Re-innoire sufleteasca, nu doar de garderoba; multa culoare si pofta de viata; sa invatati cum sa fiti bune, nu doar frumoase si destepte. Sa traiti cu ochii larg deschisi; sa oferiti, nu doar sa luati. Less is more<\/em>, mai putin cand e vorba de emotii. Cam asta va urez de Paste, ca sa fac nota discordanta cu urarile conventionale. Ah, da – si incercati sa nu mancati prea mult zilele astea \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Asadar, linkurile zilei, iar primul nu „deschide” pagina intamplator…<\/p>\n

How I regained my fashion senses<\/em> – „After an initial panic \u2013 how will I know what is happening in the world? \u2013 I found myself asking: \u201cDo I really care if Anna Dello Russo is wearing a cherry or a pear on her head today? Does it impact my life how many C\u00e9line luggage totes some blogger spotted on her way to work? Is my life complete now that I know so-and-so wore Oscar de la Renta and not Prada?\u201d In Financial Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eye on Shanghai, the fakes <\/em>– \u201cChina is the world production center for counterfeit goods (it is estimated that 85 percent of the world\u2019s imitations are made here). Foreign businesses are lobbying with the government to halt this black beast of a market, to deter significant dents in figures related to employment and gross national product. These are just some of the complex concerns at hand, alongside child labor and copyright infringement.\u201d In Jing Daily<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Camouflaging price creeps <\/em>– „Several stores have couched recent increases inside promotions, or nudged price tags up by a little under 10 percent, the point at which many shoppers\u2019 radar picks up on the move. For example, at American Eagle Outfitters<\/span>, the price of striped polo shirts was raised about a week ago to $34.50, up from $29.50. At Brooks Brothers, a wrinkle-free shirt is $88, up from $79.50 in January.” In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Why designers love to dress pop music’s leading ladies<\/em> – \u201cA quick glance at red carpeted occasions explains why designers, while still happy to dress actors \u2013 from fledgling talent to veritable superstars \u2013 might find working with their musical counterparts more inspiring.\u201d In The Independent.<\/a><\/p>\n

Going with the flow of a long skirt <\/em>– „Designer Rachel Roy, known for her feminine looks worn by the likes of Michelle Obama, gives advice on how to wear one of spring’s hottest new looks.” In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n

Aquilano Rimondi out at Gianfranco Ferre<\/em> – \u201cWhen questioned about the designers\u2019 fates at the label\u2019s Fall 2011 show in February, Paris Group\u2019s Abdulkader Sankari and his son Ahmed are said to have cut Aquilano and Rimondi loose in the face of weak sales figures. \u2018Sales didn\u2019t go well at all and the designers have already left.\u2019\u201d In Fashion Etc<\/a><\/p>\n

Madame Gres as sculptor<\/em> – „It would be a fair guess that the exhibition at the museum dedicated to the French sculptor Antoine Bourdelle will have a similar impact on the fashion world as last year\u2019s Yves Saint Laurent Paris retrospective.” In NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Farewell to the fascinator?<\/em> – „Easter bonnets might not be appropriate for anyone over the age of five, but with spring in the air and the wedding season upon us, the focus is on hats. Increasingly, they\u2019re appealing to younger and more fashion-forward women who want to add drama to an oufit and realise that wearing a timid fascinator consisting of two limp feathers on a headband is beyond pass\u00e9.” In Financial Times<\/a><\/p>\n

Prada’s collections lands 48 covers<\/em> – \u201cLast season it was Miu Miu, specifically that one appliqued dress, that kept appearing on cover after cover. This season, Prada\u2019s spring 2011 is sweeping the glossy covers\u2026 So far Prada\u2019s colorful stripey bananas collection has seen 48 covers (that we\u2019ve counted) and starred in countless editorials.\u201d In Fashionista<\/a>.<\/p>\n

H&M’s Anne Sofie Johanssons on sustainable fashion and managing a team of 140 <\/em>–\u00a0 \u201cAnn-Sofie Johansson started out at H&M working on the sales floor in 1987, became a design assistant in 1990, and by 2008 was head of design\u2026 Johansson answered questions from what it\u2019s like to manage a team of over 140 designers\u2026 to her approach to sustainable fashion.\u201d In Thread NY<\/a><\/p>\n

This is what „parisienne” looks like<\/em> – „THE perfect Parisian woman is an illusion, bien s\u00fbr. But learning to pretend to be one is a serious business that dates back centuries. It is an enterprise that continues to thrive with profitable how-to books like, \u201cHow to Become a Real Parisian,\u201d \u201cThe Parisian Woman\u2019s Guide to Style\u201d and \u201cAll You Need to Be Impossibly French.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Lunch with the FT: Francois Pinault <\/em>–\u00a0 \u201cA self-made luxury goods magnate, Pinault is internationally acclaimed for his cutting-edge art collection\u2026 But in France he has never shaken off a reputation as something of a wide-boy who made his wealth through takeovers of ailing companies, aided by political friendships\u2026 \u2018French people \u2026 look at Pinault as a pirate.\u2019\u201d In Financial Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Menswear formal acceptance <\/em>– \u201cJeremy Langmead, editor in chief of the recently unveiled men\u2019s retailing website Mr Porter, thinks the tailoring turnaround heralds a return to the desire for rules. \u2018If you have parents who grew up in the \u201960s and \u201970s, they already rejected all the rules where dressing was concerned. This is a new generation who is interested in learning how to tie a Windsor knot. You can\u2019t rebel by wearing the clothes your dad wore.\u2019\u201d In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n

Fit for a (future) king<\/em> – \u201cOh, the missed opportunity! Does the royal family not care enough for the British tailoring industry to want to take this singular moment to promote it? After all, retail analysts Verdict are predicting the royal wedding could boost the UK economy by around \u00a3620m \u2013 and shouldn\u2019t men\u2019s wear get a piece of that?\u201d In Financial Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Who makes the call t the mall, men or women?<\/em> – „A longstanding marketing adage makes clear who holds most American households’ purse strings: Women control 80% or more of spending.\u00a0 For at least two decades, this number has been a fixture of news articles, marketing websites and books about consumer behavior. And as with many oft-repeated statistics, no one is sure where it originated.” In Wall Street Journal. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
