Gilly Hicks - Abercrombie Guns For Victoria's Secret


Abercrombie & Fitch is launching a new lingerie concept ("Concept 5" in internal A&F jargon) called Gilly Hicks. The new brand isn't Montauk-flavored (A&F) or California-influenced (Hollister), but rather down-under-ified (is that a word?), straight-outta Sydney.

The brand uses the same old A&F tricks: youthful, fit models shot on black and white film who prefer gallivanting-about sans clothing to anything else. Their intro video (click) is playful and exotic, reminiscent of cliché 90's television perfume ads.

What Abercrombie is trying to sell here, indeed, as they always have, is a lifestyle. They got teens and twenty-somethings hooked on their rugged, old-school outdoorsy theme at their original branded stores, sold us a piece of California's surf and punk culture at Hollister, and now they're trying to sell us Australian swimwear like it's some sort of nouveau Brazil. Is Australia the best image to sell for lingerie?

Aside from having the distinction of the highest skin cancer rates on earth, Australia might be a tough sell.

Only the future will divine whether Australia is a marketing dream: the first 5 to 7 Gilly Hicks boutiques open up around the US during January and February.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin to get real income.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
