Kiwi streetwear label Federation is streetsmart at exporting these days.
Five years ago when the company started sending its clothes to the US it offered credit to all its retail customers and learned the hard way. In some cases they waited up to a year to be paid, chief executive Nick Clegg says, “and in a few instances not at all”.

Christian Audigier has confirmed plans to showcase Ed Hardy and related lifestyle brands at MAGIC Marketplace this August.
The news comes as a surprise after Audigier’s departure from Project a little over a year ago and the launch of Audigier’s own Las Vegas showcase called “When I Move You Move.”
“We had great success with ‘When I Move You Move’, but once I saw what MAGIC was doing with the debut of Premium at MAGIC, I knew we could build something really special together,” said Audigier. “It’s a great situation for everyone, …
