I just received the new Fashion Mannuscript magazine in the mail yesterday. Hereâs some snippets. âI saw business going online a long time ago,â Malone said. âJust dealing with retailers â it was more work than was worth it, we donât have to deal with retailers wanting things back, taking discounts or whatever.â Without naming names, he mentioned that a bad experience with a department store was âthe straw that broke the camelâs backâ and steered him away from wholesale for good. âThey didnât really care about our brand,â he said. âMy thing is, the best way to protect your brand is to be in total control of it. Because other people, they can blow your brand up, but they can also destroy it when theyâre done with it.â Make sure to check out the full story at: www.mannpublications.com/fashionmannuscript/2021/04/01/talent-in-the-raw/ Thanks to @xxsebastian for the great photos!
