Italy Comes to Houston Big Travel in Micronesia Harry Shum Jr Gets Gleeful yellowmags.com Sep09 1-10-P 9/5/09 5:35 AM Page 2 FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF How would you like to travel to Italy without having to go through security, dealing with delays and the countless other inconveniences of international travel? Well, we can suggest the next best thing. Houstonians will be able to participate in their very first Italian Style Expo. Considered to be America’s largest “Made in Italy” exposition, the best of Italian food, wine, tourism, design, fashion and entertainment will be showcased. A dizzying array of activities and areas of interest will be available, promising something for everyone (including the kids). Fortunately, it is a three day event to ensure that you have the opportunity to see everything! Thank goodness that Tina Turner sang We Don’t Need Another Hero and not We Don’t Need Another Superhero. It seems that during the course of the last few years, superheroes have dominated Hollywood blockbusters. And, on the small screen, Heroes on NBC is a feast for the insatiable appetite of lovers of the superhero genre. On September 21st, the series will launch into its fourth season and fans cannot wait. James Kyson Lee plays Ando on the series, and has only recently received his powers. He shares his insights about the entertainment business, his movie, White on Rice, that will be released this month, and what he considers to be the ideal woman. Take note ladies, he is single! Are you familiar with Harry Shum, Jr., who plays Cable in the Step Up movies, the third of which is expected to be released in 2010? If not, you are probably familiar with those ubiquitous iPod silhouette dance commercials that Apple so effectively featured on almost every channel possible. Harry is the dancer behind the silhouette. And, now, you will be able to see him in the musical comedy series, Glee, premiering on Fox on September 9th. You wouldn’t know it by looking at him but in his interview, Harry tells us why he thinks “geek is chic”. Finally, we want to extend our warm congratulations to Angela Wang, who was recently crowned Miss Chinatown Houston. She will be representing Houston when she competes for the Miss Chinatown USA title in San Francisco Photo by Collin Kelly next February. V. Van Hoang Sep09 1-10-P 9/5/09 5:35 AM Page 3 The color yellow has played a recurrent symbolic role throughout the history of Asian culture. It symbolizes the earth that sustains all life, yet has been embraced by Buddhist monks as an expression of unchallenged power. Such is the role of yellow: always revered but in different ways under different circumstances. The mission of Yellow Magazine is to introduce our readers to the artistic , fashion, lifestyle and entertainment contributions made by Asian Americans. It is our hope that the depth and breadth of the topics and events we cover do justice to the pride that the color yellow has represented throughout the millennia. As the editor in chief of Yellow Magazine, my last name is Hoang, which also means yellow. Just as I am proud of my name, I am proud of my heritage, and proud of Yellow Magazine. Editor in Chief V.

  • Dress and Fabrics of the Mughals
    Chapter IV Dress and Fabrics of the Mughals- The great Mughal emperor Akbar was not only a great ruler, an administrator and a lover of art and architecture but also a true admirer and entrepreneur of different patterns and designs of clothing. The changes and development brought by him from Ottoman origin to its Indian orientation based on the land‟s culture, custom and climatic conditions. This is apparent in the use of the fabric, the length of the dresses or their ornamentation. Since very little that is truly contemporary with the period of Babur and Humayun has survived in paintings, it is not easy to determine exactly what the various dresses look like other than what has been observed by the painters themselves. But we catch a glimpse of the foreign style of these dresses even in the paintings from Akbar‟s period which make references, as in illustrations of history or chronicles of the earlier times like the Babar-Namah or the Humayun-Namah.1 With the coming of Mughals in India we find the Iranian and Central Asian fashion in their dresses and a different concept in clothing.2 (Plate no. 1) Dress items of the Mughals: Akbar paid much attention to the establishment and working of the various karkhanas. Though articles were imported from Iran, Europe and Mongolia but effort were also made to produce various stuffs indigenously. Skilful master and workmen were invited and patronised to settle in this country to teach people and improve system of manufacture.2 Imperial workshops Karkhanas) were established in the towns of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad.

    THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK VIRTUAL SALUTE TO GRADUATES JUNE 30, 2020 THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK VIRTUAL SALUTE 2020 | 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear CCNY Graduates of the Class of 2020, There are moments in our history that impress an indelible mark upon us, when we are called to do extraordinary things under the press of an indescribable moment. Anyone graduating in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic will be marked by this extraordinary moment. But even among that national class graduating in 2020, you are different. At a time when the inequitable imprint of this scourge underscores the other inequities in our society, the City College—and those who work study and graduate from it—stand apart. You graduate from an institution established to redress inequality, an institution that each generation has the responsibility of scanning the social and Vince Boudreau political landscape, and setting its sights on rectifying that which sits most uneasily in President the light of that responsibility. It has been over fifty years since we have faced the kinds of challenges we face today to our democracy, to the fabric of our society, and to the health and security of our people. As an institution, we were made for this moment. As graduates of CCNY, you now shoulder the responsibility of giving voice to your vision of that just society, a vision we have worked to develop and instill in you all the days of your work with us. You have struggled, sometimes mightily and against long odds, to reach this day, and we beam with pride at your accomplishment.

Every now and then we will include extra articles when we believe they are most needed. My iPhone advises me that the “coolest” high temperature during the week this issue goes to press is a mere 94 degrees! Assuming that you will likely develop a much closer relationship with indoor air conditioning during this time, we thought this was a great month to stay home and read. We wanted to support you in that endeavor. See what is inside: Two celebrity interviews; Margaret Cho (our cover model) is launching Drop Dead Diva on Lifetime on July 12th; and Amy Rider, who is best known for her recurrent role in the ABC hit series The Secret Life of an American Teenager.

    Fashion Trends 2016 U.S. & U.K. Report [email protected] Intro With every query typed into a search bar, we are given a glimpse into user considerations or intentions. By compiling top searches, we are able to render a strong representation of the population and gain insight into this population’s behavior. In our second iteration of the Google Fashion Trends Report, we are excited to introduce data from multiple markets. This report focuses on apparel trends from the United States and United Kingdom to enable a better understanding of how trends spread and behaviors emerge across the two markets. We are proud to share this iteration and look forward to hearing back from you. Olivier Zimmer | Trends Data Scientist Yarden Horwitz | Trends Brand Strategist Methodology To compile a list of accurate trends within the fashion industry, we pulled top volume queries related to the apparel category and looked at their monthly volume from May 2014 to May 2016. We first removed any seasonal effect, and then measured the year-over-year growth, velocity, and acceleration for each search query. Based on these metrics, we were able to classify the queries into similar trend patterns. We then curated the most significant trends to illustrate interesting shifts in behavior.

  • Fashionpedia: Ontology, Segmentation, and an Attribute Localization Dataset
    Fashionpedia: Ontology, Segmentation, and an Attribute Localization Dataset Menglin Jia?1, Mengyun Shi?1;4, Mikhail Sirotenko?3, Yin Cui?3, Claire Cardie1, Bharath Hariharan1, Hartwig Adam3, Serge Belongie1;2 1Cornell University 2Cornell Tech 3Google Research 4Hearst Magazines Abstract. In this work we explore the task of instance segmentation with attribute localization, which unifies instance segmentation (detect and segment each object instance) and fine-grained visual attribute cat- egorization (recognize one or multiple attributes). The proposed task requires both localizing an object and describing its properties. To illus- trate the various aspects of this task, we focus on the domain of fashion and introduce Fashionpedia as a step toward mapping out the visual aspects of the fashion world. Fashionpedia consists of two parts: (1) an ontology built by fashion experts containing 27 main apparel categories, 19 apparel parts, 294 fine-grained attributes and their relationships; (2) a dataset with everyday and celebrity event fashion images annotated with segmentation masks and their associated per-mask fine-grained at- tributes, built upon the Fashionpedia ontology. In order to solve this challenging task, we propose a novel Attribute-Mask R-CNN model to jointly perform instance segmentation and localized attribute recogni- tion, and provide a novel evaluation metric for the task. Fashionpedia is available at: https://fashionpedia.github.io/home/. Keywords: Dataset, Ontology, Instance Segmentation, Fine-Grained, Attribute, Fashion 1 Introduction Recent progress in the field of computer vision has advanced machines' ability to recognize and understand our visual world, showing significant impacts in arXiv:2004.12276v2 [cs.CV] 18 Jul 2020 fields including autonomous driving [52], product recognition [32,14], etc.
