However, there is no breakdown of the sales figure of VOGUE CHINA by the year in the reports. There is also no evidence as to the extent to which VOGUE and/or VOGUE CHINA magazines being circulated or sold in Hong Kong prior to the Relevant Date. 13. Geithner avers that there are many articles on “Baidu” introducing the VOGUE magazine and a lot of super movie stars and top models appear on its cover.

There is, however, no evidence as to the number of searches/viewers/visitors from Hong Kong in respect of those articles and search results. There is also no evidence exhibited that any of the activities organized by the Opponent took place in Hong Kong and there is no evidence to the extent to which these activities were broadcast in Hong Kong or otherwise reached the Hong Kong public through the Internet or other media. It is also noted from the exhibits that some of the activities were held after the Relevant Date. 14.

Exhibit “DG-11” includes print-outs of samples of a variety of brands’ advertisements placed in VOGUE CHINA and some overseas edition of the VOGUE magazine. There is however, no evidence as to what extent the various editions of the VOGUE magazine have been circulated or viewed in Hong Kong prior to the Relevant Date. Geithner further avers that the Opponent also lined up with the China Merchant Bank to issue a credit card named as “VOGUE me” in Mainland China. Exhibit “DG-12” includes a copy of an article relating 2 DG’s Declaration, paras 10 to 12. 3 DG’s Declaration, paras 13 to 15. - 4 - to the launch of the card.4 There is no evidence as to whether the credit card is promoted and/or available for application in Hong Kong. 15.

There is, however, no evidence as to the extent to which the TV shows were broadcast or viewed in Hong Kong or otherwise reached the general public in Hong Kong. 16. Exhibit “DG-14” includes a print-out of the online search results from the Trade Marks Registry on the subject mark. Geithner avers that the subject application covers goods and services in Classes 9, 25 and 35, which are similar or identical to the specifications of some of the Opponent’s Marks (i.e. Registration Nos. 302468395, 302468412, 303092814AA, 303092823AA, 303375577 and 303375586). Geithner further claimed that one of the components of the subject mark “Original Vogue & Value” contains the word “Vogue”, which is the same as the Opponent’s Marks. As such, owing to the high distinctiveness and goodwill of the Opponent’s Marks, the use of the subject mark will likely cause confusion to the public. Geithner further avers that since the subject mark highlighted the concept of “Original Vogue”, coupled with the overlapping of some of the subject goods and services with those registered under the Opponent’s Marks, the subject mark is very likely to be perceived by the public as being derived from or connected with the Opponent’s Marks.6 17.

  • Vogue China, April 2018, Pp
    Guo, Avita, “Universe of Sands,” Vogue China, April 2018, pp. 288-291 This March, Gagosian opened Jennifer Guidi’s first solo exhibition in Asia. The artist, aka the “IT girl” in American art circles, will also have the world premiere of her new body of triangular-shaped canvases during the Hong Kong art season. After nearly two decades of creative experiments with paint and sand, Guidi’s art has gradually turned into an introspective spiritual journey, while the artist herself has also evolved from a quiet girl hailing from a desert city to a top-rated artist much sought after by the world’s rich and famous. With craftsman-like dedication and the grace of an urban sophisticate, Guidi has created a spiritual universe that often stares us right in the face. Being an LA artist, Jennifer Guidi is often billed as “the rising West Coast painter”, a label that has somehow stuck. But unlike other “rising artists” such as Oscar Murillo and Guan Xiao, who were born in the 80s, Jen- nifer was born in 1972 in Redondo Beach on the coast of California, and grew up in Palm Desert. The style of her works is unmistakably Californian, boasting a palette and texture informed by her personal experience – an adolescence spent moving around with her family from the East Coast to California, followed by a relocation from Manhattan Beach to Orange County before settling in the quiet city of Palm Desert. Her mother was en- amored with Van Gogh’s prints, while her father was an art and fashion aficionado working at a typical country club, whose influence led to a series of artistic encounters that sparked little Guidi’s interest in painting.

  • “Power Femininity” and Popular Women's Magazines in China
    International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 2831–2852 1932–8036/20160005 “Power Femininity” and Popular Women’s Magazines in China EVA CHEN National Chengchi University, Taiwan Western women’s glossy magazines (“glossies”) have made increasing inroads in the Chinese market and advocate a “power femininity,” which celebrates women’s assertive individualism and power as consumerist agency. While this power femininity has global neoliberal resonances, it also taps into the unique postsocialist Chinese context, where the liberation of individual desires, including the material and the sexual, is linked with a strongly felt need to undo a past socialist wrong that repressed people and deprived them of what should be an inalienable human right. This concept departs from the caregiving, self-sacrificial, and family-oriented “natural femininity” promoted in local women’s magazines in terms of aspiration, assertiveness, and a nativist-versus- international divide, yet ultimately both the Western and local women’s magazines are united by a shared stress on the need to cultivate a distinct Chineseness in the feminine ideal and to position women’s magazines as an integral part of the Chinese nationalist project of modernization and progress. Keywords: Chinese femininity, Chineseness, neoliberalism, women’s magazines Contemporary women’s magazines in China are no longer politicized Party tools of the socialist era and instead are market driven and highly popular among women from all walks of life. Since China’s 2001 accession to the World Trade

Not only did he modernize women’s closets—most importantly introducing pants as essentials—but his extraordinary eye and technique allowed every shape and size to wear his clothes. “My job is to work for women,” he said. “Not only mannequins, beautiful women, or rich women. But all women.” True, he dressed the swans, as Truman Capote called the rarefied group of glamorous socialites such as Marella Agnelli and Nan Kempner, and the stars, such as Lauren Bacall and Catherine Deneuve, but he also gave tremendous happiness to his unknown clients across the world. Whatever the occasion, there was always a sense of being able to “count on Yves.” It was small wonder that British Vogue often called him “The Saint” because in his 40-year career women felt protected and almost blessed wearing his designs.

Her spell in charge of the already renowned magazine, which had begun its life in America in 1892, lasted until only 1926. These years represent somewhat of an anomaly in the flawless history of the world's most famous fashion magazine, and study of the editions from this era reveal a Vogue that few would expect. Dorothy Todd, the most enigmatic and undocumented figure in the history of the magazine and, arguably within the sphere of popular publications in general, used Vogue as the vehicle through which to promote the innovative forms in art and literature that were emerging at the beginning of the twentieth century.

  • Understanding Fashion a Qualitative Content Analysis of the Audience Reactions to the Covers of British Vogue April 2021
    Understanding Fashion A Qualitative Content Analysis of the audience reactions to the covers of British Vogue April 2021 Piotr Talarek Media and Communication Studies – Culture, Collaborative Media, and Creative Industries One-year master 15 credits Spring/Summer 2021 Supervisor: Temi Odumosu Word count: 16 102 Abstract This thesis aims to examine different independent fashion audience reactions to the covers of UK Vogue April 2021, which featured four upcoming models of color: Mona Tougaard, Janaye Furman, Achenrin Madit, and Precious Lee. The study focuses on responses gathered from two fashion sources: The Instagram account Diet Prada, and a fashion forum called The Fashion Spot. In addition, the design has been extended by The Fashion Spot fashion crowd’s reactions to the Vogue Italia July 2008 also known as “The Black Issue”. The thesis intends to associate the main research problem with the magazine industry and digital world of fashion, media producers and advertisers, the issue of power and female models diversity on the covers of Vogue. The study employs a method of qualitative content analysis. Additionally, Stuart Hall’s encoding and decoding model has been implemented to define the message displayed on the fashion magazine covers and to examine the readers' reactions based on the collected data. The findings show that even though the UK Vogue April 2021 covers met with positive reactions and approval from independent industry voices, some concerns have appeared. While British Vogue has been praised for its decision to feature four black models on the covers, it has been mentioned that other international editions of Vogue did not decide to follow this idea.
