<\/p>\nPrimavara asta, mai vine vreodata? Ce credeti? Eu cred ca pana si fluturii s-au plictisit, asteptand soarele in ghemurile lor de matase, asa ca ce sa mai zic de noi… E adevarat ca „primavara” e si o stare de spirit, ca a inceput o luna noua si magica, dar pe mine m-ar ajuta si o schimbare de temperatura: mai mult soare (si soare adevarat), lumina, nu mai vreau paltoane, nu mai vreau sa mi se incalceasca cerceii in fulare si sa imi inghete mainile, vreau rochii multe si colorate, vreau coliere cu fluturi la gat, vreau parul lasat liber, vreau buline \ud83d\ude42 Voi ce vreti?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pe ale mele wish \/ to do lists figurau si niste proiecte si idei noi, ca vorba aceea – la sezon nou, haine noi si idei noi. Si uite ca sezonul meu chiar incepe in <\/strong>haine noi : pe 7 si 8 martie, intre orele 18 – 20.30, ma gasiti in Debenhams Vitan, pot sa fiu stilistul vostru personal \ud83d\ude42 Daca aveti nevoie de un sfat pentru o tinuta noua, daca nu stiti ce croieli sau culori vi se potrivesc, daca nu v-ati dumirit ce din magazine e in tendinte, treceti prin magazin… Nu costa nimic, girls!<\/p>\n Pentru ca saptamana trecuta am fost prea obosita sa ma trezesc dimineata devreme si sa caut linkuri, astazi aveti o portie mare de recomandari printre care, evident, si povestea saptamanii, cu demiterea lui Galliano. BTW, aveti vreo parere despre asta – a fost corecta, nedreapta, grabita, ii va schimba cursul carierei sau imaginea, s-ar fi intamplat acelasi lucru daca Dior nu ar fi in Franta? Let me hear you…<\/p>\n \u00a0 Tears and applause at Dior<\/em> – „The \u201cpetites mains,\u201d or little hands \u2014 the atelier specialists who received a standing ovation at the end of the Dior autumn\/winter 2011 show in Paris.” In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n Galliano’s departure from Dior ends a wild fashion ride <\/em>– \u201cJohn Galliano\u2019s departure as design director at Christian Dior brings to an end a wild fashion ride, in which grace, glamour and shock, in equal measure, sent the once conservative Parisian house leaping forward both in its image and its financial success.\u201d In International Herald Tribune.<\/a><\/p>\n Catherine vs. Kate <\/em>– \u201cThe marriages this year of Kate and Kate \u2014 the future Princess Catherine and the rock-on model Kate Moss \u2014 are stirring excitement in Britain\u2026 [LFW] is doing its best to deliver. As the liveliest city in the lineup of autumn 2011 show locations, there are designers to suit every need, from royal wedding to Goth glamour.\u201d In International Herald Tribune<\/a>.<\/p>\n Surface attraction <\/em>– \u201cSculpted shapes, clean lines and modernist architecture \u2014 why is the fashion \u2018streamlining\u2019 of today any different from its previous incarnations of the 1930s to the 1990s?\u2026 The answer lies on the surface. A combination of hyper-modern fabrics and imaginative decoration is giving 21st-century style a third dimension.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n A fresh breeze of change <\/em>– \u201cThis gentle zephyr is bringing a new fashion attitude. Out goes outr\u00e9, excess and over-elaborate shows. In comes the quiet, no-fuss presentation of pleasing clothes. Freshness is the best word to describe what seems of the moment. Add to that \u2018decency,\u2019 meaning that any hint of \u2018vulgarity chic\u2019 has gone \u2014 and you get the new mood.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n Will galoshes make a splash again? <\/em>– „Nothing yells overshoes like sloppy weather, and this year’s has galosh visionaries believing April showers may finally be coming their way.”In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n America’s got talent <\/em>– \u201cThe British may be invading the American media \u2013 from Anna Wintour to Piers Morgan \u2013 but there\u2019s a reverse invasion happening too. In recent years, American brand and retail executives have become hot properties for British luxury brands with an eye on global expansion.\u201d In Financial Times.<\/a><\/p>\n Britain’s new queen of fashion<\/em> – \u201cWhen Sue Whiteley was 13, she bunked off school and went to buy a pair of designer trousers, having saved up her pocket money for six months. Today, some 30 years later, she bestrides the world of luxury fashion, as the newly announced head of Givenchy\u2026 [Within] LVMH, Givenchy is second only to Dior.\u201d In Evening Standard.<\/a><\/p>\n Custom tailors enjoying a boom<\/em> –\u00a0 \u201c\u2018People have come to realize that the expensive designer suit they are used to buying is made to fit a thousand other people,\u2019 says Rome-based tailor Luigi Gallo, who has been in the trade for more than 30 years. \u2018In addition, they\u2019re paying a huge price for that logo sewed into the jacket.\u2019\u201d In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n The middle blingdom <\/em>– \u201cMany Chinese people still remember the days when luxury meant a short queue for the toilet at the end of the street, or a bus conductor who wasn\u2019t excessively rude. Before the economy opened up, a chic suit meant one with the label of a state-owned factory sewn ostentatiously on the sleeve. How times change.\u201d In The Economist<\/a>.<\/p>\n English, with irony<\/em> – \u201cYet although there have been the usual glancing references to tweed, cable knits, plaids and country clothes, the real story lies with a young, techno-savvy generation. The prints that grow more sophisticated each season are light-years from the classic patterns of roses \u2019round the door. But they are only a click away from a student with a smartphone and digital skills.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n A conversation with Todd’s owner Diego della Valle <\/em>–\u00a0 \u201cAs the fashion flock moves to Milan for the fall\/winter 2011 collections, Tod\u2019s chairman Diego Della Valle, fondly called the Italian Ralph Lauren, talks about his life-long pursuit of Italian excellence, the reason why he bought shares at Saks and his part in keeping the Kennedy legacy alive.\u201d In Huffington Post.<\/a><\/p>\n Material girls: designers trim hemlines, costs <\/em>– \u201cBad weather in major producing regions, tight supplies and inflation have pushed prices of cotton to new, all-time highs. The cost of silk, wool and leather has also soared\u2026. Having survived the recession, designers and retailers are wary of trying to pass along price increases to skittish shoppers.\u201d Pe Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n When youth is the holy grail <\/em>– \u201cGrowing up is hard to do, when youth is the holy grail of British fashion. Seats are filled with imaginatively dressed young Londoners, who are design inspirations even before the show kicks off. And while other European capitals are short on fresh talent, the focus of the London scene is the \u2018New Gen\u2019.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0 Eight must-know fashion show producers <\/em>–\u00a0 \u201c[As] blogger\u2019s, stylists and PR teams move across to Milan, we bring you a round up of the must-know event producers behind the catwalks\u2026 We investigated major fashion show producers and present a selection from around the globe.\u201d In Luxury Society.<\/a><\/p>\n McQueen continues to cast spell<\/em> – \u201cAlexander McQueen, who died a week before last year\u2019s London Fashion Week, was remembered at a launch event for the forthcoming retrospective of the designer\u2019s work at New York\u2019s Metropolitan Museum. Vogue editor Anna Wintour and the ubiquitous Samantha Cameron gathered with press at the Ritz hotel.\u201d In The Independent <\/a><\/p>\n In Milan, trying to leap the obstacles<\/em> – \u201cMaybe reality is always too unreal without time to reflect, but the problem now seems acute for designers. Many say they don\u2019t have time to design in the traditional sense: exploring new fabrics and shapes. Some have unusual corporate pressures. Their instinct, then, is not to look around them but to adapt the myths of the last few hundred years, be they Mods, flappers or horse-riding dukes.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n And Poof! a new clothing label <\/em>– \u201c\u2018I thought about doing an archive revival mini-capsule collection,\u2019 explained Ms. Kennedy, but she eventually chose new pieces by 10 alumni designers that she felt were both saleable and representative of Fashion East\u2019s history\u2026 Lulu & Co. is stocked by Collette in Paris and Harvey Nichols in London, and Ms. Kennedy says she now looks forward to growing the line in coming seasons.\u201d In NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pierre Rougier, the man behind the curtain <\/em>– \u201cHis name may be unfamiliar, but his clients\u2019, including Yves Saint Laurent, Versace and Jil Sander, are not\u2026. As founder of PR Consulting, the New York\u2013based public-relations agency that manages the image and press coverage of a stable of exclusive brands\u2026 his job is to keep the Americans, whose critical opinions drive international buying trends, in line.\u201d In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n Chloe Sevigny interviews Proenza Schouler<\/em> – \u201cIt has been nearly nine years since Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez-both 23 and fresh out of design school\u2026 Their almost instantaneous rise through the realms of the fashion world as Proenza Schouler-seemingly so unscripted that they hardly had a business model when they began-is the stuff of lightning New York success stories.\u201d In Interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n 20 odd questions for Jason Wu<\/em> – „The designer of delicate confections\u2014most notably, Mrs. O.’s inaugural dress\u2014reveals his new accessories collection and his inner homemaker.” In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n Fashion retailer ASOS sets up shop on Facebook <\/em>– \u201cThe U.K. clothing site is the first European fashion retailer to open an e-tailing outpost inside the social network\u2026 the hip, London-based online clothing site became the first European fashion retailer to open an e-tailing outpost inside Facebook. Competitors such as Gap and Inditex\u2019s Zara use the networking site largely to communicate with fans.\u201d In Business Week.<\/a><\/p>\n Sleek and luxe <\/em>– \u201c\u2018I wanted to play with color, a little of the 1970s and a lot of irony,\u2019 said Ms. Giannini backstage, after the parade of fabulous Ms. Fox furs in turquoise, purple, rust and lilac wrapped around the shoulders above slim leather dresses or those sporty jackets with pleated culotte skirts that looked a lot like Yves Saint Laurent archives updated.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n![\"personal-shopper2.JPG\"](\"http:\/\/www.stylediary.ro\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/personal-shopper2.JPG\" "\\"personal-shopper2.JPG\\"")
