PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
American Eagle fights back against dupe culture
Dupe culture has taken retailers by storm, reshaping consumer behaviour by prioritising affordability and accessibility over traditional luxury. Unlike counterfeits, dupes do not replicate branding or logos, but instead offer nearly identical alternatives to premium products at a fraction of the cost.
US tariffs on Chinese imports encourage shifts in global supply chain
Many apparel and footwear brands that rely on China for manufacturing are scrambling to adjust, as high tariffs on Chinese imports threaten to drive up costs. Consumers are expected to feel the brunt of this, as it may raise end prices.
Further consolidation as Catalyst Brands is formed from struggling retailers
The formation of Catalyst Brands, born from the merger of JCPenney and Forever 21’s parent company, SPARC Group, marks another significant step in the ongoing trend of consolidation within apparel and footwear specialists. As major players unite under umbrella corporations, the battle of the brands is shifting towards competition between parent companies, making it increasingly difficult for smaller online brands to break through.

DISCLAIMER
Apparel and Footwear Specialists
Apparel and footwear specialists are chained or independent retail outlets with a primary focus on selling one or more of the following categories: clothing, footwear, and/or fashion accessories (costume jewellery, sunglasses, belts, hats, gloves, handbags, scarves, etc.). Apparel specialists include specialty apparel like wedding dress shops. Example brands include Primark, TJ Maxx, and Zara. Sportswear retailers, such as Adidas and Nike, are excluded from this channel and are included in Sports Goods Stores; this is due to the companies considering themselves sports companies as opposed to apparel companies.
