The Road Runs Out: Streetwear Adapts As Market Implodes By Julee Kaplan IT’S CRUNCH TIME. At the start of the decade, hip-hop was on fire. Record sales were booming, chart-topping artists seemed to pop up daily and the music generated a whole new fashion look. Musicians and producers like Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Beyoncé Knowles, 50 Cent and Eve were eager to extend their brands into apparel, spawning labels such as JLo by Jennifer Lopez, Rocawear, Sean John, House of Deréon, G-Unit and Fetish. The result was what seemed to be a newly formed urban women’s apparel See Streetwear’s, Page4 PHOTO BY KHEPRI STUDIO PHOTO BY WWD.COM WWDTHURSDAY Sportswear ™ FASHION A weekly update on consumer attitudes and behavior based At Miu Miu, Miuccia Prada works Eighties sexiness and color on ongoing research from Cotton Incorporated 6 combinations without falling into the nostalgia trap.

SYNOPSIS Rey Ciso was once the greatest editor the world had ever seen. Since a horrific accident left him with four wooden fingers on his right hand, he’s had to resort to cutting pulp films and trash pictures. When the lead actors from the film he’s been editing turn up murdered at the studio, Rey is fingered as the number one suspect. The bodies continue to pile up in this absurdist giallo-thriller as Rey struggles to prove his innocence and learn the sinister truth lurking behind the scenes.

  • UK FASHION LOVERS MORE INTERESTED in NATIONAL CHOCOLATE WEEK THAN LONDON FASHION WEEK Submitted By: 10 Yetis PR and Marketing Tuesday, 16 September 2008
    UK FASHION LOVERS MORE INTERESTED IN NATIONAL CHOCOLATE WEEK THAN LONDON FASHION WEEK Submitted by: 10 Yetis PR and Marketing Tuesday, 16 September 2008 London Fashion Week may have already started with a huge fanfare but a leading celebrity fashion website has discovered that its own UK users are more interested in National Chocolate Week than they are the fashion event taking place in the Capital City. A leading celebrity fashion website has discovered that females aged between 18 and 30 are more interested in the UK’s National Chocolate Week than they are in this year’s London Fashion Week. Just below 3,700 people took part in the survey for MyCelebrityFashion which asked its fashion conscious users to select which UK “Week” they were interested in the most. National Chocolate Week received 62% of the vote, National Condom Week received 17% of votes and London Fashion Week got just 11% of votes. The rest of the votes were split between the National Chip, Curry and Vegetarian Week’s. 41% of people asked said the reason they were not interested was because of the high cost of the clothes on show and 36% said that they felt the ranges being shown were not relevant to every day fashion. Most worryingly for the future of the British fashion, 22% felt that it was only an event that the ultra-rich could now attend. Speaking about the results www.MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk Head Fashionista Jill Tovey said, “Whilst we at MyCelebrityFashion have been gearing up for London Fashion Week for some time, we thought it odd that not one of our thousands of users had mentioned it or were discussing it with our fashion conscious community”.

  • Scorsese on the Boardwalk - Gangster-Tv Med Havudsigt
    Scorsese on The Boardwalk - gangster-tv med havudsigt Af EDVIN VESTERGAARD KAU & STEFFEN MOESTRUP Jimmy: ”Nucky, all I want is an opportunity.” Nucky: ”This is America, ain’t it? Who the fuck’s stopping you?!” Steve Buscemi spiller Enoch ”Nucky” Thompson, økonomichef i Atlantic City. En figur, der er stærkt inspireret af virkelighedens Enoch “Nucky” Johnson, en notorisk berygtet politiker fra selv samme badeby. Boardwalk Empire tager sin begyndelse natten til den 16. januar 1920, hvor forbuddet mod al salg, produktion og transport af alkohol bliver igangsat. I tv-serien er det dog ikke et forbud, der begrædes. Tværtimod. Forbuddet fejres såmænd ... ja, naturligvis med en omgang alkohol (fig. 1). Byens spidser, der ud over Nucky tæller borgmesteren, diverse politikere samt Nuckys bror Elias ”Eli” Thompson, der yderst belejligt er byens sherif, har også god sans for for- retning. Og forbuddet mod alkohol er god forretning – i hvert fald hvis man ikke har noget imod den mere lyssky udgave. Efterspørgslen er jo den sam- me, men tilgængeligheden mindre. Det giver en højere pris, og da de udad- til distingverede herrer ikke mangler flosset moral og gerne beskytter hinan- den, er der lagt i ovnen til nogle glade år under forbudstiden. Fig. 1.
