  • CCP Coercion of U.S. Companies V3
    Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Coercion of U.S. Companies The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) frequently pressures and coerces U.S. compa- nies to conform to its political values and foreign policy. Because of China’s market size, individual companies often feel as though they have no option but to comply with CCP demands. 1. Tiffany & Co. (October 8, 2019) Tiffany & Co. removed a tweeted advertisement featuring a Chinese model wearing a Tiffany ring and covering her right eye with her right hand, a pose many Chinese social media accounts claimed referenced a pose that has come to be associated with the Hong Kong protest movement. 2. Activision Blizzard (October 8, 2019) Activision Blizzard suspended Hong Kong-based Chung Ng Wai, a professional player of one of its online games, after Chung expressed support for Hong Kong protesters in a post-game interview. In addition to making Chung ineligible to receive prize money he had earned in 2019, the company fired the two individuals who conducted the interview with Chung. 3. South Park (October 8, 2019) Comedy Central’s “South Park” was removed from major video streaming plat- forms in China after the cartoon aired an episode satirizing the PRC government’s retaliation against U.S. companies for statements in support of Hong Kong. 4. Houston Rockets/NBA (October 6-8, 2019) After Daryl Morey, General Manager of National Basketball Association (NBA) team the Houston Rockets, tweeted an image with the caption “Fight for Freedom.

Academy Award Awinner Goldie Hawn and her daughter Kate Hudson made a surprise appearance at Atelier Versace in an atypi- cal family night out in Paris. But the real frenzy didn’t start until the 35-year-old “Almost Famous” star turned her back to the paparazzi. What was revealed - a very daringly-placed Versace cut- out - was a fashion coup Donatella could be proud of. Here are the highlights and tidbits of the first day of haute cou- ture collections, including show reports for Atelier Versace, Dior and Schiaparelli. Kate Hudson shows derriere Underwear is so passÈ (ask Rihanna). Hudson’s was just the latest name added to the list of stars to forgo under- wear in the name of fashion. The Oscar-nominated actress triggered hysteria by posing in a bright red cocktail dress from the new Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Collection with a cutout that demurely exposed her buttock. Knickers were nowhere to be seen. Her mother dressed more prudently in a black long sleeve cocktail dress with crystal zipper details from this year’s Versace Resort.

  • Gillian Laub CV 2021
    Gillian Laub (b.1975, Chappaqua, New York) is a photographer and filmmaker based in New York. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in comparative literature before studying photography at the International Center of Photography, where her love of visual storytelling and family narratives began. Laub’s first monograph, Testimony (Aperture 2007), began as a response to the media coverage during the second Intifada in the Middle East, and a desire to create a dialogue between apparent enemies. This work is comprised of portraits and testimonies from Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs, Lebanese, and Palestinians all directly and indirectly affected by the complicated geopolitical context in which they lived. Laub spent over a decade working in Georgia exploring issues of lingering racism in the American South. This work became Laub’s first feature length, directed and produced, documentary film, Southern Rites that premiered on HBO in May 2015. Her monograph, Southern Rites (Damiani, 2015) and travelling exhibition by the same title came out in conjunction with the film and are being used for an educational outreach campaign, in schools and institutions across the country. Southern Rites was named one of the best photo books of 2015 by TIME, Smithsonian, Vogue, LensCulture, and American Photo. It was also nominated for a Lucie award and Humanitas award. "Riveting...In a calm, understated tone, Southern Rites digs deep to expose the roots that have made segregated proms and other affronts possible. Southern Rites is a portrait of the inequities that lead to disaster on the streets of cities like Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo.” - The New York Times Laub has been interviewed on NPR, CNN, MSNBC, Good Morning America, Times Talks and numerous others.

  • Versace's Native American
    VERSACE’S NATIVE AMERICAN A COLONIZED FEMALE BODY IN THE NAME OF AESTHETIC AND DYNASTIC GLORY 1 In this contemporary moment fashion designers have the means to collaborate with Native American fashion designers. However, there is still a flourishing fashion market that refuses to recognize Native American tribes as owners of intellectual property.1 While some brands may initially start on the right track via collaboration with Native artists, it may not always end in success.2 Most recently, Versace has included Native American designs in their ready-to-wear fashion for the 2018 Spring-Summer season. This component of the collection belongs to a tribute honoring Gianni Versace and his original FW ’92 Native American print (Figures 1 and 2).3 I will be discussing the implications of the revived Native American print and how it affects Native North American men and women. In this essay, I will look at Versace’s legacy and his original print; the new Native American Tribute Collection by Donatella Versace; and Donna Karan’s collaboration with Pueblo artist, Virgil Ortiz. I argue that respectful recognition of Native North American property is thrown aside for aesthetic and dynastic glory, which in turn, allows non-Native designers to colonize the ‘exotic’ Native woman’s body by denying Native North American men and women the opportunity to represent themselves to the global fashion community. Virgil Ortiz’s collaboration with Donna Karan illustrates how respectful collaboration can shape the dominant society’s perception of Native North American women. If we use Native North American fashion as a framework to understand how Native designers are working to dismantle mainstream stereotypes, it is imperative that global designers 1 “Navajo Nation Sues Urban Outfitters,” Business Law Daily, March 18, 2012.

  • How a New Generation of Designers Is Shaking up Storied Fashion Houses
    How a New Generation of Designers Is Shaking Up Storied Fashion Houses FEBRUARY 13, 2018 8:00 AM photographed by MIKAEL JANSSON In 2018, a fashion house is not a home—not unless the designer living there is able to transform it so that it reflects our lives and times rather than some vainglorious past. A respectful reverence for the way things once were is one thing, but no one wants (or wants to wear) a timid tiptoe through a house’s greatest hits. Thankfully the last couple of years have seen houses taken over by designers who aren’t interested in just blithely looking back. It’s a big world out there—show that you actually live in it and put out work that’s both personal and real. The appearance of Alessandro Michele at Gucci in 2015 kick-started a revolution in the industry that’s still being felt. Michele was an unknown studio stalwart of two-plus decades who manned up—in bejeweled brocades and masses of rings—to take on a label that was threatening to lose its luster. His riotous celebration of outsider beauty and embrace of diversity didn’t just give us all some thrilling stuff to wear; it provided a gorgeous, sparkly, gender-defying brew that was a delicious corrective to the challenging and oftentimes nasty narratives coming at us from elsewhere. In the space of a mere two years or so, there has been a remarkable number of names arriving at some of the most storied houses, and we celebrate them this month by photographing their spring 2018 collections on an equally compelling cast of characters.
