nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Fashion industry had been rampantly focused before the economic crisis. Luckily enough, nowadays, it turns out to be recovering step by step, with a trend of merger and annexation.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Catherine Malandrino is said to be negotiating with Kellwood Co. on the matter of merger. So do Andrew Rosen and Proenza Schouler. In the past one year, Steve Madden has successfully purchased Betsey Johnson while Kellwood has had the ownership of Rebecca Taylor as well as Adam, VF Corp has bought Ella Moss and Splendid while The Jones Group Inc has possessed Robert Rodriguez and Rachel Roy. On the other hand, Tory Burch has accepted an investment came from Mexico while CEO of Theory Link Holdings has privately invested a large sum of money in Alice+Olivia, Gryphon and Ragamp;Bone.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Sales director of Sage Group, Paul Altman says, ldquo;There are more and more merger and annexation happening today. More importantly, quite many companies would like to promote their business in this way.rdquo;

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; According to industry analystsrsquo; opinions, three reasons dominate a companyrsquo;s decision whether to give up the running right or not: the hope of opening up retail stores, the hope of multiplying productsrsquo; variety and the hope of exploiting oversea markets. And these three urges require huge amount of capita and human resource.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Nanette Lepore, Milly and Tibi are being run by couples. As for them, maintaining the independent right of management is the only way to broaden their brand, free from othersrsquo; disturbance. Tibirsquo;s generator and designer Amy Smilovic say, ldquo;We have received a lot of invitation from investors. In spite of getting so much money, from a long-term angle, we will be uncomfortable to report to the investors about our operating situations. As long as our company remains profitable, filled with good record of management and harmony of our staff, we cannot think of any reason to put our company on sale.rdquo;

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Rebecca Taylor, Adam, Vince are struggling joining some other bigger corporations. They claim that they can easily get more resources from a giant organization, such as human resources, accountancy, laws, IT, customer services and so on; in this way, the efficiency of their companies will be brought up gradually, capable of extending their companies to other areas.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; In a nutshell, to sell or not to sell, thatrsquo;s a question, depending on careful consideration of the actual conditions.
