  • (Roy Halston Frowick) (1932-1990) by Shaun Cole
    Halston (Roy Halston Frowick) (1932-1990) by Shaun Cole Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The first international fashion superstar, Halston was a master of cut, detail, and finish. He dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women. Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Babe Paley, Barbara Walters, Lauren Bacall, Bianca Jagger, and Liza Minnelli were just some of the women who wore Halston. Roy Halston Frowick was born on April 23, 1932 in Des Moines, Iowa, the second son of a Norwegian- American accountant with a passion for inventing. Roy developed an interest in sewing from his mother. As an adolescent he began creating hats and embellishing outfits for his mother and sister. Roy graduated from high school in 1950 then attended Indiana University for one semester. After the family moved to Chicago in 1952, he enrolled in a night course at the Chicago Art Institute and worked as a window dresser. Frowick's first big break came when the Chicago Daily News ran a brief story on his fashionable hats. In 1957 he opened his first shop, the Boulevard Salon, on Michigan Avenue. It was at this point that he began to use his middle name as his professional moniker. With the help of a lover twenty-five years his senior, celebrity hair stylist André Basil, Halston further developed his career by moving to New York later in 1957. Basil introduced Halston to milliner Lilly Daché, who offered him a job. Within a year he had been named co-designer at Daché, become the new best friend of several fashion editors and publishers, and left Daché's studio to become head milliner for department store Bergdorf Goodman.

Cialdini A lucky few have it; most of us do not. A handful of gifted “naturals” simply know how to capture an audience, sway the undecided, and convert the opposition. Watching these masters of persuasion work their magic is at once impressive and frustrating. What’s impressive is not just the easy way they use charisma and eloquence to convince others to do as they ask. It’s also how eager those others are to do what’s requested of them, as if the persuasion itself were a favor they couldn’t wait to repay. The frustrating part of the experience is that these born persuaders are often unable to account for their remarkable skill or pass it on to others. Their way with people is an art, and artists as a rule are far better at doing than at explaining. Most of them can’t offer much help to those of us who possess no more than the ordinary quotient of charisma and eloquence but who still have to wrestle with leadership’s fundamental challenge: getting things done through others. That challenge is painfully familiar to corporate executives, who every day have to figure out how to motivate and direct a highly individualistic work force. Playing the “Because I’m the boss” card is out.

  • At Condé Nast, Where Programmatic Means Premium
    March 24, 2014 Media Industry Newsletter Vol. 67 No. 12 New York, N.Y. www.minonline.com BEAUTY ADVERTISING TURNED UGLY IN APRIL. This might be remembered as when the chickens came home to roost at the women's beauty and fashion magazines. This segment was an exception to the downturns felt by others since the 2011 grace period ended in April with woeful performances by Elle (an Accessories-affected -13.93%), InStyle (-12.90%), Vogue (-13.16%) and W (-11.31%). The men's fashion side fared no better: Details, -19.03%, Esquire, -28.62%, GQ, -13.25%. One question is whether April was a sacrificial lamb that enabled the more important March "Spring Preview" numbers to remain respectable. We may find out in May as the crucial second quarter is when the budgets are set and the effects of holiday-season retail sales become known. Then in June results for September's most critical "Fall Pre- view" begin to be revealed. April was good at Town & Country, where the regular issue's +26.45% dif- ferential was boosted by T&C Weddings' 57.13 ad pages that made the month a +114.45% whopper and the year-to-date +22.48%. It more than offset the handicap faced by T&C publisher Jennifer Levene Bruno and her staff by competing against 2013's Weddings in February, and they are on a pace to better T&C's +19.40% last year. The best April differential also came from Hearst Magazines: Elle Decor's +39.79%. Time Inc.'s Travel + Leisure remained strong at +15.00%, but rival Condé Nast Trav- eler slumped to -3.91%.

  • Penske Media Acquires Sourcing Journal the Purchase Advances Fairchild’S and WWD’S Leadership Position in Today’S Fashion and Retail Business Coverage
    Penske Media Acquires Sourcing Journal The purchase advances Fairchild’s and WWD’s leadership position in today’s fashion and retail business coverage. By WWD Staff on October 27, 2017 NEW YORK – Penske Media Corporation (PMC) and its subsidiary Fairchild Media announced the acquisition of Sourcing Journal, the premiere media brand for global executives focused on the sourcing and manufacturing industries. The purchase advances Fairchild’s and WWD’s leadership position in today’s fashion and retail business coverage. “The future of fashion will rely much more on material sciences, sourcing and technology, so to bring into the fold the leading media publication in that space opens important opportunities for our WWD and FN brands as well as for our readers and partners,” said PMC chairman and chief executive officer Jay Penske. “Eddie is a remarkable entrepreneur; we’re eager to work with him and the entire Sourcing Journal team to continue the growth of this emerging brand and leading platform.” Since its founding by Edward Hertzman and his co-founder Munir Mashooqullah in 2009, Sourcing Journal has swiftly taken the lead as the top-tier voice for sourcing and manufacturing industry thought leaders. With over 70,000 readers, Sourcing Journal’s expert editorial team leads the industry conversation with smart investigative journalism, breaking news, analysis of global market conditions and industry white papers. “There’s something to be said about synergies and I think that’s what we’ve found with this move. When I met Jay, I knew he shared the same vision for the future of Sourcing Journal as I’ve had in all the years that got us to this point,” Hertzman said.

  • Fiscal Year Annual Report 01 WELCOME Sundance Institute Annual Report
    Sundance Institute Fiscal Year Annual Report 01 WELCOME Sundance Institute Annual Report Welcome As we navigate another year of global events and changes that are defining our times, we again turn to artists for insight and inspiration. Artists who open our eyes to new worlds and new ways of understanding different perspectives. Artists who harness the power of storytelling to activate important conversations and actions. With deep and sustaining support provided to more than 1,400 artists, including over $16 million invested in labs, grants, and fellowships, Sundance Institute’s commitment to support the visionary work of independent artists is uncompromising this year. We’re excited to share with you our 2019 Annual Report that illuminates three critical pillars of our mission in action: supporting the most talented independent artists around the world and advancing their creative practices; fostering an inclusive community to hear from underrepresented voices on the screen and stage; and catalyzing the impact of independent storytelling. Thank you to the dedicated staff, volunteers, and community of supporters of Sundance Institute who all come together in the shared belief that a world more connected through storytelling and a common humanity is a better world. We look forward to what’s possible in the year ahead. Robert Redford President & Founder Pat Mitchell Chair, Board of Trustees Robert Redford Pat Mitchell 02 WELCOME Sundance Institute Annual Report Welcome I am constantly amazed by the curiosity and passion of artists, and inspired by their creative journeys—a process fueled by reflection, risk-taking, and an openness to new possibilities. In 2019, Sundance Institute continued its own creative journey as we saw great opportunities for learning and evolving our own work to respond to the changing environment for artists around the world.
