  • Charvetby Wei Koh Photography Munster Devotee
    SHIRT A STORIES:YEAR IN THE LIFE OF A CHARVETby wei koh photography munster DEVOTEE “Charvet is the greatest artist in creation!” rench shirt maker Charvet’s legend is immense, large and uncontainable. It runs like an overflowing river crossing epochs, insinuated into the greatest works of literature, — James McNeill Whistler and infused into the sartorial vocabularies of the world’s best-dressed men. At one Ftime or another, Charvet has dressed Gary Cooper, Édouard Manet, W. Somerset Maugham, John F. Kennedy, The Duke of Windsor — the list goes on. And while allegiances to tailors are asserted within national boundaries — it’s hard to imagine Prince Michael of Kent rocking that Rubinacci — the universal affection for Charvet knows no bounds. Indeed, if Gatsby had been less inclined to nouveau riche exhibitionism, he would have replaced Turnbull & Asser for the place that artist Jean Cocteau called, “where the rainbow finds ideas”. It is incredible the number of times Charvet is mentioned in the world’s great stories. Dandy aristocrat Lord Sebastian Flyte of Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited, “entered — dove- grey flannel, white crepe-de-Chine shirt, a Charvet tie”. Proust took time off romanticising Madeleines to recall in Remembrance of Things Past, “tightening from time to time the knot of my magnificent Charvet tie...” In A Man in Full, Tom Wolfe described his protagonist as assembling “the richest-looking ensemble he possessed: a navy hard-finished worsted suit with pinstripes, nipped at the waist, a tab-collared shirt with a white collar and spaced-out pale-blue stripes on the shirtfront, a solid French-blue crepe-de-Chine silk necktie from Charvet in Paris...” Founded in 1838 by Christophe Charvet in Paris’ heady Place Vendôme, Charvet was something of a revolution in retail concept.

  • Cotton Boll & Consumer Judging 2018
    Cotton Boll & Consumer Judging 2018 Buying Neckties Study Guide Buying Neckties Study Guide Most people buy at least one tie at some point in their life. Whether for a dress-up occasion, a required work uniform – such as wait staff at restaurants, or for a gift, ties are an important accessory. Ties can pull a look together, add accent and color, plus provide a visual message about the individual. With over 150 years of history, the tie really has come a long way with many designers crafting high-quality versions. Given the many varieties, it is often difficult to select that perfect tie. The following criteria should be considered when shopping for ties: FIBERS Silk, wool and polyester or blends of these are the fibers most often found in ties. Silk is the most versatile, elegant, and appropriate choice for business and dress. All polyester and silk-polyester blends which look and feel like silk are also good choices. Wool and wool blends are good choices for cold weather while cotton, linen and rayon are more suitable for wear in warm weather. Silk is the standard fiber for quality ties. It is used in many weaves and fabric types to produce ties that have an elegant appearance. Ties made from silk give a polished, but conservative look year-round in any climate. Wool is made into fabrics that are handsome, long wearing and wrinkle resistant with a rich look. Wool and wool blend ties are appropriate for cold weather wear. The fabric may be knitted or woven. Many have a casual appearance, but some can be quite dressy.

Far from being a fixed category of literary history, the contemporary is always on the move. Just as the “now” when I am writing this abstract is different from the “now” when you are reading it, the contemporary does not so much delimit history as drift across it. So what does it mean to call ourselves contemporary? In “Contemporary Drift,” I argue that “contemporary” is more than a name for novelty—it is also an untimely connection to the past. We can best grasp this paradox of contemporary life, I suggest, by reading it through the historical dynamics of genre. More drag than drift, genres stay the same even as they change over time; they are recognizable precisely to the extent to that they’re repeatable.

En este contexto, la participación creciente de los flujos comerciales mundiales de varios países en desarrollo y economías en transición, sobre la base de la teoría de la ventaja competitiva, ha sido una de las características más significativas. Esas mismas economías revelan cambios en la estructura de exportaciones: de la venta de productos no dinámicos a dinámicos; del enfoque de exportación en actividades de baja intensidad tecnológica a las actividades de mediana y alta intensidad, con la regionalización y la liberación arancelaria de las economías como telón de fondo.
