Home shopping systems appeal to new tastes abroad

As the local home shopping industry is practically saturated, some local home shopping channels, mostly owned by conglomerates, are aggressively stepping into overseas markets to attract international consumers.

Market experts said CJ O Shopping, Koreas second biggest home shopping channel after GS Home Shopping, could be the leader in rapidly expanding overseas.

CJ O Shopping expects its sales in international markets will soon be 1.5 trillion won ($1.4 billion) this year.

The business runs home shopping programs in Korea, China and India, and it introduced a site in Vietnam in July.

With the planned release of a home shopping channel by the Korea Chopard Mille Miglia Automatic Watch Federation of Small and Medium Business at the end of this season, the whole amount of home shopping businesses can increase to six, a informed the JoongAng Ilbo. Intense competition in acquiring domestic market shares is obvious and penetration of overseas markets has changed into a must for the players.

Because the companies go abroad, they understand that consumers in Korea, China and India have different spending habits and tastes.

The utmost effective five products in Korea cost significantly less than 100,000 won ($94) each and include cosmetic goggles, lingerie and hair dyes.

The companys major consumers are homemakers within their 30s and 40s and it focuses on products with reasonable rates to a target price-conscious customers. buy a Perrelet watch Among the 19 million households that watch tv across the country, 15 million households are cable audiences. CJ O Shoppings programs are transmitted on cable networks.

Whereas Korean consumers prefer to purchase beauty items, Chinese consumers prefer individual and household goods, including baking pans and airtight storage containers.

Dongbang CJ, a joint venture with Shanghai Media Group in China, broadcasts its home shopping programs to 2.5 million electronic cable viewers in Shanghai. CJ E Shopping introduced its Chinese business in 2004.

The company considers personal and family care products are extremely popular in China because many Chronoswiss Tora Dual Time Replica Watch ladies in Shanghai are company employees with high salaries.

Many Chinese consumers have a keen fascination with cooking their very own food following a group of news reports about Rado True Replica Watch food security in China surprised them, explained Yoo Jae-seun, a official at Dongbang CJ. In place of eating dinner out more, people prefer to make at home. This has resulted in a surge in revenue of airtight containers and frying pans produced by Korean manufacturers.

CJ O Shopping released its company Star-CJ Network India in 2009 in a joint venture with the Asian media class STAR, targeting wealthy Indians in Mumbai.

In India, high-end technology tools are the hot things. The No.1 trying to sell item in India was Phillips home entertainment speaker system, which costs over 200,000 won and the sixth most widely used item, a Samsung notebook, is 700,000 won.

The other three top trying to sell goods are kitchen appliances and tech tools listed between 100,000 and 300,000 gained.

When we describe high-end goods we say theyre sold at shops, said Kwak Sang-won, a official at Star-CJ Network India.

In India, products sold on home shopping programs are seen as products, he said.

Bohos back

Just when you thought it was safe to have binned your hipster belts and peasant tops it looks like Bohos back.

Boo hoo I hear you cry. Well don’t freak out just yet. It is back yes replica rolex datejust mens but with a luxe twist that I think is much sexier than anything we saw back in its heyday in 2005.

Kate Moss always rocked this look better than wannabe Sienna Miller jaeger lecoultre amvox alarm watches I think and the diminutive in supermodel proportions fashion queen has made it take centre stage of her latest collection for TopShop.

So why is it so popular? I was flicking through the Sunday Times style guide yesterday and Gucci designer Frida Giannini said its because its "an ageless look" with "contrasting shapes [that] suit the body better than any other style".

Watch out though if you thought you could just route out your old favourites. Of course it isn’t that easy.

Fashion does have a funny habit of mixing things up just enough so that theres a fine line between Has-Been and Fashion Queen.

Cheesecloth tops are out paisley chiffon blouses are in. Statement leather trousers take the place of statement leather belts and forget Moroccan carpet bags; fringed replica u-boat watches studded ponyskin bags will give you boho with bite.

The summer of first resorts

</figure> With the amount of tropical trips sipping umbrella drinks with tommy bahama this resort season it would be silly to miss out on a little retro-floral fun when Stella McCartney replica richard mille watch Prabal Gurung Riccardo Tisci and Marc Jacobs are tipping big at the tiki bar!

With neoprenes and more athletic visions of resort collections taking over the traditionally floral or Riviera ranges for the last few seasons it’s probably unsurprising that the bloom has been revisited with just a digi spritz of Hawaiian tropic. I for one am grateful that designers have decided to make this year’s florals fun as I’m sure are the undercover policeman who have been unfailingly supportive of the bahama camp shirt for what must be decades now. See boys? Sit in one place long enough and someone will bring that banana daq right back to you.

My advice with paradise palm prints and retro florals is to pair them back with neons and neoprenes or pack a punch with print on print.

Weigh down Givenchy’s iris print dress replica omega constellation iris my choice watches or Balenciaga’s sporty printed silk with Nicholas Kirkwood or Prabal Gurung’s patent summer straps for a fairly simple take on the trend. Try the Stella McCartney top that started it all with Mugler’s asymmetrical neoprene skirt and a 3.1 clutch or darken the mood by topping Cacharel’s gidget print with a graphic leather and silk Raoul tee and Givenchy’s iris clutch.

You could go to the source with O’Neil’s original Hawaiian print boardshort and give it an unexpected twist by pairing with an Alexander Wang chiffon button down ulysse nardin el toro watches Karen Walker shades and a Balenciaga bootie… or continue the sporting silhouette with an Iris print top and Pucci’s poppy fuscia pants played off against a Technomarine diving watch and neon clutch.

All too subtle for you? Pop on Stella’s Hawaiian pleat front pants with a colour blocked Prabal Gurung floral shirt and a graphic Mary Katrantzou jacket for an acid laced cocktail punch.

THOM’S PICKS
 
6. (Belvedere) RED
Limited Edition Vodka
I’m no connoisseur of cocktails but I know what I like and let me tell you (at the risk of sounding like a drunk) I love my vodka and I have always loved Belvedere. Maybe I feel an attachment to it because of my Polish heritage but I’m also sure it’s because I love the taste. Belvedere has been making a scene in the fashion world most recently supporting Vogue Australia in launching it’s first iPad application in case you were wondering what the link to fashion is. This limited edition range also donates 50% of profits to creating a AIDS/HIV free generation by 2015 which is a fabulous cause for any brand to get behind!
 
7. Missoni x Havaianas  
Thong Collaboration
Italian fashion powerhouse Missoni caused quite an uproar with lines up to 100 people long waiting to get a piece of this brand-made-affordable collection when they collaborated with Missoni. Now is your chance to get in on the action with a pair of Missoni Havaianas. YES! They exist and I am obsessed. My number one summer thong pick these are a must have for all and they come in two delicious trademark Missoni patterns for men and women.
 
8. Spirithoods  
Faux Fur Animal Hoods
Since launching in California Spirithoods have worked with some amazing names. One look at the label and you can see why Ke$ha was the first face of the brand and rightly so. These hoods are perfect for any festival (cannot wait to wear mine at Falls!) and are the statement piece for any summer event - imagine a cute little grizzly bear hood at the moonlight cinema on a balmy evening.... divine! It’s a shame you can’t wear them for during the intense Australian sun but for those of us living in Melbourne and the southern states we all know how cold it gets and SpiritHoods will last you all the way into winter as well.
 
9. Gideon Shoes 
Brand new canvas range
I was OBSESSED with the Gideon kicks in their last collection - a smart way to use pests in shoes combining cane toad skin and kangaroo leather. The buttery texture was actually just so comfortable. Their latest range quirky and colourful canvas shoes are the new must give items aptly titled “The Giving Shoe.” Also a brand with a moral backbone these shoes are anti-sweatshop with everything Australian made and all proceeds going to their Street University foundation giving homeless kids an education. I actually don’t see how it could get any more ethical.

Goddess Ring
“Know who you are and then adorn yourself accordingly” is the quote written up on the Lotus Mendes website. I am sorry but whoever you are you need the Goddess ring.
