Intepreting how fashion responds to the world around it. editor’s note LiviNG IN dubai I sometimes imagine that I am cut off from the rest of the world in some strange, barely tangible way. It’s a refrain that I hear echoed amongst my friends and colleagues, who frequently refer to a mysterious ‘bubble’ in which we all purpotedly reside. But, as I look forward to what this year will bring, and think how previous years have been filled with incredible experiences and events, I have to ask myself, is that really the case? The city has changed so much in the 10 years that I have lived here, and the rate at which its stylish inhabitants and luxury boutiques keep apace with fashion capitals such as New York, London, Paris and Milan has grown incrementally closer. That was certainly the comment from some of the global brand representatives that I met at a recent press preview, where industrial decor and rails of the latest clothes from brands such as Victoria Beckham, Versace and Coach could have been a scene from any of the hippest style cities. Fashion reflects, rather than drives, the zeitgeist, and if the array of big brands putting Dubai firmly in their sights is anything to go by, the city is at the centre, not the outskirts, of what’s happening. Our stunning cover star, Sarah Jessica Parker, who I interviewed recently (see page 38) chose Dubai for the global launch of her new footwear brand, the SJP Collection. Back in May 2014, a truly spectacular carnival of high fashion descended in the form of Chanel’s global reveal for Cruise 2015, and in between we’ve had everyone from Charlotte Olympia to Matthew Williamson to Isabel Marant coming here to raise their brand’s profile among their all-important Middle Eastern customers. It all confirms my feeling that the city is an exciting place to be right now, and that not only has Dubai ‘caught up’ with the fashion calendars of Europe and America, but is carving a powerful niche for itself as a trend-forward capital in its own right. With local talent such as our own Rami Al Ali (page 86) frequently dressing Hollywood’s A-list, and with even Chanel’s boss Bruno Pavlovsky declaring Dubai a “ key hub for fashion business”, who am I to argue?

  • Museums of Contemporary Art in Preexisting Buildings: Constraints and Architecture the Case Study of Punta Della Dogana and Fondazione Prada
    MUSEUMS OF CONTEMPORARY ART IN PREEXISTING BUILDINGS: CONSTRAINTS AND ARCHITECTURE THE CASE STUDY OF PUNTA DELLA DOGANA AND FONDAZIONE PRADA Thesis Supervisors: Professor Bárbara Coutinho Professor Fulvio Lenzo Author: Beatriz Loreto Crespo de Jesus Agostinho Extended Abstract The present article regards the process of converting preexisting buildings into museums of contemporary art using two study cases: Punta della Dogana, in Venice, and Fondazione Prada, in Milan. Additionally, this investigation aims to identify the factors and the limitations that affect the development of the adjacent architectural project and to understand the architectural solutions created in each case. With these goals in mind it was necessary to contextualise, historically, the museological institution as well as the evolution of its morphology. At the same time, a detailed analysis of the two case studies took place starting by the systematisation of technical drawings, bibliographic research and numerous visits to the respective locations. The dissertation document is made up by five chapters from which the first consists of the introductory guide lines for the investigation and the last two being the reached conclusions followed by the used bibliography. On the second chapter, a brief study regarding the History and the Architecture of museums of art takes place, focusing on the period inbetween the 18th century and the 20th century. The museum, being an entity with multiple dimensions - mission, programmes, morphology, among others – needs to adapt to its surrounding circumstances in order to survive (Schubert, 2009: 11). Since the 18th century this institution has changed accordingly to the social shifts affecting society, therefore, influencing all of its dimensions and its relation with the public.

Grantz) (Do Not Delete) 12/5/2011 11:35 PM Note Fashioning a New Look in Intellectual Property: Sui Generis Protection for the Innovative Designer Linna T. Loangkote* Fashion design is weaving its way through the fabric of American society by transforming how people think about fashion apparel. The $350 billion fashion industry not only puts the clothes on our backs, but gives individuals an outlet for individual expression as well. More and more, the fashion design process is recognized as a creative process where vision, raw materials, and skill meet to produce fashion apparel that should be worthy of sui generis protection. Current intellectual property regimes fail to adequately equip designers with legal remedies to guard against design piracy, and this affects both innovation and competition. Moreover, even though the U.S is a signatory to the Berne Convention, the U.S.’s lack of a protection scheme for fashion design is out of step with other signatory members, namely the European Union, and this mismatch could invite unintended reciprocity problems for American designers abroad.

  • Company Profile
    COMPANY PROFILE JUNE 2015 INFO FILES • The Prada Group • Creativity and manufacturing • Raw materials • Logistics • Distribution • Licences and Joint Ventures • Prada Group figures June 2015 www.pradagroup.com 1 “Careful observation of and curiosity about the world, society, and culture are at the core of Prada’s creativity and modernity. This pursuit has pushed Prada beyond the physical limitations of boutiques and showrooms, provoked an interaction with different and seemingly distant worlds, and introduced a new way to create a natural, almost fashionless fashion.” Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli June 2015 www.pradagroup.com 2 THE PRADA GROUP Prada was founded in 1913 by Mario Prada, Miuccia Prada’s grandfather, in Milan. Located in the prestigious Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Prada was an exclusive, stylish store selling luggage, accessories and luxury goods, in fine materials and of sophisticated workmanship. The Milan store quickly became a firm favourite with the aristocracy and the most sophisticated members of the European elite. In 1919 Prada received the warrant of “Official Supplier of the Italian Royal Household”, and since then has been entitled to display the royal Savoy coat of arms and figure-of-eight knots alongside the company logo. Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli started working together in the late 70’s, laying the foundations of the international expansion that was to come. Patrizio Bertelli broke new ground in the luxury goods sector, introducing a new business model in which he kept direct, internal control over all processes, applying uncompromised quality criteria across the entire production cycle. Miuccia Prada’s creative talent and avant-garde approach attracted the attention of the global fashion industry, while her ability to look at the world from an unconventional vantage point allowed her not only to anticipate, but quite often, to set new trends.

PAGE 2 APPEAL EXPECTED Dolce and Gabbana Guilty in Tax Trial By LUISA ZARGANI SPRING 2014 MILAN — Guilty. That was the verdict handed down to Domenico MILAN Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, as well as four other MEN’S defendants, here Wednesday afternoon in the design- COLLECTION ers’ long-running tax evasion case. Judge Antonella THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2013 ■ WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY ■ $3.00 PREVIEW Brambilla sentenced the designers and accountant Luciano Patelli to one year and eight months in jail, WWD plus legal expenses. Dolce’s brother Alfonso, gen- eral director Cristiana Ruella and fi nance director Giuseppe Minoni were sentenced to one year and four months in jail plus legal expenses. There is little chance the designers and the other defendants will serve any jail time because the sen- tences are below the two-year minimum generally re- quired in Italy to do so. The defendants were also charged with paying the Revenue Agency a provisional fi ne of 500,000 euros, or $668,650 at current exchange. The plaintiff solicitor Gabriella Valadia at the end of May asked for a provision- al fi ne of 10 million euros, or $13 million, citing damages to the image of the Revenue Service. Valadia at the time claimed that tax evasion “shows a system that is not cred- ible and effi cacious, it hurts the credibility of the Italian fi scal system, aggravated by the fact that the individuals at the center of the trial are so famous.” The court’s fi ne is separate from one imposed by the Revenue Agency of more than 400 million euros, or $535 million at current exchange, at the end of March.
