The Long Tail, fashion design and collectables

I don't make a point of cross-referring my own posts, but there's very little overlap between the readerships of IP Finance and Fashionista-at-law, and my piece there this morning ("Does my Long Tail look big in this outfit?", here) is arguably as relevant, if not more so, to readers of this blog than that one. The piece draws attention to the imbalance between the windows of opportunity for deriving revenue as between fashion designers on the one hand, whose markets are often ephemeral creatures of a single season, and sellers of collectable dolls on the other. Enjoy!
