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.

  • Schmatta’ Story: TV
    Kathie Lee Scandal, Deadly Fire Highlight ‘Schmatta’ Story: TV Review by Dave Shiflett Bloomberg October 19, 2009 New York’s Garment District is being buried in a cheap Chinese suit. “Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags ,” a documentary airing tonight on HBO at 9 p.m. New York time, traces the rise and fall of an industry that was once New York City’s biggest employer. Most of those jobs have now gone overseas, many of them to China. Today, the schmatta (Yiddish for “rag”) trade is very ragged indeed. The 90-minute film is fairly lively, considering it’s basically a long obit for the industry, whose fate is told in this statistic: In 1965, 95 percent of American clothing was made in the U.S. Now, only 5 percent is made here. The show begins with a look at the district’s early days as a mostly Italian and Jewish business. Lisa Nussbaum tells the story of distant cousin Sadie Nussbaum, who shared a Lower East Side apartment with 11 people. Conditions were “horrendous,” she says: no heat or running water, plus long tedious days at very low wages. Director Marc Levin illustrates the era with a still photo of children playing beside a horse lying dead in the street. This isn’t the only corpse we see. Triangle Fire Sadie was among 146 people, mostly young women, killed in the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. A photo of victims’ bodies lined up for identification is heart-rending and finds a modern counterpart near the end of the film.

It was known as the “cutout” for the openwork TWA lettering on the shoulder. With suggestions from supervisor of hostess services Ida Staggers, Greer introduced the “blou-slip,” a combined undergarment in rayon and satin that did not need constant tucking in. The triangular jacket flap could be unbuttoned to cover the TWA lettering, allowing the hostess to smoke or have a cocktail while off duty. This style of uniform was worn until 1955.

Lesser properties, however, have their backs against the wall as retailers such as Sears Holdings Corp., Best Buy, Barnes & Noble and J.C. Penney Co. Inc. close stores, and a string of other chains go bankrupt. Many mall operators are selling their underperform- ing properties. For example, Macerich sold 13 centers in the last 18 months, said Robert Perlmutter, executive vice president of leasing, adding, “They were in smaller markets and were lower-growth assets.” Basic “We’re also selling C and D malls,” said Joseph Coradino, chief executive officer of PREIT. “We sold three last year and have three for sale now and one in agreement.

  • The Myron E. Ullman, Jr. School of Design
    The Myron E. Ullman, Jr. School of Design The making of an american design school How design is taught in a particular place can be influenced by many factors, and some of them may not be immediately obvious. From local history, geography, economics and politics, to access to natural resources and industry can all have an impact on the design philosophy of a particular school in a particular city or a country. This is why one approach to teaching design may vary markedly from that in another, and both can be perfectly appropriate when used within their own contexts. This is what makes the field of design so diverse and exciting. It is also what makes the leadership of a design school so complex and demanding. Each design school faces a unique set of challenges, problems, and opportunities; but it is the combined contribution of each of these schools that helps define the field of design nationally and globally. The focus of this text is the legacy of one of the oldest university-basedGjoko design Muratovski programs in the United States, The Myron E.
