For the first three months of the financial year, fashion retailer Hennes & Maurits published its sales increase of 18%. The profit of the company came down to €21 billion (SEK19,74 billion, excluding VAT), compared to €17,8 billion for last year. The first quarter of 2008 ended on 29th February 2008.
The net profit of the Swedish fashion retailer ended on €313 million. This is an increase of 28% in comparison to the net profit in 2007 (€245 million). The sales developments are mainly the result of the higher quality of the collections, and the increased internet- and catalogue sales. Due to the dollar price, the low wholesale and transport costs also contributed to H&M positive figures.
Next to in-house fashion labels such as L.O.G.G and Devided, the fashion company also carries the label COS (Collection Of Style). Last year London saw the launch of a shop dedicated to COS on Regent Street. At the beginning of March, H&M acquired shares of Swedish Fabric Scandinavian and denim label Cheap Monday. These acquirements are not included within the first quarter.
H&M launched eleven new stores and closed down four in the first quarter of 2008. The number of stores amounted to 1,529 on 29th February 2008 versus 1,351 the year before. For the second quarter of 2008, the company is looking to open another 54 stores, mostly located in the UK, US, Spain, Italy and Germany.

2008 Prom Dress Themes
Months before prom night, young ladies begin looking for that perfect prom dress. One popular trend is to buy 2008 prom dresses according to prom themes. Fashion trends are always changing, and some ladies prefer to go for the latest and the best though of course this is not within the budget or even preference of every girl going to the prom that year. From following celebrities, fashion magazines, and other trend indicators, there are many choices that a girl may look at when deciding on her prom dress. Now such a decision is made with hours of consultations with friends and an exchange of ideas and suggestions from many sources. Prom themes can be great when you get stuck and are unable to decide which way to go.
Themes are also good because they help you to focus on the color, style, cut, and fabric of your prom dress. Once you get started it is easier to focus on such things as accessories and finally arrive at that perfect look for your prom night. The only thing better than looking good alone is looking good together with your friends. Themes are reinforced when friends dress alike because it drives home the point that your friendships will continue into the new phase of life.
One of the most popular and longstanding themes for prom dresses is the one associated with Cinderella. The classic princess dress with glass slippers is not only a favorite with many but is also one of the few themes that never gets old or out of fashion. If nothing else, then it is a safe choice.
Another theme that has gained favor with prom attendees is one based on Hollywood and its various celebrities. This does not only follow the latest trends but sometimes goes back into history and brings back the classics that bring along their own aura of freshness through a long absence.
Themes may also follow music but they are a bit difficult to follow. Music themes depend on the colors that are being planned to go with the music. The safe way is to ensure that your own choice of colors is in rapport with the overall theme and not against it.The accessories you choose need equally attention when you plan your 2008 prom dresses according to prom themes. Just be sure and not fall into the trap of overdoing anything. Sometimes all it takes is one small touch and everything becomes self-evident. Decide on a good prom theme and your choice will naturally become easier as well as unique.
