The restaurant opened its doors Thursday night just in time for the event. “It was amazing,” said Kendall Jenner, referring to the restaurant’s food. Actually, the model had an intimate pre-dinner at Zuma with her mother, while the other guests were still checking out the two floors of the revamped Fendi flagship. “This is just great and it really reflects the image of the Fendi brand,” said Lagerfeld, praising the project developed by the Roman fashion house. “I’m leaving tomorrow, but I wanted to stay at least one night in one of the suites.” Along with housing the store and the restaurant, Palazzo Fendi contains seven exclusive hotel suites. Keeping her usual low profile, film director Sofia Coppola also attended the event. “I’m doing a project with the Opera House here in Rome,” she said. Coppola will direct a production of “La Traviata” from May. Valentino Garavani, as well as Valentino creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, will design the costumes. Several generations of the Fendi family flocked to the new palazzo, including Silvia Venturini Fendi’s daughters Leonetta Luciano Fendi and Delfina Delettrez Fendi. “We are unveiling a special jewelry project in a couple of weeks, which will be very innovative, but also rooted in the tradition,” said Delettrez Fendi, who will also launch a couture jewelry collection in Paris in July. In addition to an array of Rome-based actors — including Ornella Muti, Claudio Santamaria, Alessandra Mastronardi and Katie Saunders, who is said to have a new comedy out at the end of the month — the Italian fashion industry was represented by Carlo Capasa, chief executive officer of Camera Nazionale della Moda, and designer Marco de Vincenzo. The former gave a lecture at Rome’s Università della Sapienza earlier in the day, while the latter arrived straight from the Fendi offices, where he designs accessories. “I’m already working on the new collection and this weekend will be dedicated to searching new fabrics,” said de Vincenzo. “This is a job for healthy, spirited people because the rhythms are intense,” said Venturini Fendi. “But honestly I cannot complain; it’s exciting.” 2016-03-11 01:45 Alessandra Turra Michelle Obama Wears Jason Wu, 7 Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau Sports Lucian Matis for State Dinner More Articles By Canadian-born designers won big in the Beltway Thursday with First Lady Michelle Obama wearing Jason Wu and her Canadian counterpart Sophie-Gregoire Trudeau wearing a Lucian Matis purple gown with beading for the White House state dinner in honor of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Having worn Jason Wu gowns for several events with dignitaries including the festivities for her husband’s own inaugural, Obama chose a midnight blue floral jacquard gown with asymmetric draping from the New York-based designer. Earlier in the day she wore a Tanya Taylor custom dress, and Trudeau wore another 3-D-style printed dress from Matis. Trudeau’s stylist Jessica Mulroney said she wanted to wear only Canadian designers in the U. S. and considers championing Canadian design to be a mission. As for Trudeau’s reaction to all the media hype about her clothes, Mulroney said, “At first, she was definitely surprised that there was that much attention about it. But now she’s spinning it to help Canadian design and retail.” Amidst the political heavy-hitters at Thursday’s dinner, there was a smattering of guests who are in the business of entertaining – Blake Lively and her “Deadpool” husband Ryan Reynolds, Mike Myers of “Austin Powers,” “Saturday Night Live” executive producer Lorne Michaels and “Grey’s Anatomy” actress Sandra Oh. (Save for Lively, the rest are Canadian-born.) In a phone interview Thursday, Matis discussed helping Trudeau with her Washington wardrobe. Trudeau made it clear that she only wanted to wear items in Washington from his spring collection that are also available online. “It was a very easy process. Usually, for an event like this you would expect someone like Sophie to request a custom piece. But she was really wonderful and said she wanted something from the collection. She selected six, we had a fitting in Toronto to make sure everything fit perfectly and then she took a whole bunch of them to the states,” Matis said Thursday.

  • The Huffington Post : How to Market Your Book
    Rana Florida CEO, The Creative Class Group & Author, Upgrade How to Market Your Book Posted: 09/23/2013 8:36 am Most people believe that writing is the hardest part; once their book is published, they think, it will fly off the shelves. The reality is that they will be lucky if their book even gets any shelf life. The most important lesson that an author can learn is that the work doesn't stop after you've turned in the manuscript. That's when the hardest work begins. If you want your book to be bought and read by the widest possible audience, you have to start marketing it long before its publication date. Here are some simple tips on marketing that every author should take to heart: 1. Website: There are services that allow you to host and build your own website for free -- or you might want to invest in a web developer, who will choose one for you. But once you've settled on your book's title, go to a domain name service and buy the url (consult with your web developer, if you hire one, about where to go. GoDaddy and Network Solutions are two of the most popular. Buy a few other urls that are similar and redirect them to the preferred domain name. Document your purchase well and keep track of credentials. Allow the registrar to auto- renew on your behalf. Then you'll need to build a book website. If you don't hire a pro to design it, there are CMS providers (like WordPress) that enable you to do it yourself fairly easily from templates.

As we watched Meghan smooth the belt of her crisp white LINE the Label coat and brush a loose lock of hair out of her eyes, she looked over at a nervous Harry and put her hand on his back, rubbing the same spot several times. He was used to being in front of the press, but this time was different. He wasn’t advocating for one of his charities or urging leaders to take climate change seriously; he was sharing something personal: the news of his engagement to Meghan. Holding hands, they made their way to the throng of photographers waiting nearby. “You’ve got this,” she whispered to the prince as they walked out of a small gate at the side of Kensington Palace and up the long, canopied path to the Sunken Garden, whose lily-covered water in the ornamental pond and colorful pansies, tulips, and begonias made it one of Princess Diana’s favorite spots on the estate she once called home.
