All drirelease attributes are inherent to our yarns, meaning they will not wear or wash out. For more information, visit http://www.drirelease.com.

Debenhams Reveals Men are Buying Shapewear as New Year's Resolutions Fail

Debenhams has announced that as many diets and gym plans fall by the wayside, body conscious British men are snapping up shapewear in a bid to win the battle of the bulge, according to recent research.

In recent weeks, sales of men's control pants and mens t-shirts???? (http://www.debenhams.com/men/tops-polos ) have soared at Debenhams, with purchases of sculpting t-shirts up 317 per cent, sales of bum lifting pants up 238 per cent and elasticated waistbands going up by 340 per cent at Debenhams, post-party season.

Of the 1,000 men surveyed*, 64 per cent were worried about the 7 pounds of weight they piled on over Christmas, with moobs (man boobs), love handles and flabby bums causing the most concern.

Dominique Rock, spokesperson for Debenhams said, "As the cost and effort of the gym kicks in, instantaneous figure fixers are proving immensely popular with men as a cheap fix alternative.

"Shaping t-shirts and pants also require a lot less willpower than a carefully controlled diet, something that women have long been wise to."

For the first time, research showed that men and women are almost equally committed to improving their shape in the New Year with 48 per cent of men starting a new fitness and/or dietary routine in January, compared with 55 per cent of women.

Rock added, "Responding to customer demand, Debenhams has developed products designed to pull in tummies, lift bottoms and smooth love handles specifically for men. When you can lose pounds in seconds, it's no surprise they are selling so well.

"Gone are the days when the only way to fight the flab was confined to the gym. Canny blokes now have access to the tricks of the trade that women have been using for years."

About Debenhams:
Debenhams is a leading department stores group with a strong presence in key product categories including women's wear, shapewear for women (http://www.debenhams.com/lingerie ) including flexees (http://www.debenhams.com/lingerie/flexees-by-maidenform ) and spanx, mens clothing (http://www.debenhams.com/men ), children's wear, home and health and beauty.

Global Market for Knit Underwear and Nightwear to Reach US$70.85 Billion by 2015, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

The intimate apparel market is driven mainly by style, and fashion with equal importance accorded to comfort, and novelty. The industry is marked by new fabric developments, and innovations in prettier, and more comfortable garment designs. The growing trend towards innerwear worn as outerwear has been richly beneficial to the lingerie market. The introduction of camisoles in trendy colors and T-shirts with built-in bras bear testimony to these trends. The market nevertheless is confronted with a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. For instance, fierce competition has resulted in falling prices and a threatening shift of production to low-cost countries. In developed countries, aging population is pushing down growth opportunities. On the other hand, developing regions, hold immense potential for future growth, given their favorable demographics, rising standards of living, growing affluence and widespread adoption of Western lifestyles. Manufacturers are therefore fast expanding their business operations into South America, Central Europe and Asia. The lingerie market is in a state of transition, as both global brands and private-labels are re-assessing their respective market positions. Consumers in this segment generally tend to purchase more than necessary. Impulse purchases are rampant, and purchase decisions are typically based on feel-good factors, instincts, style and fitting rather than sheer necessity.

Ever changing consumer lifestyles, latest trends in fashion and style and innovations in fabric usage are the major factors driving the market for knit underwear and nightwear. Product markets expected to score the maximum gains in the upcoming years include seamless intimates such as seamless bras and panties, given consumer's desire for seamless and imperceptible undergarments. Demand for plus-size inner wear is rapidly expanding in Western markets. Stores now offer suitable lingerie to customers who earlier depended on specialists for customized innerwear clothing.

Akin to several other industries, the global economic crisis affected the world market for knit underwear and nightwear during the years 2008 and 2009. Mature, developed market of North America, Europe and Japan bore the maximum brunt of the economic instability, with sales slipping during the period. In contrast, the developing economies brushed past with marginal losses in sales. Surprisingly, the children's wear market witnessed the largest erosion in 2009 followed by the men's wear, with the market largely remaining afloat due to optimistic outlook in women's wear clothing. Nevertheless on the whole, the niche underwear and sleepwear market was more resilient to the economic crisis than the larger clothing industry and rebounded back on growth track by the year 2010, although at a slow rate of growth. Some of the notable changes the industry witnessed during the recessionary years included the influx of several retailers rendering the mark Tips: Find Street Fashion Online(may be you can find what you want on the oasap.com) et more fragmented; market polarization of the luxury segment and increased popularity of the concepts 'exact fit' and value-for-money. The economic crisis considerably narrowed down the gap between the upper and lower end of the market as style differentiation almost vanished.

Europe dominates as the single largest regional market for knit underwear and nightwear, as stated by the new research report on Knit Underwear and Nightwear. The US and Asia-Pacific are the other two significant markets, trailing at a distance behind Europe. The three markets capturing a considerable share of the global market, literally set the rules and market direction. The Asia-Pacific market remained buoyant even during the economic recession, and supported by rapid growth from markets of China, India, Korea, Indonesia and Taiwan among others, is projected to register the overall fastest CAGR through 2015. By product segment, the global women's knit underwear and nightwear market is considered the most vibrant and dynamic, carrying the growth ahead even when sales in other segments plummeted. In the near term too, the segment is forecast to sail ahead at the fastest compounded annual rate through 2015.

The global Knit Underwear and Nightwear market is highly competitive and fragmented, with no single dominant player in the market for any national or worldwide brand. The market is characterized by the presence of numerous large and medium players vying fiercely for a share of the pie. Private label players also enjoy considerable clout in the market. Key participants profiled in the report include Benetton Group S.p.A, Bella Di Notte S.L, Berkshire Hathaway, Fruit of the Loom Inc., Cia Hering, Calvin Klein Inc., Delta Galil Industries Ltd, Donna Karan International Inc, Gunze Ltd, Jockey International Inc., Joe Boxer, Maidenform Brands Inc, The Bali Company, Triumph International, Tefron Ltd, Warnaco Group Inc, Wacoal Holdings Corp, and Wacoal America Inc, among others.

The research report titled "Knit Underwear and Nightwear: A Global Strategic Business Report" announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of current market trends, product profile, overview of apparel industry, intimate apparel dynamics, product innovations, recent industry activity and profiles of market players worldwide.

Royal Wedding Expert Announces Release of Kate and William Bride and Groom Dolls

Stephen Church, managing director of Royal Wedding collectibles retailer Church's China, reports that Arklu, Ltd., makers of the highly sought after Princess Catherine Engagement Doll, will also be releasing Will and Kate dolls in their official wedding clothes.

Church says, "To my mind, this pair will have an even greater appeal than the Princess Catherine Doll. Arklu is known for attention to detail, so I'm sure the wedding costumes will be exquisite real life replicas of what Kate and William actually wear on the big day."

Church has already pre-ordered 500 of the 10,000-piece limited edition collectible dolls, which will be available in early summer. Customers can pre-order the pair by contacting The U.K. Gift Company, the online sales division of Church's China, at reservations@theukgiftcompany.com. Pricing has yet to be announced.

Meanwhile, Church's China and The U.K. Gift Company have been overwhelmed by customer response to the limited edition Princess Catherine Engagement Doll that became available just last week. Church says he has sold out of all but 35 of the dolls. Only 10,000 of the Limited Edition Princess Catherine Engagement Dolls have been made.

Church adds, "The orders just keep coming in. This is a really popular item, particularly in America. One U.S.-based customer ordered six of the dolls!"

Church attributes the popularity of the doll to Kate Middleton's emerging role as a world fashion icon. Appropriately, the doll itself is adorned with the work of seven of Britain's hottest fashion designers.

The Princess Catherine Engagement Doll stands approximately 12 inches in height and retails for $48.96 at http://www.theukgiftcompany.com, the online sales division of Church's China.

She is decked out in designer fashions from her headpiece down to her shoes. Her royal blue silk Jersey dress, resembling the now-famous frock Kate wore when announcing her engagement to Prince William, was created by made-to-order cocktail dress designer Pussy Willow. She carries a representation of the Aspinal of London-made Eaton Clutch bag owned by Kate Middleton.

Her cubic zirconia-encircled amethyst ring is a replica of the life-sized "Io" ring created by internationally-recognized jewelry designer Babette Wasserman. Beatrix Ong, one of London's most acclaimed young shoe designers, created the doll's shoes. The doll's distinctive fascinator-style hat is the concept of milliner to the stars Katherine Elizabeth.

However, the appeal of this collector's item goes beyond high fashion. Church adds, "What our customers really apprec women's jackets online iate about this particular piece of Royal Wedding memorabilia is that part of the proceeds will benefit Help for Heroes, an organization that is serving a very critical purpose given the current level of conflict in the Middle East."

Approximately $1.70 from every sale will be donated to Help for Heroes, a British charity launched in 2007 to aid wounded servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan, Iraq and other areas of the world where war exists. Prince William is one of the charity's supporters.

Established in 1858, Church's China sells a wide range of china and other collectibles. Specializing in royal commemorative memorabilia, the company has locations in Northampton and Market Harborough, England as well as an online division, The U.K. Gift Company. The UK Gift Company was recently nominated as one of five finalists in the "Best Online Retailer" category of the 2011 Great Awards, which celebrate the best in gift retailing in the U.K.
