Her imprint was on everything from sweaters and blouses to cocktail dresses and work attire in a collection that had a unique concept of offering affordable contemporary clothes to a vast market of style-hungry consumers. But, in 2017, with the company declaring bankruptcy, Azria left, following her husband, Max Azria, who in 1989 founded the company that expanded into 20 brands and a retail empire of more than 550 stores. After leaving the company, Lubov Azria said she had a lot of time on her hands and spent months reexamining her career and what she wanted in life. “I just decided to find the beauty within.

    NEWSPAPER 2ND CLASS $2.99 VOLUME 75, NUMBER 19 MAY 10–16, 2019 THE VOICE OF THE INDUSTRY FOR 74 YEARS Women in Apparel Technology—How Far Have They Come? By Dorothy Crouch Associate Editor In 2018, two female researchers studied women in tech- nology and asked this question: Do technology companies alienate women in recruiting sessions? The answer was yes. After observing 84 recruitment ses- sions by technology companies on a university campus in the United States, researchers Shelley Correll, head of Stanford University’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research, and Alison Wynn, a postdoctoral researcher, found that fe- male candidates pursuing quantitative degrees in technology fields were often subjected to gender-imbalanced interviews, which left qualified women feeling discouraged. Together they published “Puncturing the Pipeline: Do Technology Companies Alienate Women in Recruiting Ses- sions?” ➥ Technology page 3 Max Azria, Founder of the BCBGMaxAzria Group, Passes Away in Houston By Deborah Belgum Executive Editor Max Azria, whose imprint on the Los Angeles fashion world is legendary, passed away on May 6 at The Univer- sity of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

    A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF ADVERTISER INFLUENCE ON EDITORIAL CONTENT IN FASHION MAGAZINES by CANDACE CAMILLE WALTON (Under the Direction of Jose F. Blanco) ABSTRACT The purpose of this exploratory research is to address and analyze the amount of influence that advertisers have over editorial content in the media, specifically men‟s and women‟s fashion magazines. The sample consisted of a total of sixteen fashion magazines, with four different magazine titles (two targeted towards women and two targeted towards men) representing two different publishers. A survey was also conducted with a member of the editorial staff of one of the publications in the sample. Descriptive statistics (percentages) and SPSS correlation tests were used to test relationships among the variables and answer the research questions. The results yielded percentages that pointed towards editorial independence from advertisers, however, significant correlation was found between advertisers and editorial content as well.

  • D-Signed for Girls: Disney Channel and Tween Fashion
    1 Blue, Morgan G. (Final Draft: June 2013) Published with images in Film, Fashion & Consumption Special Issue: TV & Fashion, Ed. Helen Warner, volume 2, number 1 (2013). D-Signed for Girls: Disney Channel and Tween Fashion During the 2010 back-to-school retail season, the Walt Disney Company introduced the first in a growing collection of fashion lines for tween girls under the umbrella label D- Signed, available at Target stores throughout the United States. The initial line was based on the costumes of lead character Sonny Munroe of Sonny with a Chance (Marmel et al. 2009–2011), played by Demi Lovato. This was not Disney’s first foray into fashion for pre-teen and teen girl markets. Previous lines include a multitude of character licensing deals throughout Disney’s history and, more recently, a line inspired by Raven-Symoné’s character Raven Baxter of That’s So Raven (Poryes et al. 2003–2007), and fashion lines promoting Disney stars Miley Cyrus of Hannah Montana (Poryes and Peterman 2006– 2011) and Selena Gomez of Wizards of Waverly Place (Greenwald et al. 2007–2012) as designers, not to mention Hilary Duff’s independently produced fashion and consumer products collection, Stuff by Hilary Duff (2004). The introduction of the D-Signed collection, however, marks an unprecedented expansion of synergistic marketing strategies for comprehensive lifestyle branding to the tween girl market in the United States. The production and exponential growth of this particular fashion collection allow girls to literally (at Target stores or at home) and virtually (via sponsored online dress-up games and social networks) try on the ‘edgy’ fashions of Sonny Munroe, among other Disney Channel characters.
