*buyers have a limted budget, much more for new brands..
*orders are placed to all sizes but forecasting is also used.
*they choose looks in co-ordination with their clientelle, an order
might make or rake a buyer.
*deadlines for delivery are varying depending on stores, most love early deliveries
*buying occurs well before the shows, and are generated through showrooms.
e.g. for next season, orders will start getting placed as soon as mid July (shows start in September )
*stores work on an average 200%+ close to 300% on wholesale prices
