I need some help and suggestions - - - - ok, please - I NEED YOUR HELP…!!! If you follow my rambling blogs - or - follow me on Twitter ((yep, just started trying to do that) Fashion_Bob ) you know that I travel a little bit. Honestly, I travel less today (in the softwa...http://www.just-style.com/lawson/bob_mckee_blog-help-_id34Fri, 28 Jan 2011 22:38:31 GMT  I don't imagine that it's easy to be a designer of jeans. As you may know - for a few years (a couple decades ago) I worked for the company that made Billy the Kid and Bill Blass Jeans in El Paso, Texas. In those days - the tighter the jeans were - the better the public liked them. Most were 'boot cut' and most were '5 pocket' zip (or butto...http://www.just-style.com/lawson/bob_mckee_blog-does-my-butt-look-big-_id33Tue, 25 Jan 2011 14:39:51 GMTBuyer / Supplier communication is at the crux of today's push for supply chain collaboration. Without this communication you're going to spend all your time just guessing about what's going on - and what's going to happen next. Realistically - you have to make it easy - as most marriage counselors will tell you - the easier it is to communicate - ...http://www.just-style.com/lawson/bob_mckee_blog-ipads-portals_id32Tue, 18 Jan 2011 21:17:12 GMTIn the Western world, Fashion Retail has been suffering since September / October 2008. And no matter what you or I may think should happen - if Fashion Retail suffers - so do all the members of the supply chain. (we'll talk about what's going on in Asia at another time - since we see a completely different path for both growth and evolution in the...http://www.just-style.com/lawson/bob_mckee_blog-multichannel-is-more-than-just-a-website_id31Fri, 14 Jan 2011 09:58:11 GMTOver the course of the last several months I have attended numerous seminars and events supposedly centered on the topic of sustainability. To be perfectly honest the only thing I was able to take away from these events was the fact that nobody really knows how to define sustainability in this industry. Conversations would start out discussing envi...http://www.just-style.com/lawson/bob_mckee_blog-sustainability_id30Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:48:06 GMTDon't you just hate it when 'the media' tells us that "The World will never be the same... as a result of blah, blah, blah .. " after any event that occurs to us? Certainly there have been some significant events that we can point to in the past few decades where you can say that's true. But, seriously - it's a phrase that's used all too often - an...http://www.just-style.com/lawson/bob_mckee_blog-lawson-for-fashion-only-the-begining_id29Thu, 18 Feb 2010 04:11:33 GMTGray, gray, gray - this time of year in this part of the U.S. is just plain depressing. I was driving to work this morning - as you may know - I live in Chicago. I'm sure you can guess what it's like in Chicago at this time of year. Gray … everything is gray - gray and depressing - - Have I painted a clear enough picture? Is it gray?

The resources are no longer available. Future generations will probably wonder why there is any discussion of Sourcing vs. Manufacturing for apparel … or will they? I'm a pretty simple guy … I like simple definitions to things. Every Than...http://www.just-style.com/lawson/bob_mckee_blog-sourcing-today-tomorrow-next-week-tuesday-_id27Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:19:53 GMT
