<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Companies like Procter &amp; Gamble and Unilever have <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/r-china-brands-beat-global-rivals-with-tea-toothpaste--pickled-plums-2014-28">ambushed Chinese customers</a> with tailored assortments like green tea-flavored toothpaste. C</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">onsumer brands like Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie &amp; Fitch, and Old Navy are aggressively building stores in mainland China. </span></p>
<p>And J. Crew recently ignited controversy by <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/j-crew-starts-selling-size-000-2014-7">releasing a size 000 pant</a> for petite Asian shoppers.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">J. Crew's latest move reveals a trend that "can be difficult for Americans to grasp," <span> </span><a href="http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/whos-buying-j-crews-new-xxxs-clothes">writes Amy Merrick</a><span> at The New Yorker.</span> "As the U.S. has become a less attractive place to open stores, <keyword id="6354851" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Retail">retail</keyword> isn't solely about their needs anymore."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">"There's no doubt that companies across the spectrum, from Walmart to Louis Vuitton, are working to address the exploding middle-class of consumers that China represent</span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">s," </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Doug Stephens, </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">founder of industry website </span><a href="http://www.retailprophet.com/">Retail Prophet</a><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"> and author of "</span><a href="http://www.retailprophet.com/home/my-book/" title="MY BOOK">The Retail Revival: Re-Imagining Business for the New Age of Consumerism</a><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">" told Business Insider. </span><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/4f983aebecad04131200003f-900-675/dsc_0471.jpg" border="0" alt="Walmart, Shanghai, China, Asia, Yepoka Yeebo" style="line-height: 1.5em;" /><p class="source"><span><a href="http://www.yepokayeebo.com/">Yepoka Yeebo / Business Insider</a></span></p></div><p></p></div></div><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">While retail growth in China has slowed from peak levels, the country is still a much more attractive place to open stores, Stephens said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">China's retail market expands by 18% every year, <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/12/how-walmart-is-changing-china/308709/">according to The Atlantic</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"><span>"<span>As consumers in developed nations are de-leveraging of credit and de-cluttering their lives of material assets, Chinese consumers are doing precisely the opposite," Stephens said. "They are hungry for what they see as being the trappings of the middle-class lifestyle."</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"><span><span>China is also attractive to luxury companies, as the country is set to pass the U.S. in millionaires.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Merrick notes that fashion powerhouse Chanel seated several Chinese style icons in the front row of its runway show. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"><span><span><span>And Chinese models Liu Wen and Ming Xi have been </span><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/chinese-model-ming-xi-2014-5">prominently featured</a><span> in campaigns for Victoria's Secret, Dior, Lanvin, and Diane von Furstenberg. </span></span></span></span><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/53d811776da8112330a608a2-1200-924/victorias-secret-2013-49.jpg" border="0" alt="victoria's secret 2013" style="line-height: 1.5em;" /><p class="source"><span>Daniel Goodman for Business Insider </span></p></div><p></p></div></div><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Demographics also play a role in China's appeal. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">America's aging population is unattractive to retailers, who would rather invest in countries filled with young consumers who can become lifelong customers, Stephens said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">China's growing middle class offers the perfect opportunity for American retailers who cater to the struggling poor and middle class. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Wal-Mart <span></span><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/photos-from-shopping-at-chinese-wal-mart-2014-1">plans to open</a><span> 100 additional Chinese stores in the near future</span> as sales in the U.S. continue to fall.</span></p>

American Consumers Aren't Retail's Top Priority Anymore

<p>West says his bride <span>- not him <span>- is behind the photo going viral.</span></span></p>
<p><span>"It's because of Kim," West says in an <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/kanye-wests-craziest-quotes-from-gq-interview-2014-7#ixzz387OtbpPq" target="_blank">amusing new interview</a> with <a href="http://www.gq.com/entertainment/celebrities/201408/kanye-west" target="_blank">GQ magazine</a>. "Meaning there's no photo that I would have put up by myself, or next to one of my smarty friends, that would have got that amount of likes."</span></p>
<p><span><span>West says he thinks the snapshot got "that amount of likes" because it features "a flower wall from the same guy who does the Lanvin shows, it has a couture Givenchy dress, and Givenchy tuxedo in it ... </span></span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">communicating the highest level of creativity."</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">But the now-famous shot didn't come easy.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">West has said <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/kimye-wedding-photo-took-4-days-2014-6" target="_blank">it took four days to perfect the picture</a> before Kim posted it to the public <span>-</span> after Annie Leibovitz <span>dropped out as the couple's wedding photog just days before the extravagant ceremony.</span><br /></span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Let me tell you something about that kiss photo that my girl put up … this was pissing my girl off during the honeymoon, she was exhausted because we worked on the photo so much because Annie Leibovitz pulled out right before the wedding. I think that she [Leibovitz] was, like, scared of the idea of celebrity.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Because Annie pulled out, I was like, 'Okay, I still want my wedding photos to look like Annie Leibovitz,' and we sat there and worked on that photo for, like, four days because the flowers were off-color."</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">But it was all worth it, West says, because he got to marry his "dinosaur."</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Like they said in <em>Step Brothers:</em> Never lose your dinosaur," West explained to <a href="http://www.gq.com/entertainment/celebrities/201408/kanye-west" target="_blank">GQ</a>. "This is the ultimate example of a person never losing his dinosaur. Meaning that even as I grew in cultural awareness and respect and was put higher in the class system in some way for being this musician, I never lost my dinosaur."</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span><span>He continued, "You mean to tell me that this girl with this f------ body and this face is also into style, and she's a nice person, and she has her own money and is family-oriented? That's just as cool as a f------ fighter jet or dinosaur! And just as rarely seen."</span></span></span></p>

Kanye West Says Kim Kardashian Is Responsible For Their Wedding Photo Going Viral

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/53a2ef86ecad04263225a670-1200-924/hanging-out-weekend-4.jpg?maxX=800" border="0" alt="hanging out weekend" width="800" /><p class="source"><span><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomasrousing/">Flickr/thomasrousing</a></span></p></div><p></p></div>On the sixth and seventh days, you get to wear exactly what you want. Still, if you'd like to get noticed-for the right reasons-there are a few guidelines to keep in mind.</p>
<p>1. You can go outside in sweatpants, as long as they're not the same ones you'd sleep in. Designers are doling out slimmer, tailored versions that aren't meant for the gym.</p>
<p>2. Keep the office dress shirts in your closet, but don't underestimate the power of a good button-down-you'll get endless use out of an oxford in linen or a lighter cotton weave come spring.</p>
<p>3. A three-quarter trench coat like this one instantly dresses up everything, from jeans to sweatpants. Think of it as your ultimate cheat when stepping out the door.</p>
<p>4. Comfort can no longer be used as an excuse for ignoring your personal style when you're out of the office. From Margaret Howell to Alexander Wang, designers are focusing on weekend-ready clothing now more than ever.</p>
<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/53a2edc7ecad04ad2e25a670-800-573/screen-shot-2014-06-19-at-10.02.jpg" border="0" alt="Screen Shot 2014 06 19 at 10.02" /><p class="source"><span>_</span></p><p class="caption">Sneakers, clockwise from top left: Giorgio Armani ($525), Common Projects ($594), Nike ($150), Comme des Garçons Shirt x Erik Schedin ($365).</p></div><p></p></div></div>5. Clean, minimalist sneakers like the ones above are basically the dress shoes of the weekend. They work not only with a suit (which can and should be thrown into the rotation on a Saturday; see Rule 6) but with everything else on these pages as well. Buy a pair (or all four) and never think twice about what to wear them with again.</p>
<p>6. While it feels as effortless and comfortable as a T-shirt, a lightweight knit (be it silk or a wool-cotton blend) is amazingly breathable and makes a suit jacket look eminently sharper (below).</p>
<p>7. Suit separates aren't meant only for the nine-to-five grind. A lightweight, unlined blazer with a soft shoulder (above, left) and matching pants can be just as comfortable as khakis and a denim jacket.</p>
<p>8. Even the most familiar patterns can be smartened up by way of unexpected tweaks to the color palette. In the case of the M65 camo zip-up, the tones are darker, lending a grown-up, sophisticated vibe that your old army jacket can't match.</p>
<p>9. The spring 2014 runways saw designers from Fendi to Ermenegildo Zegna play around with black tie, incorporating silk scarves, close-fitting cardigans, and even henleys. Don't be afraid to do the same.</p>
<p>10. A one-of-a-kind accessory can be a cornerstone of your off-the-clock uniform. Whether it's a slim Saint Laurent belt, a Lanvin cashmere-cotton scarf, or a sartorial watch strap, find something you love and wear it with everything.</p>
<p>11. If you don't want to go full-on tux, opt for slim-cut black jeans instead. They perfectly embody dressed-up, laid-back confidence, and there's nothing they don't look good with.</p>
<p>12. Doing undone black tie right means keeping the key pieces monochromatic, like choosing a slim-cut, dark-blue T-shirt instead of a white one. Add sleek sneakers and take on the night.</p>
