Do you ever wonder how style trends make it from the runway to true life?

Prior to garments arrive on store shelves, every single short article need to go by way of hundreds of measures and travel thousands of miles. This calls for effectively-coordinated logistics for a rapidly-paced market that's currently on to the subsequent trend.

"Shipping is the thread that ties our enterprise together," says designer Tomer Gendler. His eponymous menswear label has a loyal following including a lot of stylists and their clients such as Hollywood A-listers Jamie Foxx and Adrien Brody.

Since Tomer began his organization four years ago, he has relied on UPS to aid him transport styles, fabric and clothes about the world. "When we're creating a collection, we ship virtually daily, and every single shipment is critical to getting the job completed."

Behind the Seams

Before Tomer makes his initial sketch, he searches out special fabrics and trims, such as cashmere blends from Italy, high-tech fabrics from Switzerland and buttons from China. Right after producing his designs, he orders and ships adequate thread, fabric and trim to produce samples, which he shows to style buyers in New York. These often are shipped back and forth many times from companies in Italy, New York City or China till the look is perfected. Tomer operates with the purchasers to choose what pieces will be sold in retailers.

Then, Tomer and his employees figure out how much fabric is needed to fulfill orders. The production approach moves on to a grading firm, which tailors patterns to make the clothes line in several sizes. UPS ships the patterns, fabric and trim to New York and Italy, where tailors make the garments.

But it will take more than shipping to make confident the clothes arrive on time. UPS's customs brokers take care of complicated textile tariffs so that all of Tomer's pieces clear inspections seamlessly.

Following the garments are made, they are shipped to Tomer's New York showroom for painstaking top quality inspections. Lastly, the clothing is shipped to retailers across the nation and about the world.

If Tomer's collection arrives even a single day late, retailers have the right to cancel the order, leaving him with thousands of dollars' worth of garments that cannot be sold. On the other hand, delivering on time in the end wins far more business. "Being on time earns trust," he says. "It says you are a strong business companion."

Tomer makes confident he's on time by way of package tracking capabilities on UPS.com, so each he and his buyers keep in the know. By obtaining a shipping partner take care of these actions, Tomer is totally free to forget about the logistics and concentrate on designing and operating his company.

Tomer's menswear collection is available in high-end retailers, including Takashimaya in New York and Tokyo. - NU needs
