Megemlékezés a Legnagyobb Divatcézárról in Memory of the Greatest Fashion Caesar Megemlékezés a legnagyobb divatcézárról Karl Lagerfeld: „Én vagyok a megtestesült márka” In memory of the greatest fashion caesar Karl Lagerfeld: “I am the embodiment of brand” Karl Lagerfeld – eredetileg Karl Otto Karl Lagerfeld – originally Karl Otto Lager- Lagerfeldt –, 1933. szeptember 10-én született feldt – was born on the 10th of September, 1933 Hamburgban, svéd apja jómódú hamburgi in Hamburg.

Fashion editors, designers, and journalists from England, America and France waited anxiously to document the event.2 With such high anticipation, tickets to her show were hard to come by. Some mem- bers of the audience even sat on the floor.3 Life magazine reported, “Tickets were ripped off reserved seats, and overwhelmingly important fashion maga- zine editors were sent to sit on the stairs.”4 The first to walk out on the runway was a brunette model wearing “a plain navy suit with a box jacket and white blouse with a little bow tie.”5 This first design, and those that followed, disap- 1 Axel Madsen, Chanel: A Woman of her Own(New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1990), 287. 2 Madsen, Chanel: A Woman of her Own, 287; Edmonde Charles-Roux, Chanel: Her Life, her world-and the women behind the legend she herself created, trans.

  • Representations of the Olfactory Concept in Advertising: a Case Study
    Argumentum. Journal of the Seminar of Discursive Logic, Argumentation Theory and Rhetoric 16 (1): 80-93, 2018 Brînduşa-Mariana AMALANCEI “Vasile Alecsandri” University of Bacău (Romania) Representations of the Olfactory Concept in Advertising: A Case Study Abstract: The analysis of a perfume advertising image can be done from multiple perspectives, the endeavors to provide possible reading paths and interpretations being among the most diverse in the literature. Whether it is to meet the consumers’ psychological desires, to relate to fashion trends, or to create a rare scent, perfume advertising is a real challenge, which often needs to be answered just by juxtaposing an image and the product name. Our paper highlights the way in which the correlation between the visual and olfactory forms of perfumes is attempted, through product name, vial, characters, context and text (Julien 1997). Because in many advertisements the perfume is replacing the character, we chose as a case study an advertising image that we consider illustrating in this respect, that of the new olfactory creation of Chanel, Gabrielle, which appeared in September 2017. We have to mention that the launch of this product has been marked by the appearance of homage articles in glossy magazines, which contributes, through the information provided, to a better understanding of the message the advertisement transmits. Keywords: image, visual identity, olfactory concept, olfactory memory, brand name, perfume name, perfume bottle, advertising context 1. Fragrances ‒ Vectors of Communication Considered a privileged way of communication, perfumes are an identity mark (Vettraino-Soulard 1992, 106). We can often hear in advertisements about perfumes for strong women, perfumes that suit active women, perfumes for romantic women, etc.

  • “The Most Courageous Act Is Still to Think for Yourself. Aloud.” Coco Chanel
    COCO CHANEL – MAVERICK TO ICON “The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.” Coco Chanel Coco Chanel needs little introduction as a woman whose name has come to be synonymous with classic fashion and effortless style. During her lifetime she became the most famous female couturier in Europe and after her death was listed on the TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century. Few know the story behind the rise of the woman behind the interlocking CC emblem that represents the multibillion-dollar, privately owned luxury goods Chanel empire of today. What can we learn from this pioneering businesswoman that is relevant to this day? Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel was born 19th August 1883. Her mother was an unmarried laundry woman. Her father a nomadic street vendor. The couple had five children, including young Coco Chanel, all living in a crowded one-room lodging. When Chanel was just 12 years old, her mother died of tuberculosis. Her brothers were sent to work as farm labourers, and Chanel and her sisters were sent to the convent Aubazine which ran an orphanage in central France. It was in this frugal and austere period of her childhood that Chanel learned to sew, the skill that would make her an international fashion icon. At age 18 Chanel moved to a boarding house for Catholic girls in the town of Moulins. She sought work as a seamstress and in her free time sang in a cabaret bar frequented by cavalry officers. By the time she was 23, Coco had come to realise she would not have a serious stage career.

  • Welcome to Madrid
    Welcome to Madrid Bold and revolutionary, this designer dared to “masculinise” the female wardrobe, introducing suits or knitwear –until then exclusively used for men- to provide an escape for women from the attire of the 20th century. The legendary Coco Chanel was ahead of her time, envisioning a free and independent woman, in need, above all, of comfortable garments. Chanel’s pieces are as mythical as their creator: the rimmed tweed jacket, the beige sling-back with black toecap or the eternal perfume Chanel Nº5. Her boutiques all over the world display her tradition and legacy, including the one on calle Ortega y Gasset, where harmony and minimalism come together to create a spaciousness that grants life to the creations. The label’s spacious Madrid store is 450 m2 in size, spread over three floors, where you can find fashion, glasses, perfumes and beauty products, watches, and jewellery. Since 1983, haute couture and prêt à porter under the double C brand come from the hand of Karl Lagerfeld who, as rebellious as his predecessor, reinvents and refreshes with each collection the spirit of the former, yet immortal, “Mademoiselle Chanel”. When the designer died in 2019, Virginie Viard, Lagerfeld’s right hand for more than 30 years, took over his post.

  • THE SECTRET of for the First Time, a Couturier Revolu- Cionizes the Insular World of Perfume by Creating in 1921 Her Own Fragrance, the First of Its Kind
    THE SECTRET OF For the first time, a couturier revolu- cionizes the insular world of perfume by creating in 1921 her own fragrance, the first of its kind. Coco Chanel seeks, in her own words, “ a woman’s perfume with a woman’s scent.” Her scent should be as important as her style of dress. Coco Chanel calls upon Ernest Beaux, perfumer to the Czars. In search of inspiration, Ernest Beaux ven- tures as far as the Arctic circle, finding his muse in the exhilarating air issuing from the northern lakes under the midnight sun. The couturier encourages him to be ever more audacious, demanding still more jasmine, the most precious of essences. He composes a bouquet of over 80 scents for her. An abstract, mysterious perfume radiaing an extravagance floral richness. For the first time, No5 transforms the alchemy of scent, through Ernest Beauxe’s innovtive use of al- dehydes, synthetic components which exalt perfumes, like lemon which accentuates the taste of strawberry. Aldehydes add layers of complexity, making No5 even more mysteri- ous and impsible to decipher. No5, a code, an identification number, makes the sentimental names for the perfumes of the day seem in- stantly out of date. It receives its name because Mademoiselle chanel prefers the fifth sample Ernes Beaux presents to her. For the first time, a perfume is presented in a simple laboratory flacon. From the United States to japan, the fragrance’s fame spreads, it soon becomes the best-selling perfume in the world. No5 pioneers a new form of advertising in the world of fragrance.

  • Fashion in an Age of Technology
    MANUS X MACHINA: FASHION IN AN AGE OF TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION The traditional distinction between the haute couture and prêt-à-porter has always been between the custom-made and the ready-made. Haute couture clothes are singular models fitted to the body of a specific individual, while prêt-à-porter garments are produced in multiples for the mass market in standard sizes to fit many body types. Implicit in this difference is the assumption that the handwork techniques involved in the haute couture are superior to the mechanized methods of prêt-à-porter. Over the years, however, each discipline has regularly embraced the practices of the other. Despite the fact that this mutual exchange continues to accelerate, the dichotomy between the hand (manus) and the machine (machina) still characterizes the production processes of the haute couture and prêt-à-porter in the twenty-first century. Instead of presenting the handmade and the machine-made as oppositional, this exhibition suggests a spectrum or continuum of practice, whereby the hand and the machine are equal and mutual protagonists in solving design problems, enhancing design practices, and, ultimately, advancing the future of fashion. It prompts a rethinking of the institutions of the haute couture and prêt-à-porter, especially as the technical separations between the two grow increasingly ambiguous and the quality of designer prêt-à-porter more refined. At the same time, the exhibition questions the cultural and symbolic meanings of the hand-machine dichotomy. Typically, the hand has been identified with exclusivity and individuality as well as with elitism and the cult of personality.

    20 Established 1961 Lifestyle Fashion Thursday, February 21, 2019 Designer Karl Lagerfeld to be cremated without ceremony arl Lagerfeld will be cremated without ceremony and his ashes are likely to be scattered with those of his mother and lover, his label said yesterday. “His wish- Kes will be respected,” a spokeswoman for his Karl Lagerfeld brand told AFP a day after the leg- endary designer died at the age of 85. The “Kaiser”-who was known for his rapier wit-had long insisted that he would “rather die” than be buried. “I’ve asked to be cremated and for my ash- es to dispersed with those of my mother... and those of Choupette (his cat), if she dies before me,” he said in one of his last major interviews. Lagerfeld had previously said that his ashes would be mixed with those of his longtime lover, the French dandy Jacques de Bascher, who died of AIDS in 1989. He told de Bascher’s biographer Marie Ottavi that he had kept half of his ashes so they be together again at the end. The German- born creator had put them away “somewhere secret. One day they will be added to mine,” he told Ottavi. Lagerfeld fell for the dashing de Bascher when he was 19 and looked after him until his death at 38. This was despite de Bascher, a notoriously philandering party animal, having an affair with Lagerfeld’s great rival Yves Saint Laurent. The other half of de Bascher’s ashes was given to his family, the French daily Le Monde reported yesterday.

  • Different Types of Denim Fabric
    Different Types of Denim Fabric Contributor By Shelley Moore, eHow Contributing Writer Article Rating: (3 Ratings) • • • • Add to Favorites • • Denim clothing never goes out of style. It's attractive and durable, perfect for most casual occasions. Denim is most common as the fabric in jeans, but is also used for shirts, jackets, skirts, dresses, hats, handbags and more. Several different types of denim fabric are available depending on the function and look people are after. Cotton Serge 1. The traditional denim is 100 percent cotton serge. Additionally, denim is often blended with other fabrics. Raw Denim 2. Raw denim is dark, unwashed fabric that is stiff and very durable. It fades with wear in certain areas, creating a natural distressed look. It also fades with washing. Selvage Denim 3. The premium type of raw denim fabric is selvage denim, with tight weaving and natural edges that will not unravel. Selvage denim is more expensive than other raw denim. Stretch Denim 4. The blend closest to pure denim is called stretch denim, which usually includes 2 or 3 percent Spandex material for a bit of give in the fabric. Poly-Denim 5. Poly-denim blends look like a dressier denim, and are more lightweight, which makes them more convenient to wash and dry. They also are more resistant to wrinkling. Ramie-Denim 6. Denim is also sometimes blended with the plant fiber ramie, which reduces wrinkling and gives the fabric a softer feel.
