Steampunk fashion heading for the mainstream



'Steampunk' fashion heading for the mainstream, researcher says - seattlepi.com: ""What if the Victorians had access to digital technology? What would it look like? It certainly wouldn't look like anything we see today. All of our digital devices wrapped in generic plastic. If the Victorians had access to all of our new technology, it would be done in beautiful woods, brass rivets and there'd be an exposed mechanical element to all of the devices," Art Donovan, steampunk curator at the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford University. That pretty much sums up the style and historical milieu of the increasingly popular steampunk designs and fashion, which a number cruncher for IBM says is going to go mainstream in the next two years. . . ."

Prefall Fashion Shows

Prefall Fashion Shows - Easygoing Tailoring and Tweeds - NYTimes.com: " . . . prefall collections resumed this week after a holiday break (we heard about people’s trips to St. Barth and the Bahamas), with presentations by European brands. A sign of how important these showings are, creative directors were in attendance: Peter Copping of Nina Ricci, Clare Waight Keller of Chloé, Alber Elbaz of Lanvin. Store chiefs turned up as well, along with editors and a few celebrities. . . . Store buyers have said they want to see more fashion in preseason collections, not just a bunch of commercial clothes. For some designers, like Mr. Copping, the challenge is to create more everyday looks — sweaters, skirts, coats — and not just frilly runway treats. His collection had lots of substance, starting with tweeds and other masculine fabrics, and suits that had a relaxed yet polished attitude. They looked like something you’d think about wearing. Also strong were knits and dark coats with reverse lapels. . . ."

Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld

Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld Talk About Themselves - NYTimes.com: " . . . Mr. Jacobs admitted to the occasional doubt about his designs, or how long customers will be interested in the artist collaborations he does with Louis Vuitton. Despite any dark moments, however, his passion always seems to come back. “Even when I think that I’m jaded, or that this is just doing ‘this’ again,” he said, “then I get surprised and excited all over again.” Mr. Lagerfeld, by comparison, chooses to gloss over the past. He would never write a memoir because there are people who may have played an unpleasant role in his life, he said, “and I don’t want to give them the pleasure of ever mentioning their name.” But it takes a lot of effort these days to keep people engaged, which is why he has shown recent Chanel collections in far-out places like a castle in Edinburgh. Next time, he said, he wants to show in Dallas. “Today, everything is shown on the net and on TV,” Mr. Lagerfeld said. “When you have a show with only girls coming out of the door and walking across the runway, it is O.K. for the fashion freaks, but the public gets very bored, very quickly. They need some magic around it.” The take-away from this conference, perhaps, is that designers need to keep being titillating, at least for their sake if not ours. . . "

Tory Burch Becomes Billionaire

Tory Burch Becomes Billionaire as Ex-Husband Sells Stake - Businessweek: "“The performance of IPOs from Prada and Michael Kors are a setup for an offering from Tory Burch this year,” said Sam Hamadeh, CEO of PrivCo, in a telephone interview. “Right now, hers is mostly a U.S. brand. The upper class, preppy American look she sells -- and lives -- puts her in a good position to do very well overseas.” Tory Burch LLC sells handbags, shoes, dresses and eyeglasses through more than 80 Tory Burch retail stores and other outlets, such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s. In fiscal year 2012, the company generated more than $760 million in revenue and about $230 million in earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization, PrivCo said."

Amazon most satisfying website to shop

Amazon most satisfying website to shop: survey - Business on NBCNews.com: "Flash sale sites Gilt.com and RueLaLa.com were among the worst performers in online shopping satisfaction this season, according to ForeSee's Holiday E-Retail Satisfaction Index. "The importance of satisfying them and giving a great consumer experience is going to pay back huge dividends in terms of profitability for these retailers," said Larry Freed, president and chief executive officer of ForeSee, which measures customer satisfaction for companies, including retailers. Amazon has held the highest score in each of the eight years of the index, due in part to the wide variety of merchandise it offers and a site that is easy to use. "They've really done a great job in setting the standard for everybody else," Freed said of Amazon. Amazon's score was again 88 out of 100, while Gilt.com and Fingerhut.com shared the lowest score of 72. LLBean.com had the second-highest ranking, 85, up 4 points from a year earlier. "

Jennifer Mankins and the Brooklyn Aesthetic

Jennifer Mankins and the Brooklyn Aesthetic - NYTimes.com: ". . . “It’s glamour but it’s less perfect and polished than what you might find in Manhattan,” said Mary Alice Stephenson, a stylist and fashion commentator who has lived in Brooklyn for some 20 years, describing one of the most identifiable styles that has developed among the brownstone bourgeoisie there. “It’s gold lamé, but it’s cut into a classic shirtdress,” she added by example. “You’re still wearing gold lamé while you’re taking your kid around on his scooter, but you can roll up the sleeves and the hem isn’t too short. It’s not precious. She really nailed that.”. . ."

Veronica Webb - Styles to Make Any Woman Feel Beautiful

Veronica Webb’s Styles to ‘Make Any Woman Feel Beautiful’ - NYTimes.com: " . . . For the last two years, Ms. Webb has been among a coterie of tastemakers who act as product advisers on OpenSky, recommending items in their personal “shops.” Ms. Webb says things like, “Nothing should make it into your closet unless it’s a star.” Still, she recognized a need for what she describes as “extravagant essential basics,” and so, working with her professional and personal partner, Chris Del Gatto, Ms. Webb started the collection with Majestic Mills, a Canadian manufacturer that also owns the Royalton label. The designs are named after the children in their blended family. . . . The first designs are called Royalton by Veronica Webb for OpenSky. . . “One of the things Azzedine always says is that no designer should ask another designer for an idea or how to solve a problem,” she said. “That’s just not done.”"
