Coming Under Pressure: Activist Shareholders Target Retailers Again By Evan Clark THE GADFLIES ARE BACK — and this time they’ve got deep pockets. Target Corp., Dillard’s Inc., Chico’s FAS Inc., Charming Shoppes Inc., Syms Corp. and Haggar Corp. are just some of the fashion firms that have faced, or are confronting, activist shareholder campaigns. These outsider efforts are often marked by lawsuits, battles to sell divisions or replace board members and the airing of as much dirt as can be excavated.

With the worldwide economy in turmoil, glamour lives in the run-up to Hollywood’s annual Academy Awards extravaganza on Sunday night, but brands are finding ways to save a buck: staging a cocktail party instead of a dinner, flying in fewer staffers or cutting back on or eliminating gift suites.

Grantz) (Do Not Delete) 12/5/2011 11:35 PM Note Fashioning a New Look in Intellectual Property: Sui Generis Protection for the Innovative Designer Linna T. Loangkote* Fashion design is weaving its way through the fabric of American society by transforming how people think about fashion apparel. The $350 billion fashion industry not only puts the clothes on our backs, but gives individuals an outlet for individual expression as well. More and more, the fashion design process is recognized as a creative process where vision, raw materials, and skill meet to produce fashion apparel that should be worthy of sui generis protection. Current intellectual property regimes fail to adequately equip designers with legal remedies to guard against design piracy, and this affects both innovation and competition. Moreover, even though the U.S is a signatory to the Berne Convention, the U.S.’s lack of a protection scheme for fashion design is out of step with other signatory members, namely the European Union, and this mismatch could invite unintended reciprocity problems for American designers abroad.

  • NYT When the Fashion Cycle Meets the Cycle of Life Condensed
    A week before his 20th-anniversary salon-style show, held on the Wednesday morning before New York Fashion Week officially opened, Narciso Rodriguez was in his Gramercy Park office showing off a gray flannel coat with three wooden buttons and a hood, lined in felted black wool. It was, like most of his clothes, understated and chic and perfectly tailored. It was also about a foot long. It was a one-off, made for Ivy Carolyn, one of his 8-month-old twins. “I have come to believe smaller is better,” Mr. Rodriguez, 57, said. He wasn’t really talking about clothes. He was talking about work/life balance. It’s an unusual topic in fashion, where the choices between the professional and the personal have rarely been part of the industry conversation the way they have in other sectors, like finance and law. For an industry that prides itself on being on the vanguard of social change, it’s another way in which fashion lags behind. But after two decades in the business — after a stint in the spotlight at Loewe as part of the first generation of designers to take over old houses and jazz them up; after seeing fashion move from being about silhouette and seam to being about entertainment; after rejecting the gilded cage of creative directorship and returning to New York and an independent business; after weathering Sept. 11 and the recession of 2008 — Mr. Rodriguez had decided to put the matter on the pattern-making table. “I don’t need a yacht,” he said.

    Council of Fashion Designers of America ANNUAL REPORT 2017 The mission of the Council of Fashion Designers of America is to strengthen the impact of American fashion in the global economy. B 1 Letter from the Chairwoman, Diane von Furstenberg, and the President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven Kolb In fashion, we respond to the world we live in, a point that was powerfully driven home in 2017. We were excited to see talents with broad cultural backgrounds and political ideas begin to express their experiences and beliefs through their collections. Diversity moved into the spotlight in ways we have never seen before. Designers embraced new approaches to business, from varying show formats to disruptive delivery cycles. It was also the year to make your voices heard, and CFDA listened. We engaged in civic initiatives important to our industry and partnered with Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and FWD.us. We also relaunched our CFDA Health Initiative with guidelines to help those impacted by sexual assault or other forms of abuse. There’s no going back. In 2018, CFDA is moving ahead at full speed with an increased focus on inclusivity and women in fashion, the latter through an exciting new study with Glamour magazine. We may be a reflection of the world we live in, but we also work hard to make that world a better place. Altruism, after all, never goes out of style. 3 CFDA STRENGTHENED PILLARS WITH MISSION-DRIVEN ACTIONS MEMBERSHIP Fashion Professional Fashion Civic+ Retail Partnership Week + Market Development Supply Chain Philanthropy Opportunities SUSTAINABILITY INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT SOCIAL AND EDITORIAL MARKETING AND EVENTS KEY UNCHANGED MODIFIED NEW PROVIDED INITIATIVES RELEVANT TO DESIGNERS EMERITUS AT EVERY STAGE OF CAREER DESIGNERS • Board Engagement • Philanthropy and Civic ICONIC Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • Board Engagement • Fashion Week • Philanthropy and Civic ESTABLISHED Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • NETWORK.

  • Lana Del Rey Style: I Migliori Look
    Leggi l'articolo su beautynews Lana Del Rey style: i migliori look Ne è passata di acqua sotto i ponti da quando Lana Del Rey ha lanciato il suo singolo di debutto nel 2011, Video Games. La sua voce roca e profonda - ribattezzata "Hollywood sadcore" - è immediatamente riconoscibile; e il glamour nostalgico celebrato nelle sue canzoni si riflette anche nelle sue scelte in fatto di stile. Dal look dimesso degli esordi - shorts in denim, magliette vintage e maxi orecchini a cerchio - ai look glamour e ultra fashionisti di oggi. Il beauty look? capelli cotonati anni Sessanta, ciglia finte e unghie a “stiletto” alla Priscilla Presley. È la musa preferita di brand e stilisti che vogliono ricreare uno stile effortless e cool: uno su tutti, Gucci. Del Rey, va detto, ha attirato l’attenzione delle maison ben prima che Alessandro Michele la inserisse nella sua lista di muse. Nel video del 2012 di Born To Die video, ad esempio, sfoggia un abito bianco finestrato sul seno creato dallo stilista anglo-siciliano Antonio Berardi, mentre siede su di un trono circondata da tigri. In quello stesso anno, durante le fashion week, la sua voce è stata "presenza ossessiva" alle sfilate PE12 di Christopher Kane e di Emilio de la Morena. E per "cementare" il suo trionfo nella moda, nel 2012 indossa un abito di paillettes di Altuzarra, con tanto di mantella, sul red carpet del Met Gala.
