But as the half-marathon championship is the official central region of the Road Runners Club of America, it has attracted over the Midwest, he said.

TEXTE-S & P Summary: LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA

Notes on luxury goods producers and distributors French LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA reflect the views of Standard & Poor's Rating "of" strong "group risk profile of the company and" modest "financial risk profile as Standard & Poor's define terms. With an unmatched portfolio of luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, and a strong distribution network and diversified LVMH has recorded double-digit organic revenue growth since 2010. The group has a € 1 billion discretionary cash flow every year we hold strong. Moreover, the fiscal policy of the LVMH moderate, as shown his history of strong financial measures. In addition, the group decided to use the equity in order to finance part of the acquisition of Italian jeweler Bulgari in 2011. Chanel Evening Bags S & P's base case scenario, the operating system We believe that LVMH is a sales growth of over 15% achieved this year. He began 2012 with an extraordinary power: organically a whopping 26% of sales, 12%. Although we have not excluded that LVMH can slow strong revenue growth, we believe that the favorable economic growth in luxury goods on the back of strong growth in the emerging markets will continue to support sales. S & P cash flows for the base case scenario and capital structure Despite a likely increase in working capital and capital expenditure levels (capex), we expect discretion of cash flow is usually less than EUR 1 billion in the coming years. Therefore missing share repurchases and acquisitions of large, we expect the ratio of adjusted funds from Standard & Poor operations (FFO) and net debt of LVMH will increase sharply in 2012. We believe it to be far beyond our minimum of 50% for the current ratings. Liquidity Short-term rating of "A-1". This reflects our long-term credit rating business and our view that the liquidity of the LVMH group strongly in our criteria. We expect sources easily meet the needs of more than 1.6 times between 2012 and 2013, and to recognize the lack of financial obligations. We believe that the following sources of liquidity in 2012: - About 5 billion years into FFO; - A cash balance of around € 2.6 billion at 30 June 2012; - Lines of undrawn confirmed credit lines of € 3.2 billion at 30 June 2012, including commercial paper backup of the group (CP) and - Demonstrated ability to use a regular issuer of the financial markets. Compared with the estimated requirements for the following period: - EUR 4.1 billion in debt repayment by June 2012, including € 2.6 billion for CP; - The annual working capital and investment in line with 2011 levels and A dividend of around € 1.4 billion a year -. Perspective The positive outlook reflects the possibility that we may update LVMH when it reported strong sales growth, generate free cash flow and adjusted FFO to realize its net debt by more than 60% on the long term. We expect that discretionary cash flow EUR 1 billion in the coming years not exceed. We could revise the outlook to stable if LVMH is able to keep its ratio of adjusted FFO to net debt of about 60%. We believe that the most important factor weakening acquisitions, this ratio could be significantly below our guidance of 50% for the current ratings. LVMH is structurally strong cash generator to publish managing free cash flow over € 2 billion, even in a difficult year as 2009. We believe that the group be able to keep FFO net debt of about 50%, even though the gross margin by 200 basis points and big sales contract 10%, which is an unlikely scenario in our opinion, fallen.

Dries van Noten Gives Grunge a High Fashion Makeover for Spring 2013

The Clothes: Grunge gone high fashion. We’ve seen a lot of ’90s rehash from designers this season but this was the best interpretation of the decade I’ve seen
so far. Dries Van Noten took Seattle’s plaid flannel button down and made it sheer and sexy. Plaid then made its way onto loose pajama pants, dresses and long
skirts and all of it was worn together: Plaid on plaid on plaid. Yet somehow, it worked. And when it wasn’t plaid, Van Noten, who is known for his prints,
sprinkled in some florals–on sheer dusters and maxi dresses worn over plaid looks. Van Noten also turned out some of the best examples of pajama dress we’ve
seen: A silk bathrobe was tucked into a busy skirt covered in gold fringe–perfect for the girl who partied too hard the night before and woke up 10 minutes
before she had to run off to the next party. The vibe was relaxed, cozy and sexy all at the same time.
The Hair & Makeup: According to a tweet from Style.com, dark roots were painted on so stylist Paul Hanlon could achieve the “Courtney Love in Hole” look he was
going for. Lips were a dark, matte red and many of the models wore white-framed sunglasses (because they were so chillax-ed OK?)
The Soundtrack: Since I have to use a Blackberry in Paris because Verizon and my iPhone 4 won’t cooperate, I couldn’t Shazam it. So I’ll have to rely on the
Wall Street Journal‘s Meenal Mistry who informs that it was: Amy Winehouse’s ‘Back to Black’ covered by The Cribs, the Breeders and Sonic Youth’s
‘Superstar.’ “Dries Van Noten had best soundtrack so far,” she tweeted. We’d have to agree.
The Vibe: For the past few seasons Dries van Noten has shown at the Hotel de Ville–the grandest most gilded most Baroque venue you could imagine in Paris. So it
was fitting for this high fashion take on grunge that he switched it up and showed in a stark industrial space that felt like a parking garage. Also a thing
about a Dries show: Everyone fangirls-out and wears Dries. So everyone looks awesome.

In Paris, Restos for Fashion’s Restless

Coffee is having something of a fashionable moment in Paris, a city long derided for its substandard roasts. And at the vanguard of the bean revolution are David

 Flynn and Nicolas Clerc of the hot new cafe Télescope, which proved an instant hit when it opened behind the Palais Royal’s illustrious arcades in April. Clerc,

 a Parisian photographer, and Flynn, the American co-founder of the monthly barista throwdown Frog Fight, also happen to be very attuned to the city’s evolving

 culinary scene. They’re as discerning about the food they eat as the coffee they brew and drink.

 Their cafe caters to a style-conscious crowd and is surrounded by independent designers, vintage shops and international labels, including Marc Jacobs, Kitsuné,

 Rick Owens and Stella McCartney. So this week, Clerc and Flynn are steeling themselves for the Paris Fashion Week throngs, who, in between shows, will be asking

 themselves — and their baristas — the eternal question: Where should we eat? Here’s what Clerc and Flynn recommend.

 Le Bal Café
 Before teaming up with Clerc, Flynn worked as a barista at this art space and cafe. He can speak firsthand about the quality of the ingredients used for the

 Anglo-inspired menu (which rotates daily). While most people know Le Bal for its above-par coffee and weekend brunch, Flynn insists “its real secret is dinner”

 (6 impasse de la Défense, 18th Arrondissement).

 Kunitoraya 2
 The more gussied-up outpost of the Japanese udon haven of the same name, Kunitoraya 2 is literally Télescope’s next-door neighbor. Convenience aside, the two

 say it’s a Paris standout: “Hard to beat the excellence of Japanese food and service with a classic French bistro setting,” said Flynn (5 rue Villedo, 1st

 Arrondissement).

 Roseval
 The chefs Michael Greewold and Simone Tondo, of the Chateaubriand and Rino kitchens respectively, pooled their culinary acumen and opened Roseval earlier this

 summer, a neo-bistro in the still gritty but refreshingly dynamic Menilmontant neighborhoood just below Belleville. Clerc says that part of the restaurant’s

 charm, in addition to its fantastic menu and wine pairings, comes from its bare-bones décor: “It’s beautifully designed — nothing but two fantastic lamps!

 Everything here is done with taste and simplicity.” Reservations recommended (1 rue d’Eupatoria, 20th Arrondissement).

 Song Heng
 As in most international cities, Asian fare in Paris is best when consumed from unadorned holes in the wall or to-go joints. At this Vietnamese canteen in the

 northern Marais, menu options are limited to pho or the bo bun, which is billed as some of the best in the city. The only real choice, Clerc jokes, comes from

 the portion size: “enormous or gigantic!” Elbow-to-elbow seating, lunch service only (3 rue Volta, Third Arrondissement).

 Sardegna a Tavola
 Authentic Sardinian dishes, each of irreproachable quality, and a gregarious welcome from the owner Tonino Simbula make it easy to overlook the campy décor at

 this old Right Bank favorite. “I love Tonino because his food is like him: straightforward!,” says Clerc, who suggests ordering the succulent gnocchi with

 fennel sausages, the grouper carpaccio or, if particularly ravenous, the roasted baby lamb. Lunch and dinner service, book ahead (1 rue de Cotte, 12th

 Arrondissement).

 L’Entrée des Artistes
 Chiefly known for its knockout cocktails and a wine list filled with organic and biodynamic options, this laid-back 11th Arrondissement bar tops Flynn’s late-

 night dining list for its simple, small plates (charcuterie, burrata, foie gras) and old-school style. Drinks and food served until 2 a.m. (8 rue de Crussol,

 11th Arrondissement).

2012 Emmys Fashion: Who Wore What

Movie stars are not like you and me. But TV actresses? Not so far off. What always makes the red carpet at the Emmys so very appealing is the fact that some of

 these show ponies are short and maybe even a little stubby — in a good way. Seeing our favorite near mortals is actually enlightening and not just intimidating.

 Take the nominated funny ladies. Tina Fey went regal and looked stunning in a deep burgundy strapless Vivienne Westwood column gown with an architectural bodice.

 Her tastefully teased upswept hairstyle lent a few inches to her frame and rendered her someone you wouldn’t dare disrespect. Amy Poehler — fresh off a break-

 up from her husband Will Arnett — smartly opted for sexy in a sequined Stella McCartney halter gown that proved she hasn’t been hibernating with vats of

 Haagen-Dazs. Kristen Wiig, bedecked in a creamy, diaphanous Balenciaga that contrasted with her newly raven hair, paired her dress with sandy suede pumps that

 made me wonder if she said, “Screw the pedicure” this morning and slept in. Um, who can’t relate to that eleventh-hour decision?

 When it came to color trends, red, silver and blue easily won out. Nominee Mayim Bailik in Pamella Roland (looking like your favorite cousin at a wedding),

 voluptuous Kat Dennings in J. Mendel (looking more like your husband’s favorite cousin) and Gretchen Mol all

 chose variations on the hue. Lucy Liu, outfitted in a deco-inspired and armor-like metal Versace, claimed that her dress was “heavy.” I suspect her gown also

 reflected the merciless sun on anyone nearby with the intensity of a hair removal laser. Nominee Connie Britton — wearing a fabulous Andrew Gn gown with a

 halter trimmed in crystals and a chic belt — shone like a beacon of glamour for fortysomething women. Ditto for Jane Krakowski.

 The ladies in blue category swept the farthest and widest though. Among them, the nominated Sofia Vergara, in a deep turquoise sequined Zuhair Murad gown with a

 back that showed off the dimples above her posterior, came out on top. That woman works a dress like a farmer works an ox! Hayden Panettiere’s sari-like blue

 tulle and embroidered gold brocade Marchesa gown felt like a bit too much fabric for such a young star, though it still stood out.

 I can’t say that I loved the voluminous silhouette of nom Zooey Deschanel’s poufy powder blue Reem Acra, but she clearly wanted a dress that knew how to twirl.

 My least favorite? Heidi Klum’s sea foam blue sexpot dress from Parisian newcomer Alexandre Vauthier. When you look like Klum, you really shouldn’t try so

 hard. Or match your earrings and shoes precisely to your gown.

 This year, E!’s red carpet coverage included their “stiletto cam”, which revealed many red, contorted toes and aching arches. Most of the actresses wore

 skyscrapers by either Christian Louboutin or Jimmy Choo. Even pregnant Emmy winner Claire Danes paired her saffron Lanvin draped gown with four-inch gold Barbara

 Bui sandals. E!’s newly introduced “manicam” — a silly little box that showed off actresses manicures and resembled a tarantula’s terrarium — was a weird

 but canny addition. At this point, what else are you going to ask stars on the red carpet: “What deodorant are you wearing?” The end result was that we learned

 that Sarah Paulson wore Essie’s “sole mate” and Emmy victor Julia Louis-Dreyfus opted for their “berry hard.” Dennings went more Goth with OPI’s “Lincoln

 Park after dark.” Can’t swing the Fred Leighton 14-karat ring? Get the nail polish instead.

 But just when you sucked in your stomach and started to think, “I can do this too”, a movie star showed up. Nicole Kidman – ever the alabaster thoroughbred

 with her great mane long legs and nary a sun spot — strode across the red carpet and ruined it for everyone. Her sleek white Antonio Berardi gown with a burst

 of striking blue sequins was gorgeously fitted and an overall knockout. Not only did she make all the TV stars look a bit like commercial extras, she made me

 reach for the phone and order a pizza.

 Well, we may not be ready for our close-ups, but we can always get a damn manicure.

 Here’s who wore what Sunday:

 Christina Hendricks
 A strapless, oyster-hued Christian Siriano with a cinched belt and pleated bodice

 Julie Bowen
 A lime green silk faille trumpet gown by Monique Lhuillier with Jimmy Choo “vibe” sandals

 Ashley Judd
 A raspberry duchess silk Carolina Herrera gown with a fishtail and diamond slice earrings and gardenia pin by Martin Katz

 Sarah Hyland
 A floral embroidered Marchesa that she claimed to “help design” and lots of diamonds and rubies by Lorraine Schwartz

 Jessica Pare
 A custom-made Jason Wu white asymmetrical gown with a simple black belt and a Bulgari 15-carat emerald cocktail ring

 Julianna Marguiles
 A couture floral green brocade Giambattista Valli strapless gown with pockets

 Elisabeth Moss
 A black and flowered Mikado gown by Dolce & Gabbana with pleated bodice and fluted hem

Do you know what fashion trends and quality-conscious Europeans? United States! United States! United States!

20th September 2012 - / PRNewswire / - With all the talk about the disappearance of products in the United States you think that American products would not be in use while abroad or overshadowed by competitors producing manufactured in Asia. It now appears that this trend is not really true for the fashion industry and textile products, where U.S. are designed and manufactured, are in high demand. Buoyed by a favorable exchange rate, were American fashion products preferential treatment of European traders and help are in high demand in the key European markets such as Germany and the United Kingdom to the manufacturing sector in the United States. One thing that is fueling this trend, a population of consumers very concerned about the quality is very aware that many products made in Asia great difficulties in reaching the class have. The tendency for fiber and natural ingredients that are minimally processed and chemically certainly. Originate in the food industry where Europe leads the way in many green initiatives and of course search The EU has strict laws that prohibit the use of many products, such as foods and genetically modified plants.

4b LVMH amassed assets totaling EUR Belgium

  Company in connection with French billionaire Bernard Arnault, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton raised € 4000000000 (Dh19.27 billion euros) of assets in Belgium, where he most recently applied for citizenship.

Belgian Central Bank records show that 12 companies and a private foundation, all connected with LVMH and based in Brussels, more than tripled its assets has since 2008.

Olivier Labesse, a spokesman for LVMH said that companies are investing their vehicles LVMH, which has an annual turnover of $ 26 billion (Dh95.4 billion euros). The Paris-based company is Belgium "operational center of finance" in recent years to take advantage of a more favorable tax treatment there, he said. Transfer of assets in Belgium "has nothing to do" with the personal tax situation Arnault said Labesse.

Arnault, 63, chairman and CEO of LVMH, and the richest man in France - with a net worth of $ 25.7 billion, according to Bloomberg billionaires - has sparked an outcry in France this month when he said he wanted to have the Belgian nationality, together with President François Hollande is planning a tax of 75 percent on income over $ 1 million impose.

Belgian income tax and inheritance tax are lower than in France, unlike in France, Belgium, personal wealth is not taxed. The head of LVMH said it will maintain their French nationality and continues to pay French taxes.

12 Belgian investment companies present assets of less than € 100,000 to more than 2.6 billion euros, recent reports of the Central Bank. Its balance sheet total not more than 4 billion euros compared to 1.3 billion in 2008. They employ seven people according to the documents.

Arnault heirs

Show only businesses, records show that in 2008 the Belgian, Arnault has created a private foundation called ProtectInvestAlliance whose charter says it is Arnault heirs "to protect the financial interests and assets".

The foundation now has assets of only a few thousand euros, says his charter it could be used after his death in order to protect the interests of his heirs in Pilinvest, one of the 12 investment companies.

Pilinvest the last statement of the Central Bank, in 2009, reported € 242 million in assets. LVMH spokesman Labesse refused to answer questions about the Foundation, citing a company policy against private finance Arnault commented.

Investment companies of LVMH, the first disclosed last week by the Workers' Party of Belgium, are caused controversy in Belgium because they pay very little tax.

Citizenship efforts

They reported € 630.4 million profit in 2009, while the use of deductions to reduce their tax liability only 24.2 million, said David Pestieau, leader of the Labour Party Research Department, analyzed the annual reports of companies. He calls the company "no more than a post office box" that can LVMH the French to escape tax.

A Belgian TV crew visited 13th September modest office building in Brussels, where most shops are located. Companies were listed on a sign in front of a closed door, knocked as a reporter, said an inner voice: "No one is here."

Belgian newspapers quoted the mayor of the district of Uccle Brussels said last week that Arnault said in late 2011 that he will go to Belgium because he was dissatisfied with the French tax policies did. Arnault said his "personal action" is not intended to send a political message or billionaire evade taxes Holland allegedly.

French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said yesterday that the 75-percent tax to remain in place for two years.

"Patriotic action"

"We are not watering down the measure," he said in an interview with RTL radio. "This is a strong degree of patriotism. Those who became rich during the period can help to turn a patriotic way to the country."

In order to benefit from lower tax rates in Belgium Arnault would not need to be a Belgian citizen - although it would be necessary to have his main residence there.

Arnault said he wanted a Belgian passport, because he wants to invest. Local investment, however, said he would not benefit with citizenship.

Salvaging By Design: Upcycling Fashion Industry Scraps

There are reasons why even in mythology, creation and destruction are linked. It takes something to make something. But in the fashion

 industry, the element of destruction that goes into your new threads often comes in the form of waste.

 Textile manufacturing is notorious for its inefficient use of water and energy. Often the carbon footprint of our clothing only expands as

 it is shipped to stores from distant lands. Then, after those resources are depleted in an effort to create new material, the average mill

 discards 60,000 pounds of fabric each week. The color might be wrong. The buyer might have changed her mind, or the manufacturer may have

 just overproduced. What doesn’t sell is sent to the dump or incinerated. It’s a common practice that results in millions of tons of

 clothing wasted every year—clothing that was made at a considerable environmental toll to begin with.

 There are other ways of creating. Apparel maker Looptworks salvages that wasted material, scouring mills and warehouses for excess fabric,

 thread, and buttons before they get destroyed—and then Looptworks creates.

 It’s a model dreamed up by founders Scott Hamlin and Gary Peck, veterans with combined experience from Nike, Adidas and Royal Robbins.

 Working in the textile industry for over a decade and a half apiece, Hamlin and Peck were witness to all that excess. They determined that

 in going into business for themselves, goal number one would be simple: they never wanted to create anything new.

 Making fashionable apparel and gear from someone else’s waste means being flexible. Kiana Neal, Looptworks’ Product Line Manager, explains

 that for their clothing line, “we try and develop really sick silhouettes that can be versatile with fabric choices based on what we can

 find at the time we’re looking to order.” One season’s vest came in Italian striped wool. The next season the same design came in a

 sporty polyester with fleece lining. It’s a form of adaptive design that results in a line of limited-edition products.

 But Looptworks also creates using a method reminiscent of childhood play—making something from whatever happens to be available. This

 translates into an inversion of the model that dominates the fashion industry—one where resources are made to bend to a designer’s vision.

 At Looptworks things can happen the other way around, with design ideas inspired by what can be salvaged.
 That process has resulted in bags made from wind turbine tarps and laptop covers from deep sea diving wetsuit material. They will soon make

 backpacks, messenger bags and laptop sleeves from banners that were hung at University of Oregon’s Olympics Trials. When a leather

 manufacturer called Looptworks about finding a use for its remnants—pieces cut away due to blemish and minor scratches—the scraps were cut

 down and pressed into workable squares. Though some might question just how environmentally sensitive it is to make leather products, Neal

 says “we really believe that we’d rather see it as a laptop sleeve than see it in a landfill.”

 It’s a matter of using what already exists and making things work. It may mean trimming pockets with surplus yardage. It may mean retailers

 must learn to be adaptive—that pretty blue shirt that sold so well may now come in green, because that’s the fabric that was salvageable

 this season. It means creating something people will want out of what was about to be thrown away, and in doing that, Looptworks closes a

 loop in manufacturing. They also make fashion a bit less destructive.

New York Fashion Week by the Numbers: More Models Of Color Are Working

New York fashion week wrapped up its Spring-Summer 2013 season with a whopping 143 shows and live presentations — more shows and

 presentations than we've ever had to cover during the eight seasons we've been compiling these runway diversity reports. (Back in February

 of 2009, there were only 116 shows.) As NYFW has grown, so has awareness of the problems that models of color can face in the industry: the

 ways that some magazines talk about race as though it were a trend, like British Vogue, and the manifest (if only occasionally acknowledged)

 preference of most clients for white models. Way too often in fashion, looking "aspirational" is still considered synonymous with "having

 white skin."
 It is heartening, then, that this season proved to be the most racially diverse that we have ever counted. For the second time ever (and the

 second season in a row), white models actually comprised just less than 80% of the total model pool. Contrast that with the 87% of all

 runway spots that were given to white models in Fall-Winter 2008, when we began keeping track of models and race at NYFW.

 This season, 143 designers presented some 4708 individual women's wear "looks" to buyers and press during the eight days of fashion week.

 3736 of those looks, or 79.4%, were given to white models. Again this season, the second largest ethnic group on the runway at fashion week

 was Asians — Asian models got 476, or 10.1% of all the runway looks. Black models nabbed 383, or 8.1%. Non-white Latina models had 88

 looks, or 1.9%. And models of other races wore 25, or 0.5% of all looks. Click on any chart in this post to enlarge.

 These results may be partly attributed to the season, because one trend that is apparent from our data is the preference for slightly more

 models of color at the spring-summer collections and slightly fewer at the fall-winter collections, which may be due to a belief on the part

 of casting directors that darker skin tones suit the bright colors of spring clothes better than they do fall's more somber hues. (Or at

 least that's what some casting directors tell us off-the-record — generally while rolling their eyes.) But more jobs for models of color is

 good news no matter what the reason.

 Despite the overall positive trend, there were still a number of shows that were not very diverse. Eight brands — Araks, Brood, Calvin

 Klein, Elizabeth & James, Louise Goldin, MM6 Maison Martin Margiela, See by Chloé, and The Row — had zero models of color. Their casts were

 entirely white. That's around 6% of all shows. (In 2007, according to published reports, one-third of the shows at NYFW had all-white

 casts.) Additionally, there were 31 shows and presentations that had three or fewer models of color. That's more than 20% of all shows.

 Calvin Klein, after seasons in which it showed its collection on an all-white cast but for one model of color, decided to just go with an

 all-white cast. The Olsen twins continued their habit of hiring all-white casts for their two brands, The Row and Elizabeth & James.

 Some of the most diverse shows were Tracy Reese, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Jason Wu, Jen Kao, Anna Sui, Barbara Tfank, Boy by Band of Outsiders,

 Edun, Chado Ralph Rucci, and Betsey Johnson. At the industry's high end, Ralph Lauren and Oscar de la Renta also showed their collections on

 very racially diverse casts. Emerging brands like Calla and Dean Quinn also included a lot of models of color.

 The conversation about racial diversity in fashion is a large and complex one, of which data like these are only one part. As I wrote last

 season,
 It's difficult to quantify a problem like high fashion's demonstrated preference for white skin. Race is a social construct, not a fact. And

 our "categories" — black, Asian, non-white Latina, and what we for lack of a better term call "other" — are not (and probably cannot be)

 perfect. We don't count white women from Latin America in our gerrymandered "Latina" category; though they are as Latina as their darker-

 complected countrywomen, on the international modeling circuit, the color of their skin is more important than the passports they bear or

 the cultural heritage they represent, and they have the privilege of competing with other white models for the much larger pool of jobs that

 are open to white models. So this count comes with some obvious caveats.

5 Unique Fashion Website Designs

For many people fashion is more than just a passing interest. It is both a major passion and a part of their daily lives, something that

 they take a great deal of pride in.

 And why shouldn’t they? Fashion is ever changing, exciting and a key element to how we end up feeling about ourselves. Just having a new

 outfit can pep up your mood or day. Window shopping can help us set goals and establish a new look that makes us feel more confident. There

 are many reasons that fashion is as beloved as it is today.

 But there is more to a fashion website than catering to the latest chic. Many graphic designers take their cue from the unique and

 innovative layouts used for these sites. Here are ten of the best right now.

 I love anything that manages to look for trendy and uncomplicated. Which is how I would describe the website for UK fashion shop Paul Smith.

 The center of the page has a single image set with a black background. Half of that image is just darkness, with white text. Beneath it are

 several pages of products, showing off categories that are popular right now.

 Then at the top is a single header with links to everything on the site. Some of these are sections for shopping, and others are for

 contacting or learning about the company.
 Fashion line Prada has always managed to pull of both sophistication and edginess. So their designs are usually somewhere between the two,

 and right now they have opted for edgy.

 The image used as the main background at the moment is even a little weird. The clothing is almost vintage, as is the style of the photo

 filters used. The background takes up almost the entire space, with nothing but a sidebar on the left with the links to the store’s

 features.
 Designer The Sak sells shoes, handbags and accessories. All with a kind of earthy feel and rich color scheme. Their website captures this

 simple design process with their layout. The colors are all earthy and mutes, using a pinkish cream and light blue and grays. It almost

 looks like graphing paper. Then in the center is the real splash of color with greens of the the background, and the deep brown of one of

 their products. The link icons are rough looking, like ripped pieces of paper or fabric. It is unique and perfectly suited for their product

 line.

See Next Seasons’ Styles Exclusively At Detroit Fashion Week 2012

After much preparation, Detroit Fashion Week is returning with plenty of fashion, style, and glitz for Detroiters to enjoy. Detroit Fashion

 Week 2012 (DFW) will highlight the hottest trends for Spring/Summer 2013 while offering new venues and designer showcases.

 Eight years ago, DFW was created to bring Detroit designers, stylists, and models to the forefront, as seen in New York Fashion Week. DFW

 producer and fashion photographer, Brian Heath has put a lot into the fashion event over the years and 2012 will be no exception.

 Brian Heath took some time from his schedule to explain everything that goes into DFW and what guests can expect this year. Heath begins by

 describing all the people involved in delivering a successful DFW.

 “…It’s what happens after the shows that makes the difference for our participants. We work year-round on keeping our alumni participants

 up to date on trends, events, [and] training,” says Heath.

 He goes on to explain, “We place the same demands on our designers, models, makeup, stylists and behind-the -scenes staff that the [public]

 would find in any other domestic fashion week event. Our designers learn how to present to buyers, our models get signed with major agencies

 and have become Miss Michigan, Miss USA and cover models for companies like Johnson Products,” he says.

 Several DFW alumni will be appearing and presenting this year. Dianne Berry and Nikyah Lumbard are among the new designers while veteran,

 Camille Jeanay, who has a line that was in Miami Style Week-Mercedes Benz Fashion Week summer showcase, is among those that will be

 returning.

 Each designer that’s presenting a collection is presenting work that is being seen in Michigan first.

 “All of our designers must show next seasons spring/summer lines exclusively to DFW, prior to showing anywhere else in Michigan. It’s what

 we deliver to our audience and buyers each year, it is the standard we place on them. That’s what makes all of our showcases different year

 after year. “

 Although guests can expect to see a lot of fashion tradition and familiar faces, this year’s event will be different from previous years.

 There will be various changes and additions to look forward to in DFW 2012.

 Heath provides details behind the changes. “We decided to do the shows with more of an exclusive feel this year as our events are guest-

 listed only and there will be no seating sold at the door of the events. We also moved to venues that meet with our theme for this year

 which is ‘Launch’. Our venues for showcases are the Detroit Yacht Club and The Princess Boat cruise ship.”

 He also shares that showcases have also been modified. “We combined our student shows to present to a more professional audience, along

 with our Designer showcases. We also have accessory showcases this year.”

 There is much to expect and anticipate for DFW 2012. As the event continues to grow, the demand and vision will only become greater in time.

 Heath expresses the goals and focus for the future of DFW.

 “We want to be sure we are always moving the event in the right direction and attracting designers, buyers and press from all over. This

 year we were contacted by F-Politic in London. They cover all of the fashion week and trade shows across the world and will carry our

 designers’ images for this year’s Detroit Fashion Week…” says Heath.

 “We have had great support and hope to attract more sponsors for this year’s showcases and keep our base growing into the future.”

 Detroit Fashion Week will be held from September 23 to the 29. The Detroit Yacht Club Designer Showcases will take place on September 26,

 from 7 pm to 12:30 am. Showcase seating is $35 per person.

 Front row seating is $60 per person and includes a swag bag. The Princess Riverboat Showcase Cruise will be held on September 29, from 9:30

 pm to 1:30 am. Showcase seating is $35 and front row seating is $60 with a swag bag. Premium seating to attend both events are $120. To

Chanel, the embroiderer Lesage famous milliner Maison Michel Lemarie and specialist plume has acquired, in December last year Montex Parisian embroiderer and is constantly on the lookout for other potential vis-à smaller acquisitions.

"The provision of in-house production is important when the quality who want to keep required for luxury goods," Toni Scervino, CEO of the Italian fashion house Ermanno Scervino, told Reuters detail and Consumer Summit on Milan on Thursday.

In 2002, Ermanno Scervino family three manufacturers of high fashion, lingerie bought, children wear stockings. Seamstresses and textile workers collaboration with the designer at the company's headquarters on the outskirts of Florence.

Luxury makers are under pressure, craftsmen, that young people are not attracted to keep the craft work requires a lot of glamor and catwalks to see as low on the social ladder.

"The lack of craftsmen is our biggest problem, and the schools are not enough," the top Scervino told Reuters in Milan.

"We try to tell young people that they promise to areas that are of great value and that these contracts has become a passion," Ponsolle Gates told Reuters in Paris.

To encourage young people to consider going into craft, some luxury brands such as Cartier and Roberto Cavalli have created their own departments to train craftsmen and others like Hermes signed partnerships with schools access to the best graduates.

Hermes employs about 3,000 in areas such as silk, leather.

Florentine designer Roberto Cavalli's own animal and floral motifs which he is famous, said the CEO Gianluca Brozzetti group Reuters.

The group also opened a Florentine-based department with artisans produce prototypes for leather bags and shoes, he said.

In France, in the last five years, the Comité Colbert has invited thousands of students from Paris to production and invited to visit representatives of the luxury companies to make presentations in class.

Brands participating in the initiative of the Colbert Committee include jewelers Cartier and Boucheron, Hermès, Guerlain and watchmaker Breguet.

In Italy, the manufacturing crisis by a prolonged recession, many companies close the LED is exacerbated.

The number of Italian textile firms by 4 percent to more than 21,700 since 2009, according to the Italian Union of Chambers of Commerce.

The number of Italian shoe manufacturer fallen by half since 1962, according to Il Sole 24 Ore daily. Italy is for the manufacture of shoes for brands such as Christian Dior (DIOR.PA) Yves Saint Laurent (PRTP.PA) and Oscar de la Renta, famous among other things.

Scervino said the crisis should make more young people for jobs in production. "The demand is the best motivation," he said.

New York Fashion Weavz: The Shows

Here is Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek as explained by a construction worker across the street from Lincoln Center yesterday, on whom

 I eavesdropped because I was too scared to talk to anyone else:

 "There's two a year, one now and one in spring. They used to do it over on 42nd Street. Fashion people from all over the world

 come, and they have a ton of fun."
 42nd Street is "Bryant Park," for those who learned New York from Tim Gunn and Project Runway. Fashion Week took place there, in

 the Garment District, for 17 years, before it was moved to Lincoln Center in 2010. Semi-annual Fashion Weeks, held in cities

 around the world in spring and fall, are a time for designers to showcase their upcoming collections (shown two seasons in

 advance, meaning the clothes we see now are for the labels' spring/summer 2013 lines), for Project Runway's finale to film, and

 for bloggers to take pictures of one another's Street Style.

 Street Style is any kind of clothing you wear, ever, in public. Many people who have Street Style are not models, however many

 models also have Street Style. An example of Street Style is an old man wearing a classic fedora, or a young woman wearing many

 gold bracelets and shrugging her shoulders, or a brightly colored belt.

 These are things I have recently learned. I do not know about Fashion Week or Street Style. Luckily, my editors had set out

 fairly modest goals: "Just, like, walk around and crash into shit," A.J. suggested. "Wear a tracksuit. Fall into a waiter. Wash

 your feet in the punch bowl. Talk to people and give us your observations."

 On the morning of Baby's First Fashion week, I write an important blog post about Jon Hamm's penis. I eat two chocolate scones

 and then another chocolate scone, and then take the subway uptown. I listen to my favorite instrumental from the About a Boy

 soundtrack on the way, and think of my task not as a stressful challenge in which I will be forced to interact and, on occasion,

 deceive people who intimidate me, but, rather, as a brief moment in the montage of my life.

 Upon arriving near-ish to Lincoln Center, I immediately become lost. I have only been in this area once before, to observe the

 filming of Gossip Girl on a cold night last fall. I start asking people in uniforms—security guards, information desk workers,

 dogcatchers—the way to Lincoln Center, then the way to the New York Public Library branch at Lincoln Center, then the way to

 the fashion show, then the way to the runway.

 I arrive at the Mark McNairy New Amsterdam show shortly before it ends. In industry parlance, I have arrived "fashionably late."

 I stand just inside the doorway at the foot of the catwalk with a large group of tall men. We are all wearing a lot of clothes

 on our bodies, so it's pretty clear we know from fashion. I lift up my cellphone to take a picture of the runway, because that's

 what everyone else is doing and I want to fit in with my new friends. Hip hop is blasting. I realize, after a few seconds of

 standing, that music is still emanating from my in-ear earbuds and consider removing them, before deciding that this will be my

 affectation. A burst of confetti goes off at the entrance of the runway and everyone gasps because confetti is frightening.

 Rapper Danny Brown bounds down the runway in a gold jacket and everyone murmurs about what a treat it is to see rapper and

 author of The Da Vinci Code Danny Brown here in front of us wearing a gold jacket.

 When the show ends, the crowd suddenly realizes that they are in a public library that is merely masquerading as a fashion

 venue, and they book it out of there. A man near the exit is handing out boxes of Crest White Strips, so I take one. My review

 of the Mark McNairy New Amsterdam show is that it was like a loud concert where all the attendees received Crest White Strips.

 Outside, Lincoln Center Plaza is awash with sunlight. If the weather is any indication, God hates both Republicans and Democrats

 but loves fashion (Fashists). Over and over again, I watch people stand in the middle of the sun-bleached plaza and casually

 strike poses (hand on hip, gazing blankly into the distance) that show off their Street Style, in the hopes that a Street Style

 Photographer will approach them and ask to snap a photo.

 Unfortunately, the only people anyone wants to photograph for their Street Style are the people already being photographed for

 their Street Style. It's a great day for black women wearing tribal prints who have great Street Style.

 I sit down next to some construction workers because all of the Fashion People have either friends or very straight hair, which

 I find intimidating. I take notes on their conversation because I love the way my ballpoint pen writes.

 Later in the afternoon, I walk to a different building, in which are housed the famous Fashion Week tents. There are hordes of

 security guards manning every door, but none of them asks to see my credentials or to even photograph me because they love my

 Street Style. I spot a sign for Reem Acra, the show I'm due to attend, and ask a man standing by an electronic check-in kiosk

 what I should do if I don't have a printed invitation or confirmation number, as everyone else seems to.

 "Don't worry about it. Just give them your name at the front and you'll be set."

 The reason I do not have a printed invitation or confirmation number is because I am not on the list for this show. I am not

 really on the lists for any shows. Fortunately, another acquaintance is, and she can't make it. Before getting to the front of

 the line, I practice my delivery of her name over and over in my head.

 Jane Doe. Hello, Jane Doe. Hi! Jane Doe! D-O-E, Jane?

 With one attendee ahead of me, I study the four women checking reservations and decide one of them, a blonde woman, is mean. She

 will see right through my ruse. I hope I don't get her.

 I get her. She does not see through the ruse. I spell my fake name correctly.

 Inside the tent, I feel a burning desire to step on the runway, which is shiny and black.

 The woman in front of me steps on the runway.

 "YOU CAN'T STEP ON THE RUNWAY!" Assistants swoop in from all sides to chastise her. I shake my head because the nerve of some

 people, stepping on the runway.

 Everyone whispers that I have great Street Style as I pick my way through the crowd, and Anna Wintour considers approaching me

 but feels suddenly self-conscious and also she isn't there.

 I reach my assigned seat and am disappointed to see it is one row higher than the seats that receive free gifts in tiny red

 Santa sacks. I consider pocketing a tiny red Santa sack in retribution for my not being given a tiny red Santa sack but worry

 someone will notice.

 To my left sits a girl with very straight hair and many purple geode rings. I am intimidated by her, so I ignore her, because I

 am a journalist. To my right sits a girl with her hair in a bun. I ask her for what outlet she's here for, and after she repeats

 the name twice, I smile and pretend I have heard her. She and I both express our desire to have free gifts, just as, magically,

 a wave of back row plebes descends into the unclaimed free gift seats. A harried Australian woman commands us to wait, but no

 one does. My friend and I now have free gifts. (Perfume.)

 My friend tells me that a girl she knows saw Vogue contributing editor Andre Leon Talley at a show earlier, and explains he and

 Anna Wintour "are, like, the stars of fashion," as though I do not know all about fashion from eavesdropping on construction

 workers earlier. "If anyone falls, we probably won't be able to see it from here," I whisper to my new BFF. "No one loses it

 right out of the gate." She nods politely.

 Suddenly, the intimidatingly straight-haired girl turns to me and asks if I'm going to any other shows during the day. I tell

 her I'm not, and wonder why she asked – is it because I look like a farmer? Is it because she does not think my awesome Street

 Style should be confined to the indoors? She pulls a printed RSVP to another designer's presentation out of her pocketbook and

 tells me that she won't be able to use it. Would I like to go in her place? I accept the RSVP because I love free things and see

 from the confirmation that her name is Barbara. Now my name is Barbara. Thank you Barbara, love Barbara.

 The show begins. A model trips, but does not fall, all the way at the opposite end of the runway. The show ends and my friend

 spots Fran Drescher in the crowd. A fashion coup.

 As the audience files out of the showroom in a herd, I notice that there are free cans of Diet Pepsi in the lobby. Unlike

 regular cans of Diet Pepsi, which I now realize are fat and pedestrian, these cans are extra slim. Very sleek. This Pepsi has

 great Street Style. I take one, which is one third as many as I want to take, and also accept two granola bars handed to me by a

 girl in a yellow dress. I love fashion.

 The energy of the three scones and a bagel I ate a couple hours ago long since burned off, I tear into these granola bars with a

 vigor that is frightening. I'm chugging Diet Pepsi. I'm wild-eyed and hopped up on freebies and itching for some trick bitch to

 come up and try to start something with me about my Street Style. I watch a mother take a picture with her daughter as they pose

 in front of a luxury car that has been moved indoors (fashion). The girl looks like a cherub. The mother looks like a mean

 angel. They are beautiful. I want to take a picture of them and text it to my friends ("Beautiful people with a car I just

 saw"), but I leave instead.

 Barbara's RSVP is for the Gilded Age presentation back inside the library at Lincoln Center. I, Barbara, walk in, ready to tell

 people they can call be Barbie, they can call me Babs, the only thing they can't call me is late for dinner, especially if

 dinner is free soda and granola bars.

 No one checks my RSVP (thanks for the lame gift, Barbara), so I amble into the presentation room.

 Fashion presentations feature all the clothing of traditional runway shows but without the 18 seconds of unbroken walking time

 so trying for models. At the Gilded Age presentation, a roomful of attractive men stand on a stage and make eye contact with

 anyone who approaches. Just as you and I are about to enter into a thoughtful debate on this inversion of The Male Gaze, I

 notice one gentleman is shirtless, which is distracting because I can see his belly. I decide I've had enough fashion for one

 day, so I grab another box of Crest White Strips from the lobby (the first box for Babs) and leave the building.

 Outside in the plaza, I see two separate groups of fashion enthusiasts pose for photos with an NYPD officer standing in front of

 a fountain (he has great street style). After they're gone, I walk up and ask him if he's gotten a lot of requests for pictures

 today.

 He says, "No."

 I walk back to the subway.

 All the clothes I saw were cool and nice.

Fashion Week Stargazing: Days 3 and 4

On a sticky Saturday morning, with heavy rain and humidity that turned ponytails into pom poms, the Lacoste show kicked off a long weekend of celebrity sightings.

 Kris Humphries, the Nets player and famous Kim Kardashian ex, made it to Lincoln Center just before the downpour started. He was dressed in a red plaid button-down, worn open, a gray T-shirt and slim jeans. The Nets’ move to Brooklyn from New Jersey seemed to have rubbed off. “You know, it’s kind of the whole hipster thing,” Mr. Humphries said of his outfit.

 Rather than cool things off, the rain turned the runway venues into steam rooms. At Prabal Gurung, held at Pier 57, the heat had influenced wardrobe choices. Bravo’s Andy Cohen showed up in a T-shirt, jeans and brown flip-flops. “It’s humid, so the most important thing is to let my dogs breathe,” he said, nodding to his exposed toes. “I woke up this morning and actually was debating the flip-flops.”

 “No one cares what I’m wearing,” he added. His front-row mates might disagree. They included Brad Goreski, Barbara Bush, Kate Bosworth, Hailee Steinfeld and Allison Williams.

 The humidity was also challenging at Edun, which took place at 1 p.m. at the Skylight at Moynihan Station. Alicia Keys, with short slicked-back hair and big Jackie O sunglasses, had the right idea: she wore white after Labor Day in the form of a white button-down and white and black jeans.

FASHION SENSE

Not to be interested in clothing is another way of being obsessed with clothing, because, ultimately, there’s no such thing as having no style. After the slapdash post-sixties faux-naturel of naturally torn jeans and rock-band T-shirts (here’s the novelist Howard Jacobson, this weekend in The Guardian: “I’ve never owned a T-shirt… . Things with words on! Can you imagine? On grown-ups! Words are to make books with”), I saw a friend from a similar family and a similar place wearing a light-blue Oxford button-down, and the experience was akin to growing up amidst carved stone pavilions and getting a first glimpse of Bauhaus. Having spelled, in my mind, the trends of the rag trade as “fascion,” I found the rarefied austerity—in effect, the timelessness—that I was looking for, without realizing until later that the lust for simplicity is itself a style.
 Every filmmaker’s personal bearing plays a role in their work. All directors are also actors, though, in many cases, ones who reserve their performances for cast and crew off-camera. What directors do isn’t just a matter of choosing the shots and guiding the actors; their main work is charismatic—creating a world from their personal influence, from the emanations of their presence, from which their sartorial style is inseparable. When I interviewed the filmmaker and primordial New Wave cohort Charles Bitsch a decade ago, I was surprised to hear his description of Jean-Luc Godard around the age of twenty:
 In relation to the others at Cahiers [du Cinéma], he had a little of a dandyish side, with his dark glasses, with his way of dressing… He was a little more “dressed,” in quotes, than we were. He wore a tie, a checked vest, dark gloves—not Saint-Laurent, but a certain class… You could say that, when you saw him, you knew he wasn’t just anybody, he was a character.
 Or a figure, an eminence. It made perfect sense, though, just as it made sense to learn that Howard Hawks was attached to his finery.
 The theoretical science or artistic extreme of the quest for style is high fashion, and this past Saturday, accompanying my older daughter, Juliette, to The Hole gallery on the Bowery for the show of the artful house of threeASFOUR (who I’ve mentioned here before, through the happy happenstance of a collegial connection), I was reminded once more of the imaginative power of radical clothing. The word of the day was “draping,” which, of course, means the way the clothing hangs, and which implies an intimacy with the fabric, a feel for the connection between the material and the body in motion.
 The word that came to mind along with it was “biomorphic”: the swirling forms, the asymmetrical cutouts and the swooping cuts, and the intertwining coils all seemed devised to give the inanimate dresses and tunics and slashed-open pants a life of their own. With the mirror-panelled wedges that all the models wore on their feet and other similar reflective panels that were sewn onto some of the garments, the underlying mood was one of science meeting nature in a mystical communion. It was a line for a time of blended promise and foreboding, of boundary-crossing and wondrous yet eerie interventions. Baudelaire wrote that

’50 Shades’ of New York Fashion Week

  Spring Fashion is usually too subtle colors, soft fabrics and flowers. Harness leather and lace pieces have been seen on the runways of New York Fashion Week, which raises the question: "Ana Steele and Christian Grey have inspired a fad?"

At BCBG Max Azria, could the "50 Shades" trend tease not too obvious with leather harness to feminine dresses.

Designers Lubov and Max Azria collection described as "fluid silhouettes and weightless fabrics stretched proportions" that "embody the seductive charm of the season."

"I spoke with Lubov before the show, and it refers specifically '50 Shades of Grey '," said Maren Hartman, Content Director of WGSN East Coast company trend statement. "She said," You know, it's all about sexuality and femininity and the film noir thing, if you look at the BCBG show this again this combination of male and female. "

"They had let this tip, matched very feminine silhouettes, and then they were back leather harness. Apparently referring to something naughty and nice she is. And she had also Leger Herve," said Hartman. "The pendulum swung a little in this sexy, feminine thing, too. "

In addition to Herve Leger, spoke popular designer Jason Wu "50 Shades" trend matched with a top made of black leather and a sexy collection.

Short skirts and bra tops and corsets were to see some of the dresses in Jason Wu Models wore a bright red lips with hair combed back.

Romance difficult it is a creative director Joe Zee describes the trend that has been seen on the track.

"I think we have seen hints of romance, the Autumn / Winter lasts, so crawl until spring. I think we can see a lot of that to have people behind you, and black and white, and I think that lends itself a little more than a hardening of attitude that I think feels refreshing at the moment. "

"I think something like the spring season is a lot easier with a stronger position than black," said Zee.

Tax wealthy in France? Louis Vuitton CEO departure

Bernard Arnault - the richest man in Europe - has required an uproar in France over taxes, political citizenship, patriotism, and the government in order to promote the growth triggered. It is an impressive achievement for a small return. Arnault - French giant LVMH CEO of fashion house Louis Vuitton owner-richest man in Europe and Christian Dior - is the symbol of the French fashion industry precious luxury. Thus, when the face of the "Made in France", confirmed on Sunday that it is applying for dual citizenship in Belgium, he struck deep chord in the national pride of France. Despite his protests, many thought it an attempt to evade was expected that the new socialist government. 75 percent tax on the richest countries First page of a French newspaper title called "rich jerk" today and French President François Hollande questioned patriotism Arnault. But beyond the insults, the debacle highlighted a contradiction very French: A country that prides itself on producing luxury fashion must exorbitant tax policy that accurately target the people who are rich enough to buy French goods. Arnault is the world's fourth richest man, whose personal fortune estimated by Forbes magazine at $ 41 billionth Its application to Belgium comes in Holland prepares for a tax of 75 percent on those who earn more than $ 1.28 million per year to implement - although it has been suggested that the plan down could be diluted. "If I were in his place, I would think also that I have no choice and would not leave," said 34-year-old Jean-Baptiste Lete, a resident of Paris on foot in the city today. It's not the first time that Arnault be a socialist named Francis dodged. He emigrated to the United States in 1981, when President François Mitterrand came to power - and is returned when the country became more conservative fiscal policy. As a Belgian Arnault pay a maximum of 50 percent of their income. More attractive, it could benefit from the exemption cherished place the Belgians in Monaco - when he renounced his French citizenship. French nationals living in Monaco taxable in France. Arnault vehemently denied that his decision had nothing to do with tax evasion and said he will continue to pay French taxes, but his remarks convinced few. "I can not believe," businessman Bernard Tapie was quoted as saying in the daily Le Parisien. "If you are a citizen of a country, you must know how to enjoy the good part, but also accept the drawbacks. Symbolically, it is a disaster." The movement was a public relations disaster, the French referred to the lack of economic competitiveness underscores. The French are still the desire of the British Prime Minister David Cameron on "red carpet" for French companies when Holland has followed his plan to raise taxes on the rich. François Fillon, France, the former Conservative Prime Minister, directly blamed the Socialist government fiscal policy. "It will spread like wildfire. Everywhere in the world, and they will say that France is the country that is not as successful," he said. Others blame firmly on Arnault himself. Libération today shows a picture of a happy future Arnault and impeccably adapted into a suitcase next to the title: "Get lost, Rich Jerk". LVMH also announced today a statement that the newspaper Arnault continued for "public insult". Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici was concerned about the overall image of France. "He is the head of luxury properties, which are symbols of French brands," said Minister BFM TV. "He did not know how she would be perceived, it was a bit irresponsible." Some critics say that the Socialists had come to remind everyone that Holland once said, "I do not know how the rich." On the other side of the border, the news has welcomed with open arms. Read "Welcome, Mr. Arnault" as an editorial today in the Belgian daily La Libre - the billionaire claimed in the suburbs of Brussels lived for several months now.
