Passion for Fashion (123) Tue, 8th Dec 2020 GMT/BST Viewing: For more information on viewing appointments, please call the office. Lot 116 Estimate: £4000 - £6000 + Fees A fine Balenciaga couture yellow satin sheath, Autumn- Winter 1962-63, Paris labelled and numbered 82706, of brilliant Chinese- yellow Duchesse satin, the sculpted, boned bodice with upwardly-curved front panel cut in one with the bodice front and looped, low shoulder straps which culminate centre-back in a cascading looped satin streamer which descends to the hem and conceals the rear zip and hook closure, low scooped U-shaped rear waist seam, in which the skirt is gently gathered, integral ivory grosgrain silk corset with wired, plush-trimmed breast cups, bust 81cm, 32in, waist 56cm, 22in Literature: A photograph of the House model wearing an identical dress (no 191) is illustrated in 'Balenciaga & Spain', p223. A similar dress with rear bow to closure is illustrated in 'Balenciaga', Cristobal Balenciaga Museo, p272. This dress combines spectacular colour with an ingenious sculpted shape and superb construction. For Spring 1962, Cristobal Balenciaga and his close friend Hubert de Givenchy, tired of the Paris Fashion Week circus and annoyed with detrimental comments in previous seasons made by the fashion press, controversially decided to show their collections a month later than everyone else. Admittance to the salons (both Houses faced each other on the George V) was strictly controlled. They admitted first their important private clients, overseas buyers, agents and last of all - the press. Balenciaga's collections were sometimes considered by the fashion press to be too avant-garde (however strange that may seem to us today) and the journalists occasionally made disparaging comments that could put off potential buyers. However, Balenciaga needn't have worried - press and clients alike adored the collection. 'The collection of this top couturier expresses both an exquisite femininity and an aristocratic elegance, and seems to have reached a pinnacle of excellence that is difficult to translate into words: everything is in the secret of the stunning cut, the mystery of lines apparently simple but artfully achieved.' L'OFFICIELL DE LA COUTURE ET DE LA MODE DE PARIS, April 1962 'His rejection of easiness and the ingenious architecture of his models have created a style apart (or rather ahead), spare, vigorous, spectacular, inimitable, prophetic'. ELLE, 23rd March, 1962..

Walking Away from the Runway
Walking Away from the Runway Thesis – One Year Master Textile Manage ment Christina Christodoulou Year: 2015. Thesis id number: 2015.11.06 Acknowledgements I would like to wholeheartedly thank my supervisor David Goldsmith for his guidance and knowledge and most of all for his positive spirit. Also, I would like to thank my parents who really supported me the whole year with their love under any circumstances. Thanks to the designers who accepted to participate in my group discussion and enlightened my thesis with their ideas. Lastly, the paper is dedicated to my favourite uncle that I lost during the master thesis. He was a smiley person who loved to be educated. English title: Walking Away from the Runway Year of publication: 2015 Author/s: Christina Christodoulou Supervisor: David Goldsmith Abstract Fashion shows in a common western context were focused on the garments that were presented. Albeit, the latest decades a shift has been observed from what is presented to how it is presented to the audiences. Particular designers are the leaders of this evolution. Does this phenomenon imply something long term for the fashion system and how fashion is displayed? The purpose of the research is to inquire into the metamorphosis of the runway presentations from the expected status quo to new forms. The compass of this exploration is an observation about fashion shows in retrospect and a focus group discussion with fashion designers master students from the Swedish School of Textiles. It contributes an insight into designers’ approach towards fashion presentations, yet it is used as tool to enable them illustrate their vision on their future presentations.

Info Pack Ethical Fashion Hackathon 6Th May 2020 Fashion Weeks
Fashion Weeks Info pack Ethical Fashion Hackathon 6th May 2020 Fashion Weeks Introduction Fashion weeks expose the enormous flaw at the heart of the fashion industry business model: the cost to people and the planet. In the last 12 months, the fashion show circuit (NY, London, Milan, Paris) emitted 241,000 tonnes of CO2. The equivalent of lighting up Times Square for 58 years. In 2020, is this still justifiable? Huge swathes of our industry flying across the world to view a 12 minute runaway show featuring collections that will mostly be displayed and sold online? These events are moments of both celebration of beauty and art as well as commercial platforms to feed a hungry business model, structured in an organisational form that pays no attention to sustainability. They run one after the other, forcing industry staff to travel frantically from here to there (via land, sea and air), while producers work in emergency-like conditions to have products ready for the shows, causing an imbalance in personal health and mental well being. In the meantime, consumers are bombarded by a mountain of images and faces of influencers, very few of whom acknowledge how these goods are made or their impact on people’s lives and on the natural world. All this while our planet risks extinction. Asks ● For editors and buyers being present in the physical space of a live show is “the experience”. The multisensory journey to see, touch and feel the collections and interacting with designers is paramount. Can digital, AR and VR replace this “experience”? Is it only a generational issue or does it go deeper? ● How could we recreate the “buzz” of fashion weeks --the exclusivity, celebrity, networking i.e.

Fashion, Fashion Week and Sustainability
September 24th 2019 Fashion, Fashion Week and Sustainability At the start of Paris Fashion Week ® when French Parliament is about to debate legislation to promote low waste and circular economy, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode wishes to reaffirm its commitments. Along with the creative brands that compose it, the Federation has fully embraced all the challenges of sustainable development. In 2018, the Federation's Executive Committee decided to create a commission dedicated to this subject and has been active since January 2019. Its field of action covers both the industrial value chain and the event value chain. About the industrial value chain The creative brands that are members of the Federation have been addressing environmental and corporate social responsibility issues for several decades. The Federation and its members play their full part in the initiatives taken by the public authorities. It actively takes part in the ongoing discussions within the framework of the draft law on the fight for low waste and circular economy. In its think tank role, it has also taken bold stands on the evolution of CSR standards, labels, certifications, and the role of information technologies, as well as on the challenges of recyclability. About the event value chain For the Federation, fashion shows, presentations and Fashion Week are an essential expression of creation. Aware of its social and environmental responsibilities, it wishes to make several commitments. The Federation is thus committed by the end of 2019 to: - facilitate communication for all and encourage commitment by creating a Fashion and Sustainable Development glossary for creative brands, which will include a common definition of all terms in use, - organize a convention bringing together the main actors of Paris Fashion Week ®, in order to share this glossary and work towards a green Fashion Week.

Almatourism Special Issue N. 09, 2018: Kalbaska N., Ayala Ramírez E., Cantoni L., The Role of Tourism Destinations within the Online Presence of Fashion Weeks Almatourism Journal of Tourism, Culture and Territorial Development ___________________________________________________________ The Role of Tourism Destinations within the Online Presence of Fashion Weeks Kalbaska, N.* Ayala Ramírez, E.† Cantoni, L.‡ USI – Università della Svizzera italiana (Lugano, Switzerland) ABSTRACT Special events, if well organized, assist a tourism destination to improve its image and attract new visitors. Though there is an emerging research on the connection between tourism destinations and fashion events, little is known about how online presence of tourism destinations is framed with the help of established fashion events. The purpose of this research is to study four primary destinations holding major fashion weeks: New York and “New York Fashion Week”, London and “London Fashion Week”, Milan and “Milan Fashion Week”, Paris and “Paris Fashion Week”. This research identifies the role of tourism destinations in the online presence of the four primary “fashion weeks”. To do so, two converging analyzes are done: on one hand the websites and online presence of the fashion weeks are analyzed, assessing tourism related content; on the other hand, the websites of Destination Management Organizations at the city level are inspected with the main aim of assessing the presence and relevance they provide to fashion weeks. _________________________________________________________ Keywords: Destination Branding; Tourism Marketing; Fashion Weeks; Event Management; Website Design; Digital Fashion * E-mail address: [email protected] † E-mail address: [email protected] ‡ E-mail address: [email protected] almatourism.unibo.it – ISSN 2036-5195 – https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2036-5195/7245 87 This article is released under a Creative Commons - Attribution 3.0 license.
