  • Halston, Netflix's New Series, Imagines How the Designer Created Halston
    Halston, Netflix’s new series, imagines how the designer created Halston, his spectacularly successful 1975 fragrance. Grin or groan at the screenwriter’s fiction, the truth is much more interesting. Here is the real Halston story, an excerpt from AMERICAN LEGENDS, Michael Edwards’ new book coming out in Fall 2023. Twenty years in research, it traces the evolution of American perfumery thru forty legendary fragrances. By 1972, Halston’s business was grossing nearly $30 million in retail sales. That year, he won his fourth Coty Award and was acclaimed by Women’s Wear Daily as “one of the greats”. The elegance of the new American style was never more evident than at the couture show mounted in November 1973 to raise funds for the restoration of the Palace of Versailles. Five American designers - Bill Blass, Stephen Burrows, Halston, Anne Klein and Oscar de la Renta - joined five French couturiers in presenting their collections. The French used elaborate backdrops and props. The Americans used a bare stage and ten Black models. Their spare elegance put the French to shame. In late 1973, in a move that stunned the fashion industry, Halston sold his name, his company and his design services to David Mahoney of Norton Simon for sixteen million dollars. Norton Simon Inc. was one of the conglomerates stitched together in the 1960s. It owned such diverse interests as Hunt Food, Somerset Liquor, Avis Car Rental, Hartman Luggage and McCall Patterns. “We had also just bought the Max Factor cosmetic company,” said Dan Moriarty, then assistant to chairman of the board David Mahoney.

  • NYC Fashion Giants Featured in Exhibit Curated by Two Israelis | the Times of Israel
    9/18/2019 NYC fashion giants featured in exhibit curated by two Israelis | The Times of Israel RUNWAY STORY NYC fashion giants featured in exhibit curated by two Israelis ‘New York Fashion Rediscovered’ spotlights treasure trove of photographs of designers and supermodels discovered on a New York City sidewalk By JESSICA STEINBERG Today, 3:55 pm Fashion models and their muses at 'New York Fashion Rediscovered,' a new exhibit created by two Israelis in New York City's Time Square, just in time for 2019 Fashion Week (Courtesy ZAZ10TS) It took two Israelis in New York City — one gallery owner and one curator — to put together an exhibit of historic fashion photographs that had been discovered on a city sidewalk. The exhibit, “New York Fashion Rediscovered 1982-1997,” opened September 5, at 10 Times Square, coinciding with New York Fashion Week. The exhibit brings to life a vivid period in the New York City fashion industry, when designers began creating high- end day and evening wear, as well as power dressing for women in the workforce. Fashion designers and supermodels achieved celebrity status, and the celebrated moments of the runway shows were their finales, when designers would walk down the runway, arm-in-arm with the leading supermodels of the day. Those joyous moments are what was preserved in the fashion-loving photographs of the collection. The fashion stars featured in the photographs included designers Anna Sui, Donna Karan, Liz Claiborne, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Perry Ellis, Isaac Mizrahi, Alber Elbaz, Anne Klein, Geoffrey Beene, Rebecca Moses, BCBG Max Azria, Linda Allard for Ellen Tracy, Adrienne Vittadini, and Gemma Kahng, and models Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, https://www.timesofisrael.com/nyc-fashion-giants-featured-in-historic-exhibit-curated-by-two-israelis/ 1/3 9/18/2019 NYC fashion giants featured in exhibit curated by two Israelis | The Times of Israel Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, and Kristen McMenamy.

  • Machine Learning (Ml) for Tracking the Geo-Temporality of a Trend: Documenting the Frequency of the Baseball-Trucker Hat on Social Media and the Runway
    MACHINE LEARNING (ML) FOR TRACKING THE GEO-TEMPORALITY OF A TREND: DOCUMENTING THE FREQUENCY OF THE BASEBALL-TRUCKER HAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE RUNWAY A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Rachel Rose Getman May 2019 © 2019 Rachel Rose Getman ABSTRACT This study applied fine-grained Machine Learning (ML) to document the frequency of baseball-trucker hats on social media with images populated from the Matzen et al. (2017) StreetStyle-27k Instagram dataset (2013-2016) and as produced in runway shows for the luxury market with images populated from the Vogue Runway database (2000-2018). The results show a low frequency of baseball-trucker hats on social media from 2013-2016 with little annual fluctuation. The Vogue Runway plots showed that baseball-hats appeared on the runway before 2008 with a slow but steady annual increase from 2008 through 2018 with a spike in 2016 to 2017. The trend is discussed within the context of social, cultural, and economic factors. Although ML requires refinement, its use as a tool to document and analyze increasingly complex trends is promising for scholars. The study shows one implementation of high-level concept recognition to map the geo-temporality of a fashion trend. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Rachel R. Getman holds a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Her interests lie in the intersection of arts and sciences through interdisciplinary collaboration. The diversification of her professional experience from the service industry, education, wardrobe styling, apparel production, commercial vocals, and organic agriculture influence her advocacy for holistic thinking and non-linear problem solving.

  • The Southern Association for College Student Affairs (SACSA)
    The Southern Association for College Student Affairs (SACSA) Annual Report FY: 2009 (January 1 – December 31, 2009) Submitted by: Clay E. Brown, Ph.D. President 2008-2009 Annual Conference: November 5-7, 2009 Nashville, TN 60th Anniversary 1 Introduction and Summation: It has been an honor and a blessing to serve as the President of the Southern Association for College Student Affairs for the 2009 fiscal year. The past twelve months has been a double- edged experience of simultaneously restoring and advancing the Association. Restoration was needed due to adverse conditions stemming from a national economic crisis resulting in a minimal/no-profit year during 2008, while advancement was crucial to remain visible, mend some ineffectiveness, and recruit/retain members. It was my philosophy that the needed restoration and advancement of the Association could be partially addressed by re-building internal morale that had eroded. As such, re-constructing a sense of community within SACSA was my primary objective for 2009. The primary action plan used to accomplish this goal was to demonstrate authentic, caring, and timely communication with the SACSA Executive Council that encouraged honesty, vulnerability, professionalism, respect, and integrity. My desire was for this communication style to flow from the Executive Council members to their respective Committee Chairs, and from the Committee Chairs to respective committee members. An example of this communication design was a weekly (most weeks) newsletter titled ―Friday Facts,‖ in which EC members were informed of Associational issues, decisions to be made, challenges to ―think outside the box,‖ and encourage and publicly celebrate individual efforts and competence.

  • ANNE KLEIN TAPS LIZ FRASER AS CEO by Lisa Lockwood
    ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….... ANNE KLEIN TAPS LIZ FRASER AS CEO By Lisa Lockwood MAY 1, 2015 NEW YORK- Another chapter is beginning for Anne Klein. Liz Fraser has been named chief executive officer of the company, effective immediately. Since 2012, Fraser has been president of Marc by Marc Jacobs, where she was responsible for the $500 million multicategory business and also sat on the company’s executive committee. She was with Marc Jacobs Inc., a division of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, for more than 15 years. As reported, Marc Jacobs Inc. has ceased production of the Marc by Marc Jacobs label and assimilated that collection’s product range and price points into the signature Marc Jacobs collection. Earlier, she held various posts in merchandising and sourcing, including vice president, sourcing and manufacturing, at Esprit, in San Francisco, and as vice president, sourcing, at Escada, in Hong Kong. At Anne Klein, Fraser will oversee the company’s business operations and spearhead its strategy. Anne Klein is a unit of Nine West Holdings, a portfolio company of private-equity firm Sycamore Partners. Peggy Eskenasi, executive chairman of Anne Klein, called Fraser “an experienced senior executive with global business expertise.” She said, “Given her proven track record of driving growth in the fashion industry, we believe she will be an invaluable resource as we work to return Anne Klein to its celebrated position as a leader in American women’s fashion.” In related moves, Sharon Lombardo, previously vice president of design of ready-to-wear, fashion accessories and footwear at Kate Spade, has joined the firm as creative director.

In the 1970s- through the 1990s, one-of-a-kind Art Wear blossomed in a culture that embraced global design. The influence of Asian and African ethnic costume and textile techniques is particularly evident in the aesthetic of this remarkable era.
