Episode description
Apparel and footwear will continue to see strong growth from 2017 into 2018, bolstered by brands coming out of emerging markets. Children's brands from China are seeing especially strong growth, due to the abolishment of the one-child policy. China wasn't the only country making its mark on global performance, however. Mexico and Brazil also saw strong growth and contributed to overall global sales.
