its amazing to see how one event affects all parts
of the world.
with thousands of deaths and still in the counting,
japans economic losses estimate to $300 billion
[property damage, business interruption losses, nuclear
problems, and the list goes on]
its amazing to see people unite and reach out in efforts to
alleviate the disaster. (these are only a few)
-Uniqlo's CEO Tadashi Yanai donated from his own pocket
$12 million to the Japanese Red Cross + $5 million from
the company and $8. 6 million in clothing.
-Forever 21 donated 100% of its global online sales of
March 18, 2011, which came to a total of about $2 million.
...:
-people in japan have other things to worry about...not fashion
therefore they are not spending. the japanese market makes up
about 20% of some luxury brands....!!
-japan manufactures many different parts such as automobile+
electronics--> has worldwide effects.
-food+water contaminated by radioactive materials.
-lack of care for the elderly, animals :(
