For example, Ben Franklin said, "Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others," and Mark Twain added to the Latin proverb "Clothes make the man" the dry observation that "Naked people have little or no influence on society." However, one of the nicknames that insiders use for the fashion industry -- sometimes affectionately, sometimes derisively -- is "the rag trade," as if all that fashion were about was mixing and matching leftover scraps to sell to the unsuspecting public. The truth lies somewhere between these extremes, but closer to the former. At its worst, fashion can seem terribly artificial and self-involved (Right Said Fred's song "I'm Too Sexy" springs to mind), but at its best, fashion can be a vital, exciting enhancement to personal appeal and self-esteem.&lt;br /&gt;That being said, what opportunities exist in the fashion industry? Is it the sole province of top-flight designers and models of women's clothing? Hardly. David M. Schmida, Executive Director of the &lt;a href="http://www.artschools.com/cgi-bin/trk.cgi?http://www.iacde.com/"&gt;International Association of Clothing Designers and Executives (IACDE)&lt;/a&gt;, says, "Sometimes students call me because they want to be the next Donna Karan or something, which is great, but that's not our main focus. Our membership works mostly on the technical side of the design and production of fine menswear." For every marquee fashion designer with their own label, there are hundreds of other people who create less heralded but no less important designs, or who move designs from an illustration on a screen or a one-off prototype to finished goods on the racks at a store or on the shelves at a boutique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Careers in Fashion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;To help you understand the different careers available within the fashion industry, we're providing short overviews of each in the following paragraphs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Lead designers&lt;/span&gt; are the folks that most people think of in connection with the words "fashion industry." Their main responsibility is creative; they work up designs for individual pieces or entire lines of clothing and accessories. This typically involves several generations of sketches or computer-aided drafts; consideration of color, texture, material, and shape when worn; and supervision of final patterning and construction. Some lead designers aim to set trends (and, with skill and luck, they often do); others do their best to follow and capitalize on trends that are already established, or simply to design very beautiful, comfortable, and/or useful garments. Their markets vary from department stores to boutiques and specialty retailers to individuals willing to pay large amounts of money for custom-designed originals. While some lead designers are self-employed or head their own labels, many others work for apparel manufacturers, designing fashions to be sold to the discriminating few through high-end catalogs or to the millions who shop at discount super-centers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Technical designers&lt;/span&gt; take a lead designer's creations from the prototype stage through to full production. They work up specifications for new clothing and accessories, have samples made, and work with marketing and production facilities to ensure that finished pieces are made correctly and profitably. Technical designers need to uphold the quality of their company's brands, not just by making sure that garments are solidly and consistently constructed, but by maintaining "fit continuity": If they're responsible for a line of dress slacks (to choose an arbitrary example), all of the line's different slacks with the same measurements should fit customers the same way, and should fit customers very close to the same way as slacks with the same measurements that the company has released in recent years. Technical design might be done "behind the scenes," but it's tremendously challenging and important.&lt;br /&gt;Once the designers have figured out what shapes and cuts of material to use for an item, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;patternmakers&lt;/span&gt; create the master patterns for those shapes and cuts that guide further production. In the modern fashion industry, this is mostly done on computer, but it still requires a steady hand and a sharp eye.&lt;br /&gt;The fashion industry is driven by innovation just as other industries are, and for many of its innovations it depends on new and improved construction materials and procedures created by &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;textile specialists &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; engineers&lt;/span&gt;. Fashion and textile science have both come a long since the inventors of synthetic fibers unleashed nylon, rayon, and polyester on the world. Today natural-fabric mainstays such as cotton and silk can be "tweaked" with desired properties, and original synthetics can be virtually custom-crafted to have just the right amount of stretch, thickness, wear, strength, fire resistance, etc. Textiles can also be processed in new ways; for example, to allow garments to be made with fewer pieces or less stitching. If blending art and science this way appeals to you, you might want to investigate this type of career.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Marketers&lt;/span&gt; make people want to buy new designs, new clothing lines, or even a designer's or company's entire output. They do this not just with advertising, but with every tool at their disposal. For example, they often try to get actors and actresses to wear their clothes in movies, in TV series, and at award shows; recruit NBA stars to wear and endorse their shoes; snag the best possible display locations at trade shows; arrange lunches, demos, and previews with influential members of the fashion press; and send free samples to people identified as trendsetters in hopes of generating positive exposure and word-of-mouth. Marketers need to have a finger on the pulse of pop culture, so they can see where the trends are going, which designs are likely to be most successful (or need the most help to be successful), and which groups of consumers are most likely to buy the clothing they're selling.&lt;br /&gt;If one word could describe what &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;merchandisers &lt;/span&gt;do, that word might be "presentation." They typically work for retail stores; it's their job to make the clothing that the store is selling (and for that matter the entire store or clothing department) seem as attractive as possible to the store's customers. They select which clothing items to sell (and which of those to prominently highlight), figure out the optimum amount of space to use for displaying them, what height to place things, which items to display together or next to one another, how to arrange any forms or mannequins involved, even what kind of signs and lighting to use and (sometimes) what kind of music to play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Sourcing specialists&lt;/span&gt;, or "sourcers," work for apparel manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, contacting suppliers (usually in China or elsewhere in Asia) to find either the raw materials needed to make clothes (fabrics, leather, dyes, etc.), manufacturers who will make clothing to your company's specifications, or particular types of already-finished clothing that match what your company is looking for. Sourcers need to be diplomatic, tactful, and culturally sensitive, yet have a keen eye for bargains and trends, be strong negotiators, and be able to keep track of where lots of sample packages and other shipments are at the same time. Being computer-savvy and fluent in both English and Chinese are big advantages in this kind of position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Buyers&lt;/span&gt; purchase clothing and accessories for their company, either on their own discretion or following the selections of the merchandisers or sourcers. They travel as needed to search for products at trade shows, preview new items that suppliers are offering, present these new products to company executives, negotiate prices and margins, and so on. They also track orders and make sure that purchased items are delivered on time to where they need to go. Just like most other fashion professionals, buyers need to consider target markets and key trends when they make their purchasing decisions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Stylists&lt;/span&gt; put together wardrobes, coordinate outfits, and do whatever else it takes to make fashion models and their surroundings look good for the viewers and cameras.&lt;br /&gt;All of the aforementioned people help get clothes onto the racks of a store or warehouse, but once a customer buys something, it's the job of tailors and seamstresses to take garments from "approximate fit" to "perfect fit."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Fashion writers, photographers, &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;videographers&lt;/span&gt; cover fashion shows, expositions, and the industry in general, keeping people everywhere in the world informed about styles, trends, and activity happening anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Costumers &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;costume designers&lt;/span&gt; create or select the costumes that actors wear in theatrical, film, or video-game productions. This is often normal contemporary dress, but can range from the period clothing of ancient Rome or Victorian England to the spacesuits of science-fiction epics. Some apparel companies employ &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;cosmetologists&lt;/span&gt; to work with their models and stylists, and other firms that meld women's fashion with personal beauty and cosmetics employ &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;cosmetic designers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-4637158050414306348?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/4637158050414306348'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/4637158050414306348'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2008/03/introduction-to-fashion-schools.html' title='An Introduction to Fashion Schools'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402204730860724946.post-8298033681654920052</id><published>2008-03-31T02:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-31T02:21:10.878-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='http://www.fashionschools.com'/><title type='text'>Top 10 Qualities of a Great Fashion Designer</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;The fashion industry is exploding and everyone, it seems, is vying for a part in the action. To get ahead in the business and sit with the ranks of Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, you as an aspiring designer should have some of the same qualities as the world’s top designers. Here are some of the qualities you'll need to succeed as a designer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;1.Strong Business Sense&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;A great fashion designer has excellent business skills. You understand budgets, marketing, and sales concepts that are vital to getting designs produced and sold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;2.Good Communication&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;A number of people are involved in the creation of a garment, and as designer, you must be able to effectively communicate to everyone involved what he or she expects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;3.Sense of Competition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;You continually strive to do better than your peers to come up with quality innovative designs quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;4.Highly Creative&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;You have a great sense of style and are constantly coming up with new ideas for fashions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;5.Strong Drawing Skills&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Excellent drawing skills mean you can easily sketch your ideas onto paper to start the production process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;6.Good Eye for Materials&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;You have an eye for the materials of a garment, as well as the elements that make it unique, such as color and fabric.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;7.Strong Sewing Skills&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;You can construct the garments you design. You understand what materials work best in the designs you are developing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;8.Team Player&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Great fashion designers work well as part of a team. Designing a garment for production involves the work of many, from pattern making to sewing to shipping. As designer, you must be able to work well with all involved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;9.Knowledgeable of Current Fashion Trends&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;You follows trends and have a good eye for anticipating what your audience will respond to next.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;10.Strong Visualization&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Abilities Good fashion designers can visualize a garment before ever putting an idea on paper. You can see the finished product well before production and can put your ideas into words and onto paper so others can grasp the idea as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

สถาบันพัฒนาอุตสาหกรรมสิ่งทอ รวบรวมสิ่งที่เป็นประโยชน์ต่ออุตสาหกรรม เพื่อประโยชน์แก่ สถาบันการศึกษาและผู้ประกอบการธุรกิจเอกชนทั่วไป ได้มีโอกาสมาศึกษาหาความรู้ เพื่อนำไปบรูณาการและเพื่อความยั่งยืนของอุตสาหกรรมแฟชั่น ไม่ปล่อยให้ธุรกิจอุตสาหกรรมนี้ล่องลอยไปตามกระแส อย่างไร้ทิศทาง ต้องชื่นชมกับความคิดและความตั้งใจดีๆ เหล่านี้ และขอให้สถาบันพัฒนาอุตสาหกรรมสิ่งทอ

/&gt;“การเปิดศูนย์สร้างสรรค์องค์ความรู้แฟชั่นในครั้งนี้ นับได้ว่าเป็นนิมิตรหมายอันดียิ่ง ที่จะเครื่องหมายแห่งการพัฒนาศักยภาพและประสิทธิภาพในด้านสิ่งทอของไทย ประเทศอิตาลีเองได้ให้ความร่วมมือกับสถาบันสิ่งทอในปีที่ผ่านมา การจัดส่งผู้เชี่ยวชาญในด้านฟอกย้อม จากประเทศอิตาลีมาให้คำแนะนำแก่บริษัทฟอกย้อมของประเทศไทย นอกจากได้มีการจัดสัมมนาแนะนำเทคโนโลยีในด้านฟอกย้อมของอิตาลีให้แก่ประเทศไทย อีกด้วย ดังนั้น การที่่ สถาบันได้เปิดศูนย์สร้างสรรค์องค์ความรู้แฟชั่นจึง เป็นการเปิดโอกาสให้ผู้ผลิตผ้า ได้มีโอกาสเชื่อมโยงกับนักออกแบบเสื้อผ้า หรือผู้ผลิตเฟอร์นิเจอร์ หรือแม้แต่ผู้ผลิตสินค้า ที่สามารถใช้ผ้าเป็นส่วนประกอบได้ ซึ่งจะเป็นการเพิ่มมูลค่าเพิ่มให้แก่บริษัทเหล่านั้นได้ จึงขออวยพรให้ศูนย์นี้สามารถ เป็นประโยชน์สูงสุดให้แก่ทุกหน่วยงาน บริษัท หรือแม้แต่นักออกแบบเอง เพื่อว่าประเทศไทยจะได้สามารถก้าวขึ้นมาเป็นผู้นำทางด้านสิ่งทอของโลกได้ในอนาคตอันใกล้นี้”&lt;br

certainly facing challenges but with challenges also come opportunities and FKCC is likely to be a useful tool for the industry to overcome challenges and seize opportunities. Over the decades, Thailand textile and fashion industry has carved itself a reputation for professionalism and it should continue polishing its image abroad as a reliable and quality supplier, especially with small and medium size international fashion companies, which are keen to innovate and promote quality brands. The world of design in Bangkok is vibrant and can further benefit from intermingling with the international design community. I am convinced that FKCC is the right platform to establish the necessary linkages between Thai and foreign fashion designers and to help draw a strategy that will help Thailand gain the place it deserves on the international scene. FKCC is keen to develop relationship with French designers and companies and it should be supported to do so, for the benefit of both the French and Thai industry. FKCC should also be instrumental in encouraging the Thai industry to develop a good command of the English language, necessary to obtain international status on the long run. Quality in communication, design and execution is a must, this is within&lt;br /&gt;the reach of many players in the industry and this should be the goal of all. It really was a pleasure to visit the new Fashion Knowledge Creation Center. ”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ccccff;"&gt;Pascale Slama&lt;br /&gt;Home Linens Designer and Manufacturer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_94Ox4mzP9Yg/Ru3jr5Ivi0I/AAAAAAAAAEM/H8y1mIcYxM8/s1600-h/Jennifer.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110991495346752322" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_94Ox4mzP9Yg/Ru3jr5Ivi0I/AAAAAAAAAEM/H8y1mIcYxM8/s200/Jennifer.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“FKCC is more than your ordinary library. Not only you can find great resources from books, you can also learn each fabric by their huge collection of sample swatch. It is a meeting point for buyers who look for sourcing in Thailand and local manufacturers. No matter you are a beginner or a professional in this fashion business, you will find this place amazingly resourceful.

ศูนย์สร้างสรรค์องค์ความรู้แฟชั่น</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ถาม 1.ที่มาและบทบาทของศูนย์สร้างสรรค์องค์ความรู้แฟชั่น (ได้รับงบประมาณสนับสนุนจากที่ใด)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ตอบ : ความเป็นมาและสถานการณ์ในปัจจุบันอุตสาหกรรมแฟชั่นเป็นอุตสาหกรรมหลักที่มีความสำคัญต่อการพัฒนาเศรษฐกิจของประเทศ อีกทั้งยังเป็นอุตสาหกรรมที่มีเชื่อมโยงธุรกิจและผู้ประกอบการ ตั้งแต่ต้นน้ำจนถึงปลายน้ำ สามารถจ้างงานและสร้างรายได้จากการส่งออกให้กับประเทศได้ปี เป็นจำนวนเงินมากกว่า 2 แสนล้าน เพื่อให้เป็นไปตามนโยบาย รัฐมนตรีว่าการกระทรวงอุตสาหกรรม ที่ได้เล็งเห็นความต่อเนื่องในการพัฒนาองค์ความรู้ผู้ประกอบการและหน่วยงานที่เกี่ยวข้องด้านแฟชั่น ให้มีโอกาสเข้าถึงข้อมูล และได้ใช้ประโยชน์สูงสุดร่วมกันพัฒนาอุตสาหกรรมแฟชั่น อย่างเป็นรูปธรรม ประกอบกับหลายๆ กิจกรรม ภายใต้โครงการกรุงเทพฯ เมืองแฟชั่นได้ดำเนินงานสิ้นสุดลง จึงอนุมัติงบประมาณสนับสนุนและมอบให้สถาบันพัฒนาอุตสาหกรรมสิ่งทอ เป็นผู้สานต่อและดำเนินโครงการและเปิด ศูนย์สร้างสรรค์องค์ความรู้แฟชั่น ชื่อย่อ FKCC โดยใช้งบประมาณปี 2550 จำนวน 7 ล้านบาทผ่านสำนักงานส่งเสริมวิสาหกิจขนาดกลางและขนาดย่อม (สสว.) ภายใต้กระทรวงอุตสาหกรรม&lt;br /&gt;หลักการและเหตุผล&lt;br /&gt;ปัจจุบันองค์ความรู้มีส่วนสำคัญเป็นอย่างยิ่ง โดยเฉพาะในธุรกิจอุตสาหกรรมสิ่งทอและเครื่องนุ่งห่ม ซึ่งมีการเปลี่ยนแปลงอยู่ตลอดเวลา จึงต้องอาศัยความฉับไว และทันต่อสถานการณ์ ในขณะเดียวกันจะต้องมีความเข้าใจและรับรู้ข่าวสารของแนวโน้มแฟชั่นในอนาคตเพื่อประโยชน์ในการออกแบบ การวางแผน การผลิตและการตลาดให้สอดรับกับสถานการณ์และรูปแบบที่เปลี่ยนแปลงทุกฤดูกาล และยังสามารถสร้างความได้เปรียบในการแข่งขัน อีกทั้งบุคลากรในอุตสาหกรรมแฟชั่นทั้งระดับบริหาร และระดับปฏิบัติการ ยังขาดความรู้ ความเข้าใจเกี่ยวกับธุรกิจแฟชั่น ทำให้ไม่สามารถปรับตัวได้ทันกับแนวโน้มการเปลี่ยนแปลงของแฟชั่น นอกจากนั้นการพัฒนาบุคลากรด้านแฟชั่นยังต้องมีปัจจัยสนับสนุนทั้งในอุปกรณ์การสอนและที่สำคัญ คือข้อมูลของธุรกิจแฟชั่น แนวโน้มของแฟชั่น และตัวอย่างของการออกแบบ และวัตถุดิบต่างๆ ซึ่งเป็นสิ่งจำเป็นในการสร้างบุคลากรด้านแฟชั่น อีกทั้ง โครงการศูนย์รวบรวมแนวโน้มแฟชั่น ซึ่งเป็นโครงการย่อยของโครงการกรุงเทพฯ เมืองแฟชั่น มีนโยบายมอบข้อมูลแนวโน้มแฟชั่นของศูนย์ทั้งหมดของโครงการให้แก่สถาบันพัฒนาอุตสาหกรรมสิ่งทอ เพื่อดำเนินต่อเนื่องและต่อยอดให้เป็นศูนย์กลางเพื่อสร้างสรรค์องค์ความรู้ด้านแฟชั่นต่อไปอีกด้วย ศูนย์สร้างสรรค์องค์ความรู้แฟชั่นมีหน้าที่ในการรวบรวมและเรียบเรียงข้อมูลไม่ว่าจะเป็นข้อมูลแนวโน้มของแฟชั่นในแต่ละฤดูกาล ความเคลื่อนไหวของแวดวงธุรกิจแฟชั่นหรือ ความรู้เกี่ยวกับการพัฒนาสินค้าแฟชั่นเพื่อเผยแพร่ให้กับผู้อยู่อุตสาหกรรมและธุรกิจแฟชั่นได้รับรู้และเรียนรู้ถึงทิศทางต่างๆที่จะเป็นไป ของตลาดโลกในอนาคต โดยจะเผยแพร่ผ่านสื่อต่างๆ ไม่ว่าจะเป็นสื่อสิ่งพิมพ์หรือสื่ออิเล็กทรอนิกส์ เพื่อให้เข้าถึงกลุ่มเป้าหมายได้รวดเร็วและตรงกลุ่มที่สุด&lt;br /&gt;วัตถุประสงค์ของโครงการ 1. เพื่อเป็นศูนย์กลางข้อมูลข่าวสารของธุรกิจแฟชั่น แนวโน้มแฟชั่น2. เพื่อสร้างองค์ความรู้และกระจายข้อมูลความรู้เกี่ยวกับธุรกิจแฟชั่น การออกแบบ การวิจัย และการพัฒนาแฟชั่น แนวโน้มทิศทางของแฟชั่น และข้อมูลข่าวสารเกี่ยวกับอุตสาหกรรมแฟชั่น ให้กับผู้ที่เกี่ยวข้องกับธุรกิจสิ่งทอและ เครื่องนุ่งห่ม3. เพื่อยกระดับความรู้ในการศึกษาแฟชั่น เพื่อเสริมสร้างศักยภาพในการพัฒนาบุคลากรด้านแฟชั่น และพัฒนาการ ออกแบบ การพัฒนาผลิตภัณฑ์ของธุรกิจอุตสาหกรรมแฟชั่นเพื่อให้ธุรกิจอุตสาหกรรมแฟชั่นมีข้อมูลเชิงลึกที่ช่วย ในการวิเคราะห์สามารถปรับตัวได้ทันกับแนวโน้มของแฟชั่น และสร้างความเข้มแข็งธุรกิจแฟชั่นไทยเพื่อเป็น ผู้นำแฟชั่นได้ในระยะยาว&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ถาม 2. ภายใน FKCC จะมีองค์ความรู้แฟชั่นด้านใดบ้าง และแหล่งความรู้นั้นมาจากที่ใดและอัพเดทมากน้อยเพียงใด&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ตอบ : องค์ความรู้แฟชั่น ภายในศูนย์ประกอบด้วยการกิจกรรมแบ่งได้ 3 ส่วนใหญ่ ๆ ด้วยกัน ได้แก่&lt;br /&gt;1. ศูนย์รวบรวมผลิตภัณฑ์สิ่งทอ (Thai Textile Products Center) พื้นที่ 300 ตรม.&lt;br /&gt;2. ห้องสมุดแฟชั่น ที่มีทั้งหนังสือแนวโน้มแฟชั่น นิตยสาร รายงาน ตำราข้อมูลเชิงลึก และมุมมัลติมีเดียที่แสดงภาพเคลื่อนไหว จากห้องสมุดของสถาบันฯ และศูนย์รวบรวมแนวโน้มแฟชั่นที่ย้ายมารวมบนพื้นที่ 400 ตรม.&lt;br /&gt;3. ห้องนิทรรศการ เรามีพื้นที่ 300 ตรม ไว้หมุนเวียนการจัดแสดงผลงานการออกแบบผ้าและเครื่องนุ่งห่ม&lt;br /&gt;จัดสัมมนาวิชาการ การทำ workshop ด้านแฟชั่น อีกทั้งเป็นการเปิดโอกาสให้นักออกแบบรุ่นใหม่ได้ใช้เวที นี้นำเสนอผลงานให้เป็นที่รู้จัก&lt;br /&gt;เรื่องขอการอัพเดท มากหรือน้อย ในปีแรกเราใช้งบประมาณที่ได้รับการสนับสนุน ไปกับการออกแบบและตกแต่งพื้นที่ การจัดหาข้อมูลจะทำต่อเนื่องและอัพเดทศูนย์ฯ ให้ดีขึ้นเรื่อยๆ เพื่อให้ข้อมูลและความรู้ที่เป็นสากล โดยองค์ความรู้จะประกอบด้วย&lt;br /&gt;· หนังสือแนวโน้มสี ผ้า แบบ และรูปทรง จัดหา ฯ ปีละ 2 ครั้งหรือ 2

style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ถาม 4. ขอทราบวิธีที่จะทำให้ผู้ประกอบการสามารถใช้ประโยชน์เข้าถึงข้อมูลเชิงลึกจาก FKCC ได้อย่างไร&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ตอบ : ผู้ประกอบการสามารถใช้ประโยชน์จากข้อมูลที่ศูนย์ฯ มีได้หลายทาง เพราะศูนย์ฯ เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของสถาบันฯ ซึ่งมีทีมงานที่มีประสบการณ์ เราสะสมข้อมูล ความรู้ ในอุตสาหกรรมแฟชั่นมานาน ไม่เพียงแค่การให้บริการห้องสมุดแฟชั่น มีหนังสืออยู่บนชั้นให้ดู ประโยชน์จากองค์ความรู้ที่ FKCC มีให้บริการ ยังช่วยงานรออกแบบ การวางแผน การผลิตและทราบล่วงหน้าถึงทิศทางการตลาดเเปลี่ยนแปลงตลอดทุกฤดูกาล ช่วยสร้างความได้เปรียบในการแข่งขัน หากผู้ใช้บริการรู้ลึกและเข้าใจนำ ประโยชน์ไปใช้ก็จะเกิดมูลค่าเพิ่มอีกมาก นอกจากนั้นทีมงานของสถาบันฯ จะช่วยต่อภาพ ให้ผู้ใช้บริการศูนย์ฯ ได้เห็นความเชื่อมโยงของอุตสาหกรรมแฟชั่น ตั้งแต่ สี วัสดุ รูปทรง แบบวาด ไปจนถึง เสื้อผ้าเครื่องนุ่งห่ม เปรียบเหมือนกับ การช่วยให้คนที่ยืนอยู่ข้างช้าง หลับตาเอามือคลำช้าง ก็สามารถบอกได้ว่าเป็นตัวอะไร&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ถาม 5. บริการพิเศษของ FKCC ที่แตกต่างจากที่อื่น&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ตอบ : FKCC เป็นศูนย์แฟชั่นที่ครบวงจร ตั้งแต่ ก-ฮ เราเป็นโครงการระดับประเทศ เป็นศูนย์กลางที่ตั้งขึ้นเพื่อกระจายความรู้ที่ถือว่าเป็นสิ่งที่มีค่า ทำให้ผู้คนได้รู้ ไม่ว่าเรื่องการจัดหาวัตถุดิบอย่างไร ? การที่ศูนย์รวมสิ่งทอและศูนย์สร้างสรรค์องค์ความรู้แฟชั่น อยู่ภายใต้อาคารอันเดียวกัน ก็เป็นประโยชน์อย่างมาก เพราะนักออกแบบจะได้มีโอกาสเข้าถึงนวัตกรรมผ้าชนิดใหม่ ช่วยลดความได้เปรียบเสียเปรียบของนักออกแบบรุ่นเก่าและนักออกแบบรุ่นเยาว์ ผนวกกับการฝึกอบรมให้เข้าใจของที่มาของการกำหนดแนวโน้มแฟชั่นต่าง ๆ สามารถถอดรหัส เข้าใจการกำหนด Themes หรือ ความสัมพันธ์กันก็ช่วยให้การออกแบบสามารถนำมาผลิตเชิงพาณิชย์ได้ สถาบันฯ ยังจัดหลักสูตรอบรมอีกมากกว่าปีละ 50 หลักสูตร สามารถต่อยอดความรู้ ได้ ทั้ง เส้นใย ผ้าผืน เครื่องนุ่งห่มจนถึงผลิตภัณฑ์แฟชั่น ช่วยสานฝัน สร้างนวัตกรรมใหม่ๆ ได้อย่างเป็นรูปธรรม เหล่านี้ล้วนเป็นสิทธิประโยชน์ที่ศูนย์มีให้&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ถาม 6. สถาบันพัฒนาอุตสาหกรรมสิ่งทอตั้งเป้าหมายกับ FKCC ไว้อย่างไร&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ตอบ : FKCC น่าจะเป็นจุดเปลี่ยน (Turning Point) ของวงการแฟชั่น และยังเป็น 1 ในโครงการย่อยที่สถาบันฯ ต้องกำกับดูแล การมี FKCC ยังช่วยเติมเต็มให้สถาบันฯ ในการทำประโยชน์ต่ออุตสาหกรรมแฟชั่นและอุตสาหกรรมสิ่งทอไทยเพื่อสร้างองค์ความรู้ให้ บุคลากรแฟชั่นแข่งขันกับต่างประเทศไดอย่างยั่งยืน&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ถาม 7. ขอทราบแผนการโฆษณาประชาสัมพันธ์และแผนการตลาด&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ตอบ : แผนการประชาสัมพันธ์ เราเริ่มการทำให้คนเห็นภาพรวมก่อน การสร้าง Corporate Image ก็เป็นเรื่องจำเป็น เวลาคนมองกลับเข้ามาจะเห็นสถาบันฯ ทั้งหมดและเห็นศูนย์ฯ เป็นหน่วยงานหนึ่งในสถาบันฯ ซึ่งต้องไปทิศทางเดียวกันก่อน ดังนั้นแผนประชาสัมพันธ์และการตลาดศูนย์ฯ จะเป็นหนึ่งในแผนย่อย สร้างการบริการสมาชิกและการกระตุ้นการรับรู้เกี่ยวกับกิจกรรมภายในศูนย์ฯ เป็นเรื่องสำคัญ เรามีแผนที่ต่อเนื่อง ทั้งระยะสั้น และระยะกลาง สถาบันฯ มีจุดแข็งเยอะ การประชาสัมพันธ์ ก็คงนำเอาสิ่งที่เราทำได้ดี และรู้ลึกมาประชาสัมพันธ์ แต่ก็ไม่ถึงกับวาดฝันในสิ่งที่ให้ไม่ได้ เดี๋ยวสมาชิกหรือผู้ใช้บริการจะผิดหวัง ซึ่งจะทำการตลาดเชิงลึก ก็คงทำตามเหตุและผล เพราะเราเป็นหน่วยงานที่ให้

I remember thinking it was the coolest outfit ever. I wore it all the time, like a uniform.who is your favorite designer, living or dead? Miuccia Prada is fantastic. Design, for me, is about incorporating all sorts of elements: commerciality, newness, wearability, creativity. She's able to combine them all and put something new on the runway every season.what's the worst fashion faux pas? Clothes that are too tight or too baggy.… Tight is more offensive than loose, though. Bras too tight—no.what was yours? I think when I was in college I wore too-tight T shirts.chanel or elsa schiaparelli? and why? Chanel. She's about lifestyle and chic. Travel clothes, resort clothes, the little black dress—she introduced something that was really aspirational to women.ultimate muse, and why? There's Julie Christie in Don't Look Now, and Françoise Hardy, Mia Farrow, Jane Birkin. Modern-day examples are Charlotte Gainsbourg, Sofia Coppola, Kirsten Dunst. They all have a tomboy's sensibility mixed with femininity—done in a casual, nonchalant way. what would you be if you weren't a designer? A photographer. I almost went to photo school. in what specific areas of business would you invest the $200,000 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award? I would employ technical people: seamstresses, pattern-makers, sample-makers to work in-house.

Or skirts, as they varied from pencil silhouette to pleats. Even coats came in abundant varied versions before warm winters downgraded their importance.&lt;br /&gt;But now, if you want to find delirious diversity, the subject is the dress. A harbinger of summer from the time of Jane Austen, the dress has come back into its own. And, yes, you can find just that innocent high-waisted look of Anne Hathaway in "Becoming Jane" - as long as you chop of the hemline.&lt;br /&gt;Dresses for all reasons and seasons were originally inspired by the revival of the Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress, although the designer herself pumped up the volume for the summer season. The wrap - as simple, but shapelier, than a pull-on T-dress - underscores the appeal of this fashion genre: for morning or evening, with one easy piece, you're done.&lt;br /&gt;The resuscitation of print has collided with the return of the dress to bring a sense of summer into every main street store. Prints Pucci-esque, floral or graphic give a bold touch or just a drizzle of romance. Patterns in muted shades seem more appropriate to work and city life, with black and white prints showing up on the fashion radar.&lt;br /&gt;Then there is the smock. If you are looking for a forgiving shape (which the wrap dress is not) there are any number of voluminous dresses that might suggest a baby in the works and would be pretty if you were pregnant. Chloé was the instigator of these girly smocks in white lace and broderie anglaise, plucking the look from an Edwardian childhood and making it into high fashion. The square dress, cut loose from T-shaped bodice and in substantial cotton, is a tougher version with an edge of workwear.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;At the opposite end of the volume chart is the wasp waistline. Shirt dresses belted tight above full skirts were a surprisingly grown-up look when presented with sumptuous accessories at Bottega Veneta. A hefty leather belt and similarly bold bag are a typical way of bringing into the fashion arena the classic shirt dress that stops just below the knee.&lt;br /&gt;Slimmer dresses, cut shorter and straighter, rather than with a gathered skirt, also come belted, either with a deep cummerbund, a narrow belt or even a sash at a raised waist. Those women who want - for reasons of authority or frigid air conditioning - to add a jacket will find this style the easiest to work with tailoring.&lt;br /&gt;The long-sleeved dress is a rare occurrence, but the vogue of cut-away backs and bra tops is on the wane, except as party clothes. Instead, designers are paying attention to the shoulder line, building the old-fashion cap sleeve into something more substantial. Pockets are another area where controlled volume is added, giving a casual feel that harks back to those distant Claire McCardle years of early American sportswear.&lt;br /&gt;How you wear your dress also determines the impression created. With platform soled shoes the effect is inevitably quite different than with thong sandals. Generally, anchoring a dress with substantial footwear looks the most modern.&lt;br /&gt;So does the dress-over-pants thing that is becoming a defining style of the 2000s. Many of the summer dresses have super-short hemlines. But treated like a tunic, worn over narrow pants, the dress takes on different proportions. Whether the idea is to create a summer outfit for a chilly spring - as in a cotton dress worn over a sweat top and jeans - or a more sophisticated meld of cropped leggings and geometric dress, the combination has been taken up with alacrity on the streets.&lt;br /&gt;The pairing also offers versatility, treating the dress as part of a wider mix, as seen too when a sweater dress is worn like a pinafore over tank or T-shirt. Since fashion now is all in the mix, that strategy applies also to color and texture. The plain surface of a dress can be broken up with different shades for top and bottom halves, as seen at Marni, or with varied materials bringing matte or shiny effects.&lt;br /&gt;And watch out for the autumn season, when a fashion stranger returns. Both Alber Elbaz at Lanvin and Raf Simons at Jil Sander have brought back the dart - a fold of fabric, essential in the 1950s and beloved by paper pattern users. It is designed to put shape and sensuality into the simplest dress and make it follow the body line.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iht.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=By" sort="'publicationdate&amp;amp;submit="&gt;By Suzy Menkes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Published: April 9, 2007&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-4362961729200736700?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4362961729200736700/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=402204730860724946&amp;postID=4362961729200736700' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/4362961729200736700'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/4362961729200736700'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2007/04/delirious-diversity-for-summer-dress.html' title='Delirious diversity for the summer dress'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_94Ox4mzP9Yg/RhtsHAqR5UI/AAAAAAAAABQ/Evg0D3_MJVw/s72-c/Summer07.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402204730860724946.post-1084897836798635891</id><published>2007-04-08T03:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-08T03:30:05.379-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Source : International Herald Tribune'/><title type='text'>Obituary: Steven Robinson, Dior designer</title><content type='html'>Steven Robinson, 38, the man seen as the alter ego of the fashion designer John Galliano, was found dead in his Paris home on Wednesday, according Sidney Toledano, president and chief executive of Dior. Unconfirmed reports said that he had died of cardiac arrest.&lt;br /&gt;Robinson, who joined Galliano's London studio on a student internship, sewing on buttons in 1988, concretized the romantic dreams and wild concepts of the British designer. Together they formed the perfect symbiosis of creativity and practicality.&lt;br /&gt;"He took John's kernel of an idea and made it reality - he was the huge engine and realizer at Galliano and very importantly at Dior," said the milliner Stephen Jones, who worked with Robinson last week on the new Dior cruise collection.&lt;br /&gt;Robinson, who was from Norfolk, England, dedicated his working life to Galliano and shared in his ups and downs, as the penniless Galliano team camped out with friends in Paris in the early 1990s but ultimately took over at Dior.

Everything. Yet today it has become increasingly difficult to find a name for a company, a product, even a new shade of lipstick that has not been taken already.&lt;br /&gt;"Finding names today is a total headache," said Bernard Fornas, the president and chief executive officer of Cartier. "Once you come up with a name that's interesting, you'll also discover that it's already registered."&lt;br /&gt;"In the end, it's all a legal game," said Joe Gubernick, chief marketing officer for Estée Lauder, who has been with the company for more than 30 years and recalls when the naming process was not so hard.&lt;br /&gt;What has changed, according to industry experts, is that companies and their distribution of goods have become more global than, say, 20 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;Now names have to be registered with the proper authorities in a company's home country and secured in a range of other nations. And the Internet, with its global reach, has greatly complicated the entire process. In addition, many products, particularly in the luxury and fashion categories, need a name that can convey a feeling or a sense of emotion — and do that across the world's many cultures and languages.&lt;br /&gt;"The word 'Viagra' is really meaningless," noted Jasmine Montgomery, the London-based deputy managing director of FutureBrand, a branding and marketing business in New York. Viagra and other made-up brand names get meaning only when they are backed with a lot of advertising and marketing.&lt;br /&gt;"But if I am launching a new fashion label, the task gets really hard because I have to find a name that communicates the creative style, or lifestyle, that the brand is supposed to embody," Montgomery said. "There's this high degree of emotion," which beauty businesses also require, that is not an issue for other industries, she said.&lt;br /&gt;For a global brand like Estée Lauder, the company trademarks the names of as many as 40 new products every year — and has been doing that around the world for the last 35 years. And that annual number does not include the hundreds of new products or colors that are the result of Lauder's line extensions or expansions, like a second kind of mascara within an existing group of cosmetics, a company spokeswoman explained.&lt;br /&gt;As for the Internet, the growth of trademarked domains — Web addresses or Web sites — is exponential, said Delphine Parlier, a co-founder and partner in Quensis, a Paris-based company with its own technology that integrates the creative process of choosing a name at the same time as it does the legal, cultural and linguistic screening that is necessary now.&lt;br /&gt;"Today, there are over 64 million domain names," Parlier said. "This compares to 45 million in August 2005." She added that her company's database of such names is updated daily to reflect new registrations as well as names whose registrations have expired and may be available.&lt;br /&gt;"Naming is not a problem for a small company with local distribution, but it's a big problem for global brands," Parlier said. "Before, it used to be like climbing a hill. Now, it's like crossing the Himalayas."&lt;br /&gt;Companies want a Web search to go directly to the proper name of their site or their product's site. But for years entrepreneurs around the globe have been registering any and all dotcom names, dreaming that one day some company will need a name they have registered and be willing to pay vast sums for it.&lt;br /&gt;In mid-January the luxury goods giant Louis Vuitton came upon such a legal snag in China, a country whose population of luxury consumers is on the rise while counterfeiting runs rampant.&lt;br /&gt;According to The Changjiang Times, a Wuhan businessman named Wang Jun had trademarked the phonetic translation of Louis Vuitton in Roman letters and Chinese characters. There were even reports that he was preparing to offer the trademarks to Vuitton for 120 million yuan, or roughly $15 million.&lt;br /&gt;Louis Vuitton last month denied it was trying to buy the trademarks and said it would appeal a 2002 decision by the Chinese Patent Re-examination Board that upheld Jun's rights to produce a handbag with various Vuitton motifs and logo.&lt;br /&gt;Naming is a costly endeavor, but there is no average price as each project can differ greatly.&lt;br /&gt;Fees for simply coming up with an unregistered name can range from a few thousand dollars for a one-market venture to more than $70,000 for a global name and dot-com domain, according to industry estimates.&lt;br /&gt;In addition, there are the legal fees for the registration process, which can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there may be costs related to the design of a logo or other elements."It's a real puzzle. The investment for a name can go from nothing to a very high price," said Fornas of Cartier. "A company has to decide what it wants to invest: How important is the product vis-à-vis the price to register its name," he explained.&lt;br /&gt;Despite the challenges, companies do have success stories.&lt;br /&gt;In 1998 Cartier developed a unisex fragrance that it wanted to call "Déclaration." Members of the development team proposed the name, then tightly crossed their collective fingers.&lt;br /&gt;"For a perfume, it was actually available! We wondered: How on earth could that be available? Such luck," Fornas recalled.&lt;br /&gt;Success also occurs when managers are creative, coming up with obscure or very hard-to-copy names.&lt;br /&gt;When Cartier wanted to name a new watch "La Doña" in tribute to the late Mexican actress María Félix, once among Cartier's most extravagant jewelry customers, it found that the name, not surprisingly, was available for a watch.&lt;br /&gt;Montgomery of FutureBrand gives the nail care company OPI kudos for its clever, hard-to-knock-off nail polish color names like "Didgeridoo Your Nails," a mauve hue from the brand's new Australia collection for spring- summer 2007.&lt;br /&gt;Choosing the right name also can be important in the creative process, said Jim Nevins, the creative director at Clinique who in 1997 came up with the name "Happy" for a perfume.&lt;br /&gt;"The fragrance was being developed before we had a name for it. I was watching a biography of Judy Garland on the A &amp; E channel one night and the song came on, 'Come on Get Happy,'" Nevins recalled. "I thought to myself: 'Who doesn't want to be happy?'"&lt;br /&gt;Nevins said the name actually helped direct the final stages of the product's development. An orange note was added to the fragrance and orange was chosen for the package color because, Nevins said, several consumer studies indicated that the color and smell of orange evoke happiness.&lt;br /&gt;The fragrance, however, could not be marketed under the single word "Happy." The company had some concerns it would be too generic, a spokeswoman said. And, when Clinique was registering the name, it learned that a small company already had registered a similar name, although for an item in another product category.&lt;br /&gt;As a result, the perfume is called "Clinique Happy," a phrasing combining the parent brand and the product name in what the industry calls a "lock up" — an arrangement that protects a combined trademark and has to be consistent in all applications, Montgomery said.&lt;br /&gt;Consumers, however, generally refer to the product as just "Happy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.iht.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=By" sort="'publicationdate&amp;amp;submit="&gt;By Katie Weisman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Published: March 1, 2007&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-8595298719762467263?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8595298719762467263/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=402204730860724946&amp;postID=8595298719762467263' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/8595298719762467263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/8595298719762467263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2007/04/when-luxury-companies-play-name-game.html' title='When luxury companies play the name game'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402204730860724946.post-3280006586126741958</id><published>2007-04-08T03:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-08T03:18:13.630-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Source : International Herald Tribune'/><title type='text'>Trendspotting in Paris</title><content type='html'>Published: March 5, 2007&lt;br /&gt;Coats: Cocoon back; military; stand-away, A-line peacoats; hooded; fur/feather chubbies.&lt;br /&gt;Jackets: Studded mess jackets; crested blazers; tailcoat backs;&lt;br /&gt;belted; square-cut; military details.&lt;br /&gt;Skirts: Slim over-the-knee; full circle from hips; return of the A-line.&lt;br /&gt;Pants: Skinny; drop-crotch jodhpurs; high-waist; occasionally big and cuffed.&lt;br /&gt;Knits: Clotted-cream thick, hefty cables; boyfriend sweaters; angora.&lt;br /&gt;Dresses: Tunics; A-line; strong-shouldered shifts; short- hem&lt;br /&gt;skating dresses; high-waist; crystals for day and evening.&lt;br /&gt;Hats: Deep-crown felt; pouchy berets; caps; hoods.&lt;br /&gt;Gloves: Elbow length; leather; suede; crocodile; shearling.&lt;br /&gt;Belts: Deep and corset-cinching; studded.&lt;br /&gt;Hosiery: Ribbed knit hose; bright colors; studded, ribbon&lt;br /&gt;patterns; knee-high socks.&lt;br /&gt;Shoes: Platform soles; ankle boots; patent leather; crocodile.&lt;br /&gt;Bags: Soft-fold envelope; ultra-large; knit and fur.&lt;br /&gt;Colors: Wine red; mallard blue; violet; mustard; orange;&lt;br /&gt;absinthe green.

Let's Start With the Suit 1. StyleMen's fashion changes, but you can't go wrong with a single-breasted, solid color suit in black, grey or dark blue. A single-breasted suit has the advantage of making you look slimmer in appearance as well.In men's formal wear a stylish suit conjures up a number of images that can all help you succeed in business or your private life. A suit can give an image of any or all of the following: Power, maturity, conservative, style or sexy. 2. Fabrics and PatternsWool is always a good choice; it looks great and wears well.Worsted wools are lightweight for the hotter months. Gabardine wools are heavier and great for the colder weather. Patterns for interview and business meetings should be limited to solids, stripes (pinstripe, chalk stripe, beaded-stripe), Glen plaids, and checks (hounds-tooth, windowpane, and herringbone).The ShirtMen with slim faces can wear collars that are wider, to help broaden their faces; on the other hand, men with wider faces can wear collars that are narrower, to help lengthen the faces.TiesSuits come in basic styles and colors, but ties can allow you to stamp your individuality.Today, many men don't wear ties and it's a matter of choice but if you do you will add a personal touch and show that you mean business.To make a statement wear a patterned tie with a patterned shirt. All you need to remember is that the color schemes are the same and that the patterns have to go in the same direction, to look coordinated.Don't forget the Length: It should hit the top of your belt and the Ideal width of ties is between no more that four inches at its widest.Combining Tie's Shirts &amp;amp; SuitsWhen choosing a jacket-shirt-and-tie trio, match its level of color contrast to your coloring, that's your complexion and hair color.If you're coloring is high-contrast say, dark hair and light skin, or vice versa--your jacket, tie, and shirt combo should be high contrast, too to match. If your hair-hide contrast is softer and lighter i.e. you're blond or gray-haired with pale skin, or dark-skinned with dark hair then you should choose lower-contrast clothes.Two different scales For Balance When you're combining two like patterns in the jacket-shirt-tie triangle, they should be of different gauges.If your suit has pinstripes 3/4 inch apart, your tie should have broader or thinner bands. If your suit is a striped one (with lines more than an inch apart), your shirt's stripes should be narrower.Also, if your shirt has a narrow stripe, your tie needs a wider stripe i.e. pair large with small.Always look for balance. De EmphasizeChoose clothes that de-emphasize your extremes.If you're short, look for strong vertical elements: pinstriped suits, two-button jackets. If you're thin, choose a jacket with wider shoulders to make you look broader. If you have a heavier build then wear darker colors and go monotone. WatchesChoose a large face, as these designs are generally accepted by everyone as looking stylish and business like.BeltA good quality belt doesn't have to be expensive and is a great investment.Your belt color should be matched with your shoes.ShoesBlack is the traditional safe color for work but Brown or ox blood colors can also look good. Use a variety of styles including loafers, wingtips, round-toe, or pointy-tipped shoe.Shoes are no place to economize, so get a quality pair and keep them clean!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-2693102252273802428?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/2693102252273802428/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=402204730860724946&amp;postID=2693102252273802428' title='123 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/2693102252273802428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/2693102252273802428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2007/04/dress-for-success-men-get-right-formal.html' title='Dress for Success - Men Get the Right Formal Look to Succeed'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>123</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402204730860724946.post-3871783090499165710</id><published>2007-04-08T03:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-08T03:07:42.495-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Source : http://www.premierimageconsultants.co.uk'/><title type='text'>Little Black Dress - How To Look Stunning With This Timeless Classic</title><content type='html'>Every woman needs at least one little black dress!&lt;br /&gt;It's the one garment you can always rely on when you are undecided what to wear. If you have the right dress, you can simply add some accessorizes for a chic and stunning look.&lt;br /&gt;Let's look at what makes the perfect little black dress and how you can wear it for maximum impact.&lt;br /&gt;The height of fashion since 1926&lt;br /&gt;Coco Chanel introduced the little black dress in 1926 and it has become the symbol of timeless fashion. A fashion must for every women, the appeal of the little black dress has never waned.&lt;br /&gt;Other trends and fashions come and go, but you will always be the height of chic with the little black dress.&lt;br /&gt;Here are five tips to look chic for that special evening&lt;br /&gt;1. Identify your key assets and show them off! You can highlight your back, shoulders arms breasts and legs. Pick a style that shows of your key assets&lt;br /&gt;2. Choose a dress that's comfortable and fits well. Your little black dress should allow you to move, suit walk or dance comfortably. A knee-ish length (just above, or below) sleeveless sheath is a safe style to buy that always looks great.&lt;br /&gt;3. Choose a well-constructed dress generally light wool or silk crepe with a lining are good and comfortable. The lining has the advantage of smoothing your figure to give the impression of a perfect fit.&lt;br /&gt;4. Use the 3-1 ratio' to really standout - Three parts conservative but use one for a daring touch. A daring touch would be something like, a low cut back, a daring plunging neckline, or a deep slit in the side. Always remember to keep legs bare or in very sheer hose for the classiest look.&lt;br /&gt;5. Accessorize your little black dress to really set off your look. A standout bracelet, a choker, or killer heels with a slim matching bag to add the final touch.&lt;br /&gt;Versatility&lt;br /&gt;A Little Black Dress is great for work as well as evening wear. Wearing your dress with a blazer or sweater and some knee length boots is a great look for work or an interview.&lt;br /&gt;Your dress can also go on holiday with you and will be perfect for a stunning look quickly. Be sure to choose a material that resists wrinkles and dries quickly and you are ready for any fashion emergency.&lt;br /&gt;Before Coco Chanel made it a fashion color, black was associated with mourning and death.&lt;br /&gt;The great thing about the little black dress is that it doesn't draw attention to itself and looks completely different on different people.&lt;br /&gt;The little black dress is and will remain a timeless classic, so make sure you use it to its full potential.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-3871783090499165710?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/3871783090499165710/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=402204730860724946&amp;postID=3871783090499165710' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/3871783090499165710'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/3871783090499165710'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2007/04/little-black-dress-how-to-look-stunning.html' title='Little Black Dress - How To Look Stunning With This Timeless Classic'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402204730860724946.post-596769352267931005</id><published>2007-04-08T03:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-08T03:04:22.039-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Source : http://www.premierimageconsultants.co.uk'/><title type='text'>Fashion Mistakes - 10 Looks To Avoid!</title><content type='html'>There are many fashion mistakes women make and here we have picked out 10 of the most common ones.&lt;br /&gt;Many people make these mistakes as they try to hard, or want to make sure they are wearing the latest fashions or styles regardless of whether they suit them or not.&lt;br /&gt;Fact is, anyone can present a stylish fashionable look. There are styles and fashions out there to suit everyone.&lt;br /&gt;10 common fashion mistakes&lt;br /&gt;1. Your clothes don't fit correctly.&lt;br /&gt;Wearing baggy clothes will add weight to anyone. Clothes that are too small accentuate bulges and can make you look ridiculous.&lt;br /&gt;Don't buy anything thinking that it will be "just right" if you lose weight. Buy for the present and in relation to your clothes size now.&lt;br /&gt;2. Wearing wrinkled clothes.&lt;br /&gt;A great suit or dress won't do you any favors unless it's wrinkle-free. Avoid this fashion mistake and buy clothes that are easy to care for and don't wrinkle easily.&lt;br /&gt;3. Fashion trends that don't suit you.&lt;br /&gt;Don't try to follow trends that don't suit you. Keep in mind your figure and age and only wear what looks good on you.&lt;br /&gt;There is nothing worse than seeing someone follow fashion for the sake of it. Face reality, if short skirts are in and you haven't got the legs for it don't do it!&lt;br /&gt;There are plenty of fashionable looks out there and it's a question of finding the ones that are best for you.&lt;br /&gt;4. Showing bra &amp; panty lines.&lt;br /&gt;Wear proper fitting undergarments under your clothing. If they do fit you correctly and you can still see lines, then your clothing is too tight. If you are dress size 14 except it and don't try and squeeze into a 10.&lt;br /&gt;5. Wearing skirts that are to short.&lt;br /&gt;Avoid this fashion mistake at all costs. Keep your bra straps properly adjusted so they're not hanging out. If your jeans and trousers are low-rise, your panties should be too. Don't wear a skirt or dress that is too short. Make sure you can sit, walk and dance without exposing undergarments. There's a huge difference between looking sexy and tacky!&lt;br /&gt;7. Wearing too many Colors.&lt;br /&gt;A common fashion mistake is using to many colors. As a general rule wear up to three colors only, for a easy on the eye coordinated look.&lt;br /&gt;8. Wearing too many prints.&lt;br /&gt;Don't try to mix and match prints or you'll create a look that's far too busy. Patterns don't look good on everyone. If you're one of those people that look good in just about anything, choose a pattern on the top or bottom, but not both.&lt;br /&gt;9. Using the wrong accessories.&lt;br /&gt;Finish off with accessories that match your style and don't over do it.&lt;br /&gt;For example with necklaces choose the correct length. For example, short chains and chokers tend to make your neck appear larger. If you are going out in evening wear make sure your handbag is sleek, small and coordinated, a big slouchy bag will totally ruin the look.&lt;br /&gt;10. Clothing &amp;amp; Shoes Should Match.&lt;br /&gt;Keep your clothing and shoes in the same color unless using black which goes with anything. Don't ever make the mistake of mismatching light and dark colors i.e. dark clothes and light shoes and vice versa.&lt;br /&gt;These fashion mistakes tend to come from people not accepting their body type and wearing the latest fashion because its popular.&lt;br /&gt;To look your best, always be true to yourself and you will present a stylish confident look that will create the right impression for all occasions&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-596769352267931005?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/596769352267931005/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=402204730860724946&amp;postID=596769352267931005' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/596769352267931005'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/596769352267931005'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2007/04/fashion-mistakes-10-looks-to-avoid.html' title='Fashion Mistakes - 10 Looks To Avoid!'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402204730860724946.post-8641635746676827903</id><published>2007-04-07T10:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-07T10:18:52.581-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Source: http://www.net-planet.org/fashion/fashion-top-fashion-designer.html'/><title type='text'>Want to be a Top Fashion Designer? - Then learn the Principles of Fashion Design</title><content type='html'>When you are interested in pursuing a career in fashion design, you should explore what some of the principles of fashion design are, before you can truly understand the depth of this occupation. With the principles of fashion design mastered, you may be on your way to creating designs that surpass even the brilliant minds of Calvin Klein, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Versace, as well as Dolce &amp; Gabbana. Fashion designers, who have mastered the principles of fashion design, go on to create the trends that we see displayed at fashion shows, and featured in magazines, such as InStyle and Vogue. The designs could be as serious as the times or as sexy as they want to be. The principles of fashion design do evolve with the changing tastes of society. Sometimes it is up to fashion designers to give consumers a little nudge in the right direction, as far as seasonal colors, trends and style go. More than often, fashion designers must pay attention to the changing desires on the streets. Many times designers are able to draw from the public when searching for ideas to use with respect to the current principles of fashion design. The principles of fashion design come into play when a designer sits down to create a sketch of their latest creation. The principles always state that every creation starts with a sketch. A special desire to create a certain type of garment may exist, or maybe the idea surfaced from outside contact involving street trends. Inspiration comes in many different ways, with designers drawing from the past, movies, magazines, as well as current events. When the sketch becomes a visual on a computer screen, numerous principles of fashion design are incorporated. Design software creates a graphic, which patternmakers and tailors can follow in order to develop a sample. This is when a designer can see their ideas and creations in the flesh. This will then give them a chance to alter things that do not materialize in the way that they expected. If the designer is successful in incorporating the principles of fashion design with this experience, they may produce a sample suitable for acceptance into a clothing line. A successful designer should know how to perform a variety of tasks in order to prosper in the business. Designers should know how to sketch their ideas; create patterns; choose relevant fabrics, materials and colors; work with other designers; be able to communicate with other production employees; as well as attend fashion shows and be aware of the latest fashion trends. When deciding upon a career in fashion design, as individual should know that in order to master the principles of fashion design, they should possess additional skills that would make life easier for a designer. Some of the skills needed to truly make an impression in the business is reading, writing, math skills; the ability to speak and listen; knowledge of computers; good problem-solving and decision-making skills; as well as a positive attitude.

President Bush had just lost control of the House and Senate in the United States, rendered him relatively powerless.&lt;br /&gt;The choice of a yellow-golden tie was not by chance. He was making a statement in non-linguistic communication, the language of the ties.&lt;br /&gt;The Message&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Bush was saying to the entire world, "I may have lost the House and the Senate, but I am not surrendering! I am angry at what happened, and will stand my ground!"&lt;br /&gt;The Language of the Ties&lt;br /&gt;Watching the news on television one will see many world leaders, corporate presidents, and other important people wearing single color ties. They are speaking in the non-linguistic language of the ties.&lt;br /&gt;A single color tie, worn on a white or light color shirt makes an instant statement.&lt;br /&gt;The tie itself serves no purpose in dressing anyway, and is a fashion item imported from the 18th and 19th centuries.&lt;br /&gt;However, as its worn today, it supports the neck and head visually, so you can use the tie to make a strong message to all who see you, just as Mr. Bush did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Here are some basic colors worn, and the message they project:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;. Red.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I am a fighter. I will not give up or give in. Don't mess with me. I mean what I say and say what I mean. I am aggressive (as in energetic) and take the initiative. Watch out, I am ready for all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. Dark Red (Bordeaux).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a thinker. I will mull over all I hear, and make a decision later. Do not underestimate me. I have the time to do things right. I am no one's fool&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. Vivid Blue.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's work together. Let's cooperate. Let's work things out. I am ready to compromise if it will be constructive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. Sky Blue.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Follow me and my dream. I will lead you in the right direction. I have hope in the future and you will too, listen to my message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. Marine Blue.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not in the mood for foolishness. Be serious when you are around me. Do not waste my time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;. Yellow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I am angry. Do you really want to take me on? I am ready to fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc9933;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. Gold.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not a quitter. I will finish what I started.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. Purple (Mauve).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the teacher. You will listen to what I have to say. I know what you need to know and will impart that information to you.&lt;br /&gt;Color Combinations - Design of Ties&lt;br /&gt;Not everyone is consciously sending you messages by wearing ties.&lt;br /&gt;World leaders and movers and shakers who are filmed by the press and are in the news know they must make statements.&lt;br /&gt;The guy next to you at work may not have the same idea.&lt;br /&gt;The color combinations and tie designs however are chosen by people in an unconscious manner.&lt;br /&gt;When they wear them however, they have made some choice.&lt;br /&gt;If their color combinations are predominantly in any of the colors above, they are making the same statements, or appropriately so.&lt;br /&gt;Consider the color of the guy's tie (predominant) and design. If they are confusing, he may be confused. If they are wild, you can guess his mood fairly well.&lt;br /&gt;Take time and analyze the tie, and then interpret the message. There is a very strong message to make in the language of the ties.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-4032753271054920100?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/4032753271054920100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=402204730860724946&amp;postID=4032753271054920100' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/4032753271054920100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/4032753271054920100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2007/04/ties-what-does-your-tie-say-about-you.html' title='Ties - What Does Your Tie Say About You?'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402204730860724946.post-7112240419236447997</id><published>2007-04-07T03:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-07T17:16:43.063-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mar 30'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Op-ed — Mari Davis DALLAS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2007 9:37 pm  / FW'/><title type='text'>Who Really Rules Inside A Fashion House?</title><content type='html'>March 30, 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;— The news that &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Hedi Slimane&lt;/span&gt; left his post at &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Dior Homme&lt;/span&gt; came no surprise to fashionistas who had heard rumors that negotiations of the renewal of Hedi’s contract was at a standstill.&lt;br /&gt;According to rumors during the Paris Menswear Fall 2007 season held last January, Slimane was asking for 2 million euros per month as salary. Paris fashionistas were divided on their opinion on this one.&lt;br /&gt;Some said that &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Hedi Slimane&lt;/span&gt; is worth it because Creative Directors are traditionally the ‘head of a fashion house,’ and should be treated as such, the way CEOs of company’s are who historically are paid in 6 figures.&lt;br /&gt;Others were scandalized, saying that though Slimane is one of the most influential menswear designers, he has overestimated the value of his name and influence.&lt;br /&gt;Opinions became more polarized when &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Bernard &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Arnault, CEO of LVMH&lt;/span&gt; said on a French television interview that he personally makes 19 million euros a month. Nicknamed the ‘Pope of Fashion’ and truly one of the most important names in fashion, the traditional Paris fashion crowd still sees &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Arnault&lt;/span&gt; as a financier. Historically, financiers are ‘lower’ in position than the Creative Director of a fashion house.&lt;br /&gt;To American fashionistas, the situation was a no-brainer. Used to the high salaries of CEOs in big corporations similar to LVMH, Bernard Arnault’s monthly gross income is understandable, even expected, considering that &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Bill Gates &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; Warren Buffet&lt;/span&gt; make more than that.&lt;br /&gt;As for Hedi’s asking salary of 2 million euros a month, American fashionistas saw it mostly as part of the negotiations. There was no polarity in opinion whether it was too high or too low. It was just a figure on the negotiating table.&lt;br /&gt;Still, this is a Parisian fashion house, and the historic &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Dior maison&lt;/span&gt;. And this is &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Hedi Slimane&lt;/span&gt;, charismatic and well liked by the fashion crowd, who has also reached the level of the popularity of a rock star. He has groupies for goodness sake!&lt;br /&gt;Emotions were high and camps very pronounced on which side one is on, reminiscent of the time when &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Yves Saint Laurent &amp; Tom Ford&lt;/span&gt; was ‘feuding’ fashion style.&lt;br /&gt;So, Thursday’s announcement that &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Kris Van Assche&lt;/span&gt; had been appointed as Creative Director of Dior Homme came as a denouement in this high fashion drama, and once again raises the question, ‘Who really rules in a fashion house?’&lt;br /&gt;When &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Charles Worth&lt;/span&gt; signed his name on his creations in the mid 1800s, the fashion designer was born and haute couture began its climb as the crème de la crème of fashion especially with the foundation of the &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture&lt;/span&gt; in 1868.&lt;br /&gt;For the next 100 years, the designer has defined a fashion house and his/her personality imprinted in the house, the best example is Coco Chanel, who 46 years after her death, her signature silhouettes are still seen in the latest Chanel collection.&lt;br /&gt;Still, Chanel is only one of the few design greats wherein the house survived after her death. Even &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Charles Worth&lt;/span&gt;, considered the Father of Haute Couture, the House of Worth is now relegated to perfume and a luxury line of underwear. Fashion innovators like &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Madeline Vionnet and Poiret&lt;/span&gt; are now just part of fashion history, their names unknown to the general public.&lt;br /&gt;Today, fashion houses are no longer a single proprietorships. Fashion houses are now corporations. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Giorgio Armani&lt;/span&gt;, one of the most respected names in fashion also had to incorporate, albeit there is only one stockholder, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Giorgio Armani&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Valentino&lt;/span&gt; is part of the &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Marzotto Group&lt;/span&gt;, and so is &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;John Galliano&lt;/span&gt;. PPR, under the &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Gucci umbrella&lt;/span&gt; owns &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and Balenciaga&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;As for &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;LVMH&lt;/span&gt;, the company owns the biggest names in fashion – &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Christian Dior, Givenchy, Kenzo, Louis Vuitton, Loewe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Renzo Rosso&lt;/span&gt;, under the &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Diesel umbrella &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;owns&lt;/span&gt; Diesel, DSquared &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; Martin Margiela&lt;/span&gt;. And if rumors are true, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Viktor &amp;amp; Rolf&lt;/span&gt; will also be under &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Diesel&lt;/span&gt; soon.&lt;br /&gt;In short, the single proprietorship fashion house is a dying breed, not because there are no talents out there, but like most businesses, it has to survive in the global economy.&lt;br /&gt;So, has the reign of the Creative Director as the &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;‘top honco’&lt;/span&gt; in a fashion house ended? No, it has not. The Creative Director still calls the shots, to use a vernacular. But, he or she no longer has absolute power. He or she now has to answer to stockholders, venture capitalists and a Board of Directors.&lt;br /&gt;In short, the Creative Director is no longer the ultimate boss. The current business conditions demand that the Creative Director answer to someone else. Even &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Ralph Lauren&lt;/span&gt;, founder and designer of the Ralph Lauren label now answers to a Board of Directors, though he has remained CEO of his own company.&lt;br /&gt;Paris is the center of the fashion universe when it comes to creativity. A hundred years ago, it was possible to be the creative head and the business head of a fashion house. In that regard, the Creative Director made the most money in terms of salary.&lt;br /&gt;But, a lot had changed since then. Mass communications and a global economy had forced everyone to specialize. Fashion houses were not immune to this trend. Single proprietorship fashion houses died out and corporations became the norm.&lt;br /&gt;So today, there are fashion groups - &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;LVMH, Gucci, Prada, Marzotto and Armani&lt;/span&gt;, which is a franchise on its own. Because of this set up, CEOs earn a higher salary than the Creative Directors of fashion houses because CEOs manages the whole group, usually an umbrella of companies.&lt;br /&gt;And if salary is the only measure of worth, then CEOs are worth more than the Creative Director of the fashion house. Of course, this is not really the case. It is a matter of point of view. And if we really want to get technical, it is based on how many stocks own in a company. Because at the end of the year, when dividends are being given, the more stocks one has, the more money it is worth.&lt;br /&gt;With this in mind, are corporations becoming the death of fashion houses? Absolutely not! Small houses wish to be picked up by big fashion groups to survive. Case in point, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Alexander McQueen&lt;/span&gt; left his post as Creative Director of &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Givenchy&lt;/span&gt; so that his eponymous label can be part of the &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Gucci Group&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Corporations and fashion designers live in a symbiotic relationship. Without the other, a fashion house will not survive. Though this might be a sad state of affairs to the traditionalist Paris fashion crowd, fashion like other businesses had become survival of the fittest. And its quest for survival, fashion houses has to make alliances.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-7112240419236447997?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/7112240419236447997/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=402204730860724946&amp;postID=7112240419236447997' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/7112240419236447997'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/7112240419236447997'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2007/04/who-really-rules-inside-fashion-house.html' title='Who Really Rules Inside A Fashion House?'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402204730860724946.post-7615650021585682206</id><published>2007-04-07T03:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-16T20:14:00.564-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Source Fashion Knowledge Creation Center by Thailand Textile Institute'/><title type='text'>Why do men never button the bottom button of your suit, sports jacket, vest or Cardigan sweater?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_94Ox4mzP9Yg/RhpGmkddeqI/AAAAAAAAABA/R88feJab-Ls/s1600-h/Men"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051427560485649058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_94Ox4mzP9Yg/RhpGmkddeqI/AAAAAAAAABA/R88feJab-Ls/s200/Men%27s+Suit.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_94Ox4mzP9Yg/RhohhkddenI/AAAAAAAAAAo/C3O_BFQ1PUg/s1600-h/Men"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Men's Fashion Mistakes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;Why be concerned with your appearance?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the story......&lt;br /&gt;King Edward VII, “Bertie”, son of Victoria (1841 – 1910, King 1901 - 1910) was so heavy that he could not get the bottom button fastened on his vest or to be more historically kind, maybe he just forgot. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;His subjects taking it as a fashion statement followed his lead and today most men’s suits, sports jackets or vests are not designed to button the bottom button&lt;/span&gt;. The tradition of not buttoning the bottom button may have also come from the early waistcoats, which were very long.

Keenan 2006'/><title type='text'>Wearing Black</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Not So Basic Black&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Black, the richer version of basic, can provide a chic look with a hint of everything from romance to business. Its modest appeal of the past has undergone a transformation into a fascinating presence of must have.&lt;br /&gt;Although a newer fashion trend may make its appearance in the stores every season, one of everybody’s favorites, black, is always there to dazzle the onlooker. In fact, creations in black, designed by fashion superstars, Jean Yu and Rochas, made an appearance at the Golden Globes this year&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;Tips for wearing black or rules to live by when it comes to wearing black:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Avoid 100% cotton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Cotton tends to fade as time passes. In addition to holding the dye longer and more completely with a higher luster, cotton with Lycra or mercerized cotton has greater strength and shrinks less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Prefer wool blends&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Wool fabrics create deeper and richer blacks. Since wool retains dyes better and longer, fading is less of a problem. Suits, skirts, and sweaters look exceptionally classy in woolen fabrics, and will last for years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Toss faded clothing immediately&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Clothing that has faded simply does not blend as well. Rather than risk looking tacky, toss the item and replace it with something exciting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Match completely&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Black clothing often presents a cast or shine of a different color, for example, purple, green, or brown. Therefore, you should take the time to match your clothing carefully when creating an all black outfit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Minimize fading&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Dark colors, especially black, should always be laundered in cold water to minimize fading. When washing an article of clothing for the first time, you can add a cup of vinegar to help set the dye. Dry cleaning, also, takes less of a toll on the dye and will help to keep your clothes looking fresh longer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Maximize appeal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Wearing black can create a sleek and mysterious vision, or it can create a picture that says too many words. Maintain the care of your outfits carefully. Avoid the build up of lint of all kinds through carefully laundering and matching up of your outfits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Accessorize to add a heightened look of elegance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Even the word, embellishment sounds pretty. Imagine what it can do for your outfit! Glitz and glitter add an air of excitement, so add a few unique pieces of jewelry, a snazzy purse, or stylish shoes to top off the perfect outfit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Personalize to create a unique statement&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Select a style that suits your physique and personality. Make it your own with a few simple modifications. Personalize your outfit with jewelry, layering, and other accessories.&lt;br /&gt;Not-so-basic black has become an intriguing component of fashion. Ensembles in black, including, cocktail dresses, evening gowns, business suits, jeans and jacket, and lingerie ensembles transform to visions of beauty, models of mystery, looks of professionalism, impressions of comfort, and images of romance. Black isn’t back, it’s simply here to stay!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-8396064556824851051?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/8396064556824851051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=402204730860724946&amp;postID=8396064556824851051' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/8396064556824851051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/8396064556824851051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2007/04/wearing-black.html' title='Wearing Black'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402204730860724946.post-3538008758454899157</id><published>2007-04-07T03:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-09T07:17:30.364-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Source : www.forbes.com'/><title type='text'>FASHION DESIGNERS WHO BECOME TASTEMAKER</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_94Ox4mzP9Yg/RhpK7kdderI/AAAAAAAAABI/40CBn7tKyUY/s1600-h/designers.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051432319309413042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_94Ox4mzP9Yg/RhpK7kdderI/AAAAAAAAABI/40CBn7tKyUY/s400/designers.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;See who is who behind the luxurious brand success&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tory Burch&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Awards: Fashion Group International 2005 Rising Star Award&lt;br /&gt;Press mentions: 483&lt;br /&gt;In 2004, this Manhattan socialite and mother of six (three from estranged husband Christopher Burch's previous marriage) channeled her sporty and preppy style into a clothing and lifestyle brand worn by soccer moms and celebrities alike. Burch creates punchy, wearable designs and has a say in everything from marketing to packaging and selling the brand. She has six standalone stores in shopping hot spots such as Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles and Highland Park Village in Dallas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Thom Browne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Awards: 2006 CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year; finalist, Cooper Hewitt National Design Award 2006&lt;br /&gt;Press mentions: 328&lt;br /&gt;Disproportionate, skinny ensembles may not fit everyone, but with designs such as these, some say, Browne has single-handedly rescued the suit from extinction. Also creating a stir: His partnership with Brooks Brothers to design a menswear collection called Black Fleece launching in September.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Marc Jacobs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Awards: 1986 CFDA Designer of the Year and 1989, 1992, 1997 CFDA Women's Wear Designer of the Year; 1999 and 2003 CFDA Accessories Designer of the Year; 2000 CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year&lt;br /&gt;Press mentions: Over 3,000&lt;br /&gt;There is no denying that designer Marc Jacobs is a fashion industry favorite. His partnership with Louis Vuitton has allowed him to oversee the creative direction of the brand in addition to cultivating his own menswear, women's wear and accessories lines. And as if he didn't have enough to do, Jacobs this year is expected to launch a lower-priced line, M3, which will boast lower price points than his other collections and ensure his presence in all areas of the retail sector.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Nicolas Ghesquiere, Balenciaga&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Awards: October 2000, honored with the VH1 Avant-Garde Designer of the Year award; June 2001, received the CFDA International Design Award in New York; 2006 designer of the year for the China Fashion Award&lt;br /&gt;Press mentions: 72 for Nicholas Ghesquiere; 2,857 for Balenciaga&lt;br /&gt;Balenciaga has been a favorite of first ladies, socialites and the fashion elite for decades, but it wasn't until then 25-year-old Nicolas Ghesquiere came to the house in 1997 that the brand took on a more modern flair. Now, he dresses such stars as Nicole Kidman, who wore Ghesquiere's frothy creation for her 2006 wedding to crooner Keith Urban as well as his bright red halter gown to this year's Academy Awards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Reed Krakoff, Coach&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Awards: American Fashion Award for Accessories Designer of the Year, 2001 and 2004.&lt;br /&gt;Press mentions: 135&lt;br /&gt;Krakoff, Coach's president and executive creative director, made a push last year to take the company back to its upscale beginnings, from which it had deviated with less-luxe offerings, by introducing "Coach Legacy." These standalone stores (one each in New York and Los Angeles) will carry luxury leathers priced, on average, 45% higher than merchandise in the company's other stores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Christian Louboutin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awards: Fashion Footwear Association of New York Designer of the Year 2006&lt;br /&gt;Press mentions: 257&lt;br /&gt;The popular Louboutin has an uncanny ability to be on the heels of some of the most glamorous women in fashion. His signature red sole and in some cases four-inch heels rival in popularity those of Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo. By infusing each $400-plus pair with such materials as cork, exotic snake skin or candy-colored patent leather, Louboutin is changing how we view high-end shoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Proenza Schouler&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awards: CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Contest, 2003&lt;br /&gt;Press mentions: 793&lt;br /&gt;Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are making a mark with their partnership with Target. While the retailer solicits numerous young designers, this collection, called Proenza Schouler for Target, is the first to be sold internationally--at the trendy Paris boutique Colette.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Derek Lam, Tods&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Awards: Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award in 2003, CFDA Perry Ellis Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent in Women's Wear 2005&lt;br /&gt;Press mentions: 591&lt;br /&gt;As creative director of Tods, Derek Lam runs the ready-to-wear and accessories divisions and is injecting both with his own edgy aesthetic. Lam spent eight years cutting his teeth after graduating from Parsons School of Design by working at Michael Kors before his first collection hit the runway in 2004. At Tods, he will be allowed to grow his own business, while giving the fashion house known for its driving shoes and signature leather handbags a fresh spin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Alber Elbaz, Lanvin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Awards: CFDA International Fashion Award, 2005&lt;br /&gt;Press mentions: 1,658&lt;br /&gt;Lanvin (established by Jeanne Lanvin in 1889) is synonymous with luxury, opulence and high society. When Elbaz was named artistic director in 2001, he modernized it. The result Cinched waists, pencil skirts and a feminine look more about structure than flounce, currently en vogue. Elbaz doesn't ignore the history of his house while being new, fresh and cutting-edge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hedi Slimane, Dior Homme&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awards: CFDA International Designer of the Year, 2002&lt;br /&gt;Press mentions: 545&lt;br /&gt;With his alternative punk rock-esque looks, Hedi Slimane could easily be mistaken for the front man of a rock group instead of the designer of one of world's most recognized luxury brands. Slimane is a true renaissance man with edge--with a background in photography, set design and film, he infuses his unique aesthetic into his collections. In 2002, Slimane became chief designer of Dior Homme for Christian Dior, revolutionizing the way men wear their clothes by leading the current trend in skinny men's suits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-3538008758454899157?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/3538008758454899157/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=402204730860724946&amp;postID=3538008758454899157' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/3538008758454899157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/3538008758454899157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2007/04/fashion-designers-who-become-tastemaker.html' title='FASHION DESIGNERS WHO BECOME TASTEMAKER'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_94Ox4mzP9Yg/RhpK7kdderI/AAAAAAAAABI/40CBn7tKyUY/s72-c/designers.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402204730860724946.post-8409694727671103028</id><published>2007-04-07T03:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-25T00:38:33.951-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Source Fashion Knowledge Creation Center by Thailand Textile Institute'/><title type='text'>Fashion Careers</title><content type='html'>If you have an eye for style , the drive and desire to turn it into a profitable and rewarding career?

A particular style of this was adapted and popularized by British dandy &lt;a title="Beau Brummell" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beau_Brummell"&gt;Beau Brummell&lt;/a&gt; by the early 1800s.&lt;br /&gt;In the 1660s, restored English king Charles, following the example of the court of &lt;a title="Louis XIV of France" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_XIV_of_France"&gt;Louis XIV&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a title="Versailles" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versailles"&gt;Versailles&lt;/a&gt; decreed in 1666 that at court, men were to wear a long &lt;a title="Coat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat"&gt;coat&lt;/a&gt; or jacket, a &lt;a title="Waistcoat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waistcoat"&gt;waistcoat&lt;/a&gt; (originally called a &lt;a title="Petticoat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petticoat"&gt;petticoat&lt;/a&gt;, a term which later became applied solely to women's dress), a &lt;a title="Cravat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cravat"&gt;cravat&lt;/a&gt; (ancestor of the modern &lt;a title="Necktie" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necktie"&gt;necktie&lt;/a&gt;), a &lt;a title="Wig" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wig"&gt;wig&lt;/a&gt;, and breeches or &lt;a title="Trousers" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trousers"&gt;trousers&lt;/a&gt; gathered at the knee, as well as a hat for outdoor wear.&lt;br /&gt;By the early 1800s, Britisher Brummel's style trend led men in Europe to wear understated, beautifully cut, perfectly tailored versions, adorned with elaborately knotted neckwear. Brummell's stylistic influence is credited with introducing and bringing to fashion the move for a pared-down modern man's suit worn with necktie. He additionally popularized regular bathing for males which went with his versions of the suit. (Johnson, Birth of the Modern)&lt;br /&gt;Coats with matching trousers or even waistcoat have gone in and out of fashion over the last four centuries however the modern lounge suit coat is still derived from historical coats. Although it is hard to see the outline of the modern business suit coat in the elaborate and brightly-coloured court dress of the seventeenth century, the basic pattern has survived for more than four hundred years with some adjustments, despite the abandonment of &lt;a title="Wigs" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigs"&gt;wigs&lt;/a&gt; and knee breeches after the &lt;a title="French Revolution" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution"&gt;French Revolution&lt;/a&gt;, the rise of British &lt;a title="Tailor" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailor"&gt;tailoring&lt;/a&gt;, which used steam, pressure, padding, and stiffening to mould woolen fabric to the body, the invention of the modern &lt;a title="Necktie" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necktie"&gt;necktie&lt;/a&gt; in the late nineteenth century, and the gradual disappearance of waistcoats and hats during the last fifty years.&lt;br /&gt;What we call the modern suit was originally a nineteenth-century English innovation in dress. Originally the term usually referred to a &lt;a title="Lounge suit" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lounge_suit"&gt;lounge suit&lt;/a&gt; and was worn only in the country and at the seaside. At that time &lt;a title="Morning dress" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_dress"&gt;morning dress&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a title="Frock coat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frock_coat"&gt;frock coats&lt;/a&gt; were not part of a 'suit' because they were usually worn with non-matching striped trousers, and having matching &lt;a title="Waistcoat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waistcoat"&gt;waistcoat&lt;/a&gt; and trousers was originally considered more informal. The term "ditto suit" was also transiently used due to the matching &lt;a title="Waistcoat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waistcoat"&gt;waistcoat&lt;/a&gt; and trousers, these sometimes having coats more resembling a &lt;a title="Frock coat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frock_coat"&gt;frock coat&lt;/a&gt; or a &lt;a title="Morning coat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_coat"&gt;morning coat&lt;/a&gt;. The "sack suit" is a North America derivative of the English lounge suit which looked even looser and more casual because it lacked darts. In the nineteenth century, for more informal occasions, men still wore &lt;a title="Morning dress" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_dress"&gt;morning dress&lt;/a&gt; as a more casual alternative to the formal &lt;a title="Frock coat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frock_coat"&gt;frock coats&lt;/a&gt; then considered appropriate business and day time &lt;a title="Formalwear" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formalwear"&gt;formalwear&lt;/a&gt;. The lounge suit was thus an even more casual form of dress and was reserved solely for recreation activities.&lt;br /&gt;The lounge suit became increasingly popular through the later nineteenth century as casual town daywear until it started to become an acceptable alternative to the &lt;a title="Morning coat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_coat"&gt;morning coat&lt;/a&gt; as town wear in the early twentieth century. As the lounge suit became increasingly popular, even the humblest men would have at least one suit to wear on Sunday to church as part of their "&lt;a title="Sunday best" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_best"&gt;Sunday best&lt;/a&gt;." Victorian men who were able to afford it would still wear a &lt;a title="Frock coat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frock_coat"&gt;frock coat&lt;/a&gt; to church. Prior to 1935 (and again for a short time in the 1970's) men preferred their jackets and waistcoats to be fitted snugly. The trend since 1935 has been for loose fitting jackets. The &lt;a title="Waistcoat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waistcoat"&gt;waistcoat&lt;/a&gt; or vest was worn regularly with the suit until &lt;a title="World War II" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II"&gt;World War II&lt;/a&gt; when it fell out of fashion due to the loose style then in fashion. The waistcoast returned to fashion when the fitted style became prevalent once again in the the 1970's. This style quickly became associated with &lt;a title="Disco" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco"&gt;disco&lt;/a&gt; music and culture. Movies like &lt;a title="Saturday Night Fever" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Fever"&gt;Saturday Night Fever&lt;/a&gt; helped popularise the waistcoat as a fashionable piece of dresswear. The three-piece suit quickly became associated with the disco culture. The backlash against &lt;a title="Disco" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco"&gt;disco&lt;/a&gt; quickly led to the demise of the popularity of three piece suits which were criticized as being "effeminate" by men such as &lt;a title="Steve Dahl" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Dahl"&gt;Steve Dahl&lt;/a&gt; who disapproved of disco and organized a campaign to get rid of anything associated with it. By 1983, the wearing of waistcoats had become a rare sight. This is exacerbated by the fact that men prefer loose fitting coats. A waistcoat that is not fitted properly will rise when one sits down and will quickly become uncomfortable.&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the nineteenth century, an informal evening version of the lounge suit emerged in England, known as a &lt;a title="Dinner jacket" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinner_jacket"&gt;dinner jacket&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a title="British English" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_English"&gt;British English&lt;/a&gt;, in a dress code referred to as &lt;a title="Black tie" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_tie"&gt;black tie&lt;/a&gt;. When it was imported to the United States, it became known as as the &lt;a title="Tuxedo (clothing)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuxedo_(clothing)"&gt;tuxedo&lt;/a&gt; or the penguin. The &lt;a title="Dinner jacket" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinner_jacket"&gt;dinner jacket&lt;/a&gt; was originally called a 'dress lounge' in England to indicate that it was a lounge suit for evening wear. The 'dress lounge' was originally worn only for small private gatherings and white &lt;a title="Tail tie" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tail_tie&amp;amp;action=edit"&gt;tail tie&lt;/a&gt; was worn for large formal events. The 'dress lounge' slowly became more popular for larger events as an alternative to full evening dress in &lt;a title="White tie" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_tie"&gt;white tie&lt;/a&gt;. As black tie grew in popularity, it has became increasingly acceptable as &lt;a title="Formalwear" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formalwear"&gt;formalwear&lt;/a&gt; and today has all but replaced &lt;a title="White tie" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_tie"&gt;white tie&lt;/a&gt;, which today is only seen at ultra-formal occasions. The daytime formal equivalent to white tie is &lt;a title="Morning dress" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_dress"&gt;morning dress&lt;/a&gt;, but in the &lt;a title="United States" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States"&gt;United States&lt;/a&gt; this too has become uncommon and the daytime semi-formal dress called the &lt;a title="Stroller (style)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroller_(style)"&gt;stroller&lt;/a&gt; is more common. The stroller is itself a form of 'dress lounge' - a day time &lt;a title="Semi-formal" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-formal"&gt;semi-formal&lt;/a&gt; lounge suit version of &lt;a title="Morning dress" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_dress"&gt;morning dress&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-2236661993758556448?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/2236661993758556448/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=402204730860724946&amp;postID=2236661993758556448' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/2236661993758556448'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/2236661993758556448'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2007/04/history-of-mens-suits.html' title='History of Men&apos;s suits'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_94Ox4mzP9Yg/RhomC0ddepI/AAAAAAAAAA4/uENzAdrge1A/s72-c/Suit.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-402204730860724946.post-944363857336274697</id><published>2007-04-07T02:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-07T02:40:54.749-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='source from &#x9;Andy Gilchrist http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com'/><title type='text'>The Ten Most Common Men's Fashion Mistakes</title><content type='html'>Why be concerned with your appearance?  Is it really that important to your career, romance, or influence over others?&lt;br /&gt;Absolutely!!! &lt;br /&gt;It’s a scientific fact that people who don’t know you make up their minds about you on a subliminal/prehistoric basis in 30 seconds or less.  This evaluation of you by others takes place so quickly and is so entrenched in the human brain that it is not usually conscious thought. &lt;br /&gt;Behavioral scientists tell us that we notice the following about another human being and in this order: Skin color, Sex, Age, Bearing (height, body language, etc.), Appearance, Direct Eye Contact, and Speech.  The first three we can do nothing about, but we can take advantage of this knowledge to enhance and control how to present the best image of ourselves. &lt;br /&gt;Since 80% of what others see is our clothes, lets look at some basic faux pas:&lt;br /&gt;1.  Never wear a short sleeve shirt with a tie.  Short sleeve shirts are perceived as lower class apparel.  Fine as part of a uniform or if you aspire to be a fast-food manager, not if you want to project a professional image.&lt;br /&gt;2.  Shoes are one of the most evaluated elements of men's wardrobes.  Your shoes should be clean, shined, in good repair and appropriate for the occasion.  If you are wearing a suit, wear lace-up shoes.  Don’t wear the same shoe on consecutive days and keep shoetrees in your shoes when you’re not wearing them.&lt;br /&gt;3.  Trousers should be long enough to cover your socks, and socks should cover your shins even when you cross you legs.   Pants are long enough if they have a slight break in the front.  Pleats and cuffs are traditional and functional.  Pleats let you sit down comfortably and cuffs add weight to the bottoms allowing for proper drape.4.  Never wear both a belt and braces (suspenders).  You'll appear insecure.&lt;br /&gt;5.  Socks should match your trousers.  6.  Belts should match your shoes.&lt;br /&gt;7.  Ties should reach your belt line. This is neither arbitrary nor negotiable.  Too short of a tie makes you look like a rube. &lt;br /&gt;8.  Properly knotted ties have a “dimple” under the knot.  Clips and tacks are out of date.&lt;br /&gt;9.  Suit and Sports jackets are symbols of authority.  However the bottom buttons of men's jackets are not designed to be buttoned, since King Edward VII gained weight, and started a fashion trend (see detail below).&lt;br /&gt;Single Breasted suits can have one, two, three or more buttons.   Two and three button jackets are classic, one or more than three get you into the fashion forward arena, which is more suitable for social events than business.  With two button jackets only the top button is fastened.&lt;br /&gt;With three button jackets, you can close the middle, or middle and top button.  Some suits are made so that the lapels roll to the middle button.  On those suits you leave the top button unfastened.  Some East Coast hipsters fasten only the top of three buttons!&lt;br /&gt;Four or more button jackets may be designed to fasten all the buttons, even the bottom.  If the bottom button of a four button can be closed without a noticeable pulling of the fabric, it’s ok to close or leave it open.&lt;br /&gt;Double Breasted suits are the more formal of the two styles and can have four to six buttons with one or two “to button”.  They are often identified by a two-number designation such as 4/2, 4/1 or 6/2 (also “four to two”).Translated, the first number gives the total number of front buttons and the second is the number of functioning buttonholes.  It doesn’t always mean that all the buttons have to be fastened.&lt;br /&gt;Often only the middle or upper button is secured on a 4/2 or 6/2, but the Duke of Kent started buttoning only his lower button creating a longer diagonal line across his chest giving the wearer a thinner, more dynamic look.&lt;br /&gt;Why do men never button the bottom button of your suit, sports jacket, vest or Cardigan sweater?  &lt;br /&gt;King Edward VII, “Bertie”, son of Victoria (1841 – 1910, King 1901 - 1910) was so heavy that he could not get the bottom button fastened on his vest or to be more historically kind, maybe he just forgot.  His subjects taking it as a fashion statement followed his lead and today most men’s suits, sports jackets or vests are not designed to button the bottom button.  The tradition of not buttoning the bottom button may have also come from the early waistcoats, which were very long.  It may have been out of necessity of being able to walk that the bottom buttons were left undone.&lt;br /&gt;10. Suit and Sports jackets should fit properly which includes showing 1/4" to 1/2” of “linen” or shirtsleeve at the jacket sleeve.&lt;br /&gt;We live in a complex, crowded society where considerate people dress appropriately for various places and occasions.  Dressing appropriately is about respect for your fellow humans and our institutions.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/402204730860724946-944363857336274697?l=fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/feeds/944363857336274697/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=402204730860724946&amp;postID=944363857336274697' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/944363857336274697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/402204730860724946/posts/default/944363857336274697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fashionknowledgecreationcenter.blogspot.com/2007/04/ten-most-common-mens-fashion-mistakes.html' title='The Ten Most Common Men&apos;s Fashion Mistakes'/><author><name>Fashion Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01936461446770967525</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
