Before the lesson commences I will them
distribute the information sheets and

the learning intentions and success
outcomes for this lesson.

This is an example of a Multi-National
Organisation.

Other international fast fashion stores such

as H&M, Victorias Secret, Top Shop,
Sephora and Zara have been introduced into
Australia.
H&M is the most prominent international
chain of fast fashion stores to be introduced
into Australia. It is the second-larget
retailer in the world behind Inditex, the
parent company behind the Spanish-based
Zara chain.

These stores provide a lot more competition

to independent retailers who have to work
harder. But most of these stores have
moved online and have been performing
better than TNOs and MNCs. Interestingly
enough the small independent retailers have
moved into the online space and done that
as well - if not better - than the big
retailers."

The shops designs are all the same as in the

Malaysian store. This is an example of
McDonaldisation of fashion, it is the same
in every country site. This stores like Dotti,
Factorie, etc are an example of fast fashion.
Where are all of these clothes sourced from?
(Produce an example of a Cotton On
Clothing). They are produced from China,
etc.
