MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary 

The global fashion and apparel industry is valued north of $3 trillion, making up two percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) according to FashionUnited.com. Spending in the space continues to uptick as companies deploy smart technologies like Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to observe and learn consumer spending habits. Additionally, the fashion space is dominated by trends and one of the hottest topics in 2018 has been active wear, as well as 'athleisure', a hybrid of formal and athletic apparel. In the last several years, the global market of Online Lingerie has also developed rapidly, with an average growth rate of 12.48%. In 2017, global revenue of Online Lingerie hit nearly $33.4 Billion USD. Active companies in the markets this week include Naked Brand Group Limited (NASDAQ:NAKD). New York & Company, Inc.

The Heidi Klum Intimates Solutions line features an array of over 20 essential wardrobe and red-carpet-ready products from dressing tape and converters to strapless, backless stick on silicone bras. The brand sets a new standard in the category by fusing the fashion and cosmetics industries with a fresh and modern approach to brand positioning and packaging. The line is carried in the cosmetics department, which typically see the highest foot traffic of any department within a CVS Health location and represents the largest single retail footprint of any Naked Brand Group Limited licensed or wholly-owned brand. According to a 2018 report by Statista, retail sales value of the women's accessories market in the U.S. totaled $31.9 billion in 2017.

Heidi Klum's credentials as host and executive producer of Project Runway and Germany's Next Top Model, in addition to an illustrious career as a supermodel and red carpet regular, provides her with unrivaled experience to enter the Solutions category.

"We are pleased to have launched a long-term strategic partnership with CVS Health, which has placed our high-margin Heidi Klum Intimates Solutions line in over 4,000 retail locations across the United States," stated Justin Davis-Rice, Chief Executive Officer of Naked Brand Group Limited. "This move greatly diversifies not only our distribution base, but our product offering as well, providing the Heidi Klum Intimates line representation outside of lingerie, but in a complimentary category. In the first year, we expect significant retail sales from this relationship with a gross margin profile much higher than our traditional product lines. We look forward to further developing our commercial relationship with CVS Health to include other brands and products across our diversified portfolio," concluded Mr. Davis-Rice.
