During 2004, the textile sector grew 75 percent, the highest growth recorded for any industry sector in the Argentine economy that year. Positive activity continued through 2005 & 2006 due to consumption booms, driven by increased general purchasing power and rapidly growing inflows of tourists buying Argentine textile and apparel products.
The total Argentinean textile market is estimated to be worth US$ 12 Billion. The clothing industry of Argentina is expected to grow steadily in the coming years in view of the growing demand for high fashion garments and its exports and the dynamic local retail sector consisting of local and foreign players. Argentina’s clothing preferences have leaned towards designs and brand names which are important, especially to the younger generation who are influenced by the US life styles and friends.
The all Apparel industry is fragmented and more than 65% is run by small family units employing on an average 50 people. The Argentinean textile and garment industry though self sufficient to an extent still heavily depend upon import of synthetic fibres and fabrics and novelty
Argentina is one of the largest countries in the world. It is sitting at the eighth largest country. It is filled with many valuable minerals. Also, Argentina has a great background of history. It was discovered by Juan D?az de Sol?s in early 16th century. It was disputed and is still being disputed today! Sebastian Cabot went exploring in 1526. He established a fort named Sancti Sp?ritus. Then in 1529, the natives of Argentina wiped out the whole fort, while Cabot was out looking for the ?City of Caesars.? Asunci?n and Buenos Aires played an important role in the rise of Argentina. It lured many settlers from Spain. After the Independence Movement, the area went through some tough times. The country fought until they were free from Spain. The government declared independence on July 9, 1816. A few years after that, the government fell apart.
Argentinian culture is a mixture of many other cultures and it has been largely influenced by Spanish colonialism and immigrants from all around the world and mostly from Europe. Buenos Aires is the capital city of Argentina. The city is also known as the cultural capital and it represents political, economic and cultural heart of the country. Argentinian culture is spreaded in lots of areas from dance to language and it has very unique sides which makes the culture extremely interesting.
Clothing is important because it’s a way to reflect our preferences, personality, culture, individuality, and uniqueness. People often use clothing to enhance their appearance and to impress other people but the reality is that clothing is a basic human need for the body and the mind, as it sometimes can influence our performance or boost our confidence. However, it is also important to know where and how our clothes are made, sold, and distributed to our favorite clothing stores. According to the article “Why America Stopped Making its Own Clothes”, in 1960, about 95 percent of the clothes sold were made in the United States. An average American person bought less than 25 garments each year, and an average American household spent around $497 in
The capital of Argentina is Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires is located on the east coast of Argentina, just below the border of Uruguay. Buenos Aires is a port city, making it Ideal for business. Buenos Aires was most likely chosen as the capital due to that fact. Buenos Aires is a major city, and a beautiful one too. However, this does not make it the number one city. In fact, the number one city in Argentina is Iguazu Falls. It is famous for the beautiful waterfall that it is named after. Iguazu falls is taller than Niagara falls, and can be reached from a small town via a nature walk. The third city in Argentina is Mendoza followed closely by Tierra del Fuego.

I am “argentum” in Latin, which is what the country Argentina is named after. Who am I?
Of the hundreds of named brand clothing that form part of the retail and fashion industry I chose to compare, for my analysis, Abercrombie & Fitch, Forever 21, American Eagle, and H&M. These stores are prominent, well-known for selling apparel, shoes, and accessories by the means of offering sales and promotions to their customers. This is a clever strategy for attracting customers, allowing them to believe that they bought goods at affordable, convenient prices – and not to mention the prestigious name prescribed to the clothing brands. Using keyhole.co as my main source, I obtained relevant and valuable information regarding the status of these brands. My intentions were to compare a period of 14 days, however, due to the limited access that I received from my free trial, the program only allowed me to see fewer of the dates than I anticipated. I want to take this opportunity and mention ahead of time that due to the various and distinctive products that are sold from these stores, when looking for the “spending capacity” I decided to focus on shirts/ jeans for men and women and compare the prices among them since each of these retailers carry those items and as a way to make this report easier to contrast and comprehend. Also, when approaching the section of “setting”, I screen-shotted some of the images on Instagram and made them into a collage to separate the type of clothes and trends that each of these brands sell currently.
