business factors and changing consumer tastes. The weak dollar has helped give 
some American labels an advantage over European rivals, whose prices have soared 
by as much as 30% over the past two years. "The Europeans are pricing themselves 
out of the American market -- $3,000 isn't going to buy you Dior anymore," says 
David Wolfe, creative director of retail consultant Doneger Group. These edgy 
American designer brands "stand a better chance at becoming solid commercial 
successes than Americans ever have had in the history of the rag trade," he 
says.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1D44273D-2CCF-430D-8562-0BAABB6BA1E2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
