In August 2025, Vogue US ran a Guess ad that quickly became a lightning rod for debate. The campaign featured two hyper-realistic AI-generated models — Vivienne and Anastasia — crafted by London-based agency Seraphinne Vallora. Although there was a small disclaimer about their AI origins, it was subtle enough that many readers barely noticed.

Navigating Tariffs, Supply Chain Shifts, and Apparel Pricing
Author(s): Scott Douglas Jacobsen
Publication (Outlet/Website): The Good Men Project
Publication Date (yyyy/mm/dd): 2025/05/10
Robert Felder, CEO of Bearbottom, outlined the short-term challenges of tariff uncertainty, including disrupted supply chains and rising costs, especially for goods sourced from China. To adapt, Bearbottom is shifting production to India and increasing inventory. Felder noted the continued dominance of Chinese fabric supply, despite relocating final manufacturing. He predicts higher prices and changing consumer expectations, particularly with the end of de minimis imports. Felder believes stable policy is crucial for encouraging U.S.-based production. Overall, tariffs are forcing strategic shifts in sourcing, pricing, and investment, with limited relief currently available to businesses.
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: How have the new tariffs affected supply chains and pricing strategies in the short term?
Robert Felder: In the short term, there has been a lot of uncertainty for businesses. Businesses are unable to confidently forecast demand and are also struggling with what to do with their supply chains, as tariffs and their impacts are so rapidly changing. In the short term, it seems that some brands will be raising prices based on the available information and potential policy. A lot of companies are, however, waiting as long as possible, hoping for a clearer path of what will happen so they can make a more long-term strategy. For products from China, there is basically no choice but to raise prices in the short term, though.
Jacobsen: How are you managing inventory planning and forecasting potential shortages?
Felder: We are pushing to increase inventory levels as we source primarily from India. Products that in the past have come from China, we are planning to move the production to India. Our mindset is to take advantage of the known and not get in trouble facing the unknown. We know the product costs we will face now, so we are going to take advantage of the situation while we can.
Jacobsen: What realistic alternatives to Chinese manufacturing exist in the near term?
Felder: In the near term, the most realistic alternative for Chinese manufacturing in apparel is other Asian countries. The fabric supply chain from China is so specialized and dominant that the best thing to do currently is to ship fabric from China to other countries for production. The manufacturing base for the specialized fabrics doesn’t exist in most of these countries, so in the near term, that is the best solution to avoid product disruptions.
Jacobsen: From an e-commerce perspective, how might tariffs reshape consumer expectations around pricing and delivery?
Felder: Goods that were shipped directly from China under the de minimis policy, which allowed for orders under $800 to be imported duty-free, have ended. This will cause an immediate increase in price for products from companies like Shein and Temu. I think in the medium to long term, this is a good thing for our market. It prevents foreign companies from avoiding taxes that US-based companies have to pay. Higher prices in the short term will hurt customers. Hopefully, a positive aspect of this will be that there will be more demand for higher quality goods and less need for fast fashion and the high consumption attitude these cheap goods have created.
Jacobsen: What would be a practical and sustainable path to domestic production for the US?
Felder: High-value goods would be the first type of product to be domestically produced in the US. Investors will invest in things that create the highest return. The capital required for a manufacturing facility is extremely high and investors will demand a return on that investment. If there is a stable policy in place ,it will give investors more confidence to make that investment. With the current uncertainty, very few people or businesses will be incentivized to make these large, long-term investments because there is little confidence that the policy won’t change making the investment a poor decision.
Jacobsen: How are the tariffs influencing decisions in the retail and apparel sectors?
Felder: Tariffs are impacting where companies are planning and sourcing their goods from. Apparel is such a price-sensitive industry and companies will be forced to move production based on tariffs impacts on cost.
Jacobsen: How are policymakers or industry groups effectuating changes or relief measures?
Felder: There has been little to no relief for companies. The 90-day pause gave companies some time to plan and adjust but the uncertainty of what is going to happen in the future is making it difficult for definitive decisions to be made.
Jacobsen: Are the tariffs in retail and fashion going to be here for the short term or the long term?
Felder: It seems like the Trump administration is signaling tariffs will be here for the long term but they claim to be open to negotiated trade deals. Their objective isn’t clear on what they want out of these deals but there is hope that the tariffs will be lowered. It does seem that we will be at a higher level than prior to the tariff increase but it might be less impactful than what has been discussed over the past month.
Jacobsen: Thank you for the opportunity and your time, Robert.
