A inceput numaratoarea inversa spre Craciun, dragele mele fete, si as zice ca va gasiti in cel mai bun moment pentru a va evalua anul care a trecut.\u00a0 De ce sa mai asteptati inca o 30 de zile?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Daca o faceti acum, mai aveti inca 30 de zile in care sa bifati din lucrurile pe care le aveati pe lista – din cap, din suflet, de pe hartie:\u00a0 sa cititi o carte, sa mergeti la un concert de muzica clasica, sa plantati o floare, sa gatiti un fel nou de mancare, sa renuntati la dulciuri, sa va intalniti cu cea mai draga prietena, sa va inchideti laptopul in fiecare seara la ora 8, let it go (whatever IT is!)<\/em>, sa zambiti, sa va schimbati cerceii, sa purtati tocuri, sa purtati o rochie, sa va luati vitaminele, sa beti apa, sa va platiti facturile restante, sa faceti o asigurare de viata, sa fiti mature, sa fiti copilaroase, sa va cumparati o portjartiera, sa faceti ordine pe birou, sa va lasati de fumat, sa donati sange, sa aveti rabdare in trafic, sa imbratisati pe cineva, sa beti un ceai in liniste, sa scrieti o carte… Voi ce (mai) aveti pe lista?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sfatul meu? Nu ca mi l-ati fi cerut or anything, dar daca tot sunteti aici…\u00a0 Cultivati-va. Nu neaparat in sensul de eruditie (desi este minunata) si in nici un caz cu emfaza. Faceti cate ceva, in fiecare zi, pentru ca sa fiti mandre de voi peste ceva timp. Descoperiti-va o pasiune, exersati-va creativitatea, exersati-va empatia, bunatatea, generozitatea sau umanitatea, incepeti sa fiti cine va doriti voi cel mai mult sa fiti.\u00a0 Faceti lucrurile astea cu discretie, nu va laudati cu ele pe vreun blog sau pe Facebook (asa devin doar laudarosenie, si se duce naibii toata treaba). Evolutia sau imbunatatirea va fi cu atat mai frumos si bine observata, cu cat nu este batatoare la ochi. Vorba cantecului, „and trust me on the sunscreen”.<\/p>\n

Si pentru ca saptamana trecuta nu am avut timp sa postez recomandari de lectura, ma voi revansa astazi, cu mai multe. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Heel highs times tweets?<\/em> – \u201cThe 1920s notion of a \u201chemline index,\u201d in which the economist George Taylor posited that skirt lengths rise and fall in relation to the economy, suggests that fashion is socially determined. In a modern twist, a report about the direction of high heels, issued by I.B.M., proposes that fashion can now be determined through social media.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Anatomy of a Maison<\/em> – \u201cIn the Medieval age, the sight of a towering spire signalled a city of splendour. Today, it is cathedrals of retailing that indicate metropolitan status in the global pecking order. The December 3 opening, not of another Louis Vuitton store \u2013 there are already 460 of those worldwide \u2013 but of a much grander Louis Vuitton \u2018Maison\u2019 (of which there are just 13) proves Sydney must be a very smart town indeed.\u201d In AFR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fashion’s new frontier for social media<\/em> – \u201cThe fashion industry is quickly learning that men and women engage and shop differently in the digital sphere. Brands and retailers such as Coach, Mr Porter, Gilt Man, Ben Minkoff, John Varvatos and Ermenegildo Zegna have spent a lot of time studying the differences between the ways men and women approach fashion, tapping into their male audiences with a host of initiatives they feel will resonate best with their target consumer.\u201d In WWD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don we now our gay apparel<\/em> – „There are many ways to approach Christmas party dressing. The first, and my favorite, is simply not to attend any parties over the festive season. But presupposing that you are less antisocial than me, I’m going to discuss three possibilities\u2014with the caveat that the holidays are riven with all sorts of seemingly insoluble wardrobe challenges.” In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n

A new frontier for big brands<\/em> – \u201cIn Paris, at 23 Place Vend\u00f4me next year,\u00a0Louis Vuitton will open the first boutique dedicated to its fine jewellery. It is a significant move for the industry\u2026\u00a0As is usual with Louis Vuitton, a decision by the world\u2019s most successful luxury brand to make a decisive step into a new market is a signal of shifts in the industry\u2026 But expectations are that jewellery\u2019s switch from a predominantly craft market to a new frontier for big brands is under way.\u201d In Financial Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How the uncertain economy is changing the definition of luxury<\/em> – \u201cWith the emergence of new wealthy consumers from the BRIC countries and the economic downturn for most nations outside of the BRIC superfecta in the past few years, luxury has taken on a multitude of new meanings. No longer does it exclusively equate to expensive products that are mostly of French or Swiss origins.\u201d In Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The insider’s outsider – <\/em>„Dries Van Noten has built a booming business much to the envy of the fashion industry. How an idiosyncratic Belgian designer with particular notions about the way men and women should dress is quietly beating the big corporate conglomerates at their own game.” In WSJ Magazine<\/a>.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Abraham Moon: the name on everybody’s lips and labels<\/em> – \u201cOver the past few years everyone from Ralph Lauren to Dolce & Gabbana has descended on the place\u2026 The thing that draws them is a 174-year-old woollen mill in a sprawl of sooty Victorian stone buildings either side of the Netherfield Road. There etched on to a black vitreous panel by the entrance are the words Abm Moon & Sons Ltd.\u201d In The Telegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Future classic<\/em> – „How does a storied French accessories house go about designing a new iconic look?\u00a0 For Bruno Frisoni of Roger Vivier it’s taken four years and a lot of geometry.” In WSJ Magazine.<\/a><\/p>\n

World’s biggest brands invest in The Fancy<\/em> – „\u201cThe Fancy, one of the consumer facing projects under the thingd umbrella, has secured a $10 million round of financing at a valuation north of $100 million. Interestingly, the big bucks don\u2019t come from a typical venture investor, but from a new lead investor\u00a0PPR, the $16 billion French multi-national run by Francois Henri-Pinault, which owns the globe\u2019s biggest fashion brands\u2026 The Fancy is about visual discovery and has become a natural home for fashion brands, which see a high level of engagement from tastemakers around their goods.\u201d In BetaBeat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Putting the hot back in hotel<\/em> – „A lobby full of trendsetters can make a hotel chic, but luring them in is easier said than done. W Hotels is looking to Jenn\u00e9 Lombardo, a fashion insider, to help it recapture cutting-edge cachet in the fashion industry. ” In Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elle Macpherson: the brains behind The Body<\/em> – \u201cMacpherson insists that the financial revelation that struck in her early-to-mid twenties was her own, unprompted by some agent\u2026 . It came, she says, after \u2018working for Sports Illustrated for so many years, and recognising that working for a business in which I did not have a profit share was not attractive\u2019.\u201d In The Telegraph.<\/a><\/p>\n

Soap, shampoo, toothpaste: pitching the gift of\u00a0 hygiene<\/em> – „Packaged gift sets of personal-care products such as shampoos and toothpaste are increasingly being sold as accessible luxuries\u2014and an easy present for your cousin or dog walker. ” In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n

They shoot fashion, don’t they?<\/em> – „\u201cThe fascination with the spectacle of fashion that McQueen (amongst other designers) brought to the catwalk arena lies at the purposeful core and messages of the exhibition. If one may doubt the intentions behind exhibiting clothes and photos related to the current phenomenon that is the catwalk fashion show, the clever irony of such a display is certainly not lost on those that see the mirroring value and critique of celebrity and glamour in the same way that Pollack or McQueen did.\u201d In Huffington Post.<\/a><\/p>\n

J’s Crew<\/em> – „As its men’s empire expands, the co-branding pioneer rolls with a growing gang of special outfitters. Feeling more like individual boutiques than J. Crew’s integrated stores, the spaces are stylized, site-specific environments. They are filled with not only the brand’s merchandise but antique furniture, inspiration books plucked from the designer’s offices and exclusive collaborations with little-known labels. ” In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
