Dolce and Gabbana Sentenced

LONDON, United Kingdom — The fashion world took notice this week as Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were sentenced to 20 months in prison and received an initial fine of €500,000 (about $660,000 at current exchange rates), following a verdict issued by a Milan court that found the famed Italian design duo guilty of tax evasion in the sale of the Dolce & Gabbana stable of brands to Luxembourg-based Gado Srl in 2004. The designers were acquitted on a second charge.
In response to the decision, the designers’ lawyers issued a detailed (though at times hard to decipher) statement expressing a mix of satisfaction and astonishment, vowing to appeal the decision in the Corte di Cassazione, Italy’s highest court. Indeed, it seems this legal saga is far from over.
Meanwhile, in Istanbul, the streets have been filled with people from all strata of society protesting the authoritarian tendencies of the Erdogan government, which has deployed police armed with water cannons and tear gas to counter the demonstrations and threatened to use “all its powers,” including the armed forces if necessary, to “establish peace.” We managed to speak with Ece Sükan, a well-known street-style star, former editor-at-large for Turkish Vogue, and friend of BoF, who is participating in the ‘OccupyGezi’ resistance movement and examined the ground-level realities and future prospects of the luxury market in this fast-growing nation which bridges East and West and has, in recent years, shown signifiant economic momentum.
We also got to know two very talented creatives from the broader BoF community this week. Lynn Yaeger, an inimitable writer and journalist, shared her amazing story with us in an honest and forthright account of her impressive career and the joy she still derives from being part of the fashion industry. And across the pond, we sat down with Robbie Spencer, the rising styling star and newly appointed fashion director of Dazed & Confused.
Over in New York, while many have covered the crop of fast-rising East Asian American designers making their mark on the American fashion scene, much-less discussed, but equally interesting are a group of American designers of South Asian origins — Naeem Khan, Bibhu Mohapatra, Prabal Gurung and Sachin + Babi — who have leveraged their ties at home to deliver contemporary fashions which fuse their Western design sensibilities with Indian craftsmanship and handwork.
And, down under in Australia, we shone the BoF Spotlight on From Britten P/L, whose sharp menswear silhouettes caught my eye on my most recent trip to Sydney.
Speaking of eye-catching, earlier this week I sat down with Charlotte Tilbury, Chris Levine and Malcolm Edwards to talk about a striking lenticular portrait of Kate Moss, the result of a great coming together of talent from the worlds of fashion, beauty and art. You can watch the video here.
In other news, Dior announced it’s plans to sponsor the fall gala at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, 032c appointed Mel Ottenberg as fashion director, Paris-based RAD announced a Series A round of €2.5m, Bloomberg reported that Moncler was assembling a team of investment bankers to pursue a long-mooted IPO, French couturier Jean-Louis Scherrer died at the age of 78 and Valextra revealed its plans for an initial public listing as the culmination of a new five to 10 year strategy.
And that’s another around-the-world look at this week’s news in the business of fashion. More from us, including reports from the men’s shows in Milan, next week.
Happy weekend everyone.

Six Need-to-Know Tips Before Booking Your First Cruise

By Anonymous...

The good news: You’ve decided on a cruise line, a destination and maybe even the ship and a sailing date for your first cruise. The bad news: It’s hard not to wander into the booking process and encounter unexpected questions and alien terminology.

Here’s how to make the process go more smoothly.

#1

A travel agent can be a great ally
Although you can book a cruise direct with any cruise line, travel agents are paid a commission by cruise lines and have access to pretty much all the same deals that you do. In other words, if you have your heart set on a specific ship or itinerary, let a travel agent do the legwork to locate the best price. And when you don’t know the exact cruise you want, a good travel agent will work to match you with the right cruise line and vessel and source the best price. Our experiences with travel agents have not always been perfect—find one that specializes in cruises and has performed lots of ship inspections, get all promises in writing and, when you find a good agent, reward them with your future business.

#2

Never pay full price and watch for onboard credits
With rare exception, virtually every cabin on every ship sells for less—often considerably less—than the “brochure” rate. The brochure price is the published fare for a cruise, a price that’s usually set more than a year in advance. But as soon as cruise fares are announced, the special offers start to materialize, starting with early booking discounts. These can be a good deal, but for most cruises additional sales will lower the rate even further. If a cruise isn’t selling well, the price will drop dramatically in the last few weeks before departure. Conversely, when the cruise is nearly sold out, deals will evaporate. Note that discounts are often less pronounced for unique itineraries that aren’t repeated throughout the year. But those who can travel on less than a month’s notice and are flexible with travel dates can often find discounts off brochure rates of 70 to 80 percent, even on luxury cruise lines.

Onboard credits are a neat incentive, in effect a rebate on your cruise fare that comes in the form of a credit to your cabin account. The credits can be as little as $25 or $50, or they can amount to hundreds of dollars, especially for cruises longer than a week or for more expensive cabins. Unless you’re booked on an all-inclusive luxury cruise, don’t worry—you’ll spend it. Tips run $11-$12 per day, per person, and most cruise lines even charge for sodas. Always get onboard credits in writing and check your onboard account soon after embarkation—we find credits are often not properly communicated to the cruise line in advance of sailing.

#3

Know what’s included
This is where things get tricky. While cruises used to be a fairly inclusive product, in recent years cruise lines figured out that one way to increase overall revenue was to lower the upfront price of a cabin, but charge for many of the extras we used to take for granted. When comparing the major cruise lines, the list of inclusions varies. Most charge for sodas, but Disney Cruise Line doesn’t. Celebrity charges for pay-per-view movies on your TV, but Holland America has an extensive DVD library on each ship, delivered gratis to your room. All of them include meals at the main dining room and grazing at the buffet, but they charge for specialty dining—experiences that can range from $5 to $95. And don’t forget to check airfares before locking in a booking. A great deal on a swanky Mediterranean cruise during peak season isn’t necessarily hard to find, but Europe’s summer airfares may give you heart palpitations.

#4

Understand the cabin types
There are four basic types of cabins on almost every ship. Cheapest will be theinterior or inside cabins—that is, a windowless room with no view. While we haven’t met anyone who actually prefers an interior cabin, the savings can be significant. Often identical in size and features to an interior, ocean view or outside cabins will be found along the exterior of the ship, most frequently on lower decks. The views can vary considerably—from round portholes barely one-foot-wide to floor-to-ceiling windows allowing ample natural light. Note also that ocean views can be obstructed by lifeboats or railings; these should always be identified as such on cruise booking websites.

Next up are balcony or verandah cabins and, again, the size of this feature can vary—from Juliet-style, big enough only for one or two people to stand on, or spacious enough to set up dinner at a table with two chairs. Cabins with balconies usually command a premium—sometimes double the price of an ocean view cabin. Before plunking down on a big fare, think carefully about how many hours you expect to be out on the balcony, gazing at that sea view. The fourth category is, of course, suites,and in size and amenities these vary greatly from one cruise line to the next. Considering the expense, suites are one more reason to work with a well-versed travel agent who can walk you through cabin layouts and amenities.

Note that within each type of cabin are sub-categories. So, the cheapest ocean view will probably be an obstructed view or one with a small porthole view, while a few dollars more will buy a better view. A few dollars more will put you in an ocean view cabin towards the middle of the ship, the location preferred by most cruisers.

#5

Consider a guarantee
During the booking process you will choose your cabin from within the category you have booked. While there are reasons for choosing one room over another, there is often another option to consider, a guarantee—one of our favorite ways to save. In this instance, most commonly availed to those booking in the final months before sailing, by choosing a guarantee cabin, cruisers put the cabin choice in the hands of the cruise line. In exchange, the cruise line offers a lower rate than the lowest for that cabin type. So, the cheapest ocean view cabin for a given cruise might be priced $1099 per person, for an assigned cabin, but those choosing a guarantee ocean view will pay $999. The downside is that you could wind up with the worst cabin in that category—a slightly smaller room or obstructed view, or an unfavorable location, but it’s possibly the same one you might have paid $1099 for anyway. The upside—in addition to the savings—is you might be upgraded to a better cabin.

When do you find out your assigned cabin? We’ve usually gotten our cabin number a few weeks before sailing, though once we didn’t find out till we arrived for embarkation. And the results have panned out both ways: We’ve chosen a guarantee and wound up in a less desirable cabin, and on other occasions we’ve been upgraded to a better cabin than our budget could afford (from an ocean view to a balcony on one luxury cruise). But we’ve never been downgraded to a lower cabin type (i.e., from an ocean view to an interior), so when the savings are good, we usually take the risk.

#6

Know Your Dining Options
In addition to table size, there are usually two basic dinner choices that you will be presented during the booking process on most of the mainstream lines: One of two set dining times in the main dining room—usually around 6 and 8 p.m.—or an open seating option, whereby you can have dinner in the main dining room any time from about 5:30 to 9 p.m. Once you lock in your choice for a set dining time or the open plan, it is not always possible to switch it after embarkation, so give this step of the booking process careful consideration.

While the open seating option (which goes by different names for each line) would seem to be the easiest pick, allowing the greatest flexibility, there are downsides. At prime time (around 7 p.m. for most cruises) there may be a wait for a table, especially for parties larger than four. You will be seated in a different location nightly and, unless you request a private table—not always available—you’ll be dining with different guests nightly. If you opt for the traditional set meal times you’ll be assigned the same table and waiters each evening and break bread with the same fellow cruisers nightly.

Whichever option you choose, this impacts only your dinners in the main dining room. For breakfasts and lunches here you will be seated at the first available table—usually without a wait. And you’ll be able to dine anytime at the ship’s buffet (at no charge) or specialty dining venues (with a surcharge and, usually, a reservation).

Best Street Style 2012 – Miranda Kerr

Miranda Kerr makes the world her runway. The sidewalks of New York City and her hometown of Sydney are no match for this Australian supermodel (and supermom), who has incredible street style.
She boasts the uncanny ability to look effortlessly chic and oh-so-sophisticated—even when she’s balancing her son, Flynn, on her hip.
When she’s not strutting down the Victoria’s Secret catwalk or posing for her next big fashion campaign (she’s the new face of Mango for Spring 2013), Miranda is still camera-ready with her trendsetting staples.
She does uptown glam—think pencil skirts, structured frocks and diaphanous blouses—as easily as downtown cool, showing off her long, lean pins in Current/Elliott skinny jeans, leather leggings and chic shorts.
And she’s not afraid to rock a good animal print or exploded floral pattern, or a pair of oversized, python-embossed Linda Farrow shades.
Alexander Wang, Equipment, Isabel Marant, Maison Martin Margiela and Victoria Beckham all occupy places of supreme importance in Miranda’s personal closet; so do Manolo Blahniks, Prada loafers and Marant’s ankle booties.
Plus, when this stunning star isn’t carrying her favorite Givenchy “Antigona” tote (or her adorable Yorkshire terrier, Frankie) while she’s out and about, she has another handsome accessory to tout—hubby Orlando Bloom.

The Best from Fashion Week

W-H-A-T??????????

Front Row Fashion Bloggers | Photo: Yvan Rodic, Facehunter

Today, in a guest Op-Ed piece, Jennine Jacob, founder of Independent Fashion Bloggers, exposes a transparency problem that threatens the future of the business of blogging.
NEW YORK, United States — Old media often seems to portray fashion bloggers as publishers gone rogue: online personalities thirsting for free product or paid public appearances. Ruth La Ferla’s recent piece in The New York Times, “New York Fashion Week Street Style Is Often a Billboard for Brands,” suggests that it’s common practice for bloggers to accept payments from designer brands in return for wearing their product at fashion week with the goal of being shot by street style photographers.
Numerous media outlets picked up the story. But when pressed, several people who were interviewed for the original article denied having first hand knowledge of an actual, specific instance in which a brand had paid a blogger to wear its products for the purpose of being photographed for street style sites.
Nonetheless, many people believed that the activities depicted in the story could very well be true. Evidence or not, they sounded plausible enough. More that anything, I think this points to the fact that fashion bloggers have a serious transparency problem. They are far too hush-hush about the business side of blogging, which can lead people to assume the worst.
Bloggers need to generate income. Brands need to reach consumers. Partnerships are natural. And when a partnership between brand and blogger is successful, it can work wonders for both parties. The Man Repeller’s collaboration with Gryphon and From Me to You’s work with Tiffany, Veuve Clicquot and Oscar de La Renta come to mind.
Indeed, for me, the critical issue surfaced by La Ferla’s piece isn’t that bloggers are partnering with brands, but the obvious lack of transparency around some of these partnerships.
Unsurprisingly, many bloggers are shy about discussing the brands they are working with for fear of losing credibility with their audience. But if a blogger doesn’t feel good about disclosing a particular brand partnership or they fear a revolt from their readers, they probably shouldn’t be doing it.
Unfortunately, traditional fashion media doesn’t set a particularly good example when it comes to transparency. While newspapers like The New York Times enforce strict ‘church and state’ separation between their editorial and advertising departments, many fashion magazines preach these principles, while, in reality, adopting ‘pay for play’ policies that ensure top advertisers get favourable editorial coverage.
Bloggers often act alone, or in small teams, meaning that content decisions and business decisions are often made by the same people and true ‘church and state’ separation can be impractical to implement. Nonetheless, bloggers should strive to be more transparent and clearly distinguish between editorial and advertising.
Shouldn’t readers know if a bag a blogger fawns over in a post was gifted by a brand? Shouldn’t they know if a blogger was paid to write a post about a certain pair of shoes?
Thus far, perhaps not enough bloggers have lost their credibility to enforce a universal code of ethics around this issue. But I believe strongly that the community could benefit from a more transparent approach. Do readers need to know the financial details of a blogger’s brand partnerships? No. But the difference between editorial and advertising should always be clear.
Come to think of it, bloggers have a responsibility to be more transparent with their brand partners, as well. Honest campaign reporting, using inexpensive tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Insights, Hootsuite, TweetReach, Statigram and Bit.ly can help brands better understand and quantify the impact bloggers can bring to the table.
Ultimately, greater transparency with both readers and brand partners is in the long-term interests of fashion bloggers, because businesses built on smoke and mirrors can only work for so long.

Question: Would you like a Style-Guru for Men?

If you were searching for great looking “skinny jeans” for men, where would you start? I mean, really…how would you go about the mission of starting an undyingly long, and passively-aggressive hunt to scout out your best pair of men’s jeans? They would have to be in your size, and definitely fit the masculine physic, and totally take the guess-work out of being the perfect pair for you, right?

Would you consult an online “style-wizard” after recording all of the necessary data that creates a personal style-profile of casual, black tie, or anytime clothing, just for your favorite and essential things? Maybe, the answer is always, “yes,” but never who, what, where, when, or how do I find this style tool with digital techniques to find exactly what the style trend, obsession, or object of fashion desire (is for any season)!

Just when you’ve lost all hope of finding the best stores to shop from, and you are still waiting around for the perfect outfit to wear, don't give up yet because there is a Style Pilot navigating the online fashion wears to have for any man's closet!

Just think, is it fair enough to combine most of the world's most fabulous outfitters in one main place and establish "chic-at-a-glance?" For your essential wardrobe and style potential to become exactly the type of clothing you've always dreamed of, your style buttons have to be pushed to react to what it is you've wanted all along! If you'd like to give up unnecessary jaunts to the mall and heavy shopping excursions that make you jump in and out of your car, for tiny pieces of clothing that won't fit your budget or maintain your well-established push in the right direction, then give the internet one more try!

Locating your best looks are going to be only minutes away, because internet shopping has never been so easy! This new type of shopping site for men helps chart and find every stitch of clothing that goes with every fashion-wish a man could ever dream up! Getting every style recommendation displayed directly on your personal computer is a "no-brainer" after you have the knack! All it takes is a few short minutes of locating exactly what it is you wanted in a year-round wardrobe that makes looking good an inevitable journey of instant gratification!

The main reason for the above introspective look into the existing reasons for the lack of shopping inspiration for men, and how to re-trigger its fruition, can be a quest in itself. So, many designers and technicians have been enabling other types of shopping into the world of men's deepest fashion wishes to make outfitting an even greater success in keeping up with the dress code for ages to come.

If you are having trouble being the “online” recipient of awesome wardrobe updates and are always having style dilemmas, then make the click over to a guru of your own!

Double Your Runway Success with A Gallery of Supermodels

By the time the clock struck 7:00 on Sunday evening, the fashion crowd was ready to get going. The sun was setting and the weather on the Avery Fisher Hall balcony at Lincoln Center was perfectly breezy -- bring on the Zac Posen Spring/Summer 2013 collection!
Except that 15, then 30 then 45 minutes went by and Posen's show still hadn't started. "Divas," a fellow show-goer said to me. "Must be those divas backstage holding things up."
He was probably right, because after about 45 minutes of waiting, the lights came on and out walked Zac Posen's first model of the night: Naomi Campbell. Following her were Karolina Kurkova, Alek Wek, Angela Lindvall and the jaw-droppingly gorgeous Coco Rocha, who presented the finale dress, a creamy, multi-tiered bridal look, to an awe-struck crowd.
There were other impressive elements to Posen's show, including an impressive array of current modeling stars (Lindsey Wixson, Hilary Rhoda, Isabeli Fontana and Posen fave Crystal Renn) and a star-studded front row (Kelly Osbourne! Lourdes Leon!) But it was the Supers in all their glory that stunned everyone, particularly because one had said she wasn't walking Fashion Week at all.
Coco Rocha, one of Posen's most loyal fashion friends, tweeted last Friday, "This September would have been my 17th season of runway, but I’m sitting it out to film The Face. :)" But Rocha's upcoming role as a mentor on "The Face," a modeling competition series airing on Oxygen next year, didn't keep her nor her "The Face" co-mentors, Campbell and Kurkova, from Posen's runway.
Which leads us to believe that perhaps Posen will play some sort of role in the upcoming TV series, too. Fingers crossed!

The guy from "Barney's New York" shares his NIGHTMARE!

SIMON DOONAN'S FASHION WEEK NIGHTMARE EXPLAINED...

Anyone who works in the industry has had ‘em: A fashion week related nightmare. We asked designers, editors and stylists to share theirs with us, and then we asked our friend (and super talented artist) Mara Sprafkin illustrate them. Don’t be scared…

To kick off the series, Erin Fetherston told us about her nightmare involving a stolen collection and a Smurf-colored jacket. Next up, the incomparable Simon Doonan, Barneys’ Creative Ambassador-at-Large, has nightmares about watching his dog dry-hump a model on the runway–while he looks on from standing!

I arrive at the Tents and nobody says hello and nobody tries to take my picture. What AM I? Chopped liver? I am carrying my dog Liberace. I brought him along to make a great photo op. Nobody seems to agree with me. We move through the crowd and nobody ambushes me about their new web site and nobody stuffs a resume in my hand and begs for a job. Nobody even makes eye contact. Gradually I realize how much I always enjoyed being “bothered” by young hopefuls whenever I arrived at the shows. I look for my seat.
EEK! I am in “standing”…which means I am staring at the back of somebody’s legs. (I’m short.) Suddenly I realize that Liberace has escaped. The show begins. I peak through my neighbors legs Liberace bum rushes the first model and begins humping her leg…I wake up screaming.

View 25 LAZY ways to stay SKINNY!

Lean and lazy We can't go on the Internet anymore without learning of a new diet tip that is designed to make us lose five pounds in five minutes and three dress sizes by the weekend. And yet some women always appear healthy and thin while never seeming to feed into these crazy diet fads, or even dieting at all! To find out how they – The Skinny Women – do it, we asked two nutritionists to weigh in on some of the best and easy lifestyle choices that you will make to feel healthy and look great.

1. Don't deprive yourself "Enjoy the foods you love in moderation," encourages Amy Shapiro MS, RD, CND, of Real Nutrition NYC. "No single food makes you gain weight, the portions are what matters." 2. Eat until you feel satisfied, not full You've heard this before. Etiquette author Emily Post believed that a polite lady should put down her fork between every bite, a technique that also helps you realize when to stop eating before you feel bloated. 3. Make sure half of your plate contains veggies "Vegetables are filled with fiber and water so they fill you up without filling you out," says Shapiro. 4. When ordering out, always order a small "Whether it be coffee, salads, soups, frozen yogurt," says Stephanie Middleberg, MS, RD, CDN of Middleberg Nutrition. "If you want to be small, order that way." 5. Know yourself "If you can't limit pick-able foods (chips, nuts, grapes, candy, etc.), then make sure you stick to single serving portions, such as handheld fruit, individually-wrapped hummus, nut or nut butter packets," Middleberg explains. 6. Enjoy a salad or soup to start the meal when you dine out "Both fill you up with low calories and leave less room for the main course," tells Shapiro. 7. Skip the breadbasket Shapiro warns, "It's just empty calories. My clients follow the pick your "poison" rule: Bread, Drinks or Dessert. You can enjoy one but not all"

Did you know France has a "Glove Capital?"

It all goes back to Roquefort. The little Aveyron town of Millau, recently rendered world famous by its soaring new viaduct, became France's glove capital thanks to the thin, supple and beautiful lambskin from the same breed of sheep whose milk is used to make the famous cheese. Glove making in Millau dates back to the Middle Ages, and by the early 20th century the city was the major supplier of hand-cut and hand-sewn gloves to haute couture houses worldwide, peaking in 1963 when 82 gantiers plied their trade there. But changing fashions and the arrival of synthetics whittled that number down to one—Causse. The company was sold in 2003, but fourth-generation glovemaker Olivier Causse is still involved, now working with prize-winning designers Nadine Carel and Manuel Rubio in a luminous new showplace in Millau designed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Applying traditional skills to exotic skins including ostrich, python and zebra, Gants Causse caters to such luxury clients as Chanel, Hermès and Saint Laurent, but also produces high-quality gloves under its own, more affordable label. The first Causse boutique, also Wilmotte-designed, recently opened near the Place Vendôme in Paris.
