Acknowledgements

We would like to thank all of the brand owners for their time and participation in this project. For without them, this would not be possible.

We would also like to thank Kaelin Lents, undergraduate research assistant and student in Apparel, Merchandising and Design at Iowa State University. She assisted with numerous tasks to help make this project possible.

We are also thankful to the grant funded through ISU’s Provost Office who provided financial support for this project.
