1.2 Concept & Business Description

According to a survey that the University of Exeter conducted when they surveyed more than three thousand people to find out about the shop-ping behavior between men and women and how and why they are very different they found that women, in general, enjoy the process of shopping a lot. They are willing to linger between stores and take a lot of time to try different things. On the contrary, men don’t like to spend that much time shopping.(1) They are like hunters - they know what they need and will strategically get what they want as soon as they can. Also, according to Bain & Co. – a global manage-ment and consulting company, Chinese men spent 1.1 billion USD on luxury products which is far more than women who spent only 439 million us dollars in 2010 and the figure is still rising. (According to Bain, Chinese people spent 2.55 billion USD on luxury product in 2012.)(2) Furthermore, the stores that sell high-end unique menswear brands are hard to find in Taiwan. They are usually hidden in a small alley and the selection is very limited. The conclusion is that the high-end menswear market is something that Tai-wan market is not well developed and that the online component is relatively untouched. This is the inspi-ration behind MAGNIFIQUE!

MAGNIFIQUE is an online menswear boutique that imports high-end American and European brands. MAGNIFIQUE is a French word for “magnificent” and it means sublime and superlative. We go to fash-ion week twice a year to research and find to carry unique brands.

The clothing style we select is a mix of trendy, androgynous, gothic, and Japanese. We are dedicated to providing the latest trends and styles of clothing to our customer. Our product is suitable for daywear or special occasions.

2.0 Industry Overview 2.1 Luxury & Menswear Market

The luxury market grew 6.5 percent at constant exchange and 2.2 percent at current ex-change to 217 billion euros, or $288.2 billion at average exchange according to the study from Worldwide Luxury Market Monitor 2014 presented by Bain & Co.. A partner in Bain & Co. said that she expected growth at 4 and 6 percent over the next few years, and at constant exchange Asia Pacific (excluding Mainland China including Taiwan) is expected to grow between 3 and 5 percent.(3) In 2013, with the exception of tailored clothing in Mainland China, menswear out-performed womenswear.(4) In the United States in 2013, menswear grew at a faster pace than women’s apparel last year, increasing its take at retail 5.2 percent to $60.8 billion from $57.8 billion. Specialty stores remained the largest channel for menswear activity, with revenues up 2 percent to $15.8 billion. Menswear purchases on websites increased 19 percent over those in 2012, accounting for 14 percent of the men’s market, or about $8.3 billion. (5)

The head of fashion buying and merchandising at Liberty London said that their store’s men’s business has been incredibly stable and consistent for some years now. He also said that men are more experimental these days and their customers are still responding to color and prints very well. The overall aesthetic is more relaxed with casual trousers selling well, shirt sales hugely up but blazer sales down, which proves that men are taking more casual approach to dressing. (5)

2.2 Luxury Market in Taiwan

In recently years, lots of international brands open their store in Taiwan like Giuseppe Zanotti Design, Christian Loubutine, Gap, Massimo Dutti, Desigual, Su-per Dry. In addition, luxury brands like Dior, Prada, Burb-erry, Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton have done expansion providing their full range of products through many Taiwanese stores, and building spacious flagship store in Taiwan. All indicates that Taiwan has the buying power that attracts international brand’s attention. According to the report done by euromonitor international, luxury goods market is expected to remain highly robust due to a strengthening economy, a greater taste for luxury products, and a culture of status. Another strong fac-tor that fuel the growth of luxury market is the demand from younger consumer is rising. The younger consum-ers are gaining interest in luxury goods owing to media of brands and celebrity activities, as well as peer pres-sure and society’s expectations on status. Other factors supporting this trend included the popularity of sec-ond-hand luxury accessories and an increase in afford-able luxury brands and products, as well as the extension of product ranges to cater to the younger consumer.(6)

Christian L’enfant Roi suggests a novel sartorial take on urban dressing. Through his

expressive exploration of lightness fused with a rational appraisal of visual dimensions, confi-dent pieces are constructed. The garments all

seek a pensive moment of interaction with their surroundings whilst maintaining a wearable

yet forward-thinking approach. Thus creating a utilitarian bespoke wardrobe. Christian L’en-

fant Roi triggers one to reinvent and reconsider their wardrobes allegorically. The brands rep-resentation of dimensions and the exploration

of techniques on the perspective of volume and shapes is the foundation of the self-inquisitive

collections.(9)

dernity, Hourani creates a lifestyle that has rid itself of any conventional restrictions: No gen-der, no season, no rules, epitomizing the values of freedom and unisex elegance. Since his first show during Paris Haute Couture week in July

9.10 Growth Plan

MAGNIFIQUE is estimated to grow 5% in the second year and 10% percent for the third year. MAGNIFIQUE will only operate in Taiwan for now. If MAGNIFIQUE is doing well as we estimated, we will plan to start shipping to other Asia countries where overseas Chinese people exist like China, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
