    Lifestyle FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 2015 Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, center, celebrates at the end of the show from the Colcci Summer collection at Sao Paulo Fashion Week in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Bundchen, the Brazilian supermodel who has lit up catwalks around the world for 20 years, is retiring from the runway. — AP photos SUPERMODEL GISELE BUNDCHEN MAKES TEARY LAST CATWALK TURN here were tears, hugs, and a standing ovation as supermodel Gisele Bundchen strode the Tcatwalk one last time on her home turf in Brazil on Wednesday. Bundchen, the world’s top- earning model, made her final sashay down the runway at Sao Paulo Fashion Week (SPFW), the same event where she made her debut 20 years ago. She opened and closed the show for Brazilian label Colcci, bringing full circle a runway career that launched her to stardom. In the first row were fami- ly and friends she invited including her parents and American football star husband Tom Brady. Bundchen, 34, appeared calm and smiled. The whole show took about 20 minutes. But when a crowd of men and women models strode out in jeans and white T-shirts with her image on them, she stayed composed for a bit before bursting into tears. Bundchen hugged friends and waved to well- wishers. The Brazilian bombshell announced last month she was retiring from runway modeling, saying she wanted to spend more time with husband New England Patriots quarterback Brady, and their two children, Benjamin and Vivian. She also told Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo: “My body she’s at the height of her powers.

  • Kate Moss Or the Girl Next Door? — the Effectiveness of Cosmetics Advertising
    Journal of Advertising Research Vol. 52, No. 1, 2012 www.journalofadvertisingresearch.com Take Your Pick: Kate Moss or the Girl Next Door? — The Effectiveness of Cosmetics Advertising Michael Antioco EMLYON Business School Dirk Smeesters Rotterdam School of Management Aline Le Boedec Finaref INTRODUCTION Marketing literature is replete with evidence of the positive effects of using attractive communicators and models on opinion change, product evaluation, and brand perception and recall (Baker and Churchill, 1977; Joseph, 1982). It has been demonstrated that physically attractive communicators are more liked than plain or unattractive communicators. By extension, if a person has a positive attitude toward a communicator, she or he will evaluate that communicator’s message in positive terms (Joseph, 1982). The use of attractive communicators to increase advertising effectiveness seems to be appropriate. It appears, however, that many marketers have decided to apply this idea at its extreme. Often, models in advertising represent highly idealized images of physical attractiveness. This is especially true when considering the models’ body-mass index given increasing obesity in Western societies (Chandon and Wansink, 2007). In a March 2010 issue, the Guardian asked, “Why Are Models Still So Thin?” Some runway models presenting Riccardo Tisci, Dolce & Gabbana—and others representing Prada’s Miu Miu autumn/winter ready-to-wear collection—looked skeletal. Yet, models are a mirror for many young women and, most agree, should project an image of beauty and health rather than offer the perception of encouraging eating disorders. Moreover, it recently seems that not all marketers have agreed that such idealized images of physical attractiveness are the best way to increase advertising effectiveness.

The exhibit, “New York Fashion Rediscovered 1982-1997,” opened September 5, at 10 Times Square, coinciding with New York Fashion Week. The exhibit brings to life a vivid period in the New York City fashion industry, when designers began creating high- end day and evening wear, as well as power dressing for women in the workforce. Fashion designers and supermodels achieved celebrity status, and the celebrated moments of the runway shows were their finales, when designers would walk down the runway, arm-in-arm with the leading supermodels of the day. Those joyous moments are what was preserved in the fashion-loving photographs of the collection. The fashion stars featured in the photographs included designers Anna Sui, Donna Karan, Liz Claiborne, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Perry Ellis, Isaac Mizrahi, Alber Elbaz, Anne Klein, Geoffrey Beene, Rebecca Moses, BCBG Max Azria, Linda Allard for Ellen Tracy, Adrienne Vittadini, and Gemma Kahng, and models Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, https://www.timesofisrael.com/nyc-fashion-giants-featured-in-historic-exhibit-curated-by-two-israelis/ 1/3 9/18/2019 NYC fashion giants featured in exhibit curated by two Israelis | The Times of Israel Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, and Kristen McMenamy.

Project objectives (eg, what is the question you want to answer? What do you want to learn how to do? What do you want to find out?): When carrying out my project one of the main questions I will be looking into is, what the difference between high street brands and designer brands is. I will be looking into the background information of Vera Wang, Versace, Topshop, River Island and two different fashion magazines. One of the questions I will be looking to answer is, how designers influence high street brands using the catwalk. I will also be looking to find out how designers cope with the pressure of having to keep on top of high street brands, and how they cope with the imitations that they find in most high street stores. I will be finding out key facts about two designer brands and two high street stores. I also want to find out how magazines use celebrity endorsement to advertise fashion products, and high street stores. If it is a group project, what will your responsibilities be? I will be taking on all responsibility of my project. I will be conducting all research, primary and secondary, and I will be writing up my own findings.

  • Supermodel Bella Hadid Has Been Declared the Most Beautiful Woman in the World Following Science Research Into What Constitutes the 'Perfect Face'
    Supermodel Bella Hadid has been declared the most beautiful woman in the world following science research into what constitutes the 'perfect face'. The 23-year-old was found to be 94.35% 'accurate' to the Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi - which measure physical perfection. Her eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, chin, jaw and facial shape were measured and came closest to the ancient Greeks' idea of perfection. According to science, supermodel Bella Hadid is the most beautiful woman in the world The 23 year old topped the list compiled by Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva Singer Beyoncé, 38, was second with 92.44%, actress Amber Heard, 33, was third with 91.85% and pop star Ariana Grande, 26, was fourth with 91.81%. Kate Moss, 45, the highest rated Briton and in sixth place overall, had a reading of 91.05% - well ahead of her rival and the UK's other most successful supermodel, Cara Delevingne, 27, who was in tenth place with 89.99%. The list was compiled using the latest computerised mapping techniques by Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva, who utilises the technology in his work. Dr De Silva, who runs the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery, in London, said: 'Bella Hadid was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection. 'She had the highest overall reading for her chin which, with a score of 99.7%, is only 0.3% away from being the perfect shape. Bella also came second behind Scarlett Johansson for the positioning of her eyes.
