The fashion master cleanse
Photo courtesy of Heidi HackemerFashion contradictions are palpable every September and October, when 80-degree days collide with 50-degree fronts and sandals bump boots on the morning commute. But irony hangs even heavier in the air this year, with the approach of a second round of what started as a double dare between Kenosha native Heidi Hackemer, who works in advertising in New York, and colleague Tamsin Davies. Through Twitter and Facebook banter, the two became intrigued by the notion of a uniform ― as a means of enhancing creativity. "My friend and I got into a conversation about how much superfluous time we spend on what we wear," Hackemer,cheap discount canada goose jacket, 31, said. "We were looking at Tom Ford and Steve Jobs, who have these uniforms that remove that stress from their life. Tamsin Davies said,cheap canada goose down coat, 'Do you want to wear one outfit for a year?' I said, 'Are you crazy? No!'" Reasoning their way to six items or less, Hackemer and Davies pledged themselves to that number of garments for 31 days. Exceptions and exclusions applied, including undergarments,canada goose down parkas, pajamas, workout clothes ― "items we wear out of necessity,cheap discount canada goose down parkas," Hackemer said ― as well as that pillar of personal style, accessories (including shoes). Although austerity and advertising wouldn't seem to go hand in hand, many of their colleagues at other agencies elected to participate. So did non-advertising disciples as far-flung as Mumbai and Seoul,cheap discount canada goose jacket, who posted "pain points" and paradoxes of wearing the same garments day in and day out. On the positive side,canada goose down jacket, some said they looked more polished because of an added brooch or belt to distinguish Monday's attire from Tuesday's. Among the pitfalls was trading one kind of hassle/consumption (clothing purchases) for another (frequent laundering/water usage). "Six items or less was something we could wrap our heads around but would still test us," said Hackemer, who alternated among a black dress, black jeggings, black tank top, black blazer, gray skirt and gray cutoff jean shorts for the first cycle. It ended in July, to some initial relief ― "the dress I got sick of, even though it's a great dress,canada goose clothing," Hackemer said. But what resonated in the aftermath were testimonials of Zen-like enlightenment, expressed by the 100 or so "Sixers," as they came to call themselves. About:

62nd Primetime Emmy Awards Party Report
With a weekend of starry fetes second only to those of Oscar week in Los Angeles, the parties of the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards lost little ground this season against news of a still flagging U.S. economy. For Luxist, ice began clinking in the cocktail glasses of Emmy-bound celebs at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, August 27, at the Judith Leiber store on North Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Maria Bello and Patricia Arquette were co-hosting a "Don't Forget Haiti" benefit. Yes, Hollywood has a heart. And scores of Emmy hopefuls zipped by on their way to full-fledged Emmy events. Bello wore a top by Michael Kors and a Leiber "Don't Forget Haiti" pendant as she greeted guests at the door. How did Arquette and Bello team up for the Emmy weekend benefit? "I saw her a couple of weeks after the earthquake in Haiti," Bello told Luxist. Arquette then mentioned that she is currently "working on a project to help refurbish shipping containers as homes in Haiti." She was wearing a vintage Chanel suit. "Anything past last year is vintage,cheap discount canada goose down coats," she quipped. "So I'm vintage." Guests included Rosario Dawson, Malin Akerman, Katharine McPhee, and Autumn Reeser, of "Entourage," who told Luxist that she would be hosting a baby shower during the Emmy Awards. "I didn't realize it was Emmy weekend," she admitted. Reeser's "Entourage" co-star Emmanuelle Chriqui mentioned that, over the weekend, she would be supporting her real-life manager Emily Gerson Saines (also present), "nominated because she produced the HBO film 'Temple Grandin.'" Saines and her project would win big on Sunday. Entertainment Weekly also hosted a pre-Emmy party for "Women in Film" on Friday at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood. The pool area of the hotel was converted into an impromptu red carpet. Fueled by mini burgers and new flavors of Vitaminwater, lemonade, and pomegranate, the party raged on in a trellised back courtyard of the restaurant until 1:00 a.m. Elisabeth Moss from "Mad Men," above, innocently butchered the name of the late French designer she was wearing, Herve Leger (pronounced Er-vay Lay-jay) as if he had been an all American: "Harvey Legger." "This is my third Emmy Awards,Canada Goose Snow Mantra Parka," admitted the young actress. "But it's always scary."
"We're actually going this year," said an excited Brooke Burke. "'Dancing with the Stars' is nominated," she added. "I had my final fitting today. The hardest part was choosing the jewelry. There is so much amazing jewelry." On Saturday,cheap discount canada goose outwear, Luxist investigated the P.F. Chang "Frozen Moments" gift lounge backstage in the basement level of the Nokia Theater, where the Emmy Awards would be held the next day. "I'm wearing Alexander McQueen tomorrow," said "True Blood" star Stephen Moyer while raiding the black fabric-draped gifting suite with Anna Paquin, his new bride and "True Blood" co-star, and a modest entourage. When someone attempted to hand Paquin swag, she took a step back. "I'm not carrying any of this," she said. "I have pride issues." Instead, Sherpas with blown out hair carried her brightly patterned Vera Bradley bags that grew progressively more plump with an AquaSwiss watch, Marchon eyewear, and Vintage Revolution jeans. When Moyer was asked to write about a moment he'd like to have frozen in time on a scroll of paper taken from inside a giant fortune cookie,cheap discount canada goose parkas, he penned, referring to his and Anna's characters on "True Blood": "The first time Bill and Sookie touched hands." The young couple, who mentioned that they had yet to have time for a honeymoon,cheap discount canada goose down parkas, also received two nights each at the Ritz-Carlton Monarch Beach. Spies at the Vera Bradley luggage booth told Luxist that Jewel, who would be singing a tribute to late actors at the Awards on Sunday, took a colorfully patterned Vera Bradley cooler for a cross-country motorcycle trip with her husband. A newly buff Ricky Gervais, above, claimed that he's been power-walking in the hills of Hampstead Heath. And Jane Lynch, who would win for "Glee," was wearing her character's characteristic red track suit. That night at Spago Beverly Hills, NBC partied on with Kathy Griffin, "Law and Order"'s Mariska Hargitay, and Jane Krakowski of "30 Rock." The yummy spread included both a raw bar and a sundae station. Padma Lakshmi and the judges of "Top Chef" tucked into the gummy bears.
Sunday, on a broad sweep of sun-roasted red carpet leading into the Nokia Theater, Nelson Ellis, who plays Lafayette Reynolds on "True Blood," was wearing a black velvet tux jacket from Armani chosen by his aunt. "We didn't know it was going to be 200 degrees," he said. Cheryl Hines from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" then shared her big drama of the morning: "My dog snuck out," she said. Fortunately, her neighbors nabbed him. "30 Rock"'s Katrina Bowden, right, form fit a resplendent purple Max Azria creation. A chunky flower made of diamonds on one finger was so sparkly that she told Luxist, "This one's going to be hard to give back." On the carpet, Steve Carell stepped on a woman's train, did a football victory dance to back away, and then apologized profusely. Backstage after snagging an award, Kyra Sedgwick mentioned that she had gone to "get waxed" that morning, "just for this. . . ." She then raised her arm and did the royal wave. George Clooney, who won a humanitarian award, said that to relax that morning, "John Krasinski came over to my house, and we played basketball." "It's fun back in the green room," added Clooney, who attended with his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis, an Italian underwear model. "At one point I was standing next to Tom Selleck and Al Pacino. And I'm suddenly 14 again." Meanwhile, Tom Hanks, below, a producer of "The Pacific" answered a veteran journalist excitedly, caught himself, and then apologized, "Sorry for dropping the 'F bomb.'"
Luxist interrogated his wife, Rita Wilson, about her elaborate Prada getup with a crystal overlay. "The dress underneath is a cotton sheath,cheap canada goose down coats," she answered. "It's crystal but very comfortable." Even her platform heels had large crystals attached that jangled as she walked. When Claire Danes appeared, holding an Emmy for her title role as Temple Grandin, she announced, speaking of her Armani Privé column dress, "It's a Barbie dress . . . and we're going to party." Later at the HBO bash, Autumn Reeser told Luxist that her shoes had been killing her at the Entertainment Weekly fete late Friday night and that her friend had "really loved her baby shower that afternoon." And here she was late Sunday night, back out in a chic short party dress with large frills around the shoulders by designer Rachel Gilbert. HBO was a big winner at the 62nd Emmy Awards for "Temple Grandin," and Pacino's role as Dr. Kevorkian in "You Don't Know Jack." The cable network decorated the Pacific Design Center as if Lilly Pulitzer, the queen of Palm Beach pink and green, was visiting the casbah. Real palm trees matched the acres of green jungle-pattern carpet. Pink plush leaf and zebra-patterned fabric covered the walls and banquettes. And, in the distance, exotic dancers stood on pedestals cantilevered out of high windows. Anna Paquin, on the arm of Stephen Moyer,cheap discount canada goose jacket, had traded the gold breast plate and epaulettes of her edgy McQueen gown on the red carpet at the Emmy awards for a simple black cocktail dress and halo band in her hair. She beamed as she told reporters that married life was . . . "Amazing!" About:

Barefoot Vibram FiveFingers
The ever changing fashion world is full of innovative ideas that some ideas may seem so ahead of its time. After the famous clown-like bulbous Crocs,TNF, comes another fashion forward trend — the Vibram FiveFingers shoes– a glovelike footwear with separate pockets for each of those five little twinkies. It looks much more ridiculous and ugly than its predecessors but the market is not bothered. In fact,The North Face Men's Denali Hood, Vibram FiveFingers are the latest must haves for every certified shoe collector. CNN reports that Shoe manufacturer now struggles to meet the market demand. The company has expanded from one factory to five this year and tripled the size of its Boston warehouse. The so light weight FiveFingers, which sell for $75 to $125, made its debut back in 2006 but has gotten the public attention just recently when runners at elite events such as the Boston Marathon had their toes stuff in it. About 90% of Barefoot Vibram FiveFingers shoes are shipped to the American market. Last year,Canada Goose Outlet, their sales jumped to $11 million compared to the paltry $430,000 in 2006. This year,Canada Goose Jackets, Vibram company revenue soared to a mighty $50 million in their other running, training, climbing, hiking, and trekking shoe models alone. But it seems that the iconoclast Vibram FiveFingers shoes are not only making waves in the west coast of the globe, it is also becoming a popular commodity in China, where counterfeit products are very rampant. And that is exactly the major problem the company is facing right now. Counterfeit FiveFingers are being sold in a cheaper price. The Vibram company is currently working with authorities to end these illegal channels and protect their brand. With Vibram FiveFingers runner can have almost the same running experience as if they were touching the ground with their own naked feet– allowing runners to feel everything and have a better grasp of their surroundings. . It improves the both speed and style. Vibram FiveFingers is bare that it also allow air to circulate inside making the feet able to breathe. The FiveFingers story started six years ago when Robert Fliri, a industrial designer and avid mountaineer approached Vibram company–an Italian company that has been making soles for high-end hiking boots for 75 years– with an idea. He proposed an ultra lightweight shoe,Canada Goose Chilliwack Parka, almost like a glove but for the foot. Fliri believe this would capture the exact experience of going barefoot while protecting the wearer from all the abraisions and dirt on the road. Moreover, Fliri believed that his ergonomic barefoot shoes would enhance the wearer’s range of motion,Canada Goose Chilliwack Parka, balance, and posture. A scientific study in a national journal has indeed confirm the merits of the barefoot shoe’s structural excellence but Podiatrists are quick to warn buyers that the barefoot FiveFingers may not be for everyone. People who don’t usually run or have serious foot problems, diabetic or obese people should be more cautious in using them. But despite these warnings, the Vibram FiveFingers are still selling like hotcakes. Everyone from street dwellers to globe trekkers is putting their toes into them. It has become a collecting hobby for men like women collecting the latest Jimmy Choos. About:

Fashion's Night Out returns in more placesYou didn't get your cocktail poured by guest bartenders Mary-Kate or Ashley Olsen at the first Fashion's Night Out? This year, you could try tailgating with Tommy Hilfiger. The second annual shopping event, created largely by Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour to fuel retail traffic in stores during the height of the fall shopping season, is planned for Sept 10 during New York Fashion Week. The fashion party, which focused on New York last year, is now global with nearly 1,000 retailers, designers, beauty brands and celebrities offering special events or discounts. Events are also planned in Australia, China, Greece, India, Russia and Turkey,the north face sale, among other countries. Some consumers will hear musical performances; other shoppers will be fed. Fashion insiders will give a Hollywood makeover to some shoppers, and some will go home with bags of freebies or special-edition merchandise. Some New York highlights: A best-in-show designer dog catwalk at Bergdorf Goodman, recreating red-carpet moments with Marchesa and Frederic Fekkai at Henri Bendel,arc teryx gamma mx jacket, supermodel posing lessons from Bar Rafaeli at Giorgio Armani, and a 25th anniversary party celebrating Naomi Campbell's career at Dolce & Gabbana ― Campbell has committed to come and sign T-shirts. "It has been a remarkable journey since Fashion's Night Out debuted last year," Wintour said in a statement. "The enthusiasm and creativity with which retailers and designers have approached this year's celebration in New York City, the country, and around the world, are truly inspiring. I am delighted that shoppers will have such an extraordinary night to enjoy fashion." ShopperTrak, an independent reporter of consumer traffic, estimated that the inaugural FNO saw a 50 percent jump in retail foot traffic. Other boldface names with scheduled appearances include Bryan Adams, Victoria Beckham, Mary J.

It'll be held at Lincoln Center,arc'teryx sidewinder, which later in the week becomes home to the Fashion Week tents that designers will use to preview next spring's styles. About:
The Selfridges Shoe Galleries are coming
You’d be forgiven for thinking, like me, that Selfridges new "Shoe Galleries" could win the prize for the most self-important shoe shop moniker. But,arc'teryx sidewinder, like me, you might want to think again. Saturday was my first visit to Selfridges on Oxford Street for some time, and although I’ve heard some chatter about the impending launch of the world’s biggest shoe department, I must have successfully filtered it out to any great degree. So when I came blustering out of the car park and found myself smack-bang in middle of their new shoe empire, for a moment I was totally disorientated. Gone the harsh lighting, bright white shiny surfaces and chaotic displays, replaced by beautiful parquet flooring, dimmed lights and the kind of sales assistants you usually see in the chicest Bond Street boutiques. Then there’s the shoes. Let’s state one thing up front here. If you have any kind of shoe "collecting"-related issue, you must never go here. I am not now, and never have been a shoe person, but it’s like they knew I was coming. If I was one of those mythical, Carrie Bradshaw type women who can afford to say "What the hell, a girl needs shoes",canada goose ladies expedition parka, those sales assistants could have comfortably relieved me of a good £3000. And that’s before we even get started on my three-year-old daughter who accompanied me and took more than a shine to a pair of pink, patent Prada pumps, a pair of Marc Jacobs ballet pumps with a mouse’s face on the toes and some crystal studded platforms (origin forgotten), totalling around £1500. With claims that they’ll be stocking 55,000 pairs of shoes at any one time with a mere 4,000 pairs on display, I advise you to proceed with extreme caution. All the old faithful are there, from Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci and Jimmy Choo to Christian Louboutin and Gina, but there are a lot of less shoe-centric labels on offer too, such as Céline,arc'teryx alpha sv jacket, Chloé,canada goose constable parka, Dries Van Noten to Marni. Most exciting for me is the addition of some of the forthcoming, hipper brands such as Acne, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang and Opening Ceremony who are harder to come by in the UK. Kurt Geiger, who actually run the whole shooting (shoe-ting?) match at Selfridges and many other prestigious department stores, naturally have a great presence too,canada goose parka, and although I’d love to say at this point "so there’s something for every budget", I’m afraid Kurt wants to play with the big boys these days,arc teryx jackets, so don’t expect much change out of £300 if you’re paying them a visit. Rest assured though, Topshop and River Island have both been invited to join the party, they’re just still in make-up right now. With several more mini boutiques still to open before the grand launch on September 16th (my birthday, how thoughtful!), plus a campaign shot by Bruce Weber - coincidentally inspired by Selfridges’ creative director Alannah Weston’s three year old daughter’s obsession with trying on her mother’s shoes - prepare to be truly amazed. Once you see it, it’s obvious why they are calling it the Shoe Galleries,the north face outlet stores, even if you don’t like shoes you’ve got to admit it’s a work of art. About:
New CEO wants retailer to target homeowners doing
When Laura J. Alber was named chief executive officer of Williams-Sonoma in January,arc'teryx alpha sv jacket, she got some advice from the company's 94-year-old founder, Charles E. "Chuck" Williams: "Don't change it. Make it better." If only it were that simple. The housing slump and sagging consumer confidence have hammered the home goods industry. Williams-Sonoma, which besides its namesake stores also owns Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids,canada goose chilliwack parka, and West Elm, has seen sales fall for the past two years. While the San Francisco-based retailer expects revenues to rise to as much as $3.37 billion this year, 9 percent over 2009, that's well below the record $3.94 billion of 2007. Alber, 41, a Williams-Sonoma veteran who ran Pottery Barn during the housing boom, says her strategy for tougher times involves snatching share by expanding West Elm and boosting online sales for the whole company. While a slump in home buying means less demand for couches, espresso machines, and bed linen, Alber is counting on Americans to renovate the homes they have. "When you start painting,the north face outlet locations," she says, "it becomes a huge project because everything else then looks bad." During her tenure at Pottery Barn from 2002 to 2006, Alber oversaw an expansion from 172 stores to 289. Now she wants to do the same with West Elm, which sells moderately priced modern furniture in 37 stores, largely on the U.S. coasts. Alber has broadened West Elm's offerings to appeal to a wider demographic. She stocked $7.99 soap dishes for budget-minded consumers who might otherwise head to Ikea while adding goods from name designers such as a $64 holiday decoration by David Stark. "West Elm is a brand that has national potential," says Joseph Feldman,arc teryx sidewinder, an analyst with Telsey Advisory Group. "It plays well with the post-college urban consumer." Alber's big challenge, he says: finding good store sites. Since West Elm appeals to urbanites, its stores require prime street addresses that are harder to come by than space in a mall. Alber's targeting of owners upgrading their homes makes sense, says Feldman,canada goose expedition jacket, who estimates that four-fifths of home furnishings sales stem from renovations. The longer a family stays put, the more it's likely to spend, and on bigger-ticket items, he says. Williams-Sonoma says online sales of home furnishings will grow by $2.5 billion in the U.S. over the next five years, and Alber wants a big chunk of that growth. Her company dominates home furnishings online, with $943 million in Web sales last year, more than triple that of its nearest rival, Crate & Barrel, says Matt Nemer, a Wells Fargo analyst. Williams-Sonoma's exclusive merchandise makes it "Amazon-proof," Nemer says, because shoppers can't easily compare prices on the Web. And the 52 million names the retailer has collected partly through its catalog operation give it marketing punch. For example, it used data collected on buyers of its cribs to later sell toddler and twin beds, then teen goods, and now items in Pottery Barn's dorm catalog. Still, the retailer faces plenty of challenges. Williams-Sonoma Home, which sells luxury home goods,arc teryx stingray jacket, is struggling. Alber will close two West Elm stores in coming months; she's looking for better locations. And she faces stiff competition from Crate & Barrel's 10-year-old CB2 stores,arc'teryx sidewinder sv, which target the same urban stylistas who shop at West Elm. Five years ago the red-hot home market would have made such problems seem small. Says Cowen & Co. analyst Laura Champine: "You're probably not going to get another housing boom like that." About:
Klutziness has its advantages"Warning! Walks into walls" reads a T-shirt that my friends tell me to get. The fact that it so aptly describes me is sometimes depressing. ,arc teryx jacketMy mom told me that, when I was a toddler, I was often so busy looking around at other things that I wouldn't watch where I was going. That would often result in my colliding with solid objects, like walls. Unfortunately for my bruised and battered body, not much has changed. Case in point: I can be walking along, minding my own business, when I suddenly trip, which usually ends in a fall, injury or a loss of whatever various items I was carrying. Was there anything to trip over? Likely not. My friends call me a klutz,arc teryx stingray jacket, which means I am maladroit, a walking disaster and an accident waiting to happen. My purse is full of Band-Aids, ibuprofen and triple antibiotic ointment. I nearly always sport at least a few bruises. I also frequently have bandages on my hands, which makes it difficult to use the fine motor skills that I have been honing since infancy, leading me to drop more things. You may begin to pity me at this point, either with the empathetic sense of someone who has had similar experiences, or perhaps with the grateful knowledge of having been blessed with a little thing called coordination. If you happen to be one of the latter, I must say that I feel sorry for you. You see, though being a klutz is dangerous,arc teryx sidewinder jacket, and can lead to very painful or embarrassing experiences, it can also be hilarious. I like to believe that I have a little bit of Charlie Chaplin or Lucille Ball in me. They had the amazing skill to use physical comedy to their advantage. They could trip, fall and drop things, and people wouldn't think less of them for it. The fact that you recognize their names reveals that being clumsy can be an advantage, at least as far as fame is concerned. I like to think that being uncoordinated keeps me humble. Every time I start getting proud of myself for something, and start feeling good,arc'teryx backpack, I do something that makes me look ridiculous. For example, one day I was finishing up work and was taking a cash drawer upstairs to count the money. The fact that I was carrying something that would make a mess if I dropped it was hazardous enough, but add some stairs,canada goose expedition parka, the distraction of chatting with a co-worker, and voila! I tripped up the steps. I'm quite convinced that there's no such thing as an embarrassing moment if you can laugh at yourself. I've lived through countless incidents where most people would have been thoroughly mortified, and I still came out in a decent mood. That's also a testament to my short attention span and selective memory skills. I tend to forget things that may embarrass me, in lieu of remembering the funny parts. There's also a bit of satisfaction to be had when you are able to put a smile on someone's face. I love to brighten a person's day and make them laugh or smile. Sometimes it comes at the expense of my dignity, but bringing joy into someone's life is worth the price. You never know if someone just needs a little humor to get through a difficult day. We all need to laugh,canada goose chilliwack parka, at others and at ourselves. Humor is a big business. Americans spend a lot of money each year on funny movies and watching comedians. Evidently, we all enjoy a lighter form of entertainment on occasion, especially when it seems reality can be depressing. I've concluded that being graceful is overrated. Even though it would be great to not drop things so often,north face jackets, and get hurt all the time, I'm learning the advantages to being a klutz. Instead of becoming embarrassed when I trip or drop something, I can use humor to brighten someone's day. So if you happen to fall into the category of uncoordinated individuals, lighten up! You can have fun with your clumsiness, and bring some joy into someone's life. For me, that is no laughing matter. About:{ صفحه قبل } { صفحه 1 از 56 } { صفحه بعد } |
