Rayne Reed’s F/W17 Must-Haves Under $100

by Aaron Kok  /   September 13, 2017

As the Head of Private Labels at Zalora, one of Southeast Asia’s largest e-commerce sites, Rayne Reed never misses a beat. Between testing out prototypes and working with her team of designers to encapsulate next season’s trends, she’s got her thumb set on everything relating to her stable of private labels.

The result of Rayne’s hard work? A constant flow of stylish pieces that will appeal to every and all Zalora customers, regardless of occasion, budget or personal style. After all, the site is one of the few e-commerce giants who study the shopping habits and customer data religiously, and use this information to help them develop and produce the merchandise to better relate to the customer’s changing wants and needs.

Still, Rayne isn’t just all business and numbers. Having spent years working in the international fashion market, she’s got a keen sense of what’s trending before it even becomes a thing. It’s this alchemy of knowing what sells and knowing what’s cool that makes her a wonder woman in her work.

Taking some time out of her busy schedule to chat with us, she gives us the 411 on Zalora’s private labels, as well as a comprehensive look on the Fall/Winter 2017 must-haves!

1. Why is Zalora launching its own stable of private labels?

As a fashion company, our private label brands allow us to bring exclusivity to the site, with our customized collections for our customers in Southeast Asia.

With our private labels, we can create unique and diverse fashion identities, ultimately allowing us to control our own destiny as a fashion business.

Living, eating, and working along side our customers in Southeast Asia allows our private label team to offer styles that are unique exclusively designed for our customer in mind. We strive every day to inspire our customers with fresh new fashion ideas, and re-defined classics.

2. Can you explain what these private labels are, and how they differ?
image

We have an amazing collection of brands in our private label portfolio, offering diverse and exclusive offerings in the apparel, footwear and accessories departments for both men and women.

Our Zalora label is designed with the contemporary woman and man in mind, and customers can find complete ‘head to toe’ looks.

Something Borrowed focuses on trend-driven styling that gets its inspiration from youth culture, of-the-moment trends, and a fresh spin on feminine street style.

Zalia is our label that offers modest fashion with a modern twist. The label takes pride in essential lifestyle pieces for every girl, as well as a glamourous occasion dresses, which include a beautiful range of dresses for Hari Raya and other special occasions.  

Lastly, Velvet offers fun, flirty and feminine footwear and bags in the essential shapes of every season. They come in a huge range of colours and prints.

3. What are the attributes that you feel set Zalora’s private labels apart from the rest of the brands that the site carries?

We know our customer better than any other brand can. We design and live in Southeast Asia, so we are at the very heart of our customer’s daily lives.

Every day we strive to offer a relevant range of fashion, at the very best quality and value possible.

We study sales results and website shopping patterns every day, and are able to respond to what our customer is interested quickly.

4. What is a typical work day in the life of Rayne like?
image

I can promise you no two days are alike in the Zalora Design studio! Every day brings exciting new ideas, amazing opportunities and important challenges.

To give you an example of a few key activities for this week: working with my design team to identify key trends for our March collections, ensuring our best-sellers make the October delivery timeline, reviewing fabrication and shape for the Hari Raya 2018 collections, finalizing looks for our Jakarta Fashion Week show, presenting our Fall/Winter ‘17 range to our VIP customers, voting on our semi-finalists for our “Make Me a Zalora Model” completion, hosting a group of school children in the design studio to share what fashion is all about…the list goes on!

Of course, all of this is possible because of my amazing team at Zalora. My team inspires me daily, and I am very lucky.

5. Trend Focus: Ruffles.

Feminine touches are everywhere this season, and ruffles are one of the top trends in our collections.
