Amanda Bynes Gets Some Love From Gucci Mane?

  Amanda Bynes has a crazy week. After both with Twitter Rihanna and supermodel Chrissy Teigen be arrested for alleged drug use during wars, it seems even his adorable child no hope for the actress. But just when you thought that there is no hope for Amanda, none other than Gucci Mane in swarms and saves the day.

Yesterday Gucci recognized and encouraged the former child actress in trouble on Twitter, saying: "Should you Do It Right @ amandabynes."

Last week, Amanda announced via Twitter that she wants to start a singing / rap career. She tweeted: "I'm looking forward to in music videos, I'm back in shape and a nose job, I look forward to a long and successful career as a singer / rapper!" Can tweeter, the result of Gucci in a relationship between the two? Does this mean that we see a Gucci Mane track Amanda Bynes?

As epic as it sounds, tweet Gucci is not in a professional cooperation between the two now instead. A few hours after his message to Amanda, he announced that his Twitter account was "hacked". "Hacked Twitter, why these n ---- keep playin wit my s ---! Ya I'll let you know when my s --- right back .. SMH."

A few days ago, Fläcka Wacka, Gucci had beef with twitter is in the past has tweeted a message similar to the actress. "@ AmandaBynes when people hate and lies media ....... This means that you break # FlockaFacts"

Is it just a coincidence that the Twitter account was hacked Gucci and a similar message was sent to Amanda? One wonders whether Gucci or someone from his camp were just fun # The FlockaFacts of Wacka - or perhaps the two rappers have more in common than they think.

Louis Vuitton own designs slowdown

  For the first time in two years, Louis Vuitton launches next month, the doors of his studio in 1859 Open in Paris, invited the audience to "discover the exceptional know-how in this iconic resort."

The distinctive luxury suitcases and bags in Asnières and other workshops are the key drivers of profitability LVMH. However, Louis Vuitton has in the recent months, spitting, after a dramatic increase in the last two decades, high on the back of rapid growth in the number of stores and Outlet bags profit.

Analysts believe that Louis Vuitton is one-half of the operating profit of LVMH. Its slow sales led declines in sales and share price underperformance in the past six months.

Overreacts for Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO, investors and the market. He told shareholders last month that the slowdown reflects lower demand, but it was designed by LVMH itself.

"At the risk of insulting towards those who [rate] revenue growth of Louis Vuitton is not a problem," he told shareholders at the annual meeting of the group. "Why is the fashion and leather goods rose 3 percent and 10 percent? This is because of a deliberate strategy."

Mr. Arnault said Louis Vuitton had put a stop to the opening of new stores, avoid over distribution. He and Michael Burke - New Head Vuitton since December - decided to develop more leather bags instead of bags iconic brand logo. Sales of leather were so good that Vuitton had trouble deliveries, he said.

Some analysts believe that upgrading is essential is his to keep for Louis Vuitton is an exclusive image. In this sense, the question of a conscious strategy is making a virtue of necessity, they say.

Organic sales growth Louis Vuitton rose 3 percent in the first quarter - well below the 10 percent annual increase in the last ten years. Similar to other product groups, LVMH has been affected by the economic slowdown in China, but the slowdown was had but much stronger than analysts expected.

The risk for mega brands, analysts say HSBC is "ubiquity -., The idea that the consumer to see the same products in the world, begins to feel like a brand" Too often, "We believe that the main victims of this topic Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Burberry as customers in developed economies, and even chinese [main] are The cities are less likely Products" logo to buy.

To avoid this, Louis Vuitton has the rate of new store openings reduced to two per year on average from 10-15. Its extensive network of 460 branches of Mongolia and Kazakhstan. The increase in revenue due to fewer stores should increase the profitability of each store.

It also moves its high-end bags in response to the tastes of the most demanding consumers, produces more leather and exotic skin bags.

Luca Solca, an analyst at Exane BNP Paribas, the motion of the multi-layer of Mercedes, the high-end and low-end models introduced around his car compares mainstream e-class strategy pursued.

The question is "informed consumers will prefer to buy high-end versions of the mega-brands such as LV in the future, or will they buy instead of niche brands" pure "premium such as Hermes," he asks.

Niche brands are strong, including increased Goyard, Bottega Veneta Celine PPR and LVMH. Mr. Arnault told shareholders that Celine was not on the "radar" Five years ago, but now joked that her daughter Delphine, often wore the brand, despite their alleged affiliation to Christian Dior LVMH, which is an administrator.

The problem says Solca is that LVMH's Celine previously held about Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, unlike PPR, which has grown rapidly for a number of years, as an alternative high-end groom's Gucci brand.

"Chinese customers are increasingly demanding faster than expected luxury companies, while the economic slowdown in China has reduced the speed with which the new rich created and that would normally buy bags," says M. Solca.

However, analysts believe that Morgan Stanley pessimism is overdone and this month on their price target for LVMH 7 percent upgrade to € 162 per share, arguing that LVMH is expected to move faster than the market.

Fewer new openings will also return cash to shareholders could be free, they said.

For Mr. Arnault, what is at stake is the transformation of one of the greatest achievements in the industry. "What interests me is that in 15 years, Louis Vuitton is always the first luxury brand," he said.

Vanity Fair France, Chanel Host Dinner Cannes

   Vanity Fair France connected with Chanel, at a dinner hosted in Cannes on Sunday night before the start

of the first edition on 26 June celebrities like Jessica Chastain, Adrien Brody and Milla Jovovich met Tetou

restaurant in Golfe-Juan de Cannes. They were joined by Karl Lagerfeld, Conde Nast International Chairman

and CEO Jonathan Newhouse, chairman of Condé Nast France Xavier Romatet and the editor of Vanity Fair

France. "The American edition of Vanity Fair has a strong presence in Hollywood. Vanity Fair in Cannes,

France must present" Romatet told WWD. He noticed that Graydon Carter, the editor of the American edition of

Vanity Fair, had agreed to forego its annual festival in Cannes, have marked the centenary of the journal

would this year.

"Vanity Fair is a very difficult concept," said Romatet noted that a survey of potential readers in France a

few months ago showed a detection rate of 33 percent, but little understanding of the mission of the check.

"This is a magazine to influence, but not a consumer publication investigated., It will be presented some

products. It is a magazine that speaks to people, but it is not a celebrity publication. Told this magazine

that we hope are exceptional. "

Four questions were ever produced. Unlike the weekly Vanity Fair Italy and now defunct German edition, the

French version is modeled on a monthly American original, with a mix of investigative journalism and

entertainment.

Michel Denisot was appointed editor in chief. Denisot presented the evening program of the week "Le Grand

Journal" on Canal Canal Plus pay-TV for almost a decade and has close links with the sport, politics and

entertainment. Anne Boulay, former editor of the French edition of GQ editor, while Virginia Mouzat came on

Romatet said, declining to specify how much is advertising. Aimed mainly at the age from 35 to 50 women,

want it reach to 600 pages per year to sell advertising and generate a first print run of 85,000 to 100,000

within three years, he said.

Romatet refused further details on the matter from the beginning show, except that it's exclusive coverage

of Cannes party would be seen with pictures by Ellen von Unwerth.

The expansion mode Mary Katrantzou

  Mary Katrantzou is planning to launch a line of leather goods and interiors rich in the future. The

designer, known for its incredible digital prints and sculptures silhouettes, recently teamed up with the

denim brand Current / Elliott for a capsule collection - a move that she said opened my eyes to explore

possible new directions. Jeans, she admits, could be another option.

Katrantzou is currently preparing for significant expansion of the brand, including the introduction of the

e-commerce website in the first few weeks. And presented his first preseason game collection next month (for

pre-spring/summer 2014), it is also currently hiring 16 new employees.

"If not this season, well, we would not be able to recruit, and our staff would be overloaded, and they'd

go," she said. "While the risk that scares you forever. [I ask myself] I'm something new that people will

inspire present? You are unsure of your life."

The Greek designer is grateful for his continued support of NEWGEN - sponsorship on behalf of Topshop and

the British Fashion Council - which she says has allowed him to consider growing and expanding every season.

"As part of NEWGEN attracts many international buyers and press for your show, and if you start, it's so

important to seen by the right people your work," she told New York magazine before it reveals has ambitions

of an Art Director be in a fashion house big names in the future. "If you had me six years ago, although I

have asked my own label, I would have said absolutely not. So you never know."

Great Fashion: what is the best fashion brand Chanel ago

  There are long queues at the Chanel boutique on Rue Cambon in Paris. Galeries Lafayette, the story is the same. Crowds of buyers lining up in the Chanel boutique shop. Same as Chanel concession in the spring, another Parisian department store. And in fact,
When summer begins, as the queues at the Chanel stores around the world: London, New York, Hong Kong, Shanghai and elsewhere.

Chanel is not the only brand to attract the masses. Sometimes the outer lines of Louis Vuitton are longer. But these queues are easier to explain. This includes tourists from the Far East, Japan and increasingly China, want to buy the bag with easily recognizable LV monogram. For many Chinese, the line on the Champs-Elysées, the product is not important. They will buy anything as long as it has the monogram.

But Chanel is difficult to explain. Yes, one or two handbags emblematic (of 2.55 for example) and therefore easily recognizable. But most of the properties for sale have nothing like the ubiquitous Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas makes it so attractive for the Chinese and bootleggers. Much of it is not easy to identify such as Chanel, unless you know where to look (a clip here, there are a string) and a bag for the bag know, Chanel is more expensive than Vuitton. Moreover, there is the wear. At Vuitton, even at peak times, the rooms of this stock clothes are sparsely populated. But Chanel, clothes are often the point.

So what explains the power of the brand? Why do people pay so much for clothes and Chanel accessories? And why, despite the lines outside stores, not Chanel, as opposed to, say, Vuitton, its brand get quality for the most demanding people, the clothes and accessories that can look elegant and timeless buy?

Ask anyone at Chanel the secret of success of the brand and they will give you answers that, while accurate, do not tell the whole story: Chanel products are manufactured to high standards, they tend to last they contain a certain amount of know- how, Karl Lagerfeld makes women's clothing is a genius and it is a heritage that dates back to Coco Chanel herself.

http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/popup/2013/5/Coco.jpgAh yes heritage. No fashion house perpetuates the cult of its founder as busy as Chanel did. Most people who buy Dior do not know that Christian Dior was a real person in those days. The link to the original company today Vuitton Louis Vuitton is always thin and Gucci advertising published passionate fight against the Gucci family, brought in land their members to kill each other before bankrupt and bought by the Arabs. (Currently, the house is owned by the French and Italians were not large share in it - certainly not the Gucci family).

I remembered the legacy of Chanel, when I think of the new Culture Chanel exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris went last week. The exhibition is divided into two parts. The first consists of paintings, letters and articles that have to do with the life of Coco Chanel. Jean-Louis Froment, the expert of the art exhibition curator (Chanel gave him total control), emphasizes that the life of Coco Chanel found inspiration for his creativity available. Her love of rich men (often British or German), who contributed his friendships with artists such as Salvador Dali, Jean Cocteau and Pablo Picasso and his love of European history to the appearance that we identify with Chanel today. That may be true, and certainly, it helps the brand that is steeped in such a rich tradition of art and culture.

But I felt a gap between the first half of the show with his memories of the young Coco and the second half was Chanel No. 5, his most famous creation and is still dedicated to the most famous perfumes in the world (as well as a huge international bestseller with an advertising campaign, which is now led by Brad Pitt). We are to believe that No. 5 was the distillation of all the experience of Coco Chanel and her perfume came from his own life.

There is a line that procurement and that the ability to rise above Vuitton Chanel, Dior, Gucci and other fashion brands. (Only Hermes is generally regarded as his equals in the hierarchy of the mode). Except it is not so easy. To start, Coco Chanel did not design or create Chanel No. 5 After she opened her business, she asked called a perfumer Ernest Beaux to invent a perfume for her. Fine comes with many samples and the story goes that Coco chose the fifth sample, hence the name 5

Neither Coco Chanel had the scent. It has always been for her by the Wertheimer family who've been in the perfume business, giving him a share of the profits. When the Nazis occupied France during World War II fled Wertheimer, the Jews, to America, where they continued to No. 5 (in New Jersey!). Coco turned against them, took a Nazi lover and have tried their property confiscated because they were Jews.

When the war ended with the defeat of the Nazis, Chanel fled to Switzerland, to the shame of being a collaborator to escape and Wertheimer is No. 5, without any intervention on his part. Finally, in the mid-fifties, the Wertheimer Coco is a relatively generous offer: she could return to France and continue the production of clothing under the brand Chanel. But they are entrepreneurs. Coco would be an annual payment. Since that day, the Wertheimer had all the Chanel, but remained obsessively low profile.

In the sixties, as haute couture is dying (started at Yves Saint Laurent designer ready-to-wear), lay the fate of Chanel took a bath and he is not much more than perfume business. His bottom line was completely dependent of the smell of No. 5 When Coco died in 1971, his reputation as a couturier will survive him and apparel company continued the slide that began during the last years of his life.

The House of Chanel revived and moved to perfume hired in the 1980s by Wertheimer Karl Lagerfeld to design clothes. Since Lagerfeld has a masterful job of updating the style of Coco bases and turning light colored clothes, year after year, with changes made to the inspiration of each season, while preserving the continuity of the Coco Chanel look.

Chanel is still privately owned by the Wertheimer owned, so we do not know how much have sales of apparel and accessories such as perfume comes. But I'm willing to bet that perfumes significantly to profitability. Unlike many other companies that use large enterprises to create fragrances for she has always designed its own Chanel perfume. His current perfumer Jacques Polge is a legend in the industry and all the new Chanel perfume that you are likely to see his work: Coco, Chance, Allure Blue Egoiste and various extensions of each (Sensual Allure, Platinum Egoiste, Black Coco, etc. ). Collaborating Centre Polge is immensely talented Chris Sheldrake, whose background includes niche fragrances (many for the Serge Lutens line).

You've probably never or Polge and Sheldrake Ernest Beaux Wertheimer heard or, for that matter. This is not the fault of Chanel. The house is a lot of credit to Polge and Sheldrake and all references to give No. 5 in the rule contains a reference to the role of beauty as Creator. (However, refusal to provide information about Wertheimer, deliberately).

The fact is that all Polge to speak very happy to say the creation of Blue or Black Coco, he is happier immersion in the legacy of Coco Chanel. Also, Exclusive, created a niche online sublime fragrances Polge and Sheldrake in recent years, taking all their names of references to the life of Coco to his villa La Pausa, Coromandel screens after they have been more in her apartment and so on. And Wertheimer, Coco seem quite extraordinary to any ill-will on the way they handled. They are not yet ready to accept the credit for his return from exile in the 1950s, reinventing and Chanel in the 1980s. They prefer to remain anonymous.

It is to a certain extent, a generous strategy. For all his faults as a human being, Coco was a remarkable woman and his legacy deserves to live, as it does in Lagerfeld riffs on the eyes and the continuing success of No. 5. But on another level, it is also a wise strategy. Almost everyone who Chanel Coco on sale in worship and in the suggestion that the house is a natural extension of his original work in the 1920s, is all about. The combination of these historic brand and product excellence Chanel works perfectly. This is why buyers are lining the Chanel stores. And that's why Chanel maintains its position at the top of the totem fashion.

This is an incredible story. And its root is the legendary perfume continues to sell steadily for nearly a century. Some houses survive on their monograms. Chanel has thrived because of a divine fragrance: the perfect combination of jasmine, rose, sandalwood, citrus and aldehydes ever. The Culture Chanel exhibition is open until 5 Opened in June at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris

designer Varun Bahl talks about his inspiration

  As a designer, I find myself often referring to various recent decades in my design process. The 20s Flapper, 50s ruffles, 70s psychedelic: every decade of the last century can be easily classified as strong trends that we fashion folk (and most of us are born until the second half of 1900) can recognize immediately. We find it easy as lower band is the best thing to come from the 20's almost as if we were there when it happened, talking about everything. Obviously we love and hate the shoulders of power 80 years (depending on the designers are trying to revive), and we are completely in everything even remotely affect the 40 full-skirted looks at the Christian Dior.

Which brings me to "now." What will see future generations of design professionals, when they look back on (20) and '10s after decades? Even 90 years is a sober moment in the history of fashion and also the most boring managed to have a signature look, leaning towards minimalism and futurism. And since we in the new millennium (which looks like a miracle, is not it?) Arrived, we have done nothing but recycle the ideas of the past, sometimes decades cramming in a single season.

But do not get me wrong. I'm not saying that making a film classic is not OK. I'm just a simple question: What does the appearance of the signature of the first decade of the new millennium?

The answer, as is often the case, may actually be in the question. And as I progress with the writing of this function (a writer must always think two sets in advance), I am convinced. The first decade of the new millennium has paid tribute to all that was the best of the past century. He celebrated, exalted, and everything from Baroque to the relevant bandage dress again. And that's the magic of fashion: it has the ability to renew and update. And that's why I love a designer.

My friends joke that I multiple personality disorder, which is multiplied with my bipolar disorder (also fictional), is why have my clothes were so many cultural influences, all at once. And that is something I revel in.

Weir has lived as a child about the store. But even if they came out of the "Paris End" of Collins Street Melbourne, it would be strangled by the nature strip in front of his house. "I've always loved a business. Born I am a retailer and I learned from one of the largest retailers, my mother," Weir, who recently received price of Marie Claire in 2013 for the best business Australia. Said

She took the Louvre in a new direction. What started as a sewing company in 1930, changed in the 1970s, ready-to-wear. The change not only in time with fashion changes, but also with the desire Weir travel the world in search of the latest and greatest.

While living Collins Street was empty clothes on the screen (they were hidden in the cabinets behind the living room), the South Yarra store them doing the show, with large glass windows and doors in the earlier a center of the 1930s.

The move to the site of South Yarra - in Daly Street, just off Chapel Street - was due to a need for more space, a location closer to its customers, and changes in Collins Street itself.

"Our customers have a chore to get into the city found., You have always complained about traffic jams," Weir said. "In Collins Street, people were never on the road. It was all of our regular customers who have been buying the Louvre for years, "she said.

A well dressed woman enters the Louvre. It was the purchase of the store for years. "I prefer to come here and be given clothes that fit me. The last time that I went into a store, I endlessly waited with a pair of shoes in my hand, and no one came up to me," says Fran who appreciates the new interior, as well as service. "He's excited., But I can still appreciate it at my age."
