Mai in gluma, mai in serios, ieri a fost 1 aprilie. 1 aprilie, ceea ce inseamna ca a trecut o treime din acest an, 90 de zile, 12 saptamani. Sper din tot sufletul ca ati realizat ceva semnificativ (pentru voi) in astea 3 luni, iar daca nu puteti bifa ceva BIG de pe lista vietii voastre din 2011, ar trebui macar sa va scrieti acea lista. Vorba pisicii de Cheshire: „Where do you want to go?” <\/em>asked the Cheshire cat. „I don’t know,”<\/em> Alice answered. „Then,” <\/em>said the cat, „it doesn’t matter.”<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Daca pe lista to do-urile de acest an figureaza si o schimbare de garderoba sau de imagine,\u00a0 treceti si pe aici<\/a>: poate un curs de stil e instrumentul de care ai nevoie ca sa te vezi altfel.<\/p>\n

Daca sunteti, ca mine, obosite dupa o saptamana incredibil de scurta si de aglomerata, faceti-va timp pentru un somn de frumusete, un brunch lung, o vizita la piata de flori, o carte buna sau un film interesant sau, pur si simplu, momente de visare cu ochii deschisi. Daca insa sunteti cu ochii larg deschisi, cititi si recomandarile mele…<\/p>\n

Alexander Wang on building his fashionable family empire<\/em> – \u201cTime passes faster and faster, but with every project I always want to find the next challenge and the next challenge is just as exciting as the previous one. So, like, I push myself and as the company grows and things get bigger and bigger and bigger.\u201d In The Telegraph.<\/a><\/p>\n

Rick Owens, the prince of dark design<\/em> – \u201cIn a fashion climate ruled by luxury-goods conglomerates and an excess of merchandise that is both overwhelming and, increasingly, banal, Owens\u2019 less-than-conventional career trajectory \u2013 his business turned over more than $50m last year \u2013 is an inspiration. \u201d In The Independent.<\/a><\/p>\n

Brand Anna <\/em>– „The editor of Vogue has always occupied the most powerful seat in the world of American fashion. But Anna Wintour’s web of influential friends and allies has helped turn her into a global brand that transcends fashion.”In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n

What your watch says about you<\/em> – „As an indicator of one’s status or taste \u2013 or lack thereof \u2013 watches have become the new shorthand. Previously, anything more obscure than a Timex or an Accurist was appreciated only by cognoscenti. Watches were far too small to be in-your-face indicators of serious wealth.” In NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Peter Marino, the leader of the pack<\/em> – \u201cIn an industry with the collective attention span of a fruit fly, Marino has enjoyed an improbably long run. Known for creating modern retail spaces with varying degrees of glamour, from understated to full-frontal, Marino has become the keeper of brand identities.\u201d In WWD<\/a>.
\nThe perfect fit: the rise of sportswear<\/em> –\u00a0 \u201cAthletic brands are realising the potential benefits of making sports wear that is stylish as well as functional. They are even tapping into catwalk trends\u2026 This time last year ready-to-wear designers such as Alexander Wang and Marc Jacobs were unveiling their take on sports, and now sports wear makers have reciprocated.\u201d In Financial Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

New life for the historic art of lace-making<\/em> – „The return of lace as a major fashion trend is giving a boost to a once-faltering European business. Looking nothing like your grandmother’s doilies, lace is the fabric of whole dresses and suits for summer, as well as next fall. Lace hasn’t been this popular since Queen Victoria sat on the throne.” In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Jane Pratt plots her comeback<\/em> – \u201cIn the next two months, she will launch JanePratt.com, a Web site aimed at the gulf between the Cosmopolitans and Jezebels of the world. Then, in the summer, she will team up with Gevinson to introduce a magazine and a Web site for teenaged girls.\u201d In WWD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A safe walk in the dark<\/em> – „I liked where they sat on the spectrum of summer shoes: tall enough to keep your naked feet elevated above filthy New York sidewalks and sexy, but with a bit of growl and bite to them \u2014 something Tank Girl might wear to a Brooklyn tailgate party.” In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

The tribes of Westwood, Owens and Demeleumeester<\/em> – \u201cWhile some designers tend to beat to the drum of being on-trend, others have already cultivated their own communities and are even referencing it within their collections. In the recent Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens and Vivienne Westwood collections you feel that they are speaking in a language that their customers already know and understand.\u201d In Cutting Class.<\/a><\/p>\n

Italian industry must look beyond protectionism<\/em> – \u201cWhy does a country such as Italy, with its talent in luxury goods and craftsmanship, not have a global luxury group to match LVMH and PPR in France, or Richemont in Switzerland? Italian industry needs vision more than patriotism.\u201d In Financial Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A tribute to Elizabeth Taylor<\/em> – \u201cWhen it came to style, Elizabeth Taylor was fearless. The diamonds, the hair, the cleavage: She rocked it out everywhere she went. In her younger days, she favored plunging necklines with straps poised to slip off her shoulders, her hair like a dark cloud around her thickly made-up eyes.\u201d In The Cut.<\/a><\/p>\n

At Mugler, genius and its limits<\/em> – \u201cMr. Formichetti\u2019s show was not a work of genius, but it was a show about genius in the present moment \u2014 its limits, its futility. If Paris couture is about history, craft and masters, the new Mugler is about nonspecialists, quick communication and downgrading the role of technique and craft, at least in the heavy, earnest sense.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Time warp<\/em> – \u201cIn the past couple of years, more and more guys I talk to have been going vintage when it comes to watches\u2026 It\u2019s the inevitable pushback against the highflying hedge-fund era, when the pursuit of luxury meant the quest for highly conspicuous quality and lots of it.\u201d In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n

John Lobb unveiles bespoke line<\/em> – \u201cIt was created as a celebration of world cities: Eleven teams were assembled in 11 capitals to each create a unique pair of John Lobb shoes. The idea was to make two shoes that embody the spirit of the city, Paul-Dauphin said. He called it \u2018around the world in 22 shoes.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 In Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

F(AA)shion Dialogues<\/em> – \u201cIn this search for fresh approaches some fashion designers developed collaborations with architects\u2026 Trying to explore the new possibilities offered by fashion and architecture, the Architectural Association School launched the \u2018F(AA)shion\u2019 workshop, an intensive design-based programme of lectures.\u201d In Dazed Digital.<\/a><\/p>\n

Does this green flatter me? <\/em>– „Green fashion was all the rage about four years ago, when virtually every designer of premium jeans or discount underwear was touting the organic attributes of their products. But the trend died down in response to the global recession and consumer skepticism about just how environmentally friendly fashion could be.” In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Carine’s next step <\/em>– \u201cCarine Roitfeld has finally confirmed her next move post-French Vogue \u2013 the former editor is teaming up with Barneys to become the store\u2019s guest editor and stylist for autumn\/winter 2011-12. Roitfeld will style and edit the American store\u2019s advertising campaign (photographed by Mario Sorrenti), catalogue, newsletters, as well as the Madison Avenue windows.\u201d In Vogue UK.<\/a><\/p>\n

20 odd questions for Stephanie Phair<\/em> – „The director of Net-a-Porter’s discount sister site, the Outnet, shares her bargain-shopping secrets. With a pedigree that includes Oxford and a three-year stint in the public-relations and marketing department at American Vogue, the „designer agnostic” is a veteran when it comes to looking good for less.” In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Rodarte steps up to a widening world<\/em> – \u201cOver the past year the fashion brand, created in 2005 by the sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, made headlines not only for its distinctive ready-to-wear collections but also for its first foray into costume design\u2026 [Now] they have announced that they have been invited by Pitti W, the womenswear portion of Pitti Immagine, to be its special guests at its June capsule collection in Florence.\u201d In International Herald Tribune.<\/a><\/p>\n

Less appetite for luxury <\/em>– „\u201cI realize how much I have wasted,\u201d Ms. Kusaka said as she hurried with her boyfriend one recent evening through empty streets in the normally glittering Ginza shopping district, where streetlamps were still darkened to save electricity two weeks after the earthquake. \u201cThis whole incident has changed people\u2019s outlook,\u201d she said.” In NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
