Industry research firm IBISWorld offers the followingoverview of the markets served by the Women’s and Children’s Apparel Wholesalingsector:4

Industry AnalysisLML’s new retail location will allow the Company to operate in the U.S. ClothingBoutiques industry.

“IBISWorld estimates that sales of women's clothing make up the majority of theClothing Boutiques industry's sales,” the research firm writes. “Women's fashionrepresents the cornerstone of apparel industries, as luxury fashion is mostlydesigned for women. Its prominence in the fashion world is not expected to change,and this product segment is expected to remain steady.”6

“IBISWorld estimates that about four-fifths of the industry's sales to consumerscome from women while only about one-fifth come from men. For both men andwomen consumers, however, the industry's major markets are perhaps bestsegmented by age.”7

CompetitorsMiami Beach is a well-known leader in the global fashion scene, and, as such,numerous brands operate boutiques in the city. LML will compete with these localcompetitors and with other global brands that design collections similarly inspiredby music, culture, and street style. However, no other designer currently operatingin the local or online market provides the Company’s signature blend of art, style,and quality. LML will capitalize on this market niche by earning a reputation as aleading provider of music-inspired apparel in both the local and online spheres. TheCompany has carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of its stylecompetitors, and will utilize the following analyses of these businesses’ successesand shortcomings as a roadmap as it finalizes its own marketing and operationalplans:W.I.A. CollectionsW.I.A. Collections offers graphically arresting, street-style clothing for men andwomen with a strong signature look. This brand is designed in Spain and Italy, andmanufactures its products in Spain. Price points are considerably higher than LML.SHADE LondonSHADE London is a primarily online retailer of a small collection of clothing for menand women. The brand’s logo figures prominently into the design of every item, andthe cuts and styles of the clothing are not highly creative.JoyrichStreet-style and casual clothing designer Joyrich is an international companyoffering clothing for men and women. The brand collaborates frequently with well-known companies such as Disney, Coca-Cola, and Playboy to create unique co-branded apparel and accessories.Nasir MazharU.K.-based designer Nasir Mazhar creates fashion-forward street-style designs formen and women as well as his signature hats. His creations have been worn by LadyGaga. Nasir Mazhar’s first full clothing collection debuted at London Fashion Weekin 2013.The Ragged PriestU.K. clothing brand The Ragged Priest offers modern takes on vintage clothing withan edgy, fashion-forward spirit. Ragged Priest clothing is carried by major U.K.retailers Topshop and ASOS, which also sell LML’s merchandise.

Competitive EdgeThe Company will experience competition from other clothing designers andretailers, most of which lack an equally strong and internationally acclaimedlifestyle brand. LML will capitalize on its competitors’ weaknesses by building onseveral strengths: Distinct music-inspired look International reputation Strong designs make a compelling lifestyle brand High-quality apparel for women Miami Beach flagship location Established wholesale accounts with major retailers Wholesale showroom on-site Hosts events at major music festivals User-friendly online store Clothing worn by major celebrities and performing artists Creator of custom stage costumes for Miami-based touring artistsIn addition, LML’s wholesale showroom will provide the Company with directaccess to new and existing celebrity clients who are eager to wear LML clothes forpress events and performances. This proximity will not only maintain butstrengthen the Company’s relationships with celebrities, as the Miami Beachshowroom will allow for more efficient and expedient accommodation of needs.
