  • Phenomenal Woman: Michelle Obama's Embodied Rhetoric And
    Phenomenal Woman: Michelle Obama’s Embodied Rhetoric and the Cultural Work of Fashion Biographies Stefanie Schäfer ABSTRACT Michelle Obama’s role as the first black First Lady of the U.S. is contextualized in discourses of feminism and race, in the historical meaning of the First Lady, and in the world of fashion and celebrity. Her strategy in engaging these discourses is described here as an ‘embodied rhetoric,’ in which she caters to media attention but refuses to comment on her fashion choices, thereby creating a void for interpretation that is filled by a plethora of readings. Drawing from biography and iconicity theory as well as fashion and First Lady Studies, this article discusses three icon- ic appearances of Obama that demonstrate her stances on the First Lady’s role, black female stereotypes, and fashion as empowerment, respectively. It examines the cultural work of two genres of celebrity texts, biographies and fashion biographies, in order to extrapolate her ‘real’ character and historical meaning for American womanhood. Obama’s case illustrates the inter- dependence between iconic persona and public mythmaking: The First Lady’s ‘office’ serves as a template for the creation of an American fashion icon. As a consequence, the Presidency is no longer a solitary office, but one occupied by a First Couple ruling by political and fashion power. This article discusses three iconic appearances of Obama that comment on her First Lady role, on black female stereotypes, and on fashion as empowerment, respectively. It examines how bi- ographies and fashion biographies interpret these appearances in order to extrapolate her ‘real’ character and historical meaning for American womanhood.

  • Penelope Rowlands
    A Conversation with Penelope Rowlands enelope Rowlands’s biography of Carmel Snow, A Dash of Daring: Carmel Snow and P Her Life in Fashion, Art, and Letters was one of the books that was most valuable to the curatorial team that put together The Women of Harper’s Bazaar, 1936-1958. In became the heavily Post- it noted Bible for all things Bazaar. In a fitting twist, Rowlands used FIT’s copies of Harper’s Bazaar that date from Snow’s tenure for her research, just as the curators did. Because Rowlands, a journalist, was working on a project in Paris, she wasn’t able to attend the exhibition. However, she made time to speak on the phone with one of the curators, Nancy MacDonell, also a journalist, to talk about Carmel Snow, the importance of a good editor in chief, and the current state of fashion journalism. The following is an edited, condensed version of their conversation. Nancy MacDonell: Thank you so much for agreeing to speak with me. Penelope Rowlands: Oh, you're welcome. I was thrilled to hear about the show. As you can imagine, I have a bias towards Carmel and I'm always happy to hear her getting some attention. NM: If someone has heard of any of these three women they've probably heard of Diana Vreeland. I think Carmel Snow was a more gifted editor, but she didn't get the recognition that Vreeland got. PR: Well, that's exactly true, and when I met with Richard Avedon that was one of my Questions, and he’s quoted in the book—that Carmel came along before fashion editors were stars.

  • Livers of Sharks, Especially Deepwater Shark Species Which Are Especially Vulnerable Theto Overfishing and Often Endangered
    AN EXCLUSIVE STUDY BY BLOOM March 2015 Shark in our beauty BEAST creams and the Beauty Shark in our beauty BEAST creams Some cosmetic brands still use a substance derived from the liver of sharks in the blends of moisturizing creams. In 2012,and BLOOM carried out a worldwide study on the use of shark squalane, a substance extracted from the livers of sharks, especially deepwater shark species which are especially vulnerable theto overfishing and often endangered. The study revealed that the cosmetics sector was the main consumer of animal squalane, even though plant substitutes derived from sugar cane or olive were available. The report pointed to the urgency for corporations to take their environmental responsibility seriously and to modify their supply chain in order to exclusively use plant squalane. Two years later, in 2014, BLOOM proceeded to carry out the largest test ever made on commercial creams to identify the presence of shark squalane in them. In total, BLOOM tested 72 moisturizing creams whose list of ingredients mentioned “squalane”. Labels did not specify whether the squalane was animal-based (shark) or plant-based (olive or sugarcane). Ten creams out of 72 did not contain a sufficient volume of squalane altogether to identify its origin, but results were robust for 62 of the products tested. As a conclusion, one moisturizing cream out of five contains shark squalane. It appearsBeauty that a high proportion of Asian brands still use shark squalane while Western brands, although still massively concerned by this issue in 2012, have globally shifted away from using shark substances.
