Even though modern technology allows us to communicate with anyone around the Tglobe, there still exists a human need to be in someone’s actual presence. To live is to breathe, speak, and eat with the ones we love, and traveling allows us to bridge that physical divide to discover—and reunite!—with the places and people close to our hearts. Over the development of this issue, we have reached deep into Berkeley’s fashion community. We were lucky to send senior staff writer Fiona Mehta to New York Fashion Week (page 10) where she documented her experience in the city that never sleeps. As we developed relationships with local stores, we were able to supply our ethnic-inspired closet for our Foreign Accent editorial (page 26). In regards to actual traveling, we tried to solve a range of common globe-trekking dilemmas. For your convenience, we included four mini travel guides for our favorite international cities (page 13), reviewed a local boutique dedicated entirely to the art of travel (page 20), and even tested a dry-shampoo alternative for those days when you’d rather sightsee than shower (page 19). 6 This is by far BARE’s most ambitious issue to date. Not only have we made a presence on campus, but we’ve also made a national imprint. A great amount of our success is owed to you, the reader! Blog readership has skyrocketed and we’ve had tremendous turnout at BARE-hosted events all thanks to you and your overwhelming support. I would like to acknowledge the amazing BARE staff that has made this issue a reality. Their individual talents and dedication have collectively made this magazine something we’re all proud of. Furthermore, I would like to express BARE’s immense gratitude to our advertisers: Vine Street Salon, Beauty & Attitude, Teacake Bake Shop, the San Francisco Symphony, and Berkeley Sauna. An immense thank you to Professor Stephen Etter of the Haas School of Business for his generosity in sponsoring our cover advertisement this issue for the Senior Gift Campaign; our school needs the support of its students, so please visit the site at http://seniors.berkeley.edu and give as much as you can. In addition, we were lucky to have Tootsies on College, Thousand Cranes, Serrahna, and Bill’s generously lend us garments for our editorials. Additionally, thanks to MagCloud for offering an innovative, student-friendly way to print and distribute. Also, a big thank you to the ASUC for always giving us snaps and supporting the passions of so many students. On behalf of the BARE staff, I hope you enjoy this issue. I hope it, at least temporarily, carries you away.

He produces and publishes three magazines that, though they have small print runs, have a near-religious following: the six-year-old Fanzine 137 – a compendium of everything Venegas cares about, Electric Youth (EY!) Magateen – an oversized cornucopia of adolescent boyflesh started in 2008, and the high- ly lauded Candy – the first truly queer fashion magazine on the planet, which was launched last year. His all-encompassing, erudite view of the fashion universe is the foundation for Venegas’ next big project: the fashion academy he plans to start in 2011. It will be a place where people, as he says, “who are interested in fashion learn about certain key moments from history, film and pop culture.” To get a preview of the curriculum at Professor Venegas’ School of Fashion, Suleman Anaya paid Venegas a visit at his apartment in the Madrid neighborhood of Malasaña, a wonderful space that overflows with the collected objects of his boundless curiosity.

  • Business Professional Dress Code
    Business Professional Dress Code The way you dress can play a big role in your professional career. Part of the culture of a company is the dress code of its employees. Some companies prefer a business casual approach, while other companies require a business professional dress code. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR MEN Men should wear business suits if possible; however, blazers can be worn with dress slacks or nice khaki pants. Wearing a tie is a requirement for men in a business professional dress code. Sweaters worn with a shirt and tie are an option as well. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR WOMEN Women should wear business suits or skirt-and-blouse combinations. Women adhering to the business professional dress code can wear slacks, shirts and other formal combinations. Women dressing for a business professional dress code should try to be conservative. Revealing clothing should be avoided, and body art should be covered. Jewelry should be conservative and tasteful. COLORS AND FOOTWEAR When choosing color schemes for your business professional wardrobe, it's advisable to stay conservative. Wear "power" colors such as black, navy, dark gray and earth tones. Avoid bright colors that attract attention. Men should wear dark‐colored dress shoes. Women can wear heels or flats. Women should avoid open‐toe shoes and strapless shoes that expose the heel of the foot. GOOD HYGIENE Always practice good hygiene. For men adhering to a business professional dress code, this means good grooming habits. Facial hair should be either shaved off or well groomed. Clothing should be neat and always pressed.

  • How Do I Dress Professionally
    Career Development JKM Library, 3rd floor (412) 365-1209 Phone (412) 365-1660 Fax [email protected] Professiona l Dress Guidelines Proper professional dress is essential for interviews and career fairs. Even if you would not be required to wear a suit in the position to which you are applying, it is the expected attire for job interviews and career fairs. Be sure to try on your interview outfit prior to career-related events to ensure a proper fit. Here are several tips for women and men on how to dress professionally and make a positive first impression. What to Wear for Women: Suit Long-sleeved blazer with a straight or pleated skirt or pants. Color should be neutral, such as navy blue, gray, tan, or black. Most solid-colored suits will work as long as they are not too bright. Patterns are only acceptable if they are extremely subtle. Skirt should be knee length or longer. Avoid tight pants and baggy pants. Shirt/blouse Stay away from shiny or sparkly material. Cotton or matte silks are always a good choice. A nice touch is often a collar pin or a simple necklace. A colorful scarf that compliments your outfit is acceptable, but it should not be too bright. Shoes First - no bare legs! Stockings or panty hose, usually in a skin tone or a complimenting color, are a must. The best shoes are simple pumps with no more than a one or two-inch heel. Shoes should be black or a complimentary color that works with your suit. Jewelry and Perfume Simple post earrings or hoops work best.

  • Dossier De Presse Expo Dior
    EXPOSITION DIOR musée du président Jacques Chirac 1er février – 15 avril 2010 Dior, la passion créatrice L’exposition Dior présentée au musée du président Jacques Chirac est composée d’une trentaine de robes de haute couture des années 1947 à 1951 (créées par Christian Dior) et 1997 à 2009 (créées par John Galliano). Parmi elles figurent notamment la robe Ciao Ci San (2007) de l’affiche, une robe 2008 portée par Marion Cotillard et la robe 2009 portée par Monica Bellucci au Festival de Cannes. L’exposition comprend également une douzaine de flacons et coffrets de parfum, des croquis de Christian Dior et des photos de grands photographes de mode. La scénographie de l’exposition est due à René Bouchara Design. L’exposition a été conçue par huit collaborateurs de la maison Christian Dior : Olivier Bialobos, Frédéric Bourdelier, Daphné Catroux, Gérald Chevalier, Barbara Jeauffroy-Mairet, Philippe Le Moult, Vincent Leret et Soizic Pfaff. Le musée Christian Dior à Granville a aimablement participé à l'exposition. Un catalogue produit par le musée accompagne l’exposition. Il a été réalisé par la maison Christian Dior, avec des textes de Nathalie Fraser, Vincent Leret et Soizic Pfaff. En voici quelques extraits. LE FONDATEUR Christian Dior naît le 21 janvier 1905 à Granville, en Normandie, dans une famille bourgeoise aisée qui déménage à Paris lorsqu’il a cinq ans. Ses parents imaginent pour lui une carrière de diplomate ; il abandonne donc son rêve de devenir architecte et s’inscrit à Sciences Po. Mais ce n’est qu’une parade : le jeune homme, habitué des milieux artistiques, ouvre en 1928 avec des amis une première galerie d’art contemporain, où il expose le travail de Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Maurice Utrillo, Aristide Maillol, Raoul Dufy, et de proches comme Max Jacob, Léonor Fini, Salvador Dali et Christian Bérard.

  • Council of Fashion Designers of America
    Council of Fashion Designers of America ANNUAL REPORT 2017 The mission of the Council of Fashion Designers of America is to strengthen the impact of American fashion in the global economy. 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.
