<\/a><\/p>\nSaptamana urmatoare, aceeasi masina si acelasi drum ma vor duce la Timisoara (mai sunt cateva locuri disponibile la cursul de stil, asadar it’s now or never<\/em> pentru inscrieri!), iar apoi ajung in Constanta (in weekendul 5-6 mai) si Iasi (12-13 mai).\u00a0 Una peste alta, aici<\/a>\u00a0 gasiti toate informatiile legate de curs, trimiteti-mi un email daca vreti sa participati.\u00a0 Ma confesez aici ca, dupa cele 6 destinatii din tara, ma voi simti ca un Jack Kerouac, ca Thelma fara Louise, ca Steinbeck fara al lui Charlie – dar cel putin voi fi intalnit niste femei splendide si imi voi fi facut niste amintiri fantastice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PS: ca sa intelegeti de ce spun „femei frumoase” – cum se poate sa ajungi intr-un oras in care nu ai prieteni ci doar cunostinte, sa stii ca urmeaza sa te intalnesti cu femei pe care nu le-ai mai vazut niciodata, si cu toate astea sa primesti pe drum mesaje de la ele de „ai grija cum conduci, te asteptam cu drag la Cluj<\/em>” si „te asteptam ca si cand…”<\/em> si „bine ai venit la Cluj, chiar daca e miezul noptii, you made my day”<\/em>?<\/p>\n Bun, nu mai bat campii, va las sa cititi, ne reintalnim maine…<\/p>\n How language is like fashion<\/em> – „In the end, usage really isn’t related to grammar or logic but is a realm of fashion. And this cuts both ways. Just because something is, linguistically, grammatical English doesn’t mean it’s expedient to use it. It’s like wearing jeans or a suit. Clothing tastes, like grammar instruction, were once rigidly prescriptive, too.” In The Atlantic<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lunch with the FT: Alexandra Schulman<\/em> – \u201cBut she\u00a0is\u00a0a big deal, and this is a big year for her and for Vogue. It\u2019s Shulman\u2019s 20-year anniversary as editor, this month she\u2019s publishing her first novel,\u00a0Can We Still be Friends, and Vogue is staging its first festival.\u201d In Financial Times.<\/a><\/p>\n Luxury goods oust executives with global economy in flux<\/em> – \u201cLuxury-goods makers are spring cleaning their boardrooms and ateliers.\u00a0At least 14 new presidents, chief executive officers, chief financial officers and creative directors started at European companies, including Mulberry Group Plc and PPR SA in the first quarter alone.\u201d In Business Week<\/a>.<\/p>\n Digital tools boost in-store services<\/em> – \u201cThe online and offline shopping worlds are converging, and thanks to a handful of digital solutions, retailers are using them to enhance offline shopping practices more than ever\u2026\u00a0Gucci unveiled a \u2018Mobile Point of Sale\u2019 program this week that will launch later this year at select boutiques in the U.S., Europe and Asia to better the retail experience for consumers.\u201d In WWD<\/a>.<\/p>\n Perry Ellis has something to say<\/em> –\u00a0\u201cFor men of a certain generation, the Perry Ellis look of the early \u201880s was a classic: impeccably constructed khaki pants and a crisp white or blue cotton shirt, perhaps paired with a buttery soft trench coat, all of it conveying a kind of effortless elegance.\u2019 When Perry Ellis was alive, no one did it better,\u2019 Michael Bastian, the men\u2019s wear designer, said recently.\u201d In NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n Architecture meets fashion: the world’s best flagship stores<\/em> – „Fashion and architecture have experienced an unrivaled period of growth, with star architects and major fashion brands working closely to build architectural wonders around the world. But is this simply a classic commercial act or a romantic matter based on a natural affinity from both sides?” In The Atlantic.<\/a><\/p>\n Gilt Group founders gab about the future of commerce<\/em> – \u201cWhen\u00a0Gilt Groupe\u00a0co-founders Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis Wilson opened the virtual doors to their\u00a0online flash sale site\u00a0in 2007, they were thrilled to sell $9,565 in high-fashion fare on their first day. Now, the members-only site\u2014which has since grown to include travel, food, home furnishings and local services\u2014can generate far more than that in a matter of seconds.\u201d In AdWeek.<\/a><\/p>\n Stores go online to find the perfect fit<\/em> – \u201cWhen Andy Dunn helped start Bonobos five years ago, he wanted to shake up the retail industry with a men\u2019s wear brand exclusively sold online. Now Mr. Dunn, 33, is embracing the brick-and-mortar model, striking a partnership with Nordstrom. It is a symbiotic deal. Bonobos will get $16.4 million in cash and more than 100 stores to sell its clothes, while Nordstrom will get gain expertise on e-mail marketing and online branding.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n Plastic is fantastic!<\/em> – „Believe it! Designers are creating covetable polymer pieces, applying the forever-futuristic material to party clothes, accessories and even beachwear.” In Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n Trench warfare: Aquascutum vs. Burberry<\/em> – \u201cTwo of Britain\u2019s most well-known fashion labels found themselves at rather different ends of the spectrum yesterday, as international megabrand Burberry announced a rise of 17.1 per cent in its revenues, while Aquascutum \u2013 whose apparel once warmed the burly shoulders of Winston Churchill \u2013 has entered administration.\u201d In The Independent.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nu absentez de pe blog weekendul acesta, chiar daca sunt la Cluj.
