MINK OFFERING INCREASES BY 20% AT NAFA

NAFA has announced the preliminary sale offering for 2012 and highlighted the news of a 20% increase in the number of mink pelts to be auctioned. A record total of approximately 6.1 million mink are to be sold with 3.3 million set for February and the remaining 2.8 million in May, 2012.

NAFA’s President and CEO, Michael Mengar, attributes the majority of gain to an increase in market share. “There are a number of factors for more farmers choosing to ship their pelts to NAFA.” He offered further insight:

nAfA offers a high level of professional services to producers as well as buyers. nAfA fur graders are the most experienced in the industry. Management and staff are knowledgeable and always available to assist with individual needs.

the quality and integrity of the nAfA mink assortment assures the producer that his pelts will be expertly handled from receiving through cataloguing to shipping. thus, buyers are also assured that their purchases will be very properly graded.

nAfA’s internationally acclaimed marketing program recognizes and promotes the finest quality of furs in all major markets. Mr. Mengar noted, “the success of the black nAfA Limited Edition Collection and future potential for this program for both producers and buyers led several producers of very fine quality black mink from nova scotia to make a change to nAfA. At the same time, we have several high end retailers requesting to become a part of nAfA’s promotional campaign.”

There will also be a significant increase in the number of mink from Europe. NAFA’s efforts in Europe have been concentrated on collecting the highest quality mink. This increased quantity will enable us to offer European mink in larger, more attractive strings. The NAFA Velvet label that represents the majority of mink in this collection gives buyers the added advantage of the NAFA name in brand marketing.

In closing, Mr. Mengar said that he and the entire NAFA family look forward to welcoming buyers to the newly renovated facilities in Toronto this New Year. “The Year of the Dragon is said to offer excitement and exhilaration but the year is often unpredictable. This certainly reflects our thoughts on the fur trade for 2012. The Dragon also represents success for those who work hard and are well prepared. That being the case, at NAFA we are looking forward to another successful year for all!”

MINK OFFERING INCREASES BY 20% AT NAFA nAFA水貂供货总量增长20%

nAFA已经宣布2012年度毛皮供货总量,而且今年的最亮点就是本年度水貂总量增长20%的消息。 2012年度水貂总量预计达到6百60万,届时2012年2月份拍卖会将达到3百30万,5月拍卖会将达到2百80万。

nAFA总裁兼首席执行官麦克·曼格将大部分的原因解释为市场份额的上升。“有一些原因是促使更多的农

场主选择将毛皮通过nAFA进行拍卖。”对此,他进一步解释说:

nAFA向我们的毛皮生产者以及买家提供非常专业的服务。nAFA毛皮分皮师是业界经验最丰富的。

管理层和员工知识也非常丰富,时刻为客户提供帮助。

nAFA水貂分皮的质量和一致性向农场主保证他们的毛皮从到货到编成目录到运货都会得到专家级的处

理。因此,买家们也可以得到保证:他们购买到的毛皮是准确分皮以后的结果。

nAFA受到国际毛皮界普遍好评的推广计划的使命就是使全球市场认可并且推广最优质的毛皮。曼格先

生解释说:“Black nAFA限量版以及这个项目对农场主和买家带来的未来推广潜力使一些来自 nova

scotia 农场主放弃了他们原来的拍卖公司,开始通过nAFA进行拍卖。与此同时,我们还有一些非常高档

次的零售商也要求加入nAFA推广活动。”

来自于欧洲的水貂总量也有相当的增长。nAFA努力在欧洲吸引最优质的水貂。 数量的增长将使我们能够

向买家提供令他们更加感兴趣的毛皮把数。nAFA天鹅绒商标代表了这些系列的大部分水貂,将使买家在

品牌推广中加入nAFA的品牌优势。

在采访即将结束的时候,曼格先生说, 他和整个nAFA大家庭热切盼望着买家能够来到我们今年刚刚装修

完毕的多伦多总部大楼。“龙年据说经常会带来很多的精彩和兴奋,但是往往难以预测。这相当程度上来说

反映出我们裘皮界对于2012的感觉。龙,对那些努力工作,时刻准备的人们来说,则象征着成功。如果的确

是这样的话,nAFA祝愿所有的朋友能够再次获得成功的一年!”

The invitation invited guests to “Midnight Magic” and the opportunity to experience the magic and mystery of the latest designer fur collections for 2011/2012

As the many media groups of fashion editors, television crews, and newspaper photographers descended upon the show site, they stopped short of entering to capture the images and ambiance of this night that promised to be magical.

Upon entering the hall, the wonderment of the evening began to unfold. A starlight effect captivated the crowd and there was a buzz about how fashionable fur was and NAFA’s leading position in China. Fashion TV was on the spot for interviews and paparazzi cameras flashed incessantly.

Following the cocktail reception and sumptuous buffet, Diane Benedetti, NAFA’s Sr. VP of Advertising & Promotion, officially welcomed the many VIP guests including Gregg Dolinsky, Sr. VP of NAFA and a delegation of US and Canadian mink ranchers as well as Ms. Josiane Simon, Sr. Trade Commissioner from the Canadian Embassy. Also present were Zhang Zhi Feng and David Ubl who had highlights of their collections featured in the show.

Twelve clock chimes marked the start of the show and the NAFA Northern Raccoon collection of David Ubl exploded on to the catwalk. Leading international designers joined the fashion parade with a fabulous array of natural and dyed mink, fox and wild furs. Included were Gianfranco Ferre, Michael Kors, Zac Posen, Guy Laroche, Prabal Gurung, Sherry Cassin, Dennis Basso and Bibhu Mohapatra. Cadano, one of Hong Kong’s premiere furriers, offered a special showing of NAFA Mink.

The finale left everyone in awe as models paraded down the catwalk in haute couture designs in Black NAFA. The 2011/12 NAFA signature piece created by NE Tiger served as a fitting close for the show. The stunning embroidery adorning a floor-sweeping gown of Black NAFA depicted a fable in Chinese mythology bestowing a mystical touch.

As the guests departed in awe of the stunning furs they had just seen, the internet was already buzzing with photos and praise for the show. The following day, Fashion TV was running a high-powered clip of the show. Fashion magazines followed up with editorials on the event. NAFA’s magical night in Beijing became magical months for many throughout China.

The Jing Yuan Art Center in the trendy Image Base Complex in Beijing was the venue for NAFA’s annual media event held on September 20th.

NAFA is once again a proud sponsor of the China National Design Competition that is held each year in co-operation with China National Native Produce and Animal By-Products Imp. & Exp. Corp. This exciting event has come to be known as the NAFA Cup and will culminate at the Beijing Fur & Leather Fair in January 2012.

Prior to the semi-finalist selection, Lumin Yao, China Marketing Director at NAFA, traveled to four major universities to present an introduction to the many types of fur pelts available at NAFA and those that would be used in the competition.

On November 10, Ms. Yao joined Sherry Li, Ms. Lu Yue, Ms. Diao Mei, Ms. Feng Yue Fei, Ms. Bai Zheng Xia and Mr. Scott Wang for the daunting task of reviewing all of the sketches received and designating the 20 out of the 1,000 that would be produced for the final competition.

On November 19, these 20 students gathered in Beijing to meet with Huasi Fur Industrial Group, Yuanlong Fur and Yinshan Fur who had graciously donated their services to manufacture the garments. Details of each sketch were discussed and final decisions made on the furs to be used.

The garments of these 20 semi-finalists will be featured as a preview to the gala show at the Beijing International Fur & Leather Fair and three finalists selected by an international judging panel. The winners will receive an all expense paid trip to Toronto, Canada and the opportunity to participate in a special session of a Studio NAFA creative workshop.

NAFA is a sponsor as well of student design competitions in Korea, Greece, Hong Kong and the USA. Finalists from these competitions will also enjoy travel to Canada and the Studio NAFA experience.

NAFA NORTHERN LIGHTS COLLECTION RETURNS TO BEIJING STAGE nAFA noRtHeRn LIGHts 系列重返北京舞台

The first collection of Northern Lights debuted at the Beijing Fur & Leather Fair in 2010. This collection was created in response to consumer demand for fur garments and accessories that were reflective of a young and fashion savvy lifestyle. The goal was to offer the fun and luxury of fur to a young consumer at an affordable price.This was a catalyst for many designers and fur manufacturers to create a collection that stepped away from the more traditional looks of fur by using color, style and a mix of fur species and fabrics. The Northern Lights concept had universal appeal and was embraced worldwide.

For 2012, NAFA has once again worked closely with young designers in Europe, North America and Asia to offer an inspirational collection featuring NAFA Northern wild furs. Coyote, Raccoon, Beaver, Red and Grey Fox and Muskrat are highlighted in the new designs that will be presented at this year’s Beijing Fur & Leather Fair.

Diane Benedetti, Sr. Vice President for NAFA’s marketing and promotional program, explained the success of the Northern Lights project was due to the versatility and price structure of many of NAFA’s wild fur species.

“Leading international designers love to work with our NAFA Northern wild furs but the luxury end - Sable, Fisher and Lynx Cat - and even our very popular Beavers and Raccoons, when combined with the precious fabrics and accents at the designer level, made most garments out of the reach of the young consumer. The Northern Lights project brought together our fabulous fun furs with designs and manufacturing techniques to make fur fresh, exciting and very affordable.”

Ms. Benedetti went on to note that NAFA is very committed to future generations both in terms of environmental issues as well as lifestyle needs. The mission statement of the Northern Lights project simply states: “Fur is our legacy and our future. To live in harmony with nature is our responsibility ...to make it exciting is our goal.”

The new Northern Lights brochure will be available at the NAFA February sale. Highlights can be viewed on the official NAFA website, www.nafa.ca.

NAFA NORTHERN LIGHTS COLLECTION RETURNS TO BEIJING STAGE nAFA noRtHeRn LIGHts 系列重返北京舞台

northern Lights的第一组服装于2010年北京交易会首次亮相。 当时推出这个系列的服装是为了满足那些希望能够获得更加充满青春时尚气息的裘皮服装和配饰的消费者的需求。而目标就是希望年轻的消费者在他们能够承受的价位上,享受裘皮带来的乐趣和豪华。

这个举措促使很多设计师以及裘皮厂家开始设计新的服装系列。新的系列在色泽,款式以及将裘皮和其它面料相结合方面都和传统方式有所不同。northern Lights的理念有着广泛的吸引力,被全世界所接受。

2012年,nAFA再次和来自欧洲,北美以及亚洲的年轻设计师紧密合作,采用nAFA northern系列野生毛皮,设计出充满灵感的服装系列。郊狼,浣熊,海狸,红狐和灰狐将成为这些最新设计的主要亮点,并且将在今年的北京交易会上亮相。

负责nAFA营销推广的高级副总裁戴安萍女士解释说, northern Lights 的成功主要是由于nAFA种类丰富的野生毛皮以及这些毛皮的价位。“国际知名设计师非常喜欢使用nAFA northern野生毛皮,但是更多的是非常奢华的毛皮-紫貂,渔貂,猞猁猫-甚至是我们常见的海狸,浣熊,当把这些毛皮和一些贵重的面料和配饰相结合,加上这些设计师的盛名,这些服装基本就远离了那些年轻的消费者。northern Lights项目是将豪华的,充满乐趣的毛皮结合设计和制作工艺,使毛皮呈现出更加清新,令人兴奋的感觉,而且在可以承受的价位上。”

戴安萍女士继续评论说,nAFA从环境保护以及生活方式等方面对年轻一代都是非常尽心尽力。northern Lights项目的宣言就是:“毛皮是传承,毛皮是未来。和大自然和平共处是我们的职责... 而使其更加精彩使我们的目标!”

northern Lights最新手册将在nAFA二月拍卖会上提供。 精彩亮点,请查阅nAFA官方网站: www.nafa.ca。

GUIFUREN FUR SQUARE ROCKS HARBIN 贵夫人皮草广场震撼哈尔滨

The Heilongjiang television station was the venue once again for Guifuren Fur Square’s annual winter extravaganza fur festival in Harbin, China. Over 1,600 people gathered for the special event held on November 8, 2011, in Asia’s largest television sound studio.

This yearly gala has grown in both size and status each year with an extended television viewership of over 15 million people. Four television channels in the province of Heilongjiang will air the show several times over the course of the winter

season in prime time spots, beaming the program into the adjacent provinces of Liaoning and Jilin.

This area is often referred to as the “golden triangle” of China’s retail fur industry with estimates of 250,000 to 500,000 fur garments being sold annually. NAFA has been active in northeast China since the early 1990’s and the NAFA brand is the most recognized label by fur consumers.

Guifuren’s evening of entertainment exploded with highly choreographed dance routines and high-energy performances by Hong Kong, Taiwanese and mainland pop stars. NAFA joined in the celebration with four scenes intermingled with the celebrity entertainment.

From the fabulous collection of chic NAFA Mink coats to the fun and sensual looks in NAFA Fox and NAFA Northern wild furs, the audience showed pleasure throughout with applause indicating their favorites. The breath-taking finale of models floating down the glitter strewn catwalk in Black NAFA mink to join Hong Kong star Wakin Chau for his finale song “The Heart of the Flower” left many saying the show ended all too quickly.

In 2011, editors from China, Russia and Korea traveled to Toronto to create a fur fashion editorial for their magazine.

This year, the China Elle photo session with NAFA resulted in special recognition by “Fashion Gone Rogue”. This is an online magazine in which industry professionals review and comment on what is the latest and trendiest in fashion and talent.

The editorial, entitled “The Ice Queen” was photographed by Chris Nicolls and styled by Hubert Chen. Supermodel Tara Gill was the epitome of this icy queen depicting luxury and sensuality that is unattainable by a mere commoner.

The outstanding Black NAFA and luxury NAFA Northern furs added to the mystery and intrigue of the shoot. The images tell the story best.

JUSTNAFA 15

为了继续能够为客户提供最优质服务,nAFA中国市场工作小组最近增加了一名新成员,汪思杨在基本完成

北京物资大学的本科学习之后,于11月正式加入nAFA。

汪思杨曾经于2010年度和2011年度的签证期间为nAFA工作。她已经成为今年签证工作非常重要的一个组

成部分。

汪思杨将立足北京,与中国市场总监姚路敏以及胡肖龙和姜涛紧密合作。nAFA所有代理都将协助客户申请

加拿大签证,并且提供基本情况的咨询。

On January 15, 2011, the Canadian Embassy revised its visa application forms. The new forms require more personal details about the applicant and are stricter in the presentation of the forms. These new changes have resulted in longer preparation time for the NAFA team to help customers apply for their Canadian visas.

Ms. Lumin Yao, Marketing Director of China, advised, “The new forms adopt more high tech applications into the whole process. There is a bar code page in the main application form that requires all the information in this document to be completed accurately prior to the applicant signing the bar code page. The family forms must be in data format and can no longer be handwritten. On a positive note, the Canadian government has recognized the busy schedules of many applicants and have begun to issue visas with longer validity periods for those with a travel history to Canada as well as those who provide extensive documentation.”

Ms. Yao emphasized that, as in previous years, the NAFA team will work diligently to support customers with their visa applications. By closely monitoring updates and workloads, they provide a more efficient means to meet the new requirements.

In a continued effort to give buyers the best service possible, NAFA has announced the addition of another agent to the China marketing team. Ms. Si Yang Wang officially joined NAFA in November following the completion of her bachelor degree at Beijing’s Wuzi University.

Ms. Wang has previous experience with NAFA through her work on Canadian visa applications for the 2010 and 2011 auction seasons. She has been an integral part in this season’s work as well.

Based in Beijing, Ms. Wang works closely with Lumin Yao, Marketing Director for China, along with Dragon Hu and Gianni Jiang. All of NAFA’s agents are available to assist buyers with visa applications and general marketing information.

从2011年1月15日开始,加拿大大使馆更新了其签证申请表格。新表格对申请人的个人信息要求更加具体,同

时对于表格的准备要求也更加严格。这些新变化都使nAFA小组需要更多的时间来准备客户的签证申请材料。

nAFA中国事务总监姚路敏女士介绍说:“在整个申请过程中,新表格结合了更多的科技因素。比如说,申请

主表现在结合了条形码, 这要求我们在填写表格的时候,必须要把申请人的所有信息全部准确无误地填写

完毕,然后才能打印出条形码一页,客户才可以签字。家庭表现在也要求必须电脑打印,不再接受手写的表格。

但是,对广大客户来说,一个非常好的消息就是,加拿大政府已经认识到我们客户行程经常非常繁忙,因此

他们对那些曾经去过加拿大的客户或者是准备材料非常充分的第一次申请人开始签发有效期更长的签证。“

姚路敏强调,nAFA工作小组将一如既往地努力为客户的签证申请提供帮助。通过不断地关注使馆的最新进

展,采用更加有效的方式,在满足使馆最新要求的基础上继续为客户提供更好的服务。
