„The clothes you put on do not instantly make you the character you want to be. Clothes are a lifelong journey into aquiring an identity, an identity deliberately formulated, but also made by accident. You try on a tweed jacket and understand that is has connected with the part of yourself you scarcely knew about, which would like to go for a walk along a country road, with dogs. Or you put on a dress and discover in you the capacity to be quite lah-di-dah. And indeed, all cross-dressing is a means by which we can give expression to those secret selves which lie concealed beneath our obvious appearance; who people believe us to be but, in our heart of hearts, we aren’t. Or not completely.<\/p>\n

[…] And I sort of understood as a child that being a woman was about dressing u, that these were costumes, and indeed an outfit would be called „a costume”. A dress was a frock or a gown. A suit was an ensemble. Clothes were not what you wore to be comfortable: they were how you built your femininity.”<\/p>\n

What your brand can learn from Anna Wintour<\/em> – \u201cWhen you think of the fashion industry, leggy models, fast and fickle trends, and the latest \u2018it\u2019 bag may come to mind. But when you look closely at the business of fashion (after all, it is an\u00a0industry), you see that one of its leading icons uses basic branding principles to engage her consumers in innovative ways\u2026\u201d Pe London Associates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Giorgio Armani courts China<\/em> – \u201c\u2018Are you responsible, compassionate, reliable, honest, pessimistic and anxious?\u2019 Giorgio Armani\u2019s ice blue eyes lock onto mine. Who dares ask fashion\u2019s last emperor \u2013 his kingdom resolutely independent from the conglomerates that dominate the global luxury landscape \u2013 about his personal character?\u201d\u00a0 Pe American FinancialReview.<\/a><\/p>\n

Drawn to HisShining Light<\/em> – \u201cAlthough Mr. Lopez\u2019s name may mean little today, at the time he was among the most celebrated talents in fashion, a virtuosic illustrator whose drawings \u2014 in ad campaigns for Valentino and Missoni, published in the predictable fashion bibles and in portfolios commissioned by men\u2019s magazines \u2014 were like semaphores beckoning strangers to enter his glamorous sphere.\u201d In NY Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Underwear: the next big thing in smalls<\/em> – \u201cFor a lingerie brand that has built a worldwide reputation by flaunting (and boosting and covering in rhinestones) the assets of some of the world\u2019s top models, the exterior of the new Victoria\u2019s Secret flagship store in London is somewhat demure.\u201d In The Independent<\/a><\/p>\n

Expanding her efforts to be role model<\/em> – \u201cMore than just a pretty face, Ms. Rocha is one of the few models who has become known by just her first name. At a moment when the fashion industry has increasingly marginalized models \u2014 to anonymous, size 0 waifs, a life span of three seasons\u2026 she has emerged as the model\u2019s liberator.\u201d In NY Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The frock star: Roksanda Ilincic<\/em> – \u201cRoksanda Ilincic is the undisputed queen of modern glamour. But on this hot, still August afternoon in London, it\u2019s hard to see how she managed it.\u201d In The Telegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jet set for the future<\/em> – „Retro space-age silhouettes from the 1960s art crowd combined with the jet-set minimalism of glam air stewardesses from the early 1970s. Think pop-art colour blocking, clean architectural lines, above-the-knee hemlines and metallic detailing. ” In Financial Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mature markets<\/em> – \u201c\u2018Attitudes seem to be slowly changing, as blogs such as Advanced Style, The Women\u2019s Room, and That\u2019s Not My Age have highlighted the fact that growing older does not mean women lose interest in fashion and style,\u2019 says British trend forecaster Jane Kellock, founder of The Women\u2019s Room.\u201d In Financial Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Social media’s issue: does it drive sales<\/em>? – \u201cAt this point, observers say, few brands, if any, are seeing significant sales result from their postings on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and other sites. Social media hasn\u2019t been about driving transactions; it has been about building brand awareness and a \u201ccommunity\u201d that will be devoted to a brand and, thus, buy it.\u201d In WWD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Diamonds and satin bring Tolstoy to life – <\/em>„Anyone inspired to channel some of the film\u2019s style in their own wardrobe needn\u2019t go back in time by 140 years, however. In November, Banana Republic will release an Anna Karenina capsule collection designed by Durran. Think dark colours, hints of military styling on men\u2019s and women\u2019s jackets, mini capes and, of course, (fake) fur Cossack hats.” In Financial Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Immortalising McQueen<\/em> – \u201cThe French photographer Anne Deniau first met the late Alexander McQueen at the end of 1996. At the time she was working for the fashion house Givenchy, where Lee Alexander McQueen had just been appointed creative director.\u201d In The Telegraph.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
