Buy/View it here

Recently I have explored a very elegant styled short silk skirt at Zentrend.com while on my search for a contemporary styled silk skirt for my sister. She had her college reunion party and wished to wear something that will leave everyone admiring, something very antique and beautiful to be worn.

As online designer clothing store have been the best alternative to find a wide range of products with minimal efforts and time I started searching some antique designer skirts online. While on my search I founded this silk brocade skirt made up of 100 % silk “zari” brocade.

This eastern inspired silk brocade skirt comes with a contrasting color belt. It is available in two colors – Black/Red and Fushia/Green. It has been proved worthy of being chosen for such special occasions.

Silk with its texture and elegance gives antique look to every type of clothing as it does to this silk brocade skirt and other silk skirts, silk tops and silk wraps available on the online designer store – Zentrend. Thanks to Zentrend.com that I could make a wonderful choice

E-Commerce Gets Collaborative

Zentrend.com adjudged to be making efforts in promoting undiscovered designers, unique designer clothing from beaded corsets to silk and lace dresses right your way in an article by Robert McAllister, Technology Editor, Apparelnews.net

By Robert McAllister : Collaboration has been the buzz in B2B software applications such as PLM (product lifecycle management) and ERP (enterprise resource planning). Now it’s becoming more important in B2C applications. Two Bay Area Web resources have rolled out separate e-commerce entities that go straight to the horse’s mouth to determine what clothing styles to sell on the Web.

Mountain View, Calif.–based ZenTrend and Emeryville, Calif.–based IndiCustom are taking similar concepts of using consumer input to sell apparel, but they are taking different approaches.

ZenTrend (www.zentrend.com) is a collaborative e-commerce site launched last year by former HP and Symantec executive Lekha Srinivasan. The site offers clothing from up-and-coming yet undiscovered designers in the contemporary and misses categories with price tags from $30 to $120. Merchandise ranges from beaded corsets to silk and lace dresses.

The main thrust behind the business is a new technology called iStyler>, which is a collaborative platform enabling the site’s visitors to take the seat of “Project Runway” judge Nina Garcia to give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down to designs via fashion illustrations by the designers. The input received helps determine whether the style makes the cut into next season’s merchandise mix at ZenTrend. Consumers providing input are entered into a drawing for a prize.

“It gives the consumer more power. They tell us things like ‘I really love that style, but if you offer it in taupe rather than red, I would buy it,” Srinivasan said. “Historically, consumers are never really asked up front in the process of apparel design and manufacturing. They’re pushed into what’s available, what the designer has to offer. I wanted to change that.”

ZenTrend actually contracts the production and manufacturing for the garments, using only illustrations, technical specifications, fit analysis or other pre-production processes from the selected designers, who receive compensation and are promoted and marketed through the site.

The company is currently working with several designers from Europe. Designers are required to have experience working with significant companies as well as have the ability to create sellable styles. The site features an area where designers can submit portfolios. And a portion of proceeds is donated to a number of charities.

“One of our visions is to promote these undiscovered designers and try to bring them to the forefront and provide them with a platform,” Srinivasan said. “There’s a lot of talent out there that does not have the capital and resources to get their names known.”

Zentrend-an Online Fashion Store

Being a big fan of unique high fashion clothing, I came across a fabulous online fashion store of my choice. I used to spend much of my time in searching fashionable clothes with a spark of new trend and that too in a reasonable range.

During my hunt for such an online designer clothes store, I came across a site http://www.zentrend.com that can serve my need and desire for designer dresses online.

I have used 2 of the dresses from Zentrend, one is the beautiful Silk Halter Contrast Dress made up of 100% silk and the other one gold accented Brocade Silk Corset and turned out to be more and more fascinated towards their awesome collection.

ZenTrend is an on-line fashion clothing store dedicated to high-fashion Eastern-inspired women’s fashionable dresses. The main focus of this online designer clothing store is basically on blending vibrant patterns, colors, textures and embroideries from the East, with graceful contemporary styles.

They offer contemporary style skirts, tops, shawls, stoles and other accessories. I like their accessories the most. I found most of the styles available on zentrend.com, hand crafted, embroidered, made up of 100% silk, dresses with chiffon, charmeuse and brocades.

One most important thing that I like about this site is that ZenTrend is actively seeking to promote emerging design talent, to augment its Eastern-influenced collections leveraging a truly global model. Soon they will be starting on online voting feature on their site which would make possible the reach to new, fresh and creative designer clothing.
