Shadowy Fund-raiser: Past of Norman Hsu Traced to Men’s Wear By Evan Clark and Kristi Ellis WASHINGTON — Norman Hsu, the scandal- plagued fund-raiser tied to presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, has made much mileage out of his involvement in the fashion world — but his industry activities remain a mystery. While the companies Hsu lists on his contribution forms no longer exist, if they ever did, his claim to a fashion background at least has some legitimacy — in the Eighties, he was an aspiring fashion executive trying to live out the American dream, driving around Los Angeles in a flashy sports See Hsu’s, Page 7 PHOTO BY ROBERT MITRA ROBERT PHOTO BY 2 WWD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2007 WWD.COM L&T Near Deal With Abboud NRDC has already estab- nesses, which in some cases will WWDWEDNESDAY By David Moin Sportswear lished partnerships and fi- provide product and new lines ord & Taylor is close to com- nancial arrangements with a for Lord & Taylor and possibly Lpleting another designer ex- handful of American designers, other retailers.

  • Hanae Mori Velvet Shift Dress
    Hanae Mori Target Dress, ca.1970. Ryerson FRC2009.03.001AB. Donated by Jocelyn Ryles. HANAE MORI VELVET SHIFT DRESS By Dr. Ingrid Mida This Hanae Mori shift dress with stand collar, short sleeves and belt is made and Kimberly Leckey out of velvet and is fully lined in black polyester satin. The design on the front of the dress is an abstracted pink and red circular target pattern. The design May 16, 2014 on the back of the dress is an abstracted motif of black and gray. One sleeve is in black velvet and the other sleeve is a repeat of the target pattern. The dress closes with a back metal zipper and two hooks and eyes at the collar. This Hanae Mori velvet shift dress with belt (FRC2009.03.001 A+B) was donated to the Ryerson Fashion Research Collection in 2009 by Jocelyn Ryles. No other provenance information was obtained at the time of donation. The following description and analysis was written by Ryerson School of Fashion student Kimberly Leckey and was revised and edited by Collection Coordinator Ingrid Mida. It should be noted that Kimberly Leckey’s interpretation of this dress represents only one of many possibilities. This dress might also be used to consider a range of topics in a scholarly approach to fashion research including: the design practices of Hanae Mori over her career, the nature of Japanese designers on western fashion, or perhaps the psychology reflected in the styles and silhouettes of 1970s fashions for women. 1 Hanae Mori DESCRIPTION Target Dress, The dress is sewn together with black polyester thread and the inside seams ca.1970.

Le succès est tel que d’autres concerts suivent, toujours autour d’événements exceptionnels. Reims en 2000, Alger, Annaba en 2001 et Paris en 2002 ; chaque concert étant l’occasion de revisiter les titres et d’en ajouter de nouveau : Amours des feintes, Fuir le bonheur, Les Clefs du paradis et bien d’autres.
