THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2014 TORONTO STAR THE FASHION WEEK SPECIAL PROFILE HAILING KAELEN The rising Canadian design star is now part of the revered CFDA Fashion Incubator BY KIMBERLY BUDZIAK Designer Kaelen Haworth could be considered an anomaly of the fashion world. After graduating from Parsons The New School for Design during the recession, Haworth was faced with a startling lack of job prospects, despite interning at Stella McCartney, Jenni Kayne and lingerie brand The Lake & Stars. So the native of Oakville, Ont., decided to launch an eponymous line instead, comprised of polished feminine pieces with a distinctly minimalist feel. She took it straight to the big leagues during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week February 2010.

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Associate Professor Susanne Reimer (University of Southampton). Abstract Brydges, T. 2017. Made in Canada. The strategies, spaces and working lives of independent designers in the Canadian fashion system. Geographica 16. 88 pp. Uppsala: Department of Social and Economic Geography, Uppsala University. ISBN 978-91-506-2644-5. Drawing on 87 interviews with independent fashion designers and key informants, this thesis is a collection of papers which aim to explore the strategies, spatial dynamics and working lives of independent fashion designers in the Canadian fashion industry. The majority of fashion design firms in Canada are small independent businesses, typically run by an individual or pair of designers, with few employees. Independent fashion designers create unique small businesses, produce high quality garments defined by the label ‘made in Canada,’ strategically mobilize physical and virtual spaces within the national system, and yet, the long-term viability of these businesses is far from certain. The Canadian fashion industry is facing a number of systemic challenges relating to wider institutional and policy weaknesses that make it difficult to grow a long-term domestic or international fashion business. However, the findings also suggest that a key strength of the Canadian fashion system is that it offers a variety of spaces for designers of different sizes, scales, and motivations.

    Architecting Intellectual Property Protection for the Fashion Industry by Ashlee Froese Gilbert’S LLP

    Fashioning Protection For Canada’s Most Fabulous: Architecting Intellectual Property Protection for the Fashion Industry By Ashlee Froese Gilbert’s LLP 1. Introduction Fashion matriarch Coco Chanel once famously stated that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I wonder if renowned shoe designer Christian Louboutin, who has been embroiled in trade-mark litigation in America and France for the last few years over his red-bottomed shoes, would agree. In the legal world, counterfeiting has long been acknowledged as a serious and costly piranha to the fashion industry. This is not the only hurdle facing the fashion designer. Less recognized yet arguably just as pervasive, fashion design piracy can be devastating to the livelihood of the fashion designer. This legal doctrine, however, has had slow traction in Canada. This paper examines the concept of fashion design piracy and provides strategies on how fashion designers can best protect their fashion designs within the confines of the Canadian intellectual property framework. 2. Canada’s Fashion Industry Canada’s roots are deeply entrenched in the fashion industry. Canada’s fur trade was the leading resource-based export for Canada during its inception, making it a foundation of the burgeoning economy. The fur trade continues to be a significant contributor to the Canadian economy.1 In fact, the Fur Institute of Canada estimates that the fur industry contributes $800 million to the Canadian 2 economy. 1 No animals were harmed during the writing of this paper. 2 Fur Institute of Canada “Canada’s Fur Trade at a Glance” http://www.fur.ca/files/fur_trade_at_a_glance.pdf 2 Perhaps more palatable to animal lovers, Canada’s fashion industry has become more well-rounded.

    FALL / WINTER 2017/2018 2017. Is It Fall and Winter?

    THE FASHION GROUP FOUNDATION PRESENTS FALL / WINTER 2017/2018 TREND OVERVIEW BY MARYLOU LUTHER N E W Y O R K • LONDON • MILAN • PARIS DOLCE & GABBANA 2017. Is it Fall and Winter? Now and Next? Or a fluid season of see it/buy it and see it/wait for it? The key word is fluid, as in… Gender Fluid. As more women lead the same business lives as men, the more the clothes for those shared needs become less sex-specific. Raf Simons of Calvin Klein and Anna Sui showed men and women in identical outfits. For the first time, significant numbers of male models shared the runways with female models. Some designers showed menswear separately from women’s wear but sequentially at the same site. Transgender Fluid. Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler hired transgender models. Transsexuals also modeled in London, Milan and Paris. On the runways, diversity is the meme of the season. Model selections are more inclusive—not only gender fluid, but also age fluid, race fluid, size fluid, religion fluid. And Location Fluid. Philipp Plein leaves Milan for New York. Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy leave New York for Paris. Tommy Hilfiger, Rebecca Minkoff and Rachel Comey leave New York for Los Angeles. Tom Ford returns to New York from London and Los Angeles. Given all this fluidity, you could say: This is Fashion’s Watershed Moment. The moment of Woman as Warrior—armed and ready for the battlefield. Woman in Control of Her Body—to reveal, as in the peekaboobs by Anthony Vaccarello for Yves Saint Laurent.

In this work we explore the task of instance segmentation with attribute localization, which unifies instance segmentation (detect and segment each object instance) and fine-grained visual attribute cat- egorization (recognize one or multiple attributes). The proposed task requires both localizing an object and describing its properties. To illus- trate the various aspects of this task, we focus on the domain of fashion and introduce Fashionpedia as a step toward mapping out the visual aspects of the fashion world. Fashionpedia consists of two parts: (1) an ontology built by fashion experts containing 27 main apparel categories, 19 apparel parts, 294 fine-grained attributes and their relationships; (2) a dataset with everyday and celebrity event fashion images annotated with segmentation masks and their associated per-mask fine-grained at- tributes, built upon the Fashionpedia ontology. In order to solve this challenging task, we propose a novel Attribute-Mask R-CNN model to jointly perform instance segmentation and localized attribute recogni- tion, and provide a novel evaluation metric for the task. Fashionpedia is available at: https://fashionpedia.github.io/home/.

The study of the American novel written by the American writer Amor Towles, born in 1964, by Amor Towles Rules of Civility and the British novels by a graduate from Yale College and M.A. in English from Julian Fellowes, Jeffrey Archer and Charles Jennings has proved that the society code is shared likewise by British and Stanford University.
