Zara Fever Grips Indian Retailers

panish retail brand's ability to pull shoppers makes it most-preferred neighbour in malls 


World's largest clothing retailer Inditex entered India with its flagship brand Zara on a Friday in May last year and that day the South Delhi outlet recorded the largest single-day sale by an international retailer in the country.

Less than a year later, Zara fever has gripped several retailers who are chasing shop space next to the Spanish brands outlets to leverage on its ability to pull shoppers in herds.

"Zara has nailed it," Natasha Chopra, who heads personal shopping services at Select Citywalk mall in South Delhi where Zara opened its first shop, said. "It's a hot favourite among shoppers because it offers trendy styles between 1,500-2,300."

Zara's ability to chase fashion trends around the world, move a design from a drawing book to shop floor in two weeks and launch new lines sometimes twice a week has helped it ensure steady flow of consumers who now embrace global trends like never before.

It's fast. It's fashionable. And it has won the attention of several apparel brands; both Indian and multinational, that now launch more collections in a year and have stylized their shops.

"Zara has been selling very well over the past ten months in India," said the head of a rival international brand. "Its success has proven that there is definitely a market for fast fashion, especially in western women's wear," the person added, requesting anonymity.

CHASING ZARA

The day Inditex's Indian joint venture with Tata Group's retail arm Trent opened the first Zara outlet; it sold apparel worth a record 90 lakh, according to industry estimates. The 18,000 sq ft shop at Select Citywalk sells 5-6-crore clothes a month. The average sales at Mumbai's Palladium Mall outlet is similar, while it's nearly 4 crore a month at DLF Promenade shop in New Delhi, industry insiders said.

Inditex refused to confirm this. "Please let us leave this in complete confidentialityLet us say that we are really honored by the good reception that our customers are given us in India," its global spokesperson said.

But other brands' rush to become its neighbour and mall developers' keenness to host it reveals Zara's crowd-pulling power. In January, retail planning consultancy Asipac Projects received requests from some international apparel brands, jewellery major and a cosmetics chain have sought shop space bang opposite Zara outlet at Hyderabad's City Capital mall, which will be operational by 2013 end, an official at retail planning consultancy Asipac Projects says.
At Select City Walk, two store executives with international brands operating near Zara said customer visits in their stores have increased nearly 20% since Zara became their neighbour.
DLF Promenade in South Delhi, where Zara opened its second store in June, settled for a revenue share of 7% of sales, compared to 8-20% that developers usually charge, to attract the Spanish retailer. The mall developer also deleted the minimum sales guarantee clause for Zara and did the interiors and air conditioning of the store that usually retailers do.
Clearly, many brands would rather leverage Zara's visibility than fight it.

ZARA'S SECRET

Zara's early success in India reflects its impressive global growth. Amancio Ortega Gaona founded Zara in 1963 as a maker of ladies' lingerie in the Galician town of La Coruna with just 5,000 pesetas, or $83. Today, the 75-year-old Ortega is the richest man in Spain and owner of the world's largest apparel retailer ahead of GAP.

Zara owes its success to its control in every part of the business from design to distribution. It controls fabric supply, design, cutting and finishing that goes to company-owned stores. It even owns a large part of production.

It has 200 designers who chase fashion trends and refreshing designs all the time. And it takes just 2-3 weeks for a new fashion idea to reach store racks, while most apparel brands typically take six months to get new merchandise to the store.

From high-waist trousers for women's corporate wear and casual suits at price points that count to new trends such as animal magnetism-fashion lingo for animal motifs on clothing-and flesh-coloured apparel, Zara has a huge product range that changes almost every week.

If a new style is not a hit within a week, it goes off shelves. Even popular styles don't stay long. Zara makes small quantities of each style to retain a sense of exclusivity.
Thanks to its success, the 12.53-billion Euro Inditex will launch Zara's urbane, more premium counterpart Massimo Dutti in the country in less than a year.

Inditex and Trent have earmarked 4-5 store locations for Massimo Dutti, which straddles men's, women's and children's apparel and accessories, across Mumbai and New Delhi, retail industry executives said.

CHALLNGES AHEAD

But the road ahead is not easy for Zara. The competition is strong. Western fashion market has been growing steadily in the country where more people now travel abroad and are exposed to global trends due to rising incomes and aspirations, improving lifestyles and infrastructure, and Indias rise as an economic power.

More than 20 international brands have been entering the country every year since 2005, according to Third Eyesight, a consumer goods and retail planning consultancy.
Zara effect of not, many fashion retailers focus more on design novelty, widening product lines and premiumising stores.

"Retailers here have been evolving very rapidly, learning as they grow and growing as they learn; from each other and from the rest of the world," mall management firm Star Centres MD Pranay Sinha said.

How to Make Sampaguita Perfume

The association of humans with perfumes is very long. In fact, it is one of the innate tendencies of humans to enhance their body odor with fragrances. It is said that they started by using natural materials, like flowers, leaves and roots. You might have heard about the Bible story that depicts the three wise men who visited baby Jesus with offerings like myrrh and frankincense. These materials are nothing but fragrant resins obtained from two different trees. These resins are used as incenses. 

The origin of perfumes has been traced back to the incenses prepared by the ancient Egyptians. The term perfume is derived from the Latin word,per fumus, which means through smoke (referring to the incense smoke). Today, we have thousands of perfume varieties that are used by people across the globe. Did you know that perfumes can be made at home? Apart from being less expensive, homemade perfumes do not expose you to chemicals that are found in most of the store bought types. How about making a perfume from flowers? This article will provide you with some information on how to make sampaguita perfume.

What is Sampaguita?
Most of us are familiar with jasmine plants that are found in many different varieties. There are around 200 species of jasmine and Jasminum sambac is one among them. Otherwise known as Arabian jasmine, this plant is native to certain parts of Asia, like India, Philippines, Thailand, etc. In fact, jasmine is the national flower of Philippines, where it is called sampaguita. It is also one of the three national flowers of Indonesia. 

Jasminum sambac or sampaguita is a plant that produces highly fragrant flowers that are used for making garlands and crowns. They are also used as religious offerings and for preparing certain folk medicines. The regular sampaguita plant produces strongly scented flowers with white petals that are around 5 to 9 in numbers. There are 3 to 4 popular varieties that vary in the shape of the petals and the number of layers in which the petals are arranged. With their strong scent, sampaguita flowers are widely used for making perfumes. Let us take a look at how to make sampaguita perfume at home.

Making Sampaguita Perfume
In order to make perfume from sampaguita flowers, the most important ingredient is the flower itself. If you have a flowering sampaguita plant in your home, then well and good. Otherwise, contact a florist who sells this flower. Once you get the flowers, you can start with the procedure of making sampaguita perfume. You may use other flowers along with sampaguita for making this perfume. As per the following recipe, you need a combination of sampaguita and ylang-ylang flowers. The method of preparation is as follows -

Procedure #1: Start with boiling the flowers in distilled water. If you have a cup of flowers, use two cups of distilled water. As the water boils thoroughly, lower the heat and let it reduce to half. Strain the water and keep it aside. Now, take a sterilized bottle, into which you have to add unscented vodka and the scented water. For every three tablespoons of scented water, you have to add five tablespoons of vodka. If you find the perfume to be too mild, you may add two to three drops of essential oils (preferably floral ones) too. You may start using this perfume within two to three days. 

The above said is a simple method of preparing sampaguita perfume with fresh flowers. Some people opt for another easy method, which is as follows -

Procedure #2: Take a sterilized bottle and place a cheesecloth over its rim. Place the sampaguita flowers on the cheesecloth and pour distilled water over it, till the flowers are immersed in water (in the jar). The edges of the cheesecloth must be hanging outside, over the edges of the bottle. Now, cover the bottle tightly with the lid and leave it aside. After a few days, remove the cheesecloth with flowers (make sure to squeeze the cheesecloth and flowers to extract the scented water in them). Strain and filter the scented water, before filling it in a sterilized bottle. Your sampaguita perfume is ready. 

So, as you have seen above, making sampaguita perfume at home is not at all difficult. And, it's a good idea to try out the above explained methods for a change because homemade perfumes have that personal touch, which makes it all the more special. Smell good, feel good!

Guardian Angel Tattoos for Men

We all need something to believe in, when hope withers and despair seems to be creeping over our conscience. In times of crisis, when we begin to lose faith in ourselves we let go off our ego and seek help from God. We demand that we may be protected and saved, and that we be pardoned for the sins we have committed in this life. Humans have believed in the divine presence of guardian angels since before antiquity and there have been instances where pious Christians have made claims of having interacted with their individual guardian being. If that be the case, it would suffice to say that the angels come to those who truly seek them, and protect all those who need them. For those who haven't seen one but ardently believe in their existence, a simple gesture of faith can be to get inked with an angel tattoo. This article will discuss some suitable ideas for guardian angel tattoos for men.

Guardian Angel Tattoo Ideas

Brother in Arms
There have been many instances where soldiers have experienced the divine embrace of angels during war, these angels have helped them live and survive through impossible scenarios. To be able to live through bullet wounds which would have killed any other ordinary man, is proof enough that the hand of God was placed upon their shoulder, protecting them and steering them away from death. Many members of the forces, have tattoos of angels with the wings flared out as they descend onto earth, while others have tattoos depicting a guardian angel standing behind a soldier as he struggles to get back on his feet. There are also some exceptionally detailed and big guardian angel tattoos for guys which show epic wars being fought by the righteous while a group of angels stand behind wielding arms supporting the cause of those courageous men. 

The Lone Angel
Many men like getting the tattoo of a male angel spreading its hands with its wings spread open. This tattoo is always placed right under the neck in the middle of the spine. The angels head is always bowed. This tattoo design is very akin to the one worn by David Beckham. 

The Righteous One 
This tattoo design is among the popular ones, which depicts an arch angel standing victorious over an evil man, while the angel extends his sword towards the fallen soul. This tattoo signifies the victory of the righteous against evil. 

Children of Heaven
Some rare guardian angel tattoos depict a female angel looking after a child or two children who are clinging to her garment for protection while she guides them to safety. Men who get this tattoo done, do it in order to make a silent prayer that their children be safe from all harm and danger.

Wings on My Hands
There are men who like getting tattoos of wings on their forearms, which look like a pair of angel wings when both the forearms are brought together. Some get these wings tattooed on their entire back, which look like actual wings sprouting out of the back. There are many who get tattoos of the crucifix with angel wings extending from its sides. 

There are several more guardian angel tattoos for men which are popular. Some are not elaborate and are in fact very simple, with a simple cross added with angel wings and dates which represent the birth and death of someone special in their lives. While there are many tattoos which have been made with intricate depth and detailing. These tattoos are usually big and cover the entire back or the chest. Whichever may be the case guardian angel tattoos are very much in demand and are often requested for by both men and women.

Salon Spray Tan Vs Home Spray Tan


Spray tan is the new trend to get beautifully tanned skin - skin that would be everybody's envy. Sunless tanning came into the picture when the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays of the sun were discovered and people started fearing overexposure to it. For those who still wanted a tanned complexion had to find alternatives that were safe - and sunless tanners were that option.

A spray tan can be obtained either from a salon or from the comforts of your home. Getting the tanning done from a salon has a big advantage.

It ensures an even tan that is perfect in every way. In a salon, spray tanning is done either by placing the customer in a tanning booth or by a well-trained technician. Either way the tanning is done perfectly. In the booth, there are nozzles that spray the lotion on to the body from the front as well as the back coating it evenly. Generally the customer is required to wear something to protect the eyes. The tanning lotion used is according to the preference of the customer with regard to the tone of the tan. A technician uses a spraying can or nozzle to spray the body evenly with the product. Many people cannot to go to the salon to get the tan. They then choose the next best thing, self-tanning.

For self-tanning what a person has to do is to pick up a good product first. It is better to get one from a reputed company that uses safe ingredients. Once it is picked up, read instructions well. Some tanning products let the customer take a shower within a few hours, whereas others need the customer to wear it overnight. Before applying all over the body applies the product on a small patch of skin and waits for 24 hours to see if there are any side effects or allergies. If not, the product can be applied all over the skin.

Make sure every part of the skin is coated including the back of the hand. Also be extremely careful while applying on the face as contact with the eyes would cause damage. If a friend or relative can help spray on the product, it is even better. This would ensure a more even and safer tanning process.

Other than the cost, the main difference between the salon spray tan and the home spray tan is that the salon tan is more professionally done. It gives the skin a glow and appearance that a home tan may not be able to achieve. Generally, a spray tan obtained either from a salon or by oneself lasts for ten to twenty days. After a few days itself the color starts to fade and take on a lighter shade. If products like moisturizers and body washes that are specially meant to be used on sunless tanned skin are used, the tan would last a little longer.

Spray tan is the new vogue in skin fashion and it is definitely there to stay for a while.
