Hong Kong--Media OutReach--15^thMay 2013--Iconic British high street fashion brand TOPSHOP will open its first store in Greater China on June 6^th, 2013.


The 14,000 square foot flagship in Asia Standard Tower, positioned at the heart of Hong Kong's bustling Queens Road Central, will bring the best of its cool British styles and trends, with more than 300 new pieces delivered every week.

Topshop owner, Sir Philip Green said: "This is a very exciting step in the continued growth of TOPSHOP as a global, yet uniquely British, brand. I am confident that fashion-loving Hong Kong customers will enjoy the retail experience and fantastic product offer that TOPSHOP offers them."

In addition to the trend-led mainline collections, shoppers will be able to enjoy the best ranges from the British brand including Unique, the seasonal collection shown at London Fashion Week, Boutique, the brand's premium limited edition line, and the designer collaborations TOPSHOP is recognised for worldwide.

TOPSHOP's world-renowned and complimentary by-appointment Personal Shopping service will be conducted from a dedicated suite, where experienced personal shoppers will be on hand to offer style advice.

A host of special activities on the streets of Hong Kong will lead up to the launch which will be officiated by Sir Philip Green.

LAB Concept, a subsidiary of iconic luxury department store Lane Crawford, which opened a new contemporary fashion destination in Queensway Plaza, Hong Kong, in 2012, will manage the TOPSHOP business, providing the retail space and operational expertise, including staff and logistics support. 

A TOPSHOP corner will also open in LAB Concept at Queensway Plaza later this year.

Andrew Keith, President of Lane Crawford, said: "From our own businesses, we've seen the growing demand from customers who want accessibility to fashion and beauty without compromise on design or trend. TOPSHOP is going to give them that and more -- an unparalleled experience with cool product and great service in a dynamic environment that makes shopping fun."

About TOPSHOP: Since it launched in 1964, TOPSHOP has become a major British style authority and one of fashion’s biggest success stories. In 1994, a TOPSHOP flagship store was born, as the brand took over a 90,000 sq ft space at London Oxford Circus in the heart of the West End. It remains there today, and is considered the world’s largest fashion store on the high street, attracting over 200,000 shoppers each week. In the USA there are flagship stores in New York and Chicago, and Las Vegas which opened in March 2012 within Fashion Show Mall. TOPSHOP is the only high street brand to show on schedule at London Fashion Week, and has recently celebrated ten years of sponsoring New Gen – supporting young British designers and giving them a platform to show within LFW and promote their collections to the international press. It was announced at LFW in February of this year, that TOPSHOP will extend its sponsorship of this scheme for a further ten years. A pioneer of design collaborations, TOPSHOP is also well know for nurturing of young talent, including Christopher Kane, Meadham Kirchoff, Hussein Chalayan, Richard Nicoll and Mary Kantranzou. In addition, the Boutique collection offers reworked future classics in luxurious fabrics with a focus on style rather than seasonal trends. All this sits alongside TOPSHOP’s trend-driven mainline, which includes glamorous going out pieces, footwear, accessories and an extensive selection of denim and jewellery. A recently launched line is TOPSHOP Make-up. Tapping into a wealth of existing knowledge of the hottest trends, the TOPSHOP design team has developed a directional and fashion led way of approaching colour in cosmetics. TOPSHOP has 319 stores in the UK, with a further 137 international franchises operating in 37 countries. The USA sites are fully owned flagship stores, rather than franchise partners. About LAB Concept: LAB Concept is the contemporary retail management arm of Lane Crawford, working in partnership with leading contemporary brands. It operates a 64,000 square feet mall under the banner of LAB Concept in Hong Kong’s Queensway Plaza. The mall features its own edit of contemporary fashion brands, an international cosmetic and skincare offer by Facesss and the latest, must-have footwear and accessories brands by Pedder Group’s shoespace. A selection of food and dining concepts completes the experience. Reported by Media OutReach 12 hours ago.

The brand first entered Greater China through a wholesale relationship with ImagineX's sister company, the iconic, luxury department store Lane Crawford, in 2008 and has been one of the best performing contemporary brands in its stores in Hong Kong and China. The China retail rollout is a significant driver in an international expansion plan.

 

Stacey Bendet, CEO and Creative Director, alice + olivia says: "China is the most exciting area to me right now!

The partnership with ImagineX provides an ideal platform to build on our current success within Asia. The fashion savvy generation emerging out of Greater China is seeking new ways to express their individuality, and ImagineX's wealth of expertise is the perfect vehicle to bring our brand's unique vision and fresh sensibility to this consumer. We anticipate the ImagineX partnership will account for up to 20% of our international business within the next 5 years."

 

ImagineX was the first to market with luxury brands in China in 1992, and has spent the past five years building a new generation designer and contemporary fashion business to complement its luxury and lifestyle business to realise the opportunity in the fast-growing affluent middle class that aspires to international fashion.

 

ImagineX's Vice Chairman & CEO Balbina Wong says, "alice and olivia is a rising star internationally and we're excited to be bringing a new generation designer to a new generation of fashion customers, at a time when they can grow together.

 

The brand has enormous potential in this market. It is feminine and at the same time eclectic; it has personality and a lifestyle, and it is accessible to the customer who wants to express herself through fashion. And alice + olivia's clear and consistent branding and iconic retail concept ensures that it is easily remembered, which is crucial in an incredibly fast and competitive market such as China," Ms Wong added.

“China Vacuum Pump Industry Report, 2013-2016” is the new market research report at ReportsnReports.com.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 25, 2013

As a device pumping gases at a high speed to improve and maintain a vacuum state within a wide pressure range, vacuum pump is widely applied in the industries such as metallurgy, chemical, food and electroplating.

In 2011, the output of vacuum pump in China registered 7.3996 million sets, with a year-on-year rise of 12.6%. In 2012, the figure approximated 8.5 million sets, rising by 15% from a year earlier. Affected by downstream demand and environmental protection pressure, the product segments of vacuum pump behave differently. For example, in spite of a wide application scope, the market share of water ring vacuum pump shrinks gradually due to the restriction of environmental protection pressure; the dry vacuum pump rose sharply and performed well in 2012, and the high-end market is mainly dominated by enterprises from Europe, America and Japan.

From the perspective of vacuum pump import/export unit price in China, the vacuum pump import unit price amounted to USD252.08/set in 2012, while the export unit price reached USD42.35/set in same term, indicating relatively high import dependency on high-end products. Along with the improvement of technical level of vacuum pump in China, the import unit price is now witnessing decline gradually.

As of the end of 2012, major foreign-funded enterprises of vacuum pump have made arrangements in Chinese market, including Gardner Denver, Leybold ULVAC, Osaka Vacuum, Tuthill, Edward, etc.. In particular, Gardner Denver has established 9 subsidiaries in China, involving Gardner Denver Nash Machinery (with major sales brand as Nash), Gardner Denver Thomas Pneumatic Systems (Wuxi) (Thomas), ILMVAC Trading (Shanghai) (ILMVAC), Gardner Denver Trading (Shanghai) (Elmo Rietschle), Gardner Denver Machinery (Shanghai) (Air Drive, Drum, Emco Wheaton, Gardner Denver, TODO and Wittig) and so on.

IT Services in China Industry Research Report – Now Available from IBISWorld

The IT Services industry in China has developed rapidly in the past five years due to growing domestic demand and government support. Industry revenue is expected to total $100.4 billion in 2013, growing at an annualized rate of 6.8% over the past five years, says IBISWorld.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 25, 2013

The IT Services industry in China has developed rapidly in the past five years due to growing domestic demand and government support. Industry revenue is expected to total $100.4 billion in 2013, growing at an annualized rate of 6.8% over the past five years, says IBISWorld.

Although the IT services industry in China has a short history, it has been expanding quickly. However, it still only absorbs about 20.0% of China's total IT investment, a lower proportion than in most developed countries (about 40.0%). That means there is still significant growth potential, says IBISWorld.

The IT service outsourcing and offshoring services segment experienced the fastest growth in the past five years. Driven by increasing computer usage and upgrade levels in China, demand for systems integration services has also grown substantially.

This industry has a low industry concentration level, with the four largest firms – Digital China, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Neusoft – contributing 18.5% of industry revenue in 2013. About 9,800 enterprises operate in this industry and most of these are small or medium in size. Local markets are generally served by small local enterprises that provide low-cost and generic IT services.

IBISWorld anticipates that the industry concentration level will increase, as large IT services firms acquire smaller local providers to gain market share in the growing small- and medium-sized business market segment. In addition, large enterprises with comprehensive service abilities and competitive technological advantages will continue exploring foreign markets, especially in the United States and Europe.

Disturbing Photos Of China's Coal Mines, Where Thousands Of People Die Every Year China is the world's largest producer and consumer of coal. Coal has contributed to China's pollution problem. And the coal mines are said to be the deadliest in the world, killing thousands of miners a year.

To combat the recent slump in coal prices, the coal industry is said to have asked the government to restrict coal imports to China through quality control. Some argue that the slump is being driven not by oversupply, but because of a lack of demand.

But with China continuing to industrialize at a rapid pace, the importance of coal is unlikely to diminish in the coming years.
