Writedowns Drag Liz To $829 Million Loss, More Expected in ’09 By Whitney Beckett After posting a fourth-quarter loss of $828.9 million, mainly due to a goodwill writedown, Liz Claiborne Inc. is expecting further “meaningful” losses in the first half of 2009 and is eyeing additional cost cuts. Declining to provide 2009 earnings guidance due to “the highly uncertain environment,” Claiborne chief executive officer William L. McComb warned on an earnings call Wednesday that he anticipates no immediate improvement for retail sales in 2009 from the dismal final quarter of 2008. Claiborne’s shares fell 11.4 percent to close at $2.50 Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange.

  • Touching Textures Through the Screen: a Cinematic Investigation of the Contemporary Fashion Film
    Touching Textures Through the Screen: A Cinematic Investigation of the Contemporary Fashion Film Name: Simone Houg Supervisor: Dr. M.A.M.B Baronian Student Number: Second Reader: Dr. F.J.J.W. Paalman Address: University of Amsterdam Master Thesis Film Studies Phone Number: 26 June 2015 Email: [email protected] Word Count: 23709 2 Abstract The contemporary fashion film emerged at the beginning of this century and has enabled fashion and film to enter into an equivalent relationship. This symbiotic relationship goes back to the emergence of both disciplines at the beginning of the twentieth century. The fashion film is a relatively new phenomenon that is presented on the Internet as a short film, made by fashion designers and fashion houses that optionally collaborate with well-known filmmakers. The fashion film expresses itself in many forms and through many different styles and characteristics, which makes it hard to grasp. In the case studies on the fashion films commissioned by Dior, Prada, Hussein Chalayan and Maison Margiela, concepts such as colour, movement and haptic visuality are investigated, in order to demonstrate that by focusing on the fashion films' similar use of these cinematic techniques, a definition of the fashion film can be constituted. The fashion film moves in our contemporary society; a society that is focused on ideas of progress, increased mobility and other concepts that characterise a culture of modernity. These concepts evoke feelings of nostalgia and the fashion film responds to this by immersing the spectator into a magical, fictionalised world full of desired garments, objects and settings. The ‘aura’ that surrounds the fashion brand is expressed by letting the viewer fully participate in this fashioned world.

  • The Handbag As Social Idiom and Carrier of Meaning: Inner Self Projected As Outer Person
    The Handbag as Social Idiom and Carrier of Meaning: Inner Self Projected as Outer Person Nanette Marguerite Nel Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Visual Arts at Stellenbosch University Supervisors: Elizabeth Gunter Carine Terreblanche November 2008 Chapter 4 The Body-Bag Collection and the Secrets Collection 4.1 Introduction Chapter 4 deals with development in my work. My attending a programme in Europe as exchange student influenced both the form and content of my work. I describe such changes here. I also discuss the role of the artist in the creation of meaning as opposed to the role of the viewer. This discussion contextualises my work’s meaning within a wider sociology of art and functions as platform for investigating unintentional and intentional meaning in my work. The Body-Bag Collection and the Secrets Collection serve as reference and subject under discussion. The discussion includes the origins of the Body-Bag Collection and those processes involved in its materialisation. This Collection continues on the private versus public theme of the previously-discussed Collections. Here I relate this theme to body- object or body-handbag relationships as re-created in jewellery. The last Collection that I discuss is the Secrets Collection.
