“Frederick’s of Hollywood, brainchild of the inventor of the push-up bra and purveyor of “marry-a-millionaire” lingerie since 1947” (Blakemore, 2015). Frederick’s created the “sex sells” image for themselves especially marrying a millionaire. They cannot go back from this and just try to reinvent themselves to cater to the everyday women when the company was built from these products. Frederick’s of Hollywood’s catalogs have most of the women in bed in the most uncomfortable position in the most uncomfortable looking lingerie. Victoria’s Secret catalogs are on a beachy location or just on location, not just a set. “That is, demureness is sexy in a middle-class setting and directness is sexy in a working-class setting.” (Blakemore, 2015). The catalogs create the ambiance of where the girls are when they are wearing the lingerie, therefore, it makes us the people shopping from these catalogs feel like we need to be in that place or atmosphere to wear what they are

The clothes she is designing are simple, elegant and well-fitting to the female body giving women the confidence needed to wear these clothes to work, relax and as casual, every day, wear. Beckham’s designs can adapt to the different bodies that exist and have become very popular around the work because they are simple, elegant and supreme. In a YouTube video, Beckham has said that she herself would wear her own design and because of this her designs have become very popular and available to many individuals. Currently there are more than 500 stores who carry the VB brand. VB provides designs for the “trendy” woman who works and cares about fashion and style. Beckham’s designs are very reserved, in the sense that they cover the body adequately and in no way or form depict nudity or improperness. Due this “reserved” design, Beckham’s designs are seen as socially acceptable designs that have a focus on the artistic aspect and general overview rather than the skin showing clothes designs that many like to wear in the United

They cater to young adults and young adults only for one powerful reason: It is at this age in which the sexual tensions between male and female are greatest.

A weakness for Vuitton as a brand is their limited target market and customer segment. Although their products are very accessible and attainable, they only cater to the elite individuals. The longevity of debt within the company was very interesting because these obligations can cause of inability of growth within the company (Louis Vuitton-History, 2015).
Although lululemon has a cult-brand status because of its committed customer base, with sales of about $2.65 billion in 2018 the company had faced a lot of controversies in past years as most of it production control is given to overseas partners rather than being personally involved in it. The company had to face huge embarrassment in 2012 because of yoga pants which were too sheer to be worn. Not only this the company had to face product quality issues in 2010 and was in news because of controversial statements by its founder. The company has a mission statement of sharing their culture with the community which allows for some real conversations to take place by gradually developing a collection of bold thoughts.
The principles of marketing (The Times 100, n.d) are a range of processes concerned with finding out what consumers want, and providing it for them. This involves the ‘4ps’ of marketing; price, place, product and promotion. The product decision in any company involves dealing with goods that should be offered to a group of customers (Jobber & Ellis-Chadwick, 2012). Burberry maintains a product line with great width and scope in which their products fall into two main categories; fashion or continuity. Their fashion products are designed to be responsive to fashion trends and are introduced on a collection to collection basis (Burberry, n.d).

The business model that sets Zara apart from other clothing retailers is how rapidly the company changes stocks and releases new product lineups. The company averages 12-16 collections annually which equates to more than one lineup a month. Due to stock being limited and the rapid production Zara brings forth, their items are viewed as exclusive promoting further business. Their customers are happy knowing that their specific article of clothing is more “rare” due to only having an average of a two-week window to purchase the clothing. The company specifically targets current trends and has them in the store within 30 days. This maintains the brand’s uniqueness and relativity in fashion.
