Gold Struck From the Ultimate Gold Fashion Show in Cannes

  The most coveted ticket this year in Cannes was a gold. 20th amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala held 23 May 2013 and the first time a sponsor has love gold. The result was absolutely beautiful.

Karachista: Pakistan Fashion Council responds to his critics

  Pakistan Fashion Council under fire recently with the former CEO Amir Adnan you come to PFDC and unfavorable comparisons between Pakistan Fashion Week (DFP) and PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week (PSFW). Thus, designers of FPC disappointed and the board is a spent force? Nothing could be further from the truth.

The self-same designers from Karachi helped confirm such a success this year, show that they have a very positive experience DFP PSFW. Shamaeel Ansari says it's ridiculous that people talk about the disappearance of the board. "You look over the years, all of our events," Ansari said. "In April last year, our fashion week was by far the strongest of the season., It is business logic for our members who have already shown, to go [Karachi], Lahore at this time and we have to be promoted." Designer Nida Azwer and Shehla Chatoor confirmed that they FPW shown if it was not so close to PSFW.

"From an economic perspective, it is very important to show in Lahore and Karachi," says Umair Tabani Sania Maskatiya. "They're both huge target markets."

With Karachi as a separate division FPC is the natural choice for the shows in Karachi. Expect things to different fashion weeks in Lahore and Karachi, because they always reflect the ethos of the city. After all, New York Fashion Week is very different from the London Fashion Week.

    Models with Maheen Khan, Deepak Perwani, Shehla Chatoor to FPW4

This time FPC suffered because of the unstable security situation in Karachi. Despite this connection FPC established a very worthy event, which was covered by the Wall Street Journal and Vogue India. The partnership with the TV humming provides excellent coverage for designers in Pakistan. In addition, FPC connection with the Model 360 Tags e-shop open international markets for designers who showed up for DFP.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that the line-up this time FPW was not as good as it should have been. Designer Maheen Khan admits that editing the content was close DFP and maybe some were not ready for the ramp from which selected. But how Ansari said there is a learning curve for new designers and even good designers curve sometimes fall flat on their faces in the fashion weeks. It is necessary to talented new designers the opportunity platforms upscale and grown some not necessarily the situation. However, you will learn the process and come back stronger when they are really talented. There is some truth in this observation of Ansari, but the FPC has a better balance between new talent and established designers.

Both Khan Ansari and insist they have very cordial relations with Sehyr Saigol and we look forward to working with PFDC any time. They encourage their members to be members PFDC PFDC and welcome to show their events. They even suggested that the two boards work together to fashion weeks, one in Karachi and Lahore to promote - each other's logistical and other support.

"It's time to stop this little comparison Lahore-Karachi," says Maheen Khan. "We need to think nationally as an industry we are a nation, and I feel the division ratios are detrimental to the industry as a whole.." She also said: "FPC has always primarily concerned the fashion industry."

FPC probably work hard for its members in this regard. Twice a year, it takes quotas designers for a show at Club Panglian in Singapore, which helped many of its members, has to develop a client base in Singapore. He worked with the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan send the members in Pakistan Expo in New Delhi. Likewise, the Council has also worked with the Pakistan Fashion Week in London, receive preferential rates for the designers to participate.

In recent years, Ansari reorganized and properly structured business and legal side of the Council. Up to a stellar generation of designers is mature. Designers like Nida Azwer and Sania Maskatiya have immense affection and commitment to CPD.

"I had a lot of support from the Board and we learned a lot from them," says designer Maheen Karim. Ansari she reveals confirmations Tabani Chatoor Karim and they are extended members of the Board of Directors for the next event. This new generation has the potential to add new capabilities that complement those of the original team. The future looks very promising for FPC.

Fashion victim: Salt Lake City stylist goes to New York Fashion Week in coma

  Beyonce Knowles-Carter was the godfather of the rehabilitation center, and everyone who worked there was Thai. The design was inspired by totems. It was Vancouver, probably.

"No one but me - and I was - to notice that all melt slowly on the walls seemed," says Nikki Breedlove "I could not move, and I observe, think." They will - Oh, they were OK, since is the next. ".

Then a vague sense of reality and a strong dose of propofol colored her dreams coma, found friends and family Breedlove himself. Within a nightmare

She was not in Vancouver. Landis Lifestyle Salon stylist was on the opposite side of the New York Fashion Week in February, and she was hit by a car if you are in a crosswalk Manhattan on the first evening of his long, strange trip.

Breedlove suffered a severe head injury. Doctors had to remove part of his skull to relieve pressure on his brain swelling. His left leg was mutilated - with three fractures of the ankle to the knee, and four other breaks. Her pelvis was broken in three places. Ribs were broken, his lung collapsed, and she was bleeding internally.

It was impossible to tell whether they will ever see the rehabilitation of Tomahawk.

-

Catwalk meets crosswalk • The Big Apple is not the preferred site of Nikki Breedlove, and on a cold, cloudy night, as Wednesday, 6 February, this was particularly true.

"It is God awful cold," Breedlove said a 32-year-old native of Salt Lake City. "You go down a road and you are fine and then press the side street and it's like a wind tunnel coming at you. Individuals tend to their faces to go down and have their coats and where to go."

A stylist career - 14 years, Breedlove said they work part-time as a makeup artist at Nordstrom began - it was unusually nervous for a training run on mannequins plat with his idol, Aveda Beenders of Creative Director Antoinette. She tried to relax with a light dinner and a few drinks in Dudley on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

From there it becomes a blur.

Breedlove, the seating of his friends - two colleagues Landis, fast and Logan Mitch Allen, and a former colleague Kristian Kanika. She remembers the images, a blue design on white broken slate tiles bathroom, which struck the eye. After Vancouver.

Friends say she left around 11:45 clock on Dudley to grab a slice of pizza and retire for the night at a friend's house in Tribeca. Breedlove then called his mother, his enthusiasm for the work that she was with great designers like Kate Spade and Christian Siriano share hemmed. At the end of the seven-minute call, Breedlove said she needed to get off the phone focus.

Art Museums shouting for fashion

  Fashion Gallery as a forage cap interest in recent years. If his Alexander McQueen kept the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York: Savage Beauty Show in 2011, it broke all records for a fashion show in the history of the museum, visited by more than 650,000 people. Closer to home, Bendigo Art Gallery, Victoria had 152,000 people visit the Grace Kelly: Style Icon exhibition last year, setting a national reference point for a regional gallery in the process.

It seems that the public fascination with what we wear - and was - shows no signs of slowing down. And that comes with its own problems and joys of the world from the gallery.

National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne has one of the largest fashion collections in the southern hemisphere, including Australian and international collections, what the latest clothes from the 18th And accessories from the 17th century Century through the current day. He has also textiles dating from the 6th Century.

Roger Leong, Curator of the fashion and textile industry NGV International, said the gallery has the most active fashion and textiles exhibition program in Australia, having performed 30 shows in the 11 years since the gallery opened in public after an extensive renovation.
Digital Pass $ 1 for 28 days

While Leong admits that it shows a great interest in fashion today, he said that what has been built for some time. "I've been in the business of the Museum 20-odd years now and I think that going on the popularity of fashion shows right in the 1980s and early 1990s," says Leong.

"The leaders were really the Victoria & Albert Museum (London) and the Metropolitan Museum. The big difference I found today that the media is no longer lit at fashion shows that maybe they were. I think this is the part because the media glow for fashion in general fashion so permeates many levels of popular culture and the media. - And the fame thing and -., it's everywhere "

Mode can be anywhere, but the acquisition of these blocks for a collection is always difficult. Paola Di Trocchio, Assistant Curator of the international textile and fashion CNG, introduces a number of new players in the field of the gallery / museum to help raise prices and reduce the availability of vintage designs. Called the Fashion Museum in Santiago, the billionaire collector Chilean Jorge Yarur in 2007 to life, Museo del Costume in Madrid in 2004 and Mude Design and Fashion Museum of Lisbon, which are open reopened in 2009 after renovation active player in this increasingly competitive field.

Tue Trocchio added: "Sometimes we have to design houses themselves, save their own archives to compete."

For example, Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent Foundation is strong buys vintage Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture, the Balenciaga Museum in Spain is doing the same for parts of Cristobal Balenciaga, as the house of Christian Dior for their own archives.

Leong said that the Algerian-French designer Azzedine Alaia was "intense competition" for part of the creative Madeleine Vionnet, the collector Daphne Guinness is was known that large quantities of products to buy, including all the collection of the late editor of the British fashion Isabella Blow.

"The other important thing that happened in vogue in the last 10 years, the highest popularity in vintage fashion," says Leong. "Now we are in competition with Hollywood stars at some of the best Valentino and Versace or Yves Saint Laurent -., The real show stopper, we also like Hollywood stars"

Given the increase in prices in parts of vintage collectible designers of note, and the fact that the majority of the galleries and museums of the Australian states, have to do their acquisition financing need to develop collections in the resources and philanthropic donations, or on the generosity of dependent legacies to feed their ever-hungry collections and continue to create world-class exhibitions.

Italian heritage jewelry house Bulgari has become such a benefactor CNG announcement last month Financing Program Bulgari, specially designed to finance the purchase of products for the international collection, with an emphasis on the years 1950 to 1990.

"It's great for the collection is that there is a good amount of money Bulgari gave us and promised to increase for us in the next two to three years, and that will have a huge impact the collection, because if we wisely buy, we can get some really important parts, "says Leong.

"The only kind of condition was that the parts they need to be glamorous. - And we have no problem with it"

Julie Ann Morrison, CEO of Bulgari Australia and the UK, said: "The NGV would be important examples of the best designers who can be glamorous acquire, but also has important because they represent the best examples of a particular style or period.

"Our philosophy is to leave the choice of acquisitions CNG conservation expertise and we are with the pieces they have learned so far, very satisfied."

The new funding has pieces created with the acquisition of key competences by a trio of French designers to life: a cream jacket and dress by circular Pierre Cardin in 1969, a cotton print dress by Claude Montana in 1980, and a red sponge section dress by French designer Thierry Mugler in 1981.

Bulgari began his interest in acquisitions of CNG when he helped the gallery to buy a velvet cloak around 1920 by the Italian designer Mariano Fortuny, which was acquired in 2011.

The date of a garment is not necessarily what determines its value. For example, the recent purchase of CNG a Chanel evening dress 1924 with beads. Although Leong any conclusions on the purchase price, he said he "was very reasonable for what it is."

Conversely, the famous "Model T Ford" dress of the year 1926, to support the concept of the little black dress would be introduced throughout the day, be much more expensive when it came on the market. "The thing with the Model T Ford Chanel dress is that it was rather one days dress, and they are the ones that people wore to death. They are as rare as hen teeth. If a they came to the auction would not be surprised when he went to be not less than $ 100,000. "

Tue Trocchio added: "And you would compete with the world for them."

The basic principle of the team is to add a piece to the NGV collection in the election that "there by designers who have made a difference, must be designed," says Leong. "And we hope that we will choose this quintessence of this designer par excellence began a change at some point in time."

So what is Leong hopes for the collection with the help of funding Bulgari add, since the timing and need for glamor?

First up, a colorful 1970s jersey dress by French designer Madame Grès. "Even if it worked since the 1930s, she had this sudden resurgence in the 1970s when they were still at the top of his game at the age of 70 or 80 years, and suddenly people like Jerry Hall and Marie Helvin were modelize clothing and incredibly sexy look.

"And in America, we are very keen to get something (1970 fashion brand) Halston, because of how much you can get glamorous Halston?"

Megan Gale talks fashion and social media with Marie Claire

  The cost of switching to Cannes, sat David Jones brand ambassador Megan Gale with Marie Claire to discuss the industry, social media, and of course the legendary Birthday David Jones.

David Jones today celebrates 175 years - what was your most memorable moment of the brand?

I think I will always remember my first show with David Jones and my last - they are always in my head for obvious reasons! Another highlight was the trips I had to make the company - we used to go away any time in amazing places. My favorite was Tahiti, this is a very special part of the world for me. In fact, I ended up staying for a once a month because it rained during our scheduled photo shoot. We had a lot of up days, then I'm all for extending the trip! I loved it.

You've had a long career in the modeling industry - What advice would you girls to give start? How do you manage to keep them happy and healthy?

I think we should be very clear about the reasons and objectives will be a model in the first place. If it's just in the interest of, famous or supposedly glamorous lifestyle, so do not do it.

If you really have a passion for the industry, you understand photographs and understand fashion, then this is the basis for a start.

But it's not all glamor and fun, it's also a lot of hard work. It means away from your family and your friends and your partner. There are many early departures and late arrivals! There are definitely advantages, but there are also disadvantages to the industry.

So I guess my main advice is to make sure that it is because it is something you want to do, and not things personally on the side of the inevitable rejection. It's a big task, but it is certainly not as easy as some girls might think it is. I think they see some high-end models and say, "I want to be her, I want her life," but they do not know what happens behind the scenes.
Their line of swimwear, Isola is stored at David Jones - what you have come for the brand?

We just sell the range on all the different distributors, and we are now at the point where we are in production - we produce the entire spectrum for delivery in July. We are also planning to shoot the campaign, it is actually a very busy time. Then in a month or two, we provide an overview of the 2014 collection look at the planning stage. Although it is winter and the idea of ​​swimwear is a little crazy right now, there is still much to do!
They are very active on social media channels such as Facebook - How Social Media has affected your career?

I think it is definitely a great tool to connect with people who are interested in what you do, and you want a little more know. It is also a good way to increase awareness of your brand, and for this reason alone it is very useful.

There is a downside, however, is what is natural for people to have direct access, which means they have the ability to say negative things or insulting or just generally bad.

It's pretty easy to laugh man and nature, but there were times when I completely unsolicited attacks from people on Twitter got block. Then you must consider where it comes from and how important it actually is.

But social media also gives a voice to have an opinion, and if there is something on you, especially if it is correct or not, one can properly deal with it on.
They have amazing skin - what's your best kept beauty secret?

Thank you! I really think your skin and outer appearance is a reflection of what is happening inside, so I think I look better when I'm well rested and drink enough water. Lack of stress contributes, as well as exercise and a balanced diet. It really is all in the lifestyle of a lot of time.

What would you say to David Jones on his 175th Birthday?

I want to say it was an absolute pleasure and an honor to be able to have in common the last 12 years with an iconic brand and company. I think that marriage is very successful and will continue to be successful in the future. I am sure that we will come to many more birthdays together!

introspection in the Spanish fashion Bangladesh After Death Factory

  Homegrown Spanish fashion brands such as Zara and Mango have some success in Spain in the middle of his agonizing depression. But now a number of fatal accidents in sewing factories in foreign countries cause a bit of introspection about the cost of looking good, especially at a time when clean textile industry of Spain was dug through imports and outsourcing, while the Spanish consumer to deplete increasingly to new afford clothes.

In the rubble of the collapsed building Rana Plaza in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where more than 1,100 workers in the garment industry, died last month, investigators found orders or clothing based in Barcelona Mango MNG Holding SL and Spanish chain El Corte Ingles SA. A Spaniard, David Mayor, whose location is unknown, listed in the register of the company as general manager of a factory Rana Plaza. Inditex SA, ITX.MC -1.83% owner of the Zara brand and the largest fashion retailers in the world, was a customer of the factory near Dhaka Export Smart, where seven people died in a fire in January.

Accidents caused investigate the cost of "fast fashion", a design trend of Spanish labels that run constantly, started to keep collections new styles on the shelves. This rapid turnaround strategy has helped Inditex to open a shop in a garage in 1960 to launch a global force, whose founder, Amancio Ortega, is today one of the richest men in the world.

Some Spanish union leaders say that the success of the Spanish style has done more for the shareholders of foreign companies and consumers and workers at home or abroad. "It's very simple: they attracted a large number of jobs to low-wage countries with lower labor costs and standards now you see accidents as a result," Montserrat López García de la Torre said, international relations secretary of the General Union of Workers of Spain.

The other side of the coin, it says, is five years economic crisis in Spain and the unemployment rate of 27%. The decline of the textile and clothing industry, where employment fell from 136,000 to 243,000 in 2004, followed by the larger problems of the country, Asian imports began to displace local production. From 2002 to 2011, about 7,000 textile companies or Spanish clothes, about 43% of the total population, have closed their doors, found a study of EAE Business School in Spain.

The worldwide success of fashion companies flagship Spain is a paradox. In the last ten years, Inditex global sales of almost € 16000000000 (20650000000 dollars) quadrupled in 2012. Meanwhile, the recession at home, the per capita expenditure on clothing Spaniards fell by 22% between 2007 and 2011, found the study of EAE Business School.

Some analysts argue that the fast-fashion purveyor should be the last people responsible for the economic malaise Spain or discomfort in the local textile industry. "Fast fashion is too close to produce highly dependent at home," said Angel Asensio, Head of the Spanish Association of clothing manufacturers. The idea, he said, is the time it takes to get the goods from the factory to reduce design centers, and distribution centers in Spain.

Inditex, for example, said that almost half of the total production from neighboring countries such as Spain and Portugal and Morocco comes. The number of employees increased by Inditex in Spain by 46% to 39,098 in the seven years to 2011, although most jobs in retail, logistics or administration, with only about 1,100 positions in plants of the company.

Inditex has 6,500 Spanish suppliers who have booked revenues of € 3 billion for the fashion giant last year.

About 6% of Inditex products from Bangladesh, a proportion that has not changed in recent years, the company said. About 4% of purchases in 2011 mango came from Bangladesh, compared to 0.64% in 2007, the company reported. Bangladesh produced "very simple products, low-cost apparel company in the world", not fast fashion, said Asensio.

Maybe. But Mahmudul Islam, Commercial Counsellor at the Embassy of Bangladesh in Madrid, said the Bangladesh is proud of the fact that it moves, the value chain and turning to more sophisticated denim and knitted products including jeans style for Trafaluc based online youth Zara.

Plant security experts say companies should weigh sensitive than can lead the fast mode between the safe production and produce quickly.

"You can not have the corporate responsibility department, saying that the system additional hours must be kept at a reasonable level and the purchasing department demanding 10,000 Blouses delivered roses in a week," Macarena Gross said, He directs the Corporate Social Responsibility for Hoss Intropia, a small Spanish label.

Ms. Gross said she had to use videos and photos to the conditions in India, where the company makes life and work clothes, to educate the company's offices in Madrid. "You like a little fashion company on the grounds, where in fact garments are sewn known would be thrilled," she said.

Inditex said it almost doubled to nearly 2,000 the number of internal and external staff on what he focuses the subjects 'sustainability' between 2010 and 2011. But this did not eliminate security vulnerabilities.

In case of fire Smart Export, Inditex, said a contractor working in the factory in Bangladesh was awarded to the workers where the exit was closed at the time of the fire. In a 2011 case, a contractor Inditex Brazil awarding work to another garment manufacturer that the Brazilian government held Bolivian immigrants in sweatshop conditions claimed. Inditex said he severed ties with entrepreneurs in both cases and ensured that workers were compensated.

The continuous monitoring of the entire production chain often means "to track down the Subcontractor Subcontractor Subcontractor," said José Luis Nueno, marketing professor at IESE Business School in Spain. Mr. Nueno Inditex given high marks, but added that the task is complicated when a business is the production volume of the Inditex clothing are nearly a billion last year.

Inditex, Mango and El Corte Ingles are a number of European traders who have a legally binding agreement to improve security in Bangladesh factories after the collapse Rana Plaza signed.

Some union leaders have asked the company to take further steps towards transparency, along the lines of manufacturers such as Nike and Adidas sneakers NKE -1.74% -1.45% ADS.XE disclosure name foreign suppliers. "There are still gaps in this report, the fashion company," said Jose Mesa, Secretary of the General Union of Workers. Inditex said government representatives and trade unions in the countries where it operates very well know the identity of their local producers.

To the economic recovery, there is the national mood, the Spaniards can still be cautious embraced the international success of Inditex's Ortega, who was the third place on the Forbes list of billionaires, with a net worth of $ 57,000,000,000th

When Mr. Ortega has € 20 million in the Catholic organization Caritas donated last October, violent conflict broke out on Twitter and Facebook FB -0.39% from the Spaniards, and others praised his generosity who wonder if the gift was tainted. Etxebarría novelist wrote on her Facebook page that she "almost exclusively concentrated Zara", but he stopped after reading the bad conditions in Asian factories, and "poor salary conditions of textile workers."

A sporty, Sergio Sauca was one of several celebrities who have jumped to the defense of Mr. Ortega. "What a pathetic country," he tweeted. "Amancio Ortega donated 20 million Caritas and criticized. Which envy. In other places, they build a monument to him."

perfume Chanel No. 5, a century

  A fragrance that embodies every great movement of the avant-garde since the First World War? This is a high demand, nor that a new exhibition, which opened in Paris last weekend pleased to announce. Titled Culture Chanel (I know, only in France), the exhibition is really to show a fairly serious attempt as Chanel No. 5 perfume, the intersection between art, music, fashion, design and change social dramas after 1918.

Started in 1921, it was undoubtedly a radical perfume. On the one hand he was the first synthetic aldehydes. This does not seem romantic, but Chanel shoot the heady androgyny of the Jazz Age, was their first fragrance to smell quite modern. As always, she was ahead of the curve. The hipster, Victor Margeuritte novel about a young woman who was her boyfriend cheating on her discover chooses to live his life under the conditions of a man - Several fans and hair cut - has caused a stir when it was published in 1923. In many ways it could have been written for Coco.

Chanel No. 5 gets own show

As an androgynous scent that was - at least by the standards of that time. This meant not only that dominate floral notes, musk and no woozy irresistible. The only way his accomplice Ernest Beaux, dashing from pre-revolutionary Moscow and famous "nose", convinced to achieve was with aldehydes, which allowed him to create, to perfume it a garden in all its complexity - and what's more, as " in the shade. "

Chanel, who did not want any flowers in their own juice, and finally chose the value of a bouquet with jasmine, iris and rose - even 77 ingredients, I urge you to identify, because true to the promise of fine, they are perfectly mixed. It was the fifth version of the beautiful. And number 5

Or was it a different explanation for the name? Five Chanel was important for many reasons. For a modern woman, she was remarkably attached charms and symbols. Five is important in Hinduism and Buddhism. In addition, Igor Stravinsky, who had come in his house outside Paris, in 1920, more than a year, he composed a collection of short pieces for children called The Five Fingers while he was there.

A Brief History of Chanel No.5

A good deal of Cubism direct and bold refutation, decorated bottles "feminine" ubiquitous categorically at the time - then there was this minimalist bottle, was a classic. She borrowed the character of leaflets Dadaists produced at the time, rewrote the black lines and the effect of binding on the label of Bauhaus, Picasso and office proofreading by Marcel Proust, which he did by and pasting passages from the old. The origin of the box was beige and black, because Coco, beige is the color of nature.

Beige Chanel become white when they realized to keep up with demand for its fragrance in its four branches they have to ensure the production would industrialize. It is ironic that Coco, who's otherwise good time deleted inspiration notebook when they. Onto the hook with a Nazi officer during the Second World War, eventually going into business with a Jewish family But that's what happens when they signed a deal with Paul and Peter Wertheimer, 1924, with whom she still one of the founders of the Society of perfume houses perfumes Chanel, the world's most successful.

It was at this time that the plug of an emerald was fed into shape it was robust for distribution abroad just before the start.

So, yes, while the exhibition is a clever piece of marketing, it also works as a social history. If you go, do not forget a meeting later book on the floor of the workshop. You need the booklet - the windows, as casually as glass with the bottle and minimalist in its observations. But you have enough time to go to - it is open from 11am to midnight clock.

The opening was packed. It seems the more we pulls away from his life, the more. Certainly played a big role in the lives of many great personalities of the past 90 years, No. 5.

An enlightened patron who was wearing his favorite poems from her, Coco was a faithful friend of Cocteau, Picasso and Dali. It's a nod to the show in the garden of La Pausa, their villa in the South of France, which recently came on the market for € 33 million suns. I hope to buy Wertheimer, even if only to avoid, does not transform skin into a seedy night club for billionaires lizard.

It is that Chanel had a thing for millionaires, but she was also a feminist, for example, not a dogma, a proto-Green, an early proponent of world exports, and one of the first designers to star in his own ads (natch Tom Ford ). It also has the most careful I met spray regime completed. According to the brochure of the exhibition: "Every morning, a young assistant evaporate No. 5 at the entrance to the building of his kingdom, in the Rue Cambon in Paris, a moment before walking Mademoiselle Chanel, warned of his impending arrival by the doorman at the Ritz. The scent stays on the stairs and mirrors in her apartment. sprays also # 5 in breathing in his house. "
