24. CONCLUSION!
BANANA REPUBLIC
VALENTINO X!
Banana Republics preppy sportswear aesthetic blends
perfectly with Valentinos multicultural design inspirations,
implementing a unique 鍖are that the target customers will
certainly appreciate. Consumers will be able to achieve
Valentinos high-end styles, but at price scales that they can
easily afford.The expectation is that the blue-camo jacket will
be the hit of the collection, as it was an exceedingly popular
piece in Valentinos spring menswear collection. At Banana
Republic, the product development team applied a neutral
color palette so that the target consumer will be able to achieve
versatility in their wardrobes. Overall this particular line plan
and collaboration with Valentino will be pro鍖table, successful
and will bene鍖t not only the business, but also Banana
Republics fashion-forward consumers.!
