	Zara (clothing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zara is the flagship chain store for the Spanish Inditex Group, which also owns brands such as Massimo Dutti, Pull and Bear, Stradivarius and Bershka.
		Zara has a unique business model that has enabled it to expand and compete with quality brands at affordable prices.
		Zara was described by Louis Vuitton fashion director Daniel Piette as "possibly the most innovative and devastating retailer in the world".

	Gallaugher Nyt Quote - Boston College (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Zara, the big clothing chain based here, created a novel formula in apparel retailing by shipping new products to its 600 or so stores around the world every few days, not once a season, and by manufacturing more than 11,000 products a year, instead of several hundred.
		Zara is opening new stores at a rate of one a week, and shows no signs of slowing.
		Zara's huge warehouse features customized sorting machines built in Denmark and patterned on the equipment used by overnight parcel services; they can now handle 40,000 items an hour, and the company's capacity will roughly double in July when a big new center in Zaragoza in northeastern Spain comes on line.

	Zara's Secret for Fast Fashion - HBS Working Knowledge
		Zara is careful about the way it deploys the latest information technology tools to facilitate these informal exchanges.
		If the item is to be made in one of Zara's factories, they transmit the specs directly to the relevant cutting machines and other systems in that factory.
		This can be an expensive practice for a typical store, but since Zara stores receive small shipments and carry little inventory, the risks are small; unsold items account for less than 10 percent of stock, compared with the industry average of 17 percent to 20 percent.

	Flying Off the Rack
		While Zara is going against the grain, industry experts say its quick response strategy may be setting the fashion for the movement of apparel in the future.

		In “Zara’s Secret for Fast Fashion,” a February 2005 Harvard Business Review article on the company, the writers zero in on one of the reasons the clothing retailer is so popular with customers (and I say with women, in particular):
		Zara strives to refresh styles/colors/designs very frequently (and you should think about reading that HBR article for more on how they do it).
		Their clothing and business approach is appreciated by a more proactive customer – one who is motivated and inspired by retail scarcity, and who loves to feel special without breaking the bank.
