It appeared to be business as usual for Dior Beauty, back to host its sixth annual Oscar week dinner on Tuesday night. With the worldwide economy in turmoil, glamour lives in the run-up to Hollywood’s annual Academy Awards extravaganza on Sunday night, but brands are finding ways to save a buck: staging a cocktail party instead of a dinner, flying in fewer staffers or cutting back on or eliminating gift suites.

  • 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.

PAGE 2 APPEAL EXPECTED Dolce and Gabbana Guilty in Tax Trial By LUISA ZARGANI SPRING 2014 MILAN — Guilty. That was the verdict handed down to Domenico MILAN Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, as well as four other MEN’S defendants, here Wednesday afternoon in the design- COLLECTION ers’ long-running tax evasion case. Judge Antonella THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2013 ■ WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY ■ $3.00 PREVIEW Brambilla sentenced the designers and accountant Luciano Patelli to one year and eight months in jail, WWD plus legal expenses. Dolce’s brother Alfonso, gen- eral director Cristiana Ruella and fi nance director Giuseppe Minoni were sentenced to one year and four months in jail plus legal expenses. There is little chance the designers and the other defendants will serve any jail time because the sen- tences are below the two-year minimum generally re- quired in Italy to do so. The defendants were also charged with paying the Revenue Agency a provisional fi ne of 500,000 euros, or $668,650 at current exchange. The plaintiff solicitor Gabriella Valadia at the end of May asked for a provision- al fi ne of 10 million euros, or $13 million, citing damages to the image of the Revenue Service. Valadia at the time claimed that tax evasion “shows a system that is not cred- ible and effi cacious, it hurts the credibility of the Italian fi scal system, aggravated by the fact that the individuals at the center of the trial are so famous.” The court’s fi ne is separate from one imposed by the Revenue Agency of more than 400 million euros, or $535 million at current exchange, at the end of March.

    Young at heart - Mail Online article Young at heart: Average age of BBC Radio 1 listener is STILL 32 despite desperate attempts to shake-up the station and bring in younger listeners • Average age of BBC Radio 1 listener is 32, station boss confirmed • Figure remains the same despite bids to bring in a younger audience - such as giving DJ Nick Grimshaw the coveted Breakfast show slot • YouTube channel was also launched to attract those aged 15-29 • Controller Ben Cooper said today the average ‘kept him up at night’ • Station has 11million listeners, but rival Radio 2 reaches 12.5million a week By Lizzie Edmonds Published: 12:59, 21 February 2014 | Updated: 09:28, 22 February 2014 Radio 1’s average listener age is 32 - despite numerous moves, including giving Nick Grimshaw (pictured) the coveted Breakfast show position, to bring the figure down to match its 15-29 target audience. The average age of a BBC Radio 1 listener has remained stuck at 32 - despite numerous attempts by the station to appeal to a younger audience. Over the past couple of years, Radio 1 has tried numerous tactics to reduce its average listening age to match its 15-29 target audience - including replacing Breakfast show host Chris Moyles with Nick Grimshaw in September 2012. It was hoped the latter would bring in a new, younger audience who were more interested in chart music. Younger presenters such as Greg James and Jameela Jamil were also given high-profile slots over ‘older’ predecessors. Other methods - such as installing cameras in studios so listeners can watch shows, launching a YouTube channel where viewers can watch humorous stunts filmed by presenters, and increased publicity surrounding festivals The Big Weekend and the Ibiza Weekend - were also tried.
