Today in my opinion retail is facing many challenges..
Not only is retail as a whole going down because of the economy money wise, But more people just do not want to shop anymore due to low incomes and higher raised prices for clothes. Therefore making it harder for new designers to start lines and be productive. Another challenge of today's apparel retail, in my opinion is outsourcing. With gas being so low and our economy so low, alot of people do not want to have to outsource they are trying to keep our money in America and also do not want to pay for all the legal charges and gas to transport.
