An iconic staple of fashion, Denim Jeans is expected to feel the heat of the coming virus-led recession and will grow in the post crisis period to reach a projected global market size of US$87. 3 billion by 2027. In what was seen hitherto as looming recession is now imminent with the world already showing signs of being in a worst of its kind recession. Global GDP is expected to dip into the red at -3% with the US economy shrinking by a shocking -5. 9%. Unemployment rates have hit never-before highs with the US topping the charts with 12. 5% unemployed as a % of total labor force. Social outlook against this background remains grim with households expected witness erosion in wealth. Personal financial outlook, community, economy, job security confidence, purchasing & investment confidence are all tumbling as the human & economic cost of the global pandemic rises. For the fashion industry this brings grim news of falling sales and revenues as consumers hold back on discretionary spending. In an unprecedented turn of events, the world has been cornered with limited available options. Governments worldwide have been forced to choke off the economy via harsh social distancing measures. Players in the apparel industry will need to brace for impact as a dark and stormy economic climate creeps over the world. Per capita consumption of jeans which remains as high as 8 to 10 pairs in countries like the United States, is expected stagnate and even decline during this crisis. Denim jeans is mostly a discretionary spend which will soften as the world readies for a ride downhill.

From the humble workpants of cowboys and miners in the old Wild West, denim over the last century has emerged into a global fashion and the world's best loved clothing. Jeans are one of the most ubiquitous pieces of clothing on this planet with millions of pairs being sold worldwide. Few of the reasons why denim is popular all over the world transcending cultural boundaries is the legendary longevity of denim as a fabric. Developed as a rough clothing to be worn by working men during the early 1600s, denim is today an on-the-go fashion popularized by Levi Strauss & Co in the 18th century. Jeans has a unique style and appearance unparalleled and unmatched by any other type of apparel. Affordable prices, comfort, fabric that becomes softer as it ages, robust stich patterns and use of rivets on rear pockets and near the zipper for greater garment durability, are all factors which have popularized denim jeans.

In the post COVID-19 period, the market's key fundamental growth drivers will re-emerge such as expanding urban population, changing perceptions about executive wear, convergence of business and leisure (Bleisure), flexible tastes of new-age entrepreneurs and the resulting acceptance of jeans as business casual attire for men even in boardrooms, rise of power jeans in high ranking business and political circles, robust outlook for luxury denim business, growing base of women in the workforce, rising environmental stewardship among consumers and the ensuing demand for natural and organic denims. The market will benefit from innovations ranging from distressed, acid washed, stone washed, embroidered, metal studded, high-rise, low-rise, mid-rise, skinny and bell bottomed jeans coupled with developments in material design and style such as digitally printed jeans, vegan fabrics, sophisticated weaves, superior stretch performance and novel fiber blends. Ripped jeans that stormed into the spotlight in the 1980s during the hard rock/heavy metal era in the 1990s and 2000s continues to remain widely popular even today. Westernization of dress and clothing and rising visibility of fast-fashion brands like Zara and H&M will open up markets which traditionally resisted the jeans culture and will bring in new opportunities for growth. Asia-Pacific isa major market led by China which ranks as the world's largest cotton grower and a leading denim weaver. Other factors which were responsible for the region's growth included rising standards of living, increasing disposable incomes, preference for high-end and premium designer labels among the expanding base of affluent middle class population, globalization of fashion trends, changing cultural norms and breakdown of cultural imperialism all which lay the foundation for the acceptance of jeans.

Sofia Vergara Goes High-Low in a D&G Corset Top, Walmart Skinny Jeans + 13-Year-Old Platform Heels - Footwear News

Posted: 28 May 2020 09:27 AM PDT

Sofia Vergara's work-from-home uniform is a major upgrade from the sweatpants and slippers look.

The 47-year-old actress took to IGTV yesterday to show her go-to look as she works remotely. Vergara was clad in a floral Dolce & Gabbana corset top with pink buttons, which she said is a few seasons old. She teamed the top with distressed skinny jeans from her Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara line, which is available exclusively at Walmart. The jeans sell for $27 on the Walmart website and come in numerous colorways.

"I call it my uniform because I always love to wear tops that are like corsets with jeans," she said. "It's comfortable for me. I love it."

On her feet, the "Modern Family" alum sported brown platform heels from Casadei, which boasted an open toe and a slingback silhouette. Vergara said she's had the shoes in her wadrobe for around 13 years. The "America's Got Talent" judge pulled together her look with a large chain necklace in a gold tone and small earrings. If she was to leave her house, Vergara noted, she would add a beige Chanel handbag to complete her ensemble.

"They're one of my favorites of all time, she explained of her prized Casadei heels. "Every summer, I break them out. I take super good care of them."

Indeed, Vergara has been spotted out and about in her Casadei sandals numerous times over the years, pairing them with everything from jeans to dresses.

How Air Jordan won a slam dunk contest wearing 'jeans' - NBCSports.com

Posted: 28 May 2020 11:10 AM PDT

The NBA still has a long list of considerations to parse through before attempting to relaunch its season — so many, in fact, that a final resolution plan may not emerge from a highly-anticipated Board of Governors call reportedly scheduled for Friday.

This should register as a relatively low priority for now, as the league navigates an unprecedented global health and economic crisis, but the question of game presentation is one that will eventually need addressing. Without fans in arenas, silent games are a prospect that would pose unique challenges to both athletes and broadcasters — even setting aside the financial ramifications of losing gate proceeds (which, according to a recent estimate, account for 40% of the league's revenue) through the end of this season. 

"I think it would take a little bit of competitiveness out, because obviously I think the fans and atmosphere make a big thing about the game," Zach LaVine said of the possibility of empty-arena games back on March 7.

"What is the word 'sport' without 'fan'?" LeBron James said on an episode of the Road Trippin' podcast in March. "There's no excitement. There's no crying. There's no joy. There's no back-and-forth… That's what also brings out the competitive side of the players to know that you're going on the road in a hostile environment…"

Those grievances shouldn't be quickly dismissed by the NBA or observers. A more engaged player population makes for a better product, and in a time of great financial strife for the league, setting a compelling scene (see: the litany of inventive playoff formats being floated) and attracting as many eyeballs as possible will be all-important.

From the broadcast side, the absence of a sonic wall separating those at home from those on the court also has the potential to soil an already precarious endeavor. For some, listening in to on-court verbal sparring could add a layer of entertainment. Sports fans, after all, are voyeuristic creatures — look to the atomic interest in "The Last Dance," mic'd up videos and miscellaneous behind-the-scenes content as evidence of that. But to players, coaches, league officials, broadcast partners and many others, there's potential for downside. The unfiltered sounds of NBA action aren't exactly tailored to family viewing.

"I don't know who I'd be more worried for, the players or referees at this point," NBA referee Scott Foster said on NBA TV (via Tim Reynolds) when asked what challenges officiating without fans could pose. "I know I don't want everything we normally say to each other going out. 

"I think we're going to need to really talk about and analyze what is OK for the public to hear and how we're going to go about our business."

For potential solutions to the latter, the NBA could turn to leagues that have already resumed play. FOX, for example, has experimented with piping artificial crowd noise into its broadcasts of the recently-returned Bundesliga, to mixed reaction. 

At a glance, it works! There are blind spots, of course. Even with a controller toggling crowd reactions to coincide with the tenor of the match (i.e. a groundswell of sound upon a scored goal), glitches in timing could come off disingenuous, as could robotic roars for a visiting team. Pans of the stands still reveal droves of empty seats. But it restores some semblance of normalcy for those watching while mitigating against rogue vulgarities leaking into television feeds.

What it doesn't solve is the athlete gripe. As Raphael Honigstein of The Athletic reported on Twitter, Bundesliga has not attempted funnelling that artificial noise into actual stadiums. Some teams have experimented with cardboard fans in seats in an attempt to cultivate a less apocalyptic game-night atmosphere and recoup some funds (for one match, Borussia Mönchengladbach reportedly charged 19 euro for fans to have a cutout of themselves attendance). But it feels unlikely this would satiate James' concerns.

 

As with all matters surrounding a return bid, the NBA will need to get creative in appeasing all parties. Perhaps that means flying blind with in-arena sound experimentation. But as Sam Quinn of CBS Sports recently noted, the acoustic capacity of Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex's courts (which contain approximately 20,000 seats) are likely ill-equipped to handle even simulated noise equivalent to an NBA arena.

Still, don't expect the league to settle for totally silent games on television, of which the novelty could prove fleeting and the profanity jarring. Where they ultimately turn remains to be seen, as does both the format and safety of a hypothetical resumption.
