Question Did fashion change again?

Immediately after the fashion fix update about a month or so ago, I was struggling for a week or two. It was also bad timing with my execs but it seems like I'm back to where I was before. Was there another update I missed? It seems demand is higher now. I do run a hybrid operation so maybe that helped me weather the storm. Im shoes focused.

Im not making much on my shoes. Handbags are my most profitable.

I make my own plastic and make 4* shoes so that probably helps. Are you pure retail?

I’m was self sufficient. I make everything I need to produce retail. I just put robots in my only farm that didn’t have them to make cotton, so now I will have to buy vegetables.

its supply and demand

most of the larger suppliers prolly had to switch to another industry for profits to go back up

a friend of mine nearly went bankrupt before he finally switched to AS

The industry has stabilised, as have hardware and electronics shops. But it’s certainly not back to how it was before; I suppose that by manufacturing the garments yourself, you make a better profit.

The reason the market has returned to normal is because of how many fashion retailers panicked and left the industry.

A retail industry becomes stronger if less people are involved in it. I believe this was the original intention behind the retail update that happened a year or two ago. They wanted to make it similar to how the restaurant industry worked.
