Man Repeller: Seeking Love Finding Overalls By Leandra Medine ! ! Not even a year out of grading from the New School in New York City with a degree in Journalism, Leandra Medine started a fashion blog that changed the way women viewed personal style and it’s sometimes uncertain effects on the masses. Now at only 26, Medine has been featured in Forbes “Top 30 under 30” as one of the world’s most influential trendsetters. She is also the author of her first book Man Repeller: Seeking Love Finding Overalls. In a collection of laugh-out-loud, awkward encounters, acclaimed blogger Leandra Medine recounts her tales of growing up in New York City through the lens of her sometimes avant guard and always “man repelling” sartorial choices. We travel with Leandra from her childhood bedroom in New York City to her small apartment in Paris, where the always-stylish fashionista comes to her own and begins to embrace her individuality. With her signature sarcasm and blunt honesty we are thrown into a messy love story that started out with a pair of tube socks on the night she lost her virginity. This hilarious story will not only make you reflect on your own personal style and it’s importance to your being, it will also have you contemplating whether or not to buy denim overalls. "Leandra wears her wit as well as she wears her denim bib overalls. But at being repellent, she is a colossal failure." --Laura Brown, Executive Editor, Harper's BAZAAR "Leandra is a sick, twisted fashion addict and guess what? There is no rehab. As this book shows, she is doomed to be stylish and groovy and hilarious for the rest of her life." --Simon Doonan, Barneys New York ambassador and author of The Asylum "Not only do I agree with how Leandra dresses, but I also agree with everything she says in these brilliant stories. She's a terrific writer." --Joan Rivers .

Thesis Topic
1 August, 2013 Utrecht University Gül Kaner 3738361 Media Studies New Media and Digital Culture Academic Master THESIS TOPIC: Consumer as an Institution in the Fashion System and the Participatory Role of New Media Technologies “Modern wo/man is internally ready to fulfill her/his self image, by purchasing products which compliment it." Ernest Dichter Gül Kaner / 3738361 / Media Studies MA 2 August, 2013 Utrecht University INTRODUCTION Fashion is a concept that is used to characterise various visual or behavioural facts, actions and situations. Because it is valiantly used to characterise too many things, the value and significance of the word unfortunately depreciates. The encyclopaedic definition says that fashion is mode of dressing that is prevalent during a particular time or in a particular place.1 On the other hand the lexical meaning of fashion in New Oxford American Dictionary defines it as a trend in manner of behaviours and doing something.2 These two definitions are correct statements and they invoke the real meaning of the fashion concept. However they are inadequate to understand it deeply. Fashion should be comprehended as a cultural phenomenon because fashion is more than a mode of dressing or doing something that relates to time and space. Fashion is a practice that provides opportunities for people to present themselves to others in social and professional environments. It aids people to actualise their identities, to practice their roles, to reproduce customs and social orders or to reconstruct them. Products of fashion such as clothing, accessories, cosmetics, technologies; ways of behaving and living- have culturally and individually constructed meanings.

Holiday Spirit Department Stores Have Long Attracted Shoppers for More Than Just Gift Buying, but a Touch of Seasonal Joy and Whimsy As Well
DAILY EDITION DECEMBER 24, 2019 Fashion. Beauty. Business. Holiday Spirit Department stores have long attracted shoppers for more than just gift buying, but a touch of seasonal joy and whimsy as well. The interior of Galeries Lafayette, seen here, offers tidings on a grand scale. Storefronts provide retailers a chance to add some fun and fantasy to their exteriors and that holiday spirit was on display across the globe. For more, see pages 6 to 10.

Business was “spotty” through most of December after a robust Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday stretch. Also, the apparel sector is generally soft, particularly outerwear due to erratic weather patterns; there are six fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, meaning shopping would be more compressed close to Christmas raising the likelihood, and the week after Christmas is important particularly for returns and gift card redemptions. Some analysts believe the shorter calendar leads to less browsing and fewer impulse and self-purchasing simply because there is less time to shop. CPG’s results are based on both store and online sales calculated from quantitative surveys conducted by the firm’s 18-researcher field team across 50 major retailers in more than 100 mall and off-mall shopping venues that CGP has tracked since 2005. Robust job and wage growth along with healthy household finances drove the increase, Johnson said. CGP’s holiday analysis tracks all Census Bureau retail categories except for autos, gasoline/ oil and restaurants. Industrial-strength promoting, weather conditions conducive to getting out and shopping, and the late Hanukkah, which began Sunday night, would have also factored into the results.

Researchers note the strength of year-ago sales as just one of several challenges faced by stores looking to move healthy amounts of apparel, footwear, computers and tablets and more algorithmic school supplies. Customer Growth Partners’ Craig Johnson com- pared consumer spending to “a car stuck between ﬁrst and second gear” in projecting a seasonal in- crease of 3.4 percent for traditional b-t-s categories, below the 4.2 percent gain registered last year. On Friday, IHS Global Insight forecast a 3.2 percent gain, below the 3.6 percent advance to $40.9 billion logged by U.S. retailers during the 2012 season and also below the 4.1 percent gain expected for total retail sales during the third quarter. Chris Christopher Jr., director of consumer mar- kets at IHS, cited improved consumer conﬁdence and improvement in the equity and home markets as pluses for the season, with higher gas prices and a late start working against it.

Parisian Fashion Bloggers and the New Culte Du Moi
UCLA Paroles gelées Title Self as oeuvre/other: Parisian fashion bloggers and the new "culte du Moi" Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2937f8ng Journal Paroles gelées, 28(1) ISSN 1094-7264 Author Suter, Hadley Publication Date 2014 DOI 10.5070/PG7281012287 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Self as œuvre/other: Parisian fashion bloggers and the new culte du Moi Hadley Suter UCLA Author’s note: This article was written in early 2010—hardly the first days of the fashion blog, but before it had become as omnipresent as it is today. And before its commercial, transactional function had been perfected by a few particular technological developments, which quickly normalized the ethos of the fashion blogger’s culte du moi into the everyday life of even the least fashion-obsessed, and which continued the dogged cultural march towards obscuring the distinction between editorial content and advertising. In other words: before Instagram and before the smart phone’s self- facing camera. “Car la Photographie, c’est l’avènement de moi-même comme autre.” Roland Barthes, La Chambre claire In his preface to Lamartine’s Méditations poétiques, Baudelaire expresses what would come to be known as the ethos of the culte du Moi of the nineteenth century Romantic French writers: “Je n’imitais plus personne, je m’exprimais moi-même pour moi-même.” Insisting at once on the originality of the author’s essence and the pure expression of his person, Baudelaire’s remark gives way to a conception of the liberated poet as he who turns inward to reflect the true nature of man through his artistic production.
