  • Victoria's Secret Fashion Show: Consumo, Mídia E Construção De
    Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: consumo, mídia e construção de subjetividades. Lara Virgínia Saraiva Palmeira UFPE/Brasil Resumo Para Charles e Lipovetsky (2004), vivemos na era do hiperconsumo na qual o consumo absorve e integra cada vez mais diferentes parcelas da vida social, guiado por uma lógica emotiva e hedonista baseada em critérios individuais. Nesse sentido, analisar o papel da mídia e dos seus meios de comunicação de massa é essencial na medida em que desempenham, enquanto construções discursivas, a atividade de provocar desejos e vontades individuais não somente no plano material, mas nas esferas do moral e do simbólico. Seguindo a proposta, este trabalho objetiva analisar como um desfile de moda, o Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show , e sua divulgação na mídia pretendem atuar na produção de novas subjetividades a partir do discurso elaborado pelos produtores do evento. As ideias acerca do produto que desejam transmitir, o ideal de mulher sexy que eles veiculam, o conceito de beleza feminina ali proposto: todos esses questionamentos fazem parte da análise em momento inicial. Dessa forma, o material analisado trata-se do documentário, elaborado pela própria produção da marca e veiculado no Brasil pelo SBT. O vídeo retrata o último desfile da marca de lingerie Victoria’s Secret ocorrido em novembro de 2011 em Nova York. Como recurso metodológico, além da análise interpretativa das falas e das imagens, a teoria sobre rituais foi utilizada por compartilhar a ideia de que o ritual permite tomar consciência das cristalizações sociais mais profundas, constituindo um domínio privilegiado de estudo antropológico. Palavras-chave: consumo, mídia, Victoria’s Secret Introdução Os estudos sobre moda, beleza e feminilidade sempre despertaram minha atenção devido a sua presença constante nos meios midiáticos e pelo potencial analítico que eles oferecem.

With the worldwide economy in turmoil, glamour lives in the run-up to Hollywood’s annual Academy Awards extravaganza on Sunday night, but brands are finding ways to save a buck: staging a cocktail party instead of a dinner, flying in fewer staffers or cutting back on or eliminating gift suites.

  • Pirelli Calendar 2010 by Terry Richardson London
    Pirelli Calendar 2010 by Terry Richardson London, 19 November 2009 – The 2010 Pirelli Calendar, now in its 37th edition, was presented to the press and to guests and collectors from around the world, at its global premiere in London. The much-awaited appointment with ‘The Cal’, a cult object for over 40 years, was held this year at Old Billingsgate, the suggestive late 19th century building on the banks of the Thames, where from 1875 to 1982 it housed the capital city’s fish market. Following China, immortalized by Patrick Demarchelier in the 2008 edition, and Botswana shot by Peter Beard a year later, 2010 is the year of Brazil and of American photographer Terry Richardson, the celebrated “enfant terrible” known for his provocative and outrageous approach. In the 30 images that scan the months of 2010, Terry Richardson depicts a return to a playful, pure Eros. Through his lens he runs after fantasies and provokes, but with a simplicity that sculpts and captures the sunniest side of femininity. He portrays a woman who is captivating because she is natural, who plays with stereotypes in order to undo them, who makes irony the only veil she covers herself with. This is a return to the natural, authentic atmospheres and images of the ‘60s and ‘70s. It is a clear homage to the Calendar’s origins, a throwback to the first editions by Robert Freeman (1964), Brian Duffy (1965) and Harry Peccinotti (1968 and 1969). Terry Richardson, like his illustrious predecessors, has chosen a simple kind of photography, without retouching, where naturalness prevails over technique and becomes the key to removing artificial excesses in vogue today to reveal the true woman underneath.

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.
