Dutch Fashion Awards 2012 nominees announced
The British Fashion Council announces that Stella McCartney has been named Designer of the Year, receiving the highest accolade at the British Fashion Awards 2012. Stella also received the Designer Brand award on behalf of her eponymous label, picking up two awards on the evening, both of which recognise a momentous year for the designer through her achievements in the fashion industry and her contribution to Team GB in 2012.
Pierre Hardy, the creative director of Hermès fine jewelry, is now applying his Midas touch to the luxury brand’s most beloved handbags. Or to miniature versions of them, that is. Here, Hardy’s take on the classic Nausicaa, a hobo that dates back to the 1960s, measures about 6 inches high (with the handle) and is made of rose gold that’s studded and dripping with 1,811 diamonds. “It’s one of the house’s three most iconic carryalls,” Hardy says, “very feminine and curvy.” The other two arm-candy icons — Kelly and Birkin, of course — Hardy has also reinterpreted in equally bite-size portions of rose gold and white diamonds. (They’re just big enough to fit credit cards and lipstick cases.) “These bags say the same thing but with different words,” he explains. “My words are metal and stones.” Heard loud and clear.

The only thing that’s more intimidating than a meeting with Anna Wintour is a job interview with her. Even among staff members whom she likes working with, the editor-in-chief of Vogue is notorious for giving employees’ outfits a knowing once-over. So what happens when you not only need to dress up (it’s an interview, after all), but also must choose a look that convinces her you’re Voguematerial? That’s what we asked dozens of people who’ve been through the ringer in the past few decades.

Almost a decade before Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra, Joan Collins starred as Nelifer in an epically camp Hollywood film calledLand of the Pharaohs. She played a money-hungry and shallow woman who weasels her way into the pharaoh's life in an effort to obtain riches — a role that would set her up for many to follow, most famously as Dynasty's Alexis Carrington. Zoom in here on never-before-published contact sheets taken in an off-moment between filming. The low-cut V-necks and halter dresses are fifties-pinup chic. And that classic Collins stare is in full effect.

Denmark sets new catwalk record
A short while ago, the last model stepped off the podium of the World's Greatest Catwalk in Hong Kong,
sealing the world record that the Guinness Book of World Records had arrived to register.
With a 3.2 kilometer-long runway and 343 models, the World's Greatest Catwalk is now officially the
greatest catwalk ever recorded with its amount of models. And that's something to be proud of, because the
record-breaking event has spurred a collaboration between Danish Fashion Institute and Hong Kong
Fashion Designers Association. The fashion displayed on the runway was, for this reason, from both
Denmark and Hong Kong.

How do you mark the 50th anniversary of a legendary couturier like Valentino Garavani? With a retrospective of his life’s work, of course. And where else would it be but in a world capital like London, where it will receive more lavish exposure than if it were in Rome and Milan in tandem. From tomorrow through March 3, 2013, the Embankment Galleries at London’s Somerset House will spotlight Valentino’s extraordinarily glamorous career through pictures, film and a selection of the designer’s couture, two thirds of which has never been on public display.
Over the course of his career as a fashion editor and stylist Matthew Edelstein has had plenty of opportunity to form opinions about American fashion — and now, with his new clothing line, he’s decided to do something about them. “In the past few years it’s become all about heritage,” he says. “I want to pull away the heritage, strip away the nostalgia and do modern sportswear. I love the idea of taking back that easy, modern spirit that designers like Claire McCardell and Geoffrey Beene and Perry Ellis had.” Friends & Associates, named for what Edelstein considers the collaborative spirit of creative ventures, does just that, focusing on bright, polished pieces that make getting dressed in the morning a breeze. The resort collection, which is available beginning today on the Friends & Associates Web site, features lots of crisp cottons and an oversize polka dot prints.
London kick starts the menswear calendar with a biannual showcase of British brands and businesses embedded in a cultural programme. London Collections: Men emphasises both the creative and commercial importance of Britain’s brands and emerging talent as well as the rich cultural landscape that contributes to the inspiration and success of this sector. All events on the schedule are designed to showcase the breadth of British fashion talent, from the world’s most innovative emerging talents to global menswear brands and Savile Row tailors. http://www.londoncollections.co.uk/men_

Esther Heesch is a 16-year-old of many talents — she surfs, she plays piano, she practices ballet, she can sit through episodes of Germany's Next Top Model with Heidi Klum in their entirety, and she's already racking up the jobs since she first stepped foot on a runway at Dior's fall 2012 couture show last year. For the spring 2013 season, Heesch booked a total of twenty slots at Milan and Paris fashion weeks (she skipped New York and London), walking for Prada, Céline, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Chloé, Chanel, and Dries Van Noten, and opening for Valentino. She went on to nab the Céline pre-fall 2013 look book, Chanel pre-fall 2013 show in Edinburgh, and Valentino spring 2013 campaign, not to mention editorials forInterview and Vogue Japan (the latter, on newsstands now!). The Next model stopped by our offices before heading back to high school in Lübeck to talk about her teachers, eating organic, and Karl Lagerfeld's Hula-Hoop bag, which she saw in real life.
From J.W. Anderson’s tube tops and frilled shorts (above right) to Meadham Kirchhoff’s tunics and skirts to Sibling’s fluffy cotton-candy-pink shorts, London’s up-and-coming designers put some extreme feminine twists on their Fall ’13 menswear collections. But while men (who aren’t Marc Jacobs or Andrej Pejic, that is) may be a little hesitant to jump on the gender-bending bandwagon, it would seem that women are, once again, craving an androgynous edge. The proof? Due to popular demand, menswear designers are creating looks tailored just for the ladies.

The items refer to a Jimi Hendrix legendary flamboyant style with plenty of astrological influences.
The overall picture is dressed and hedonistic, with contemporary rock chic and a dash of eccentricity alien. The silhouettes are dandyish well as military and colors ranging from navy, mauve, deep purple and graphite to army green, antique gold and faded violet with strong grass green accents.
Finally, the collection is divided into two graphical themes: the hexagon (the hexagon that represents the planet Saturn, influencer of creativity) and paisley (the ancient Indian textile design, which refers to Eastern spirituality). These ensure that there is a divide between geometric (the hexagon) and organic (paisley).

Eleven years at any fashion company is
considered an eternity, but for Marissa Webb, those years at J.Crew were a study in the ins and outs of a successful brand. After working up to vice-president of womens wear design, Webb left in 2011 and debuted her eponymous collection at New York Fashion Week spring 2013. Channeling her prior retail experience, the twenty-look collection focused on tailored sportswear separates in sleek neutrals accented with pops of color and pattern. Retailers like Barneys and Steven Alan quickly embraced the easy-to-wear pieces; boutiques as far as Kuwait and Japan carried the line. (Click "view slideshow" to see the collection, which is in stores now.)

At age 4, Webb, along with her three siblings, was adopted from Korea and moved to the United States, growing up in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. A self-described tomboy who played in the dirt, Webb also nurtured a love for clothes and magazines. At Rutgers University, she initially studied psychology, but transferred to the Fashion Institute of Technology to study fashion illustration and design: “It made more sense — it’s a concrete job. And then I decided I did not want to sit in an office all day.” The Cut caught up with Webb as she prepared for her line's fall presentation. She discussed why she hasn't gone shopping in a year, her inspirations, and her fantasy wedding plans.BY DIANA TSUI

G-Star Raw has moved from a “toxic greenwasher” to a “Detox leader,” according to Greenpeace. Following pressure from the environmental nonprofit’s “Detox” campaign, the Dutch fashion retailer committed on Thursday to eliminate all releases of hazardous chemicals throughout its global supply chain products by 2020, the 15th corporation to do so to date. G-Star’s announcement comes just a week after Greenpeace activists picketed the brand at the opening ofAmsterdam Fashion Week for declaring a zero-discharge intention but failing to follow through with credible individual commitments or action plans.
Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)
“Today G-Star has shown its true face and sent a clear signal to its customers and competitors that toxic textiles are a fashion faux-pas,” says Ilze Smit, toxic campaigner at Greenpeace Netherlands, in a statement. “Now is the time for G-Star to turn their ambitious plans into transparent action that will make a real difference for people around the world, particularly those living in the areas affected by the fashion industry’s long-standing toxic addiction.”
Other companies that have made similar pledges Adidas, Benetton, C&A, Esprit, H&M, Levi Strauss, Li-Ning, Mango, Nike, Puma, Marks & Spencer, Uniqlo, Zara, and most recently,Victoria’s Secret.

Alexandre Herchcovitch sends blindfolded models down the runway The Brazilian designer's models didn't miss a step, though their eyes were covered with fashionable accessories. Applause erupted at the closing of the show, a rare feat in the highly competitive world.Brazilian designer Alexandre Herchcovitch, known for his exaggerated proportions and silhouettes, took things a bit further at his Saturday evening fashion show in Milk Studios when he sent several models down the runway wearing sheer blindfolds.The girls -- with one side of their hair in a braid and the other half kept straight -- walked the U-shaped catwalk confidently, never missing a step despite their impaired vision.
The looks weren’t colorblind: The fabric of their blindfolds perfectly matched the pattern of their dresses.Herchcovitch’s looks consisted of violet, ivory and green colors with long skirts that pooled out at the waist, half-constructed bodices, shirting hanging at the waist as ornamentation, plus peplum and bustle detail. Shoes had ornate detail on the heels. The bearded designer first learned to sew from his mother when he was a child.During the show finale, when all of the models came out to walk the runway at once -- including the blindfolded ones -- the audience broke into cheers. That’s rare praise for the reserved fashion pack. Maybe Anna Wintour, who always wears shades while she watches the shows, should take note.

Shoppers have become accustomed to the steady stream of colorful clothing that so-called fast-fashion apparel chains churn out. Rather than launching lines only at the beginning of each season, chains such as Inditex’s (ITX)Zara and Hennes & Mauritz’s (HMB) H&M introduce styles as often as every two weeks. The constant replenishment keeps fashion-conscious customers coming back for the generally low-priced goods.
But worker rights advocates say fast fashion has another, darker cost: Demands for constant product turns may be putting workers’ lives at risk in developing nations such as Bangladesh, which suffered two fatal garment factory fires in as many months.
Apparel sold by Spain’s Inditex, the world’s largest apparel company and a pioneer of faster fashion cycles, was found at a factory that caught fire on Jan. 26, killing at least seven people. More than 100 were killed on Nov. 24 at another Bangladeshi plant producing garments for companies including Sears Holdings (SHLD) and Wal-Mart Stores (WMT).
In Nike’s (NKE) 2010 Corporate Responsibility Report, the company noted, “asking factories to manufacture too many styles is one of the highest contributors to factory overtime in apparel.” And when workers don’t take enough breaks, Locke says, accidents can happen. Rapidly changing orders adds to the pressure.

The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton should re-wear her outfits to help the environment, British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood said on Sunday.
The designer advised Middleton, the wife of Britain's Prince William and the country's future Queen, that she should recycle her outfits if she puts a lot of effort into her appearance.
"I don't have any advice to her, except I think it would be great if she wore the same clothes over and again, because that's very good for the environment and it would send out a very nice message," Westwood said before her Red Label fashion show at London Fashion Week.
They perch along the runways like birds on a wire, each with vivid markings: the celebrity editors Carine Roitfeld, working her swag of dusky hair, kohled eyes and killer stilettos, and Grace Coddington, her flame-colored mane framing her face like a cloud; and the photographer Terry Richardson, his downward-drooping mustache lending him the look of a ’70s porn king.
And you won’t need a field guide to pick out professional show-offs like André Leon Talley, descending on the catwalks with a great sweep of his stole; or the fashion scribe Lynn Yeager tricked out like a Kewpie, all cupid’s-bow lips, voluminous skirts and coin-dot spots of rouge on her cheeks; or, in their midst, Anna Wintour, Vogue’s vixenish chieftain, ducking, as the house lights fade, behind precision-sheared bangs and dark glasses.

MILAN (Reuters) - Italian designers put craftsmanship before reckless glamour at the Milan fashion week, in a bid to defend their tailoring tradition in the face of global competition.
Fashion houses PPR's Bottega Veneta, Roberto Cavalli andErmanno Scervino on Saturday proposed sculpted flannel coats and steel-embroidered dresses for their 2013-14 autumn-winter collections.
"I am based in Florence because this is where I find a know-how that I don't find anywhere else," Scervino told Reuters in the backstage of his packed show.
Both Scervino and Cavalli dedicated their events to Florence, a city famous for its artisanal leather goods, also the signature lines ofItalian fashion giants Salvatore Ferragamo and Gucci.
For Karl Lagerfeld, too, this is a debut: for the first time, the German designer will sign a collection of shoes that are wholly made of PVC. The Brazilian brand Melissa has indeed given Kaiser Karl free reign while creating two new models and personalizing another two, that were already part of the collection.

MILAN (Reuters) - Italy's Tax Commission has fined fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana 343.4 million euros ($441 million) for tax evasion.
The decision confirmed to Reuters by Italy's tax agency on Tuesday relates to payments the agency says should have been made when the designers sold their D&G and Dolce & Gabbana brands to their own Luxembourg-based holding company GADO in 2004.
The authorities ruled that the designers engineered the transaction to avoid paying taxes in Italy, where corporate tax rates are among the world's highest.
Dolce and Gabbana, known for their Sicily-inspired style, were not available for comment on Tuesday, though they have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
"GADO operated as an 'ad hoc' safe, an operation to carry out illicit international fiscal planning aimed at saving taxes," the Tax Commission said in its February ruling, which was filed on March 20 and first surfaced in the Italian media on Saturday.

NEW YORK, United States -- For the last five years Jenna Sauers, a writer for the popular feminist blog Jezebel, has been analysing and reporting on the racial diversity of models at New York Fashion Week. The numbers have gone slightly up and down in each report. But from Fall 2008, when Sauers first began the study and discovered that a mere thirteen percent of looks were worn by non-white girls, until now, where the figure stands at seventeen percent, every season has brought the same conclusion: the vast majority of the women walking the runways are Caucasian.
