Forever 21再破產!零售寒冬與網購衝擊難擋




美國快時尚零售商Forever 21申請第11章破產

美國快時尚零售商Forever 21的營運公司於週日申請第11章破產,該公司面臨著零售流量減少和線上競爭加劇的挑戰。

這是該公司在六年內的第二次破產申請,此次申請的背景是它未能為其在美國超過300家零售店找到買家,預示著該公司的清算可能即將到來。

在2019年,Forever 21首次申請破產,當時它正在應對商場客流量減少,以及來自新進入者如中國品牌Shein的線上競爭。

Forever 21隨後由Sparc救助,該公司是由擁有Forever 21商標的Authentic Brands Group和Brookfield Asset Management的合資企業。

根據Forever 21在特拉華州破產法庭的申請,該公司的資產價值在1億至5億美元之間,而負債在10億至100億美元之間。

該零售商將在其店鋪進行清倉銷售以清理庫存,並將進行法院監督的資產銷售和市場推廣過程。

在2000年代末,Forever 21曾達到其受歡迎的巔峰,並在美國以外的地區及一些主要新興市場(如印度)開設店鋪。

然而,隨著電子商務的興起,特別是線上快時尚的興起,過去十年其銷售額不斷下滑。

儘管如此,這次破產申請僅適用於其美國業務,因為Forever 21的大部分海外業務是通過特許經營和許可協議運作的。

在這個瞬息萬變的零售環境中,Forever 21的破產故事反映了快時尚行業的脆弱性。隨著電子商務的迅速發展,傳統零售商面臨著越來越大的壓力,這不僅僅是Forever 21的問題,而是整個行業所面對的挑戰。這件事情也提醒了我們,品牌需要不斷創新和適應市場變化,才能在競爭激烈的環境中生存。

同時,Forever 21的情況也引發了對於消費者購物習慣的反思。現今消費者越來越傾向於選擇方便快捷的網上購物,而不是傳統的店面購物。這對於未來的零售商來說,意味著他們需要重新思考如何與消費者互動,並在數字化轉型中找到新的增長點。

[Subject]: Young Asian female with "Imada Mio-inspired" doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large round expressive eyes, a small V-line face, and rosy cheeks. Her expression is innocent, energetic, and slightly flirty. [Hair]: Messy morning hair (剛睡醒的凌亂感), long dark brown hair, slightly tousled, natural volume. [Outfit]: Wearing an oversized translucent white button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫), unbuttoned at the top to reveal collarbones, creating a "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格). [Style]: Japanese Gravure Photobook style (寫真集風格), Pure & Sexy vibe, bright high-key lighting, soft skin texture, Fujifilm PRO 400H color tone. Use the original face exactly as it is, without changing a details. A full-body photograph of a glamorous female model in a vibrant, retro 1950s pin-up style bikini. The lighting should be bright, sunny, and highly saturated, evocative of a vintage summer advertisement or a pop art aesthetic.
Model & Outfit:
• Model: A slender woman with a confident, slightly posed expression.
• Hair & Accessories: A white and blue patterned headband tied in a bow. Bold, dark cat-eye sunglasses. Large gold hoop earrings and thick, stacked gold bangle bracelets on both wrists. Bright red lipstick.
• Swimwear: A two-piece retro bikini with a high-waisted bottom and a halter-neck top. The top is turquoise/teal with white polka dots, featuring a large bow detail at the bust. The bottom is a contrasting, high-rise, ruched style in pale peach or coral with small dark polka dots.
Setting & Composition:
• Location: A mid-century modern-style poolside scene on a bright sunny day.
• Background Details: A sparkling blue swimming pool, several brightly colored lounge chairs (yellow, teal, pink), and large beach umbrellas (striped orange and white). There are large, bright flotation devices (yellow, teal, orange inner tube) scattered around the edge of the pool.
• Composition: Vertical, full-body shot. The model is centered, and the background is slightly blurred (shallow depth of field) to keep the focus on the model.
Aesthetic Keywords:
• Vibrant, High Saturation, Retro Summer, 1950s Pin-up, Mid-Century Modern, Pop Art, Poolside Glamour, Commercial Photography, Magazine Ad, Halter Bikini, High-Waisted, Sunny Day. Prompt (Enhanced, Artistic & Detailed):

A young Asian female inspired by "Imada Mio's" delicate doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉), featuring extraordinarily large, round, and soulful eyes with subtle brown irises, framed by long fluttering lashes. Her face is petite and exquisitely shaped with a defined V-line jaw, soft rosy cheeks flushed with youthful vitality, and plush, natural lips softly parted in a gentle, innocent yet slightly flirtatious expression. Her complexion is luminous and porcelain-smooth.

Her hair is long, dark chocolate brown, and styled in an artfully messy “just woke up” look (剛睡醒的凌亂感), with tousled waves and a touch of natural volume that frames her face and cascades down her shoulders, effortlessly blending wildness and charm.

She wears an oversized, semi-sheer white button-down shirt in a borrowed-from-the-boyfriend style (男友風白襯衫); the shirt slips loosely off her slim shoulders, unbuttoned at the top to reveal graceful collarbones and a hint of décolleté. The hem of the shirt falls mid-thigh, creating a tasteful "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格), her bare legs just visible beneath the diaphanous fabric, enhancing a pure yet subtly sexy visual impact.

The image is rendered with a high-key, natural daylight aesthetic reminiscent of Japanese gravure photobooks (寫真集風格): bright, airy lighting softly illuminates her features, casting gentle highlights and diffuse shadows for a dreamy, ethereal effect. Skin is rendered creamy and velvety with impeccable smoothness. The color palette echoes Fujifilm PRO 400H—soft, milky tones with delicate pastels, gentle greens, natural skin, and a nostalgic film grain that adds warmth and authenticity, evoking an elegant, fresh, and intimate atmosphere.

She is posed naturally, perhaps seated on light bed linens or by a sunlit window, exuding a blend of youthful innocence, pure allure, and quiet confidence. Hyper-detailed, cinematic composition, fine-tuned for photorealism yet with a subtle artistic charm.
