<\/p>\nLuati-va de mana sora, verisoara, cea mai buna prietena, colega de birou sau de banca si convingeti-o ca exista un mod mai interesant de a-si petrece o dimineata de weekend, decat mersul la un supermarket sau la o manichiura. Vorbesc de cursul meu de stil, evident! Un curs similar – dar mai teoretic – tin si in timpul saptamanii, dar pe acesta din weekend l-am gandit altfel: in primul rand, cu mai multe exercitii si cu informatii pe care sa le puneti in aplicare de a doua zi, plus cu posibilitatea unui feedback individualizat din partea mea; in al doilea rand, este programat pentru cele dintre voi care au timp liber doar in weekend. As putea sa va „vand” aici avantajele si beneficiile cursului, dar imi place sa cred ca daca cititi blogul asta, deja stiti ce v-as putea invata. Asadar, doar va invit… ne vedem in aprilie sau nu?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cat despre citit, am si astazi multe recomandari – dar am si una speciala: daca stati in casa din cauza vremii, puneti-va deoparte 2-3 ore ca sa cititi o carte adevarata. Ce aveti acum pe noptiera?<\/p>\n
Fashion’s approachable ambassador <\/em>– \u201cAs fashion has evolved from an insular club to mass-market obsession \u2014 helped in part by proliferating Web sites, blogs and TV shows like \u2018Project Runway\u2019 \u2014 Mr. Zee, 42, has come to epitomize a new form of top-of-the-masthead personality. He is not the aloof style arbiter, gazing out silently behind Frisbee-size sunglasses, but a chatty and approachable ambassador of fashion.\u201d In NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n CFDA Fashion Awards Nominees set <\/em>– \u201cThis will mark the 10th year that Swarovski is underwriting the awards gala, which will take place on Monday, June 6\u2026 As in previous years, the night will also be an occasion for the CFDA to hand out several special awards. Marc Jacobs will receive this year\u2019s Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award.\u201d In WWD<\/a>.<\/p>\n Yohji Yamamoto’s London moment <\/em>– \u201cThirty years after Yohji Yamamoto first presented his collection in Paris, the designer is having a moment in London\u2026 Yamamoto\u2019s first solo exhibition in the U.K. will open at the Victoria and Albert Museum, along with two smaller shows dedicated to his work at the Wapping Project and the Wapping Project Bankside galleries in South London.\u201d In WWD<\/a>.<\/p>\n Exit Paris, winking<\/em> – \u201cMy guess is it was a clever provocation. Mr. Jacobs would hardly be the first designer to have watched \u2018The Night Porter\u2019 or to allude to the obsessive and ultimately objectifying nature of high fashion. But he made no attempt to back away from this imagery in the wake of the Galliano scandal.\u201d In NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fashion designer crackups: is the industry too relentless?<\/em> – \u201cYou are on a very, very tight schedule. It\u2019s like a factory putting out an aesthetic. There is no space for imperfection.\u2019 The shift occurred during the past two decades, when business tycoons took over established family-run houses and \u2014 with the help of bright, young talents \u2014 transformed them into publicly traded billion-dollar global luxury brands.\u201d In Washington Post.<\/a><\/p>\n A new day for Valentino couture <\/em>– \u201cThe task before Chiuri and Piccioli \u2013 to take couture and ready-to-wear to the next generation \u2013 was seen by many as a poisoned chalice\u2026 Alessandra Facchinetti\u2019s designs were judged too directional for established customers and yet not appealing enough for a new audience\u2026 Now young Hollywood in particular is embracing Valentino.\u201d In The Telegraph.<\/a><\/p>\n How the Olsen twins won the world<\/em> – ” In an interview with Vogue they revealed how, at first, suspicious retailers didn’t believe that they actually designed the high-end garments in their collections for The Row. From around $300 for a T-shirt up to $5,000 for a cashmere and mink cape, they wanted to test the twins’ knowledge.” In Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n China split between conspicuous and sophisticated shoppers<\/em> – \u201cCurrently, China\u2019s luxury consumption remains in the \u2018conspicuous consumption\u2019 or \u2018competition in consumption\u2019 stage. Of course, there are some consumers who are highly educated and erudite, some rich second- and third-generation individuals, and those who have had experience living abroad \u2014 all of whom have learned how to enjoy luxury goods.\u201d In Jing Daily<\/a>.<\/p>\n Luxury brands need a woman’s touch<\/em> – \u201cEven Arnault wants more women at the very top: a third non-executive female director will be joining in May and more will follow. He\u2019s given Chantal Gaemperle, the head of human resources and synergies for the group, the task of helping push the proportion of female executive committee members to 35 per cent by 2012.\u201d In The Independent.<\/a><\/p>\n Authors dish on fashionable attire<\/em> –\u00a0 „In their new book „What to Wear, Where,” Hillary Kerr and Katherine Power instruct readers on what kind of outfit to put on for many an occasion. One thing the guide does not outline, however, is what to wear to a dinner in celebration of a book like „What to Wear, Where.”” In Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n Is print in vogue again? <\/em>– \u201cMaybe the Web\u2019s ascent and print\u2019s decline is happening a bit more slowly than originally thought. Maybe the only money to be made these days is in print or some tablet-Web-print hybrid. Whatever it is, it appears the old-fashioned print world has a little left in the tank.\u201d In WWD<\/a>.<\/p>\n What luxury brands are doing to help Japan victims <\/em>– \u201cBrands such as Bergdorf Goodman, Gilt Groupe, David Yurman, Gucci and Swarovski are using Facebook and Twitter to encourage consumers to donate money to the Red Cross and other disaster-relief organizations dedicated to helping those affected by the tsunami and earthquake in Japan.\u201d In Luxury Daily<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fashion rethinkers: Norma Kamali<\/em> – \u201cShe uses Skype as a medium for customer service, the pieces from her most recent collection, which was shown in February, will hit her store in just a few weeks (compared to the normal delivery of a few months)\u2026 In other words, Kamali has never played by the rules, and for that we consider her a revolutionary thinker.\u201d In JC Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Kate effect: her impact on fashion is huge <\/em>– \u201cFights over her earrings. The \u00a3650 trench coat that sold out within in a day. The red twinset that caused a stampede in a shop. With waiting lists for her outfits, how Waity Katie took on a whole new meaning\u2026\u201d In Daily Mail.<\/a><\/p>\n Jean Touitou, APC designer<\/em> – \u201cJean Touitou is what some might call a \u2018tough crowd.\u2019 The Tunisian-born, Paris-based founder of the French clothing line A.P.C. is famously vocal about his dislike of most stores\u2026 For all Mr. Touitou\u2019s grumbling, his 24-year-old label is deeply beloved by bespectacled creative types for its simple, chic, well-tailored staples.\u201d In Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n Westwood lasting imagery<\/em> – \u201cMs. Westwood\u2019s 1980s fashions now are the focus of an exhibition at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. The show\u2026 is highlighted by pioneering looks such as a unisex ensemble in billowing striped cotton from the 1981 Pirates collection, which may well have an effect on designers now experimenting with genderless styles.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n Chinese creativity: who are the emerging designers?<\/em> – \u201cWith Shanghai Fashion Week about to kick off, and Beijing Fashion Week just around the corner, Jing Daily is looking forward to the newest collections by some of the top emerging designers in China. Some we\u2019re watching closely.\u201d In Jing Daily.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Luati-va de mana sora, verisoara, cea mai buna prietena, colega de birou sau de banca si convingeti-o ca exista un mod mai interesant de a-si petrece o dimineata de weekend, decat mersul la un supermarket sau la o manichiura.
