Image: courtesy of Cat Person x Jason Wu In Pictures Fashion designer Jason Wu has launched a cat care collection with Cat Person featuring products "to meet the underserved needs of cats and their owners". The capsule collection of feline essentials includes a range of furniture, toys, and even items for humans, all inspired by his love for cats, especially his own two, Jinxy and Peaches. Described by Cat Person as a "HauteCature" collection, highlights include a stylish litter box, designed to cater for the cat’s needs and work with the owners home aesthetic. The enclosed streamlined litter box has a ventilated wooden lid and a large accessible corner entry, which allows your cat to do its business with enough space and airflow. Other items include a hideaway scoop and holder, designed with the same wood as the litter box, with a durable aluminium alloy scoop to outlast any plastic one. A matching holder attaches to the Skylight Litter Box and keeps the Hideaway Scoop out of sight. Image: courtesy of Cat Person x Jason Wu While Cat Person’s fan favourite cat bowl has been given a Jason Wu makeover in his signature black colour. The sleek, semi-gloss bowl has a matching matte tray stand that has been ergonomically designed for comfort and easy eating. The collection also features the ‘Jason’ Catnip Pounce Toy in the shape of a dog, inspired by the fact that Wu was born in the year of the dog. Image: courtesy of Cat Person x Jason Wu While for the cat owner, there is a Signature Cat Person x Jason Wu pocketless hoodie with a playful cat illustration and a subtle Cat Person logo beneath the hood on the back. The hoodie is made from 100 percent certified organic cotton French terry and created using low-impact dyes and inks free from harmful chemicals. In a video to launch the collection, Wu said: "I think I’ve always been a cat person. I grew up with a lot of cats around and I’ve always loved them. What I didn’t love about other products that were available on the market was that they were either unattractive or too complicated to use. "My cats are kind of like my best friends so I wanted to design accessories and cat care items that a human being would want to use. I wanted to design something that was elevated, that was super user friendly, and something that you know is chic."

Учительница средних классов американской школы Джулия Муни решила доказать и показать детям, что модная и разнообразная одежда никак не влияет на нашу жизнь. Она проходила сто дней в одном и том же летнем платье. Всё это время учительница стойко терпела неловкие вопросы от детей, вопросительные взгляды коллег и суровый зимний холод. История преподавательницы началась 5 ноября 2018 когда, когда она пришла на занятия, одетая в простое серое платье с пуговицами, пишет medialeaks. Это был первый день эксперимента под названием OneOutfit100Days («Один наряд на 100 дней»), придуманного Джулией. Цель проекта была благородной: на личном примере учительница решила показать ученикам способы борьбы с «культурой переизбытка» в Америке и объяснить, что бренды одежды не определяют личность человека. "Мне надоело ходить по магазинам и тратить все деньги на одежду, для того чтобы нравиться другим людям. Нет правил, которые запрещают мне носить одно и то же каждый день, поэтому я подумала, почему бы нет. Я просто сделаю это, а потом поговорю с учениками о том, влияет ли наша одежда на нашу жизнь", - рассказала Джулия в интервью Good Morning America. С тех пор Муни убрала все свои наряды в дальний ящик и сконцентрировалась на том, чтобы сохранить единственное платье. Для чистоты эксперимента преподавательница не стала рассказывать ученикам и коллегам о своём выборе. "Это был мой первый день работы в новой школе с людьми, которых я вообще не знала, и я решила посмотреть, сколько времени им понадобится, чтобы заметить. Дети обратили внимание на мой наряд уже на второй день эксперимента. Любопытные ученики прямо спросили, почему Джулия ходит в одной и той же одежде", - рассказывает Джулия. В итоге два школьника решили присоединиться к преподавательнице, а остальные наблюдали, удастся ли ей закончить эксперимент. По постам Джулии в инстаграме можно понять, что сто дней её жизни были не самым лёгким опытом. Эксперимент проходил зимой, поэтому Муни пришлось дополнять образ свитерами и мёрзнуть в тонкой юбке, пишет medialeaks. Учительница стирала одежду по мере необходимости, но всё равно чувствовала на себе удивлённые взгляды коллег. "Через несколько дней после начала эксперимента мне уже было неловко идти по коридорам школы и здороваться с людьми, которые, вероятно, замечали, что я ношу одно и то же каждый день. Они ни о чём меня не спрашивали, наверное, не желая быть грубыми", - говорит преподаватель. За сто дней платье несколько раз рвалось, и Джулия исправно чинила ткань при помощи швейной машины, при этом сам наряд выглядел неплохо. Эксперимент завершился 13 февраля 2019 года - ровно через сто дней после его начала. В честь своего рекорда Джулия опубликовала особый пост в инстаграме. "Единственная причина, по которой мы так живём, сводится к тщеславию. В конечном итоге мы преднамеренно погружаемся в культуру быстрой моды, которая не приносит пользы ни планете, ни нашему самочувствию", - написала Джулия. К концу эксперимента инстаграм Муни собрал три с половиной тысячи подписчиков, а о самой учительнице написали многие американские СМИ.

Stay tuned for more highlights from today and find out what I do with the dress tomorrow For those of you on day 3, share your insights and thoughts!!! . . #whattheartteacherwore #slowfashion #sustainableclothing #ethicalfashion #ethicalconsumption #iteachtoo #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #artteachersofinstagram #hempdress #oneoutfitchallenge Публикация от Julia Mooney OneOutfit100Days (@oneoutfit100days) 13 Фев 2019 в 8:40 PST Посмотреть эту публикацию в Instagram I have SO much more respect for hemp fabric after doing this project. I worried Id end up dealing with something like horrifying armpit stains or smells or holes. So far, nothing has changed. Shes just like the day we met. Hemp wrinkles more easily than I like so Im trying to make peace with that. Because thats the only bummer about it. Check out ALL of its amazing advantages: .My Favorite Eco Choice Hemp creates one of the most eco friendly fabrics in the world. Hemp requires no pesticides, crowds out weeds without herbicides, controls erosion of the topsoil, and produces oxygen. It doesnt wear out the soil - it actually gives it nutrients! It is a renewable resource that can be cultivated in as little as 100 days Strong Fabric Hemps tensile strength is eight times that of cotton fibre. . Hypo-allergenic Fabrics made from hemp are hypo-allergenic and non-irritating to the skin. Current tests indicate that hemp is able to kill staph and other bacteria that come in contact with its surface.Just wanted to point that one out to everyone who sees this project as a hygene problem. Also..I wash it.Feel of Fabric Hemp has the look of classic linen and can have the feel (depending upon fabric blend) of your favourite flannel. Hemp materials will also soften with age and with each washing. .Great for hot weather Like linen and cotton, hemp is a cool choice for summer. It breathes well. It is recommended for warm, humid climates as the fabric resists mildew and absorbs moisture.Soooo Im currently using hemp to make myself and my kids some sundresses for after #OneOutfit100days ends UV Resistant This eco fabric will also protect you from the sun with its UV resistant qualities. . .

The sleeveless cream bodice is made of hemp because I am now a huge fan of this ultra sustainable fabric and the new floral skirt is organic cotton. I reused part of my dress trim for a neckline embellishment and replaced the buttons on the old bodice with new colorful ones I had in my cabinet. By the way @patmoon12 is on day 101 and decided to simply keep wearing it...because why not?!

Quarterly net sales rose 10.1 percent to 942.4 million dollars compared to third quarter 2015. Skechers said, the increase was the result of an 18.3 percent increase in the company s international wholesale business and a 16 percent increase in its company-owned global retail business with total comp store sales increases of 3.2 percent. Net earnings decreased 2.2 percent to 65.1 million dollars, while diluted net earnings per share were 0.42 dollar, compared with 0.43 dollar in the prior year. "Skechers achieved a new third quarter sales record for the period, and the second highest sales quarter in our 24-year history. This also resulted in a new nine-month sales record of 2.8 billion dollars," said David Weinberg, COO and CFO of the company, adding, "We believe that our international business represents the greatest growth opportunity with many countries continuing to show strong growth in the quarter, including China at just over 50 percent in net sales." Skechers earnings drop in Q3 Gross profit for the third quarter was 430 million dollars, or 45.6 percent of net sales, compared to 387 million dollars, or 45.2 percent of net sales, for the third quarter of last year. The company said that diluted earnings per share were negatively impacted by foreign currency translation and exchange losses of approximately 8.1 million dollars, or 0.04 dollar per diluted share. "To further grow our business internationally, we have transitioned certain international distributors to our subsidiary or joint venture model, including Israel most recently to a joint venture, and we are in the final stages of South Korea moving to a joint venture as well. We are also pleased with the 16 percent sales growth in our global retail business with 556 company-owned Skechers retail stores, including 150 international locations, at quarter end. Including third-party-owned stores, there are now 1,716 Skechers stores worldwide," added Weinberg. For the nine month period, net sales were 2.80 billion dollars, gross profit was 1.28 billion dollars or 45.7 percent of net sales, and earnings from operations were 342.3 million dollars. Net earnings were 236.8 million dollars and diluted net earnings per share were 1.53 dollars per share. Forecasts single-digit sales increase in Q4 For the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company expects net sales in the range of 710 million dollars and 735 million dollars. This outlook assumes single-digit increases and comps in its international wholesale business and total retail business, respectively, as well as a single-digit decrease in its domestic wholesale business. The company expects its ongoing capital expenditures for the remainder of 2016 to be approximately 5 million dollars to 10 million dollars, which includes an additional 15 to 20 retail store openings and the completion of its European Distribution Centre automation system. "As we look to celebrate our 25thyear in business, we continue to use our creativity, speed and scale to develop new product quickly that resonates with consumers around the world. Along with updates to our proven core styles, we have new categories and opportunities that we have begun presenting to our key North American accounts this week, and we are looking forward to showcasing our new offering to our international teams next month," added Robert Greenberg, Skechers Chief Executive Officer.

September 25th to 27th, 2019 • 698 exhibitors and 718 brands from 10 countries on more than 62,000 square meters from 25 to 27 September 2019 presented to over 54,000 visitors • CHIC as a constant for the Chinese fashion industry and fashion retail in the context of a rapidly changing market environment • Optimization of visitor management: Exhibitors and visitors benefited from the organizer's extensive range of matching services • Direct deals and more order-triggering business contacts at the fair The autumn event of CHIC Shanghai from 25 to 27 September 2019 generated 698 exhibitors and 718 brands from 10 countries and 54,202 trade visitors. Competent, focused and compact, the exhibitors displayed their new collections on an area of 62,000 square meters at the National Exhibition & Convention Center. The number of visitors is stable compared to the previous year. Chen Dapeng, President of the CHIC and China National Garment Association draws a positive conclusion from the show: "CHIC is a reflection of the extremely dynamic Chinese apparel market, whose consumers are the fastest to adapt to new trends and tendencies around the world, and all market developments will be reflected at CHIC , with the fair's service tools geared towards networking among its market partners. The Chinese market is undergoing changes to which it has not been exposed in the last hundred years: a permanently changing society shaped by the younger generation of consumers with the desire for individualization; the technological change, the digitization of the entire production and distribution chain; the increasing social and ecological responsibility of the companies. Challenges that companies have to face and keep pace with. In this environment, CHIC is the reliable basis that is used by all market participants. " Analysts expect China's retail sales to increase by 3.5% this year (after peaking at 7.5% last year), with a slight decline next year, but overtaking the US in 2021 and exceeds $ 6 trillion. Apparel sales are similar at 2.6% for this year from January to July 2019 and 6% last year. The figures illustrate the effects of the trade dispute with the US, and thus currently coupled with a general market uncertainty in China. The CHIC organizers are opposing this development by optimizing all measures for efficient business activities of exhibitors and visitors, both offline and online. In this context, the promotion measures such as WeChat advertising in the run-up to the event, match-making events at the fair and the updated CHIC-APP, which makes, among many other things, the direct networking between exhibitors and visitors already possible before the fair. The exhibitors report on numerous business start-ups and a significant increase in order activity. The appearance of film star Wenzhuo Zhao, one of China's most well-known Kung Fu performers, caused a sensation among visitors and media representatives in the CHIC Sustainability Zone . He has been named Brand Ambassador for Sustainable Fashion by the China National Textile Apparel Council, patron of the Sustainability Zone at the show. CNTAC is currently developing a unique international information platform for the classification of harmful chemical ingredients for textiles. These projects are financed by private sponsors, including China's best-known sportswear brand, Li Ning, also presenting a hoodie collection at CHIC made of R-PET fibers. The sporting goods manufacturer is as well the organizer of the Li Ning Sports Cup, which first edition took place within the framework of the CHIC , and will award design drafts for the style "Made in China". CHIC Segments At CHIC , ten clearly structured trade fair segments showcase the entire spectrum of fashion and lifestyle in China: NEW LOOK (womenswear), IMPULSES (designer), URBAN VIEW (menswear), CHIC TAILORING (bespoke), HERITAGE (leather and fur), CHIC KIDZ, CHIC YOUNG BLOOD (young up-and-coming streetwear labels), SECRET STARS (accessories), Bags & Shoes and FUTURE LINK (innovative developments for the fashion industry). Around 80 exhibitors registered NEW LOOK , the womenswear section at CHIC . The share of womenswear in China's fashion market is 48.1%, making it the strongest fashion segment. Revenue growth in this area is estimated to have risen from by 2.7% this year from 7.6% last year. The area was fully booked at CHIC , the companies used CHIC for customer acquisition and customer loyalty. Exhibitors such as Jore Baudry, ladies' coats, are reporting increased order activity at CHIC , and the continuity of the trade show presence has paid off. With a market share of around 30%, menswear is the second largest segment in the Chinese fashion market. This includes classic men's fashion, smart casuals with a growing denim component and bespoke collections presented in CHIC TAILORING . Solosali, one of the most popular Bespoke labels in China, has received a great deal of attention here. Although the share of children in the Chinese clothing market is only 10%, the sector is experiencing strong growth following full implementation of the two-child policy in 2016. The National Health and Family Planning Commission forecasts a number of newborns from 17.5 to 21.0 million by next year. Baby and toddler clothing is expected to be the most important area for kidswear. The ecological aspect plays an important role for this group, health-compatible materials are a purchase criterion for Chinese consumers. For example, Blara Organic House from Shenzhen, exhibitor at CHIC KIDZ , has geared up for this and offers organic cotton children's clothing. In addition, many exhibitors at CHIC KIDZ highly value visitor feedback as helpful support for adapting their collections to consumer needs. IMPULSES , the design department of CHIC , is considered to be the flagship of Chinese creativity. Designers such as Feng Sansan, winner of the title "China's Top Ten Designer" presented his current collections for women, men and children with traditional Chinese elements. Maggie Ma, who has been present at the CHIC with her label ANJAYLIA for 5 years, used the CHIC for the launch of her label MAGGIE MA aimed at the younger target group. Further highlights for the visitors of IMPULSES were MAO MART homme, exclusive designer collection for women and Wei Jianfei, winner of the CHIC Market Potential Award. In the FASHION JOURNEY international section, the Korean show-in show PREVIEW IN CHINA with 38 brands organized by the Korean Federation of Textile Industries (KOFOTI) presented their satisfaction with the professionalism of the CHIC exhibition platform. An even bigger stake has already been registered for the upcoming March event than in September. The Italian brands also commented positively on their participation in the fair. Supported by the Regione Campania, Italy again provided the largest European participation in CHIC with 18 brands. Brands such as Calpierre, Duedi, Le Ble, DELbyDAY, Eddicuomo, Tiffi with focus on footwear but also menswear and womenswear brands like Bencivenga, Exibit, Giangi Napoli used CHIC as a contact and sales platform, and welcomed many visitors to their stands until the end of the fair. In March 2020, Italy will again be present with a big pavilion, supported by ITA - Italian Trade Agency. "Made in Italy" was covered by China's well-known video blogger BLINGER with more than 22.5 million followers, gaining over 11 million clicks. The leather and fur collections of the ten participants of the Hong Kong Fur Association Pavilion, which presented for the second time at CHIC , met with very positive response from agents and wholesalers from all over China, even distributors of luxury brands were interested in future collaborations. The chairman of the association Rose Ko looks very confidently at the development of the business of its member companies in Mainland China in the future and has already registered for the following CHIC a larger area. Further individual international brands were exhibited in various segments of CHIC , in CHIC YOUNG BLOOD the label Mr. Gugu & Ms. Go from Poland and ZNR Distribution from Belgium, who launched their label Blue Wellington, trendy leather jackets, in China at CHIC and already have registered again for the March event. Morpyn from Korea and SIIJII from Hong Kong presented themselves for the first time on CHIC with elaborate booths. The Morpyn Fashion Show thrilled the audience on the second day of the fair. The Polish brands Kids on the Moon and booso used CHIC KIDZ as an entry point into the Chinese consumer market, as did Mimozah Kids from Canada. MishkaMatreshka from Laboratory in Russia also took the first step to China as part of CHIC and received very positive feedback from potential business partners with the manga style of their shirts. In the area of CHIC Bags & Shoes , Glamoursy from Poland presented themselves for the first time to the Chinese market with an exclusive shoe collection and so did the young shoe and bag label Inyati from Germany. The participation was very successful, Inyati had intensive discussions with buyers, who wanted to order directly at the fair.

International womenswear exhibited in the designer field IMPULSES with NA-Nuh from Poland and in the NEW LOOK segment with Joseph Ribkoff from Canada, who after their launch at the CHIC in March, were able to deepen customer contacts and win new ones. CHIC visitor management CHIC has networked its exhibitors and visitors with numerous matchmaking events at the fair. CHIC has more than 200,000 personalized contacts that are constantly updated and targeted to customers.

Ранее сообщалось, что из-за скандала вокруг фотографии мальчика африканского происхождения в толстовке «Самая крутая обезьянка в джунглях» («Coolest monkey in the jungle») протестующие разгромили несколько магазинов - одним из зачинщиков протеста стал лидер движения «Бойцы за экономическую свободу» (EFF) Джулиус Селло Малема, напоминает Wonderzine.com. "Protesters" in South Africa destroyed an H&M store over that hoodie we talked about this week. pic.twitter.com/17XY36jpuN - Philip DeVeryStableGenius (@PhillyD) 13 января 2018 г.

Между тем волнения не прекращаются. В понедельник активисты атаковали один из крупнейших ТЦ в ЮАР - Mall of Africa. That @hm nonsense of a clothing store is now facing consequences for its racism. All rational people should agree that the store should not be allowed to continue operating in South Africa. Well done to Fighters who physically confronted racism. pic.twitter.com/cgdedYGoOj - Floyd Shivambu (@FloydShivambu) 13 января 2018 г. Напомним, что надпись на толстовке H&M вызвала бурную реакцию в соцсетях, а канадский музыкант The Weeknd объявил, что больше не будет сотрудничать с H&M. При этом, мама мальчика отметила, что считает скандал «раздутым», и призвала пользователей социальных сетей не «поднимать ложную тревогу». Фото: H&M
Image: Victorian by Mary Katrantzou for Villeroy & Boch by Panos Davios Fashion designer Mary Katrantzou is launching a vibrant and colourful tile collection with international ceramics specialist Villeroy & Boch. The collaboration marks Villeroy & Boch’s first designer collaboration in more than 20 years and takes inspiration from recurring themes in Katrantzou’s eponymous fashion label, including butterflies as seen in her 10th-anniversary collection in 2019 and the postage stamp from her spring/summer 2013 collection. Entitled ‘Victorian by Mary Katrantzou,’ the ceramic tile collection is described as an interplay between both respective archival designs, inspired by the art of lepidopterists and the geometry of Victorian tiles, as well as the 19th-century tiles seen on the floor at Villeroy & Boch’s headquarters in Merzig, Germany. There are eight different decor sets (20cm x 20cm) with borders and edges to complete the offering, with butterflies at the heart of the collection, with four vibrant and beautifully coloured butterflies printed on either white or black backgrounds, with either gold, black or perforated borders, reminiscent of a postal stamp. The butterfly tiles have been designed to be used independently or in combination together, as well as with the marble-effect tiles that continue the theme of white, black and gold, which are available in two different finishes - high gloss for walls and polished surface for floors. Commenting on the project, Mary Katrantzou said in a statement: "It’s been a privilege working on ceramics with Villeroy & Boch tiles - an exciting process to imagine and create spaces that people will live in daily. "These designs form part of an individual’s home, where they surround themselves with things they love, creating a feeling of permanence that’s very different to the very nature of fashion. This collaboration allowed me to look at patterns outside the female figure and be guided instead by the power of interiors to create an extension of ones aesthetic." Dr Jorg Schwall, managing director of Villeroy & Boch tiles, added, "As one of the most style-defining companies, Villeroy & Boch is characterised by its love of design excellence. Collaborating with Mary Katrantzou is a natural evolution in taking the brand in a new direction, and offering design aficionados the opportunity to create their own aesthetic using tiles from this inspirational collection." The Victorian by Mary Katrantzou tiles are available to order exclusively via Villeroy & Boch. Prices start from 21 pounds / 16 euros (excluding VAT).

Positive economic growth in China in the context of falling global growth rates Sales driver in terms of fashion, China's egotists, the young consumer generation in focus at CHIC New shows-in show at CHIC: CHIC-TAILORING and CHIC- KIDZ, high-growth market segments CHIC Special Service: VIP meetings with eCommerce platforms, showrooms, agents and buyers for international brands From March 12 to 14, 2019, 1,365 national and international exhibitors with 1,453 brands from 16 countries and regions will attend the CHIC China International Fashion Fair, Asia's largest and most important fashion and lifestyle fair, at 117,200 square meters of exhibition space at the National Exhibition & Convention Center in Shanghai.

Модный дом Prada обвинили в расизме. Покупателей возмутили карикатурные куклы в стиле blackface, которые они обнаружили на аксессуарах компании в одном из магазинов в Нью-Йорке и в Сети, сообщил телеканал CBS News. В рамках новой праздничной маркетинговой кампании люксовый бренд представил линию аксессуаров с «черными» куклами с преувеличенными большими красными губами. Фотографии вызвали жесткую реакцию в социальных сетях. Жительница города Чиньер Эзи (Chinyere Ezie), которая проходила мимо магазина Prada в центре Манхэттена и увидела на витрине то, что позднее назвала «расистской карикатурой». В посте на Facebook она написала, что аж «задрожала от гнева». Представитель Prada Group заявил в пятницу CBS News, что компания «ненавидит расистские образы» и уже убирает этих кукол из продажи. Он отметил, что персонажи из коллекции «Pradamalia» были задуманы как «воображаемые существа» и не должны были подражать карикатурам blackface. Посмотреть эту публикацию в Instagram Woke up on the morning of our fourth birthday to some news about our namesake @prada . The "Pradamalia" collection, produced in collaboration with @2x4inc , features fantasy "lab-created" animals. According to a press release about the collab, the creatures mix up the codes of the house into their features. Many are comparing Otto, a resulting mutation of one of Pradas oldest mascots, the monkey, to Little Sambo, a childrens book character from 1899, who exemplified the pickaninny style of blackface caricature, though other examples from as early as 1769 can be found. The exaggerated stereotypes propagated racism freely back then, but its apparent that the legacy of the harmful imagery still affects how we contextualize racism today. This is surprising from Prada, whos known (at least recently) for the inclusivity of their casting, propelling then unknown models like Anok Yai and Jourdan Dunn into near supermodel status...not to mention casting Naomi Campbell in that 1994 campaign at a time when it was generally deemed risky to cast people of color in international luxury campaigns. Recently, they mounted The Black Image Corporation, an exhibition highlighting the importance and legacy of black creators in American publishing and photography, in both Milan and Miami. Representation is important, but understanding how to navigate the nuances of how the world perceives racism is even more so. One thing is pretty clear though...given recent scandals, luxury brands operating on a massive global scale need more systems in place to avoid controversies like this. A suggestion for now: more diversity on a corporate level for positions that actually hold power in decision making and brand imaging. Prada issued a swift apology on twitter and are in the process of removing the products from display and sale, but no mention on Instagram yet.

Recycling instead of throwing away, paper instead of plastic, organic instead of conventional, vertical instead of horizontal - the idea of sustainability is omnipresent to stop the human-induced pollution of nature.

В то время как нынешние владельцы бренда American Apparel LLC выставили компанию на продажу, основатель этой марки и ее бывший глава Дов Чарни готовится запустить собственный конкурирующий одежный бренд. Ранее Чарни заявлял в комментарии FashionUnited о том, что мечтает выкупить American Apparel, но пока подобных предложений не получал. В настоящее время в США все говорят о том, что Дов уже открывает новое предприятие. В интервью FashionUnited бизнесмен отметил, что действительно новая марка находится на стадии запуска. "Сейчас мы изучаем обстановку и начинаем развитие новой марки, но пока это не афишируем", - сказал Чарни. The Pocket Tee. A 20th century American Icon.

Точные сроки запуска пока не названы, но Дов Чарни отмечает, что это произойдет в ближайшие недели или месяцы. Предприниматель предсказывает, что одежный бренд ждет мгновенный успех. Используя свой прошлый опыт в American Apparel, Чарни и его команда создадут новое дело и усовершенствуют его. "Все наши наработки будут переосмыслены с тем, чтобы мы могли построить то, что будет гораздо лучше", - подчеркивает Чарни. Новая марка будет ориентирована как для мужчин, так и женщин.

Сеть авторских интерьерных салонов премиум сегмента That’s Living вышла на российский рынок, открыв свой дебютный магазин в Сочи. На конец сентября также запланировано открытие салона в Москве. Об этом пишет New Retail.
Недавно директор известного московского дома моды в интервью Порталу легкой промышленности так сформулировал своё видение перспектив выхода российских дизайнеров на итальянский рынок: «Если сравнивать нынешние российские бренды с футболом, то это все равно что заводская команда поедет играть с “Ювентусом”. Пробиться на итальянский рынок одежды просто невозможно, и не надо». Не слишком боевой настрой у наших производителей одежды... Такой взгляд на сложившуюся ситуацию во многом совпадает с тем, как «наши западные партнёры» (как принято их называть) оценивают конкурентоспособность отечественных несырьевых товаров на мировом рынке. Вот, к примеру, как характеризуется нынешний российский экспортный потенциал (в статье о роли России в мировом развитии) на портале Информационного центра НАТО: «За исключением некоторых минеральных ресурсов (и отчасти оружия) у Москвы нет ничего позитивного, что она могла бы предложить миру, и пока, подобно КНДР, она не начинает угрожать миру, привлечь интерес мира к себе ей нечем. А учитывая убыль квалифицированной рабочей силы, недофинансирование науки и возвращение к приоритетной ориентации на потребности ВПК, у России так ничего привлекательного для мира и не появится». Как-то не очень верится в объективность и непредвзятость таких утверждений. Но, может быть, они - и западные журналисты, и директор известного российского ДМ - правы? Думаю - вряд ли, и с этой позицией можно и нужно поспорить. Даже мне, директору провинциального российского ООО, специализирующегося на монтажных работах и выпуске трикотажных изделий, именно из стран НАТО журналисты и специалисты мира моды шлют письма, явно опровергающие вышепроцитированный пассаж натовских «аналитиков», к примеру: Alexander, your designs are STUNNING, breath taking and alluring! You should move to the US and design couture for entertainers - you'd be a big hit there! It is a SHAME that your talent is not being exploited in Russi...

Вслед за Твигги и Джоди Кидд в очередной рекламной кампании Marks & Spencer появятся участники группы Take That.
18-летний американский программист Робби Баррат создал искусственный интеллект, который сгенерировал целую коллекцию для Balenciaga. Для разработки образов Баррат отобрал все лукбуки, фотографии с модных показов, рекламные кампании и онлайн-каталоги за последние два месяца, а программа скомбинировала изображения с помощью алгоритма. Половина получившихся моделей действительно похожа на реальные проекты бренда, однако другая часть еще требует доработки - у многих людей смешаны лица или отсутствуют конечности тела, что выглядит немного жутко, пишет Fancy Journal. Some outfits the Balenciaga AI made that are vastly different than what already exists; • A jumpsuit type piece of clothing (even covering feet)- paired with a coat. • What looks like a small pants-included bag that you fold onto your shin? • An interestingly patterned top pic.twitter.com/yxmIYoNsdm - Robbie Barrat (@DrBeef_) 22 августа 2018 г. «Мне нравится то, что компьютер действительно ничего в этом не смыслит и его совершенно не волнует симметрия», - пишет в своем Твиттере Баррат. Полученные образцы пока нельзя запускать в производство, но, по мнению Робби Баррата, они вполне могут вдохновить дизайнеров. В январе этого года американский бренд Tommy Hilfiger начал работу совместно с компанией IBM и Технологическим институтом моды (FIT) над разработкой искусственного интеллекта, способного создавать коллекции вместо дизайнера, напоминает также Fancy Journal.
Британская газета Mirror рассказала о влиянии музыканта Джорджа Майкла на моду. Издание напоминает, что прически и манеру одеваться участников группы Wham! копировали и мужчины, и женщины. Пик славы коллектива, в состав которого входил Майкл, пришелся на 1980-е годы, и считается, что Wham! олицетворяет ту эпоху. Одним из главных трендов, заданных группой, стали футболки с надписью Choose Life («Выбирай жизнь»). Кроме того, участники группы носили короткие топы, белые костюмы, джинсовую одежду. Джордж Майкл стал любимцем модной индустрии и из-за сотрудничества с главными моделями 1990-х. Например, в клипе Freedom! '90, режиссёром которого выступил Дэвид Финчер, снялись Линда Евангелиста, Наоми Кэмпбелл, Кристи Терлингтон, Синди Кроуфорд и Татьяна Патиц. Сотрудничество таких величин могло стать только суперхитом на десятилетия и главным модным клипом в творчестве певца, отмечает Vogue. Клип на сингл Too Funky стал еще одним выстрелом в сердце всем поклонникам моды - максимум веселья и стиля, все говорили об этом видео в 1992 году, напоминает издание. К обновленному составу героинь-моделей Майкла в лице Тайры Бэнкс, Нади Ауэрманн и Эстель Лефебюр присоединилась и Линда Евангелиста из команды Freedom! '90. Действие разворачивается на подиуме в костюмах, которые для видео сшил Тьерри Мюглер. Не стало Джорджа Майкла: модный мир вспоминает музыканта в соцсетях Напомним, Джордж Майкл скончался 25 декабря в возрасте 53 лет. "Я горжусь, что когда-то стала частью видеоклипа Freedom. Он так вдохновлял нас", - написала в Инстаграм Синди Кроуфорд. "Это слишком большая потеря. Джордж, человек с золотым голосом ангела", - отметила Наоми Кэмпбелл.

Кристи Терлингтон: "Такое печальное Рождество, без тебя. Спасибо за твою душевную музыку и открытое сердце". Модель Коко Роша также сделала записать в Инстаграм: "Не могу поверить, что его больше нет. Джордж Майкл был невероятно талантлив, он был иконой в мире музыки и моды. 'Freedom' навсегда останется гимном для моделей, и я ручаюсь, что эта песня вдохновляла всех манекенщиц в течение последних 26 лет". Дизайнер Донателла Версаче: "Прощай, мой дорогой друг. Ты никогда не будешь забыт". Goodbye my dear friend. He is waiting for you in heaven. Фото опубликовано Donatella Versace (@donatella_versace) Дек 25 2016 в 11:29 PST Дизайнер Стелла Маккартни отметила, что черпала вдохновение в музыке Майкла: "Джордж... Ты вдохновлял меня, это было настоящее великолепие... В наших душах такая грусть. Я так рада, что была знакома с тобой. Какое печальное завершение Рождества".
