Signature Style in The Time of COVID19 FBS C19 Issue 4: 28.05.20 Pucci & Church’s In this, the fourth issue of our newsletter, we once again look at designers and creativity blossoming all around us. We search the world for ideas, concepts and thoughts as well as activities and initiatives. The world is now smaller, both because we ignore time differences and distances through every form of media we know, but also because we are looking inwards. If we cannot travel right now, it’s best to look around us or be creative within short distances. Looking at local not global and the small and thoughtful, as opposed to the huge and the mass produced. These are inarguable facts right now. We cannot travel and we cannot look to import huge quantities of product; we cannot rush to the shops and we cannot socialise wearing mountains of new clothes. Loosening of lockdowns and new social distancing attitudes mean shifts in how we harness our creativity. We are linking the past and practices we accepted as the usual, the normal, with the current situation. Films made earlier, visuals already filed, and stories prepared before things changed are being launched. BUT, and it’s a very big but, creativity is all around us, so much news and excitement continues. A month after our first issue we bring you creativity and people who are defining what they do by integrity, and by remaining true to their personal style. Tony Glenville Fashion Commentator ! "! Sustainability During the global pandemic caused by COVID19 the effects on the planet have been much recorded. Pollution, nature, flights, travel and the shipping of products have all been news stories. The good which lockdown has done cannot be allowed to disappear. How we continue to monitor and evaluate sustainability and ethics is vital as lockdown eases. Condé Nast In Collaboration with London College of Fashion Centre for Sustainable Fashion (CSF) Launches the Sustainable Fashion Glossary: The authoritative global resource for understanding sustainable fashion and the fashion industry’s role in the climate emergency. Developed in partnership with Centre for Sustainable Fashion (CSF) at London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London. Condé Nast announced the launch of the Sustainable Fashion Glossary [by Condé Nast] , the authoritative global resource on sustainable fashion and the fashion industry’s role in the climate emergency. The Glossary forms part of the company’s commitment to becoming a voice for change and is designed to strengthen and develop sustainability literacy by providing guidance on key sustainability terms and emerging topics. Vogue News: Condé Nast Will Be Carbon Neutral By 2030 and It’s Launching A New Sustainable Fashion Glossary: 20 MAY 2020. The owner of Vogue has unveiled the next phase of its environmental strategy, which includes a digital guide to more than 250 key sustainability terms that the fashion industry is grappling with. https://www.vogue.co.uk/news/article/conde- nast-sustainable-fashion-glossary ‘Fashion Became Frivolous and Customers Lost Respect for It’! Dries Van Noten Is Building A Leaner Industry Following COVID19’ With input from a global network of academics and Vogue Editors-in-Chief, who identified the need for stronger editorial guidelines and educational resources for coverage on sustainable fashion, the glossary will be published as a digital resource, open to all and regularly updated. The Sustainable Fashion Glossary by Condé Nast is: An easy-to-use guide divided into categories which relate to sustainability in fashion: its cultures, materials, production, buying habits and care practices. Written with over 250 terms, fully referenced for further reading. ! #! Broken down into four key themes: climate emergency; environmental impacts of fashion; social, cultural and economic impacts of fashion, and key elements of fashion and sustainability, plus 10 sub-themes that cover must-know aspects of fashion and sustainability. Regularly updated with new definitions to reflect the evolving debates about climate emergency, fashion, and societal change. o https://www.arts.ac.uk/colleges/london-college-of-fashion/stories/conde- nast-launches-the-sustainable-fashion-glossary-in-partnership-with-centre- for-sustainable-fashion Dilys Williams, Professor of Fashion Design for Sustainability and Director of the Centre for Sustainable Fashion, commented: “What we stand up in, should reflect what we stand up for. It’s time to question whether we are being well represented, as well as whether we are well presented. We can create a new era of beauty and style borne out of an understanding and intimate connection with our most precious asset; the earth, the greatest designer the world has ever known. By working with the world’s leading fashion Editors-in Chief at Vogue, we have been able to develop a vital glossary of terms, a trusted reference point, regarding fashion as a means to exemplify our interdependence with nature and each other.” The Sustainable Fashion Glossary by Condé Nast can be accessed here. 3 COVID19 and The Global Fashion Industry: From Resilience to Reinvention and What’s Next; View Points From Anna Wintour and Tom Ford. The plotting of the changes taking place right now and where they might lead is examined in the piece for Vogue Australia. The immediate impacts of Covid-19 on the Global Fashion Industry have been devastating. However, the current situation has the potential to be a pivotal moment in history that could readjust and reposition the economic, commercial and artistic fundamentals of the industry, for the better. This truly unique market situation is driving a shift in consumer values and retail behaviour, underpinned by the principles of slow fashion, and rooted in sustainability. More importantly, as the financial challenges of Covid-19 take hold, consumers will be simultaneously more discerning, more principled in their approaches and spending habits and empowered to drive this agenda–fuelling a demand-side transformation of the industry. To understand where we are now, and where we may be heading, we need to look at the two dimensions of Covid-19—the immediate impact and reactionary responses on the one hand, and the medium longer-term impacts and proactive actions, on the other. https://www.vogue.com.au/fashion/news/covid19-and-the-global-fashion-industry- from-resilience-to-reinvention-and-whats-next/news- story/4e80e37b4a5156102756692ffb5df522 There is also a great resource for sustainability through the CFDA in New York through the following link: https://cfda.com/resources/sustainability-resources https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=077-_zV5i-E 4 Anna Wintour warns that fashion will never be the same again after the COVID-19 pandemic because 'people's values will have shifted' and 'waste and excess' will no longer be tolerated. The 70-year-old Vogue Editor-in-Chief spoke with Naomi Campbell on her YouTube series No Filter With Naomi on Wednesday Anna opened up about the future of the fashion industry, saying that she believes it will never be the same again. She called out fast fashion brands and said that she believes the industry is going to have to make a serious shift towards sustainability and luxury. The magazine legend also spoke out about her time in quarantine, revealing that she has taken up running. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour insists that the fashion industry needs to 'rethink' what it stands for once the coronavirus pandemic has passed. She told supermodel Naomi Campbell during an interview on her YouTube program No Filter With Naomi that she thinks people's values 'are really going to have shifted' because of the crisis. Anna, 70, added that the amount of waste and excess in the industry will need to be reconsidered as a result of COVID-19. Speaking out: Anna Wintour has shared a warning about the future of the fashion industry while appearing on Naomi Campbell's YouTube series No Filter With Naomi on Wednesday Looking ahead: The 70-year-old Vogue editor-in-chief said that the industry will never be the same again after the COVID-19 pandemic because people's 'values will have shifted' Scaling back: Anna, pictured at Milan Fashion Week in February, insisted that the 'waste' and 'excess' that is so prevalent in the industry at the moment will no longer be tolerated 'I feel very strongly that when we come out at the other end - which we will do - that people's values are really going to have shifted,' she said. 'I think it's an opportunity for all of us to look at our industry and to look at our lives, and to rethink our values, and to really think about the waste, and the amount of money, and consumption, and excess and I obviously include myself in this - that we have all indulged in and how we really need to rethink what this industry stands for.' The fashion editor said that there will need to be 'more of an emphasis on sustainability' and 'more of an emphasis on luxury, on creativity, [and] on craft'. She added: 'We need to celebrate the art of fashion, and the design of fashion.' 5 Anna noted that the industry needs to 'slow down' and that people should 'enjoy it much more' without always be looking for the next new thing. 'There isn't any time to just look and think, and enjoy it,' she said, while discussing the Vogue x CFDA initiative, A Common Thread, which aims to raise awareness and much-needed funds for those in the fashion industry who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19. She added that, moving forward, people should expect to see a much more scaled- down version of Fashion Month, noting that it has become clear there need to be less shows and lavish events, and more focus on the actual artistry that fashion is supposed to be about.

  • Top Ten Fashion Designers

    Top Ten Fashion Designers

    Top Ten Fashion Designers In a society where we are bombarded with fashion, how on earth do we decide who the top ten designers are? Well, after quite a lot of pondering, I came up with some names that I thought were a well-rounded group of creative minds. These are the best from all over the board. So here goes. 1. VALENTINO GARAVANI. From Italy, this man knows how to make a woman look like a goddess. Having dressed many of the world's most famous leading ladies (such as Julia Roberts and Elizabeth Taylor), he has proven his talent and risen to the top as The King of Elegance. 2. TOM FORD Born in Texas this man is not only the Creative Director for Gucci, he's also the Creative Director for Yves Saint Laurent. Ford won the Best International Designer Award in 2000. 3. DONATELLA VERSACE is one of fashions most loved divas. Born in Calabria Italy, she took over her late brother Gianni Versace's design house. By following in his footsteps Donatella has become known for her sexy yet elegant designs. 4. ALEXANDER MCQUEEN is one of the worlds most innovative and outstanding designers. Known for his theatrical influence, his creations are not only beautiful but also colourful and raw. 5. BETSEY JOHNSON. Her designs are brilliant, bold and fun. They are funky and edgy, with a lifetime of flare. Straight from the American fashion capital [New York] Betsey is known for "her celebration of the exuberant". 6. RALPH LAUREN. He could possibly be the king of ready-to wear.

    Lookout By the Numbers Vogue Magazine The glossy has spawned an industry of imitators, two documentaries, a major Hollywood film and, perhaps most enduringly, a modern dance craze. Itís also gone through some serious changes over the course of its 121 years in print. In recent years, the fashion bible has traded willowy models for celebrities of all kinds, a trend that reached its apex in April when the left-leaning, Chanel-shaded Brit Anna Wintour (the magazineís seventh editor in chief) decided to put ó gasp! ó a reality star on its cover. But even with young upstarts nipping at its Manolos, the periodical that popularized tights and the L.B.D. continues to thrive under its time-tested principle.

Letter from the Editor “Letter From The Editor” serves as more than just a premise upon which to introduce the work of the author. The “Letter From The Editor”—where the author’s professor explains and examines the academic environment in which her students completed scholastically rigorous course projects, where she illuminates the highly successful outcome of her student’s rhe- torical and multimedia skills through the outcome of such projects, broad- casting Tara Kloeppel (the author of the piece to follow) as exemplary of such. The “Letter From The Editor” serves not only to promote authorial credibility (as it does successfully), but also to present an important com- ponent of the medium, a component at the heart of her student’s argument, the editorial letter present in every successful magazine. As the “Letter” begins, Greer—the author of the introduction and professor of Women in the Nineteenth Century at UMKC—jumps right into the pool of credibility and makes a “Wow” worthy splash as soon as the article begins.

B 1 Letter from the Chairwoman, Diane von Furstenberg, and the President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven Kolb In fashion, we respond to the world we live in, a point that was powerfully driven home in 2017. We were excited to see talents with broad cultural backgrounds and political ideas begin to express their experiences and beliefs through their collections. Diversity moved into the spotlight in ways we have never seen before. Designers embraced new approaches to business, from varying show formats to disruptive delivery cycles. It was also the year to make your voices heard, and CFDA listened. We engaged in civic initiatives important to our industry and partnered with Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and FWD.us. We also relaunched our CFDA Health Initiative with guidelines to help those impacted by sexual assault or other forms of abuse. There’s no going back. In 2018, CFDA is moving ahead at full speed with an increased focus on inclusivity and women in fashion, the latter through an exciting new study with Glamour magazine. We may be a reflection of the world we live in, but we also work hard to make that world a better place. Altruism, after all, never goes out of style. 3 CFDA STRENGTHENED PILLARS WITH MISSION-DRIVEN ACTIONS MEMBERSHIP Fashion Professional Fashion Civic+ Retail Partnership Week + Market Development Supply Chain Philanthropy Opportunities SUSTAINABILITY INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT SOCIAL AND EDITORIAL MARKETING AND EVENTS KEY UNCHANGED MODIFIED NEW PROVIDED INITIATIVES RELEVANT TO DESIGNERS EMERITUS AT EVERY STAGE OF CAREER DESIGNERS • Board Engagement • Philanthropy and Civic ICONIC Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • Board Engagement • Fashion Week • Philanthropy and Civic ESTABLISHED Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • NETWORK.

Coulter took a break from her busy schedule to talk to Style.com about what happens if she disagrees with a client, the stylist who continues to inspire her, and whose wardrobe she’d like to steal. —Alexis Brunswick Why did you start styling? For me, I think it goes hand in hand with design. When I first moved [to L.A.], I actually came out here with clothing designs of things I had been selling in London, and I just fell into styling. But after I graduated from Saint Martins, I did both. It’s all fashion, and the more qualified in the more areas you can be, the better. When did you feel as though you’d made it?

We summarise real time industry themes that are emerging across the planet in response to the COVID19 pandemic and its effect on fashion retailers, brands, supply chains and the wider fashion industry. Crafting A New Sustainable Glamorous Path: Kevin Germanier; an individual voice as a sustainable designer of glamour. The Paris-based designer is known for redefining sustainable fashion by using only upcycled materials creating ‘high-octane, unapologetically glamorous dresses and separates’all of which are made entirely from materials that otherwise would have been contributed to landfill. ! ! Germanier’s pieces are worn by celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Björk and K-pop sensation Sunmi, helping to promote his particular brand of sustainable luxe into the spotlight and proving there’s far more to eco-friendly fashion than organic linen. Germanier's creations have been featured in Dazed and Confused, Vogue Germany and Numero Russia, and was worn by Björk on the cover of the Guardian’s 'New Review'.
