WWD H&M’s 11th annual sustainability report, which is being released today, reveals the Swedish fast- fashion giant’s modus operandi in countries such as Bangladesh and Cambodia, where it continues to push for improved wages and conditions for factory workers. The biggest revelation is the publication of H&M’s supplier factory list. Retailers have long held suppli- er factory information close to the vest, viewing it as proprietary and not to be shared with their competi- tors. The list made public in H&M’s 2012 Conscious Actions Sustainability Report, represents 95 percent of the retailer’s supplier factories. According to Helena Helmersson, H&M’s global head of sustainability, the retailer is one of the few Active fashion companies to take this step. “We’ve seen a few sports brands doing this,” she said. “We are the fi rst [fashion retailer]. Obviously, we haven’t done this be- fore because we were worried about the competition” trying to use our factories.

  • Pirelli Calendar 2010 by Terry Richardson London
    Pirelli Calendar 2010 by Terry Richardson London, 19 November 2009 – The 2010 Pirelli Calendar, now in its 37th edition, was presented to the press and to guests and collectors from around the world, at its global premiere in London. The much-awaited appointment with ‘The Cal’, a cult object for over 40 years, was held this year at Old Billingsgate, the suggestive late 19th century building on the banks of the Thames, where from 1875 to 1982 it housed the capital city’s fish market. Following China, immortalized by Patrick Demarchelier in the 2008 edition, and Botswana shot by Peter Beard a year later, 2010 is the year of Brazil and of American photographer Terry Richardson, the celebrated “enfant terrible” known for his provocative and outrageous approach. In the 30 images that scan the months of 2010, Terry Richardson depicts a return to a playful, pure Eros. Through his lens he runs after fantasies and provokes, but with a simplicity that sculpts and captures the sunniest side of femininity. He portrays a woman who is captivating because she is natural, who plays with stereotypes in order to undo them, who makes irony the only veil she covers herself with. This is a return to the natural, authentic atmospheres and images of the ‘60s and ‘70s. It is a clear homage to the Calendar’s origins, a throwback to the first editions by Robert Freeman (1964), Brian Duffy (1965) and Harry Peccinotti (1968 and 1969). Terry Richardson, like his illustrious predecessors, has chosen a simple kind of photography, without retouching, where naturalness prevails over technique and becomes the key to removing artificial excesses in vogue today to reveal the true woman underneath.

  • 'Dior Couture,' with Stunning
    bitebookreviews ior Couture,’ with stunning pho- tography by Patrick Demarcheli- ‘Der, is a gorgeous must-have book chronicling the glory days of the Parisian fashion house established by Christian Dior shortly after the end of the Second World War. Dior, one of the legendary couturiers of all time, is famous for revo- lutionizing the world of haute-couture with the launch in 1947 of his first col- lection of hour-glass silhouettes, chris- tened the ‘New Look.’ Although he would die ten years later at the age of 52, Dior was a pow- erful muse to his successors, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Fer- ré, and John Galliano. “The delicate stitches of Christian Dior’s couture are reminiscent of a spider’s web, mir- roring nature, and these photographs capture the silhouettes like flower buds about to bloom,” American art- ist, Jeff Koons writes in the book’s foreword. Demarchelier — a veteran fash- ion photographer who has shot editorials for the likes of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle, along with campaigns for Dior, Yves Saint Lau- rent, and Chanel — captures more than 100 gowns, suits and coats from the entire span of Chris- tian Dior haute couture through to recent creations by Galliano. Beautiful locations — like a Bei- jing movie studio, New York’s Times Square, and Paris’ Opéra Garnier — serve as the back- drop for these exquisite pieces, worn by models including Gem- ma Ward, Karlie Kloss, Agyness Deyn and Natalia Vodianova. Ingrid Sischy, International Editor for Vanity Fair’s Eu- ropean editions and former Interview Magazine Editor, wrote the introduction to the 240-page book.

CLICK HERE to watch the music video, and CLICK HERE to watch a short film on the making of the album. Produced by legendary musician, producer and composer David Foster, ‘French Touch’ will be released on October 6th Decca. “Miss You” is available now via all digital and streaming services, along with the album’s first single, an intimate stripped-down rendition of Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy the Silence’. CLICK HERE to watch the video for ‘Enjoy the Silence’, which premiered via Billboard. ‘French Touch’ brings together a delightful trove of sentimental pop favourites; all reimagined in Carla’s intimate and moving acoustic style and chosen for their personal significance – in her own words, songs that inspire the French term for love at first sight – "a coup de foudre." Coup de foudre more or less also describes what happened when Bruni met Grammy award winning producer, composer, and musician David Foster after an L.A. performance in 2014. Foster volunteered to produce Carla’s next record on the spot, and the two began a transatlantic sharing of songs, which was then shaped during twin recording sessions in Paris and L.A.
