Anthropologie Elevates Maeve in Rare Retail Brand
Launch
Anthropologie is spinning off its Maeve product line as a
standalone brand, a rare move in a retail sector where
brand extensions have become less common.
The decision reflects shifting strategies among specialty
retailers as they work to adapt to changes in women's
fast-fashion and evolving consumer behavior.
Maeve, known for its blend of classic silhouettes and
modern flourishes, will now operate independently with
dedicated storefronts and separate digital channels,
including new social media accounts and editorial content
platforms, according to a Monday (Aug. 4) press release.
The brand is inclusive, spanning plus, petite, tall and
adaptive options, which broaden its reach as the industry
contends with demands for representation.
Maeve has nearly 2 million customers and was the
most-searched brand on the Anthropologie website over
the past year, the release said. It is also a driver of
TikTok engagement. Several of the company's most
"hearted" items online are already from the Maeve label.
"Maeve has emerged as a true driver of growth within
Anthropologie's portfolio," Anu Narayanan, president of
women's and home at Anthropologie Group, said in the
release. "Its consistent performance, combined with our
customers' emotional connection to the brand, made this
the right moment to evolve Maeve into a standalone
identity."
While many retailers have retreated from new brand
creation, opting instead to consolidate or focus on core
labels, Anthropologie's move suggests confidence in
cultivating sizable, engaged consumer communities
around sub-brands.
Anthropologie is backing Maeve's standalone debut with
a comprehensive marketing campaign, including
influencer-driven content, a new Substack, a launch
event in New York, and a charitable partnership, per the
release. The first Maeve brick-and-mortar store is set to
open in Raleigh, North Carolina, in the fall.
The move comes as the apparel sector in the United
States sees shoppers valuing not just price and selection,
but brand story, inclusivity and digital experience. While
the outcome remains to be seen, Anthropologie's gamble
on Maeve reflects a belief that consumers remain eager
to embrace distinctive, thoughtfully curated fashion.

Read the following news excerpt to answer question.
China has recently introduced artificial intelligence (AI) education in primary and secondary schools
in Beijing. Beginning this semester, students as young as six will receive at least eight hours of AI
instruction per year, including training on chatbots, AI ethics, and general technological knowledge.
According to the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, these courses may be integrated with
information technology or science, and they form part of a long-term plan to build a national AI
curriculum. The initiative follows the global success of DeepSeek, whose founder Liang Wenfeng
graduated from Zhejiang University, and reflects China’s ambition to strengthen its role in the “AI
wars.”
Internationally, other countries are also investing in AI education. Estonia, for example, announced a
partnership with OpenAI to provide ChatGPT Edu for students and teachers in secondary education,
while similar programs are emerging in England, Canada, South Korea, and the United States. As
Estonian President Alar Karis stated, education systems must adapt because “artificial intelligence has

New Technologies in the English Language Classroom
The integration of cutting-edge technologies into English language pedagogy has profoundly transformed traditional
instructional paradigms. Digital tools such as language-learning apps, interactive whiteboards, and AI-driven writing assistants have
facilitated a multimodal learning environment that enhances linguistic acquisition through immediate feedback, gamified tasks, and
adaptive content delivery. These technologies foster learner autonomy and accommodate diverse learning styles, thereby mitigating
the one-size-fits-all limitations of conventional classrooms. Moreover, virtual and augmented reality platforms offer immersive
experiences that simulate authentic linguistic contexts, catalyzing communicative competence and cultural awareness in ways
previously unattainable.
Nonetheless, the pedagogical efficacy of such technologies hinges on their judicious implementation. Teachers must cultivate
digital literacy and pedagogical adaptability to curate meaningful interactions that transcend superficial engagement. The risk of
cognitive overload and techno-centrism necessitates a balanced approach, wherein technology functions as a scaffold rather than a
surrogate for effective teaching. As Warschauer (2013) argues, the goal should not be to merely digitize instruction but to
reconceptualize the classroom as a dynamic ecosystem where technology amplifies, rather than replaces, human-centered learning.

In the Digital Era, OurDictionaries Read Us
Merriam-Webster
Peter Sokolowski, editor at large at Merriam-Webster Inc.
By Jennifer Howard MARCH 11, 2013
Merriam-Webster
Peter Sokolowski, editor at large at Merriam-Webster Inc.
For Peter Sokolowski, a high-profile event like the 9/11 attacks or the 2012 vice-presidential debate is not just news. It's a
“vocabulary event” that sends readers racing to their dictionaries.
Sokolowski is editor at large for Merriam-Webster, whose red-and-blue-jacketed Collegiate Dictionary still sits on the desk
of many a student and editor. In a print-only era, it would have been next to impossible for him to track vocabulary events. Samuel
Johnson, the grand old man of the modern dictionary, “could have spent a week or a month writing a given word's definition and could
never have known if anyone read it”, he says.
Today, Sokolowski can and does monitor what visitors to the Merriam-Webster Web site look up—as they're doing it.
With the spread of digital technologies, dictionaries have become a two-way mirror, a record not just of words' meanings but
of what we want to know. Digital dictionaries read us.
The days of displaying a thick Webster's in the parlor may be past, but dictionaries inhabit our daily lives more than we realize.
"There are many more times during a day that you are interacting with a dictionary" now than ever before, says Katherine Connor
Martin, head of U.S. dictionaries for Oxford University Press. Whenever you send a text or an e-mail, or read an e-book on your Nook,
Kindle, or iPad, a dictionary is at your fingertips, whether or not you're aware of it.
For dictionary makers, going electronic opens up all kinds of possibilities. It's not just that digital dictionaries can be
embedded in the operating systems of computers and e-readers so that they're always at hand. They can be updated far more easily and
often than their print cousins, and they can incorporate material like audio pronunciations and thesauruses. Unsuccessful word "lookups," or searches that don't produce satisfying results, can point lexicographers to terms that haven't yet made their way into a particular
dictionary or whose definitions need to be amended or freshened. Online readers can click a button and contribute their own word lore,
extending a tradition that dates back at least as far as the late 19th century, when James Murray and his team compiled the first Oxford
English Dictionary with the help of thousands of word slips sent in by the public.
Source: < https://www.chronicle.com/article/In-the-Digital-Era-Our/137719> Access on 30 April, 2018.Adapted.
What does the text suggest about the role of unsuccessful word look-ups in digital dictionaries?

Sokolowski is editor at large for Merriam-Webster, whose red-and-blue-jacketed Collegiate Dictionary still sits on the desk
of many a student and editor. In a print-only era, it would have been next to impossible for him to track vocabulary events. Samuel
Johnson, the grand old man of the modern dictionary, “could have spent a week or a month writing a given word's definition and could
never have known if anyone read it”, he says.
Today, Sokolowski can and does monitor what visitors to the Merriam-Webster Web site look up—as they're doing it.
With the spread of digital technologies, dictionaries have become a two-way mirror, a record not just of words' meanings but
of what we want to know. Digital dictionaries read us.
The days of displaying a thick Webster's in the parlor may be past, but dictionaries inhabit our daily lives more than we realize.
"There are many more times during a day that you are interacting with a dictionary" now than ever before, says Katherine Connor
Martin, head of U.S. dictionaries for Oxford University Press. Whenever you send a text or an e-mail, or read an e-book on your Nook,
Kindle, or iPad, a dictionary is at your fingertips, whether or not you're aware of it.
For dictionary makers, going electronic opens up all kinds of possibilities. It's not just that digital dictionaries can be
embedded in the operating systems of computers and e-readers so that they're always at hand. They can be updated far more easily and
often than their print cousins, and they can incorporate material like audio pronunciations and thesauruses. Unsuccessful word "lookups," or searches that don't produce satisfying results, can point lexicographers to terms that haven't yet made their way into a particular
dictionary or whose definitions need to be amended or freshened. Online readers can click a button and contribute their own word lore,
extending a tradition that dates back at least as far as the late 19th century, when James Murray and his team compiled the first Oxford
English Dictionary with the help of thousands of word slips sent in by the public.
