For me, paying $250 for museum membership and $1,000 to participate in the Costume as last year’s incoming chair, the process began in March of 2012, when I met Council. Future events will be planned by the curators and LACMA’s with Sharon Takeda, senior curator of costume and textiles, and members of development team.

The Cindy Canzoneri Costume Council’s lasting legacy is LACMA’s incredible collection, now regarded Costume Council Chair as one of the finest in the world, which we have helped create through our dues—and sometimes even donations from our own closets!

Covering the Runways: Fur in Every Which Way A Major Trend for Fall By Katya Foreman PARIS — Nevermind global warming: Fur is back in vogue. Lush, long-haired furs have been omnipresent on runways in New York, Milan and now Paris, where Chanel’s show Tuesday — with a polar bear on the invitation — is expected to feature more fuzzy moments of the faux variety. Fur’s ferocious return has been met with a largely mute reaction from animal rights activists during the international collections, one exception being a raucous protest outside Jean Paul Gaultier’s show on Saturday. The accelerating fashion trend — from a run of fur or fur-trimmed outerwear at Oscar de la Renta, Proenza Schouler, Marc Jacobs, Fendi, Gucci and Balenciaga to furry footwear See Fur, Page15 PHOTO BY BY GIANNONI GIOVANNI PHOTO BY 2 WWD, MONDAY, MARCH 8, 2010 WWD.COM Payless to Launch Beauty Component By Sophia Chabbott WWDAccessories/Innerwear/LegwearMONDAY PAYLESS SHOESOURCE WILL soon find out if customers have FASHION the same passion for lipstick and Paris Fashion Week rolls on with collections from body sprays as they do for shoes s 6 and accessories.

  • Exploring Branding and Retail Identity, Woodbury University Interior Architecture Stud
    For Immediate Release Exploring Branding and Retail Identity, Woodbury University Interior Architecture Students Collaborate With March Studio and Tadashi Shoji for Glendale Galleria Experimental Concept Store Student-Inspired Concepts to Showcase Installations Made from Repurposed, Off-the-Shelf Materials LOS ANGELES (March 29, 2016) – In a bid to examine – and perhaps help to redefine – the boundaries between branding and retail identity, students from Woodbury University’s School of Architecture are collaborating with architects at March Studio (www.marchstudio.com) and fashion house Tadashi Shoji (http://www.tadashishoji.com/) on a series of branded installations for an experimental, short-term Concept Store at the Glendale Galleria mall. Woodbury Interior Architecture students have teamed with adjunct faculty Lara Hoad, AIA LEED AP, Design Director at March Studio, and Todd A, Erlandson, AIA LEED AP, principal architect at March Studio, together with Tadashi Shoji for the project, in which student- inspired concepts will showcase installations made from off-the-shelf, and re-purposed materials, contrasting with the fine detail and craftsmanship of Tadashi Shoji’s dress designs. Among the participating students: Ahmed Abuzaid, Hadeel Alhamed, Rawan Almajed, Sabreen Al-Shawwa, Zachary Cohen, Imelda Daniel, Shahrzad Khezri, Jean Marquez, Shamane Morejon, Marion Ponce, Grace Scaglione, Nicholas Traver and Tatev Zohrabyan. The store is scheduled to open early May. “This is a true collaboration involving the architect, the client and students,” said Lara Hoad, Design Director, March Studio. “Branding, long associated as a marketing strategy, has taken on issues of creating individual and company identities. This project will investigate how interior architecture can inform and shape branded retail experience.” Working with founder and chief designer, Tadashi Shoji, students will start with an in- depth look at the brand, using research from both internal and external sources to produce branded objects.
