them against the so called ‘private- label business’ and also thievery as witnessed during the latest trade shows. He advised the fellow fashion designers to be careful when managing their original models right at the warehouses.
It can be both destructive to success of the season as well as embarrass the fashion house and tarnish its reputation if at the verge of a trade show, as it happened to Susan Burnett- a Los Angeles manufacturer’s representative. It was during her recent appearance at an apparel trade show when more than two hundred and fifty samples of her opening line was discovered missing and it happened yet again the next season.
Burnett’s job was put on the line by these two incidences because the company’s samples were not insured and she had no clue where to start tracing them and she decided to be done with trade shows exhibitions. As Robert Mahl, the veteran insurance executive and vice president of Santa Monica, California-founded Kessler Risk and Insurance services put it, the smaller businesses normally fail to buy policies to cover such thievery losses. If they buy them, it usually is never adequate to cover the goods on transit and he advises representatives such as Susan and others to try the inland marine insurance or stock thru put insurance policies.
