When initiating an internationalisation strategy, fashion retailers should reflect upon the congruence of their product ranges and brand images within the context of the prevalent cultural and trading conditions of foreign markets. This paper examines two recognized multinational fashion companies: the Swedish company H&M and the Spanish company Inditex. It compares them to the Slovenian retailing company Mercator - a fashion house, which is already entering the markets in South Eastern Europe.
