the right:<\/em><\/strong> paying attention to the business side of design<\/em><\/p>\n

you would hear fashion people talking about 80\/20 all the time. my friend ce ce even named her shoe line 80%20<\/a>. but what is it?<\/p>\n

the general name is ‘pareto principle’ –\u00a080% of the result is from 20% of the effort.<\/p>\n

it means:
\n20% of your favorite clothes will make up 80% of your look.
\n20% of the tastemakers will be responsible for 80% of the trends.
\n20% of the line will generate 80% of your sales.
\n20% of the designers will commend 80% of the coverage.\u00a0you get the idea.<\/p>\n

the key is to not forget the other side of the argument. even though 2 out of the 10 styles will generate the bulk of the sales, it’s the other 8 styles that define the identity, differentiate the label, and generate press (if you are doing it right). it’s the 80% consisting of the editorial pieces that is pushing the 20% of basics to sales.<\/p>\n

after all, if everyone is considered to have good taste, there good taste doesn’t exist at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
