<\/p>\nSe pare ca ultimele doua saptamani s-au transformat in „‘tis the season to be sick”. Poate ca am avem primavara in suflet, dar nu ne tine de cald. Asa ca racim, tusim, facem febra, continuam sa ne infofolim, pana la primele raze de soare. Ziua de azi nu pare deloc incurajatoare, ploua, e gri si e frig. Va propun sa va faceti niste paine prajita cu miere, sa aveti langa un muffin si o cana de cafea, sa va acoperiti cu o patura moale si sa cititi…<\/p>\n

Lunch with Natalie Massenet <\/em>– \u201cNet-a-Porter looks a lot like a glossy online fashion magazine but Mr Porter is largely black and white; more tabloid in tone; more vertically oriented; and features real men, role models who can also be style models, such as actor Steve McQueen and hotelier Andre Balazs, as well as lists of \u201cessentials\u201d every man needs.\u201d Pe Financial Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mr. Porter to test men’s urge to shop online<\/em> – \u201cThe debut of Mr Porter, the biggest ever launch of a men\u2019s luxury-goods website, will be closely watched by the fashion industry to see whether there are enough active male shoppers to support a fashion site\u2026 \u2018We know there\u2019s a demand for this,\u2019 says Net-a-Porter founder Natalie Massenet, \u2018I don\u2019t think shopping right now really appreciates the way men want to shop.\u2019\u201d In Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n At Marc Jacobs, the show before the show<\/em> – \u201c\u2018Sometimes, I don\u2019t know how we got from there to here,\u2019 Mr. Duffy said, referring to the early days of his 27-year partnership with Mr. Jacobs, when the two of them constructed sets themselves and went around \u2018with a tin cup\u2019 to friends. \u2018Nobody has any idea what it takes to do all this,\u2019 he added.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n Tech pushes tradition into the 21st century <\/em>– \u201cToday the most audacious prints and jacquards are created by computers. Alexander McQueen used the technology for his dramatic \u2018Plato\u2019s Atlantis\u2019 show in October 2009, and in his final collection of medieval-inspired jacquards\u2026 And during New York Fashion Week, many designers, including Narciso Rodriguez and Joseph Altuzarra, used computerized prints.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n Cinderella dreams, shoestring budget? No problem <\/em>– \u201cIf consumers can rent a movie by mail, or wheels on a whim, why not a couture gown should the occasion strike?

There has been an ongoing East\/West dialogue in fashion since Poiret in the Twenties, but it is again taking hold of the imagination in a manner not seen since the late Eighties.\u201d In The Telegraph. <\/a><\/p>\n Manish Arora confirmed as Paco Rabanne creative director<\/em> – \u201cManish Arora is the new creative director of Paco Rabanne, and will show his first collection for the label in October during Paris Fashion Week \u2014 for Spring 2012.

We like exposure, but we want a more controlled exposure.\u2019\u201d In NY Times. <\/a><\/p>\n Mulberry designer Emma Hill has men’s accessories in the bag <\/em>– \u201cAfter a decade-long obsession with women\u2019s \u2018it\u2019 bags, could men\u2019s bags become the next powerhouse sellers for luxury brands? The likes of Brioni, Tom Ford and Zegna have recognised\u2026 an emerging market for men\u2019s accessories.\u201d Pe The Australian.<\/a><\/p>\n Online retailers discover the joy of journalism<\/em> – \u201c\u2018Mail-out magazines are a great way to create a shop floor for online retailers when they don\u2019t have a physical space\u2026 Journalists have a different skill set. They know how to engage the readers, and engage communities of readers.\u2019\u201d In Financial Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fairytales and furniture for Christian Lacroix <\/em>– \u201cFirstly, he has collaborated with the young, British author, Camilla Morton\u2026 by illustrating a fashion fantasy\/fairytale\u2026 Equally romantic and fantastical will be Lacroix\u2019s new furniture collection, which will be launched at the Milan Furniture Fair in April.\u201d In The Telegraph.<\/a><\/p>\n CNN is back to covering fashion<\/em> – \u201c\u2018There is room for fashion in our coverage,\u2019 Ms. Cho said\u2026 \u2018Our viewers crave hard news. They want the headlines about Egypt. But we shouldn\u2019t discount the fact there are other topics we can cover, and I don\u2019t think it makes me any less of a journalist to cover fashion\u2026 Designers are thrilled to have CNN looking at them again.\u2019\u201d In NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n What Harrods and Torres can do for Britain<\/em> – \u201cWe do not have to stand helpless before people\u2019s fear of foreigners.

It is time the government did so too.\u201d In Financial Times.<\/a><\/p>\n Women of Wang<\/em> – \u201cHe\u2019s built an approximately $25 million business on cool but benign day-into-night clothes for lithe, pragmatic downtown girls who all appear to work in galleries or PR\u2026 anything vaguely \u201ccreative.\u201d Wang synthesized the street-style-blog-derived notion of looking like a \u201cmodel off duty,\u201d a louche fantasy of effortlessly sexy living if ever there was one.\u201dIn NY Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n New star in the front row<\/em> – \u201cVogue editors do not come along every day, except in China and India, where Western fashion magazines are new. Anna Wintour (American Vogue) and Franca Sozzani (Italian Vogue) have each held their jobs for 22 years; Alexandra Shulman, the chief of British Vogue, a little less. If anything, the cult of the editor has exploded in the last decade.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n The ‘in’ crowd<\/em> – \u201cForget dictating the trends, these days brands are throwing the ball into the consumer\u2019s court. Crowdsourcing \u2013 allowing your audience to decide on your product via social media, forums, and high-tech web customising programs \u2013 has become the buzz phrase in fashion.\u201d In Financial Times.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Se pare ca ultimele doua saptamani s-au transformat in „‘tis the season to be sick”.
