Tightening Their Belts: UEEN Fashion Firms Cut Back To Get Lean and Mean By WWD Staff The fashion industry has suddenly gone on a serious diet. Plunging stock markets, a recession and a complete conk-out of the consumer spending engine that fueled the growth in the U.S. economy for more than a decade have fashion retailers and manufacturers taking a hard look at their organizations and cutting back wherever they can. With few signs of economic hope until at least late 2009, if not 2010, firms are moving to batten down the hatches and prepare for the worst. As a result, fashion companies are looking at every expense they can to determine whether it’s justified. Town cars? Out. First-class air travel? Out. Expensive hotels in luxe foreign lands? Out. Staff Christmas parties? In most cases, out.

Summitridge Pictures and RSJC LLC present a film by James Crump. Edited by Nick Tamburri. Visual Effects by Andre Purwo. Cinematography by Robert O’Haire. Produced by James Crump and Ronnie Sassoon. Sex Fashion & Disco is a feature documentary-based time capsule concerning Paris and New York between 1969 and 1973 and viewed through the eyes of Antonio Lopez (1943-1987), the dominant fashion illustrator of the time, and told through the lives of his colorful and some-times outrageous milieu. A native of Puerto Rico and raised in The Bronx, Antonio was a seductive arbiter of style and glamour who, beginning in the 1960s, brought elements of the urban street and ethnicity to bear on a postwar fashion world desperate for change and diversity. Counted among Antonio’s discoveries— muses of the period—were unusual beauties such as Cathee Dahmen, Grace Jones, Pat Cleveland, Tina Chow, Jessica Lange, Jerry Hall and Warhol Superstars Donna Jordan, Jane Forth and Patti D’Arbanville among others. Antonio’s inner circle in New York during this period was also comprised of his personal and creative partner, Juan Ramos (1942-1995), also Puerto Rican-born and raised in Harlem, makeup artist Corey Tippin and photographer Bill Cunningham, among others.

  • Is Terry Richardson an Artist Or a Predator? ­­ the Cut
    10/12/2015 Is Terry Richardson an Artist or a Predator? ­­ The Cut nymag.com/thecut/ June 15, 2014 8:00 p.m. Is Terry Richardson an Artist or a Predator? By Benjamin Wallace Photo: Cass Bird/New York Magazine Terry Richardson, displaced from his old photography studio on the Bowery by a high­end fitness chain, was at his new space, an unadorned floor­through loft down the street. Wood floor, tin ceiling, brick walls interrupted by white swaths of Sheetrock. Four employees sat working quietly on Macs. Pandora was tuned to Elvis Presley Radio. “It’s insane, the internet,” Richardson was saying. “Totally craziness. Like a little cancer. People can just do whatever they want, say whatever they want, be totally anonymous. It’s totally out of control.” He was sitting on a couch near the windows, wearing the get­up that has made him the most physically recognizable photographer working today: widow’s peak, friendly muttonchops, oversize black plastic glasses, Converse sneakers, jeans, untucked plaid shirt, necklace with a cross, Star of David, and Narcotics Anonymous medallion. It was late April. The day was cool, so he’d added a hoodie. All that was missing was the toothy smile and thumbs­up gesture present in most pictures of him. Four days earlier, an English model named Emma Appleton had tweeted a screenshot of what appeared to be a Facebook message from Richardson: “if I can fuck you i will book you in ny for a.shoot for Vogue.” The message was clearly an i mpersonation (Richardson does not have a personal Facebook account, and he hadn’t worked for American Vogue in four years), and another photographer might have ignored the incident.

Instructor Dan Vergano Details [email protected]; [email protected] 703/854-3791 703/366-9703 Office hours: TBD Prerequisites N/A Class This course will cover the fundamentals of writing feature science-focused articles for Description newspapers or magazines, although much of what will be taught applicable to other types of storytelling and to different media. The class format will center on talks, discussion and in-class editing focused on how to craft a good story — how to come up with ideas, how to research and report the piece, how to source an article, and how to write well. We will analyze articles from magazines and newspapers and learn what makes them work or not. We will edit each other in-class and a series of in-class quizzes/assignments will test whether class concepts are understood. I will expect you to keep a notebook where you can show me notes made towards your assignments and beat. Most of your grade will be determined by your performance on four major writing assignments. These four assignments will form the backbone of the class and will require effort, preparation and attention — you are meant to ‘learn by doing’ in these assignments, translating the class discussion into results. Get moving on them quickly;, you should enjoy being immersed in the world or you won’t enjoy journalism.

Antonio Salazar’s photograph offered a silent rebuke to Franco for his folly in cozying up to the Axis, as the Portuguese dictator had pointedly maintained a benevolently pro-Allied neutrality, the prod- uct of both pragmatic calculation and the precedent of Anglo-Portuguese amity dating back to the 14th century. As a result, the Salazar regime, although far right-wing, faced none of the postwar ostracism that dogged Francisco Franco.

  • 1 the Burqa in Vogue: Fashioning Afghanistan
    The Burqa in Vogue: Fashioning Afghanistan “I've long believed that the content of fashion does not materialize spontaneously but, in ways both mysterious and uncanny, emerges from the fabric of the times. That fabric has recently been darkly threaded by war and uncertainty.” Anna Wintour, “Signs of the Times” In the months leading up to 9/11 and in its immediate aftermath, American and British media demonized the burqa as “Afghanistan’s veil of terror,” a tool of extremists and the epitome of political and sexual repression (Shah 2001). But after the Taliban’s fall, when women failed to unveil in large numbers, there were noticeable shifts in the media’s representations of the burqa. Already extensive exposure had familiarized this sign of absolute difference, transforming it into a commodity used to sell news, films, documentaries, and magazines. In early 2006, the burqa emerged on Paris runways and in Vogue fashion spreads, photographed by the venerable doyen of fashion photography, Irving Penn, and modeled by girl-of-the-moment Gemma Ward. This article charts the burqa’s evolution from shock to chic in the pages of American Vogue, as “that which yesterday was reviled becomes today’s cultural consumer goods” (Lefebvre 1971). Incorporated into the imperial imagination, the burqa became a fetishized commodity and an exotic good. Couturiers and their commentators sensed something dark in the burqa’s cooptation by the fashion industry—a darkness superficial analyses attributed to the Taliban’s (and accordingly, Islam’s) oppressive attitudes toward gender. The designs of John Galliano for Christian Dior, Dutch couturiers Viktor & Rolf, and Japanese fashion house Jun Takahashi Undercover explore how the supposed liberation of Afghanistan obscures its own blood splashed, wounding, and disfiguring violence, a violence projected onto the material sign of the burqa.
