A ritmo de la cantante británica Amy Winehouse, sobre la pasarela hemos visto bikinis de tricot, rasos, encajes, chaquetas de punto e incluso un zapato olvidado por una modelo que había perdido el tacón durante el desfile. La ropa de baño presenta triquinis, biquinis y bañadores de una sola pieza, que tienen en común el modelo de sujetador bandeau, que estará muy presente la próxima temporada en todas las playas y piscinas. También nos volvemos a encontrar reminiscencias con cierto aire y vintage en todas las creaciones. Los diseñadores han separado claramente las colecciones de lencería y ropa de baño del resto de las prendas. La colección prêt â porter apuesta por camisas, blusas o tops de seda con referencias lenceras. Los pantalones y las faldas se presentan en diversas versiones que a su vez hace que la silueta de la mujer tenga multitud de formas sin salir del aire casual que impregna las creaciones de esta marca, a la vez que le da un toque chic. La gama de colores es muy atrevida y variada que van desde los verdes agua pasando por los rosas fresa y acabando con una paleta de mostazas sobre azules. En esta colección presentada en Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week 2011 también abundan los estampados gráficos, cuadritos y los tonos maquillaje. Con un look preppy que aires colegiales o de empollona, debido a las gafas, trenzas despeinadas y las bandoleras. Las cretonas, hojas y flores en la seda, también dan un toque romántico a las creaciones. Para los pies, baja a las modelos de las plataformas y apuesta por los zapatos de tacón con calcetines. TCN nos ha ofrecido un completo desfile que se ha completado con relojes de la marca Audermars Piguet y las joyas de Rabat y acompañada en todo momento por la música que ha elegido la conocida DJ Natalia Ferviú. TCN brand presented in Madrid his collection for next year, which already had a preview at 080 Barcelona Fashion last summer.

The swimsuit has triquinis, bikinis and one piece swimsuits, which have in common bandeau bra model, which will feature prominently in next season all beaches and pools. We also meet again with an air reminiscent of vintage and all creations. The designers have clearly separated collections of lingerie and swimwear from the rest of the garments. Prêt à porter collection commitment shirts, blouses or tops with references silk lingerie. Pants and skirts come in several versions, which in turn makes the silhouette of women has many forms without leaving the casual air that pervades the creation of this brand, while giving a chic touch. The palette is very bold and varied, ranging from green water going through the pink strawberry and finishing with a palette of blue mustard. This collection presented at Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week 2011 also abound graphic prints, squares and makeup shades.

A wise woman once said, "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right; forget about the the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." Una mujer sabia dijo una vez: "Llega un momento en su vida, cuando te alejas de todo el drama y las personas que la crean. Te rodeas de gente que te hace reír. Olvida lo malo y centrarse en el bien. Amor la gente que te trata bien, olvidarse de los que no la vida es demasiado corta para no ser "feliz Caerse es una parte de la vida, obtener una copia de seguridad está viviendo...

In Buenos Aires, Sips From All Over

FOR visitors to Argentina, missing out on Mendoza, the country’s main wine region, doesn’t mean missing out on its wines — or, for that matter, those of other Argentine regions. In the last few years, a number of wine-tasting opportunities have opened in Buenos Aires, offering samples of the best the country’s vineyards have to offer. Go to the Buenos Aires Travel Guide » At the high end is the wine tasting room at La Bourgogne (Ayacucho 2027; 54-11-4805-3857; alvearpalace.com), a restaurant in the Alvear Palace Hotel in Recoleta, where for 310 pesos a person, about $75 at 4.12 pesos to the dollar, visitors can sample three or four wines with food pairings. Explanations are detailed, and despite the hotel’s gilded setting, Alejandro Barrientos, the head sommelier, said, “My wine tastings are very informal.” For a more budget-friendly option, Thursday evening tastings at Lo de Joaquin Alberdi (Jorge Luis Borges 1772; 54-11-4832-5329; lodejoaquinalberdi.com.ar), a wine store in Palermo Soho, are 60 pesos. Visitors get four glasses of wine, accompanied by plates of ham and cheese. The store also offers private, personalized tastings at 150 pesos a person. “We can show you, for instance, how malbec is expressed across the country,” said Gaston Silva, the shop’s sommelier, “in Mendoza, in San Juan — or Torrontés, something new.” Indeed, part of the appeal of these tastings (and the challenge for their organizers) is the continual widening of the country’s wine spectrum. “Argentina is such a big country, with a range of climates,” said Martín Bruno, the sommelier at the Hotel Fierro’s Hernán Gipponi Restaurant (Soler 5862; 54-11-3220-6820; hgrestaurant.com.ar) in Palermo Hollywood. “It’s sad people only know us for malbec.” Tastings at the restaurant are 100 pesos a person, for four wines with food pairings. Locals, tourists and expats alike gather for fun and festive events at 0800-VINO (Anchorena 695; 54-11-4966-2500; 0800-vino.com), a wine delivery and tasting company in Abasto, started by Nigel Tollerman, a British native. For 50 pesos, participants get up to eight glasses of different wines. “It’s nice to find people from all over the world here,” Yasmin Khan, a Londoner who recently moved to Buenos Aires, said during a recent tasting. “It’s striking because we also tasted white wines here, not something we usually think about for Argentina.” The place also offers private tastings of high-end wines for $500, which covers groups of 2 to 12 people. Another spot to sample lesser-known local varietals is Experiencia Fin del Mundo (Honduras 5673; 54-11-4852-6661; bodegadelfindelmundo.com/Experiencia), which opened in May 2010 in Palermo Hollywood. The wine bar and restaurant is affiliated with Bodega Fin del Mundo, a winery in Neuquen Province in Patagonia. Sandra Castillo, the sommelier, explained that Patagonian varietals include cabernet franc, merlot and pinot noir, which she called “a special grape when planted in Patagonia.” Tastings, which usually include four glasses with small plates of food, are 90 to 450 pesos a person, available Monday to Friday, from 5 to 8 p.m. The newest, and perhaps most ambitious, wine-centric restaurant in Buenos Aires, is Aldo’s Vinoteca (Moreno 372; 54-11-5291-2380; aldosvinoteca.com), which opened in June at the Moreno Hotel in San Telmo, featuring a 42-page wine list. Aldo Graziani, the owner, is a former vice president of the Argentine Sommeliers Association and he has assembled a staff of nine sommeliers for his new spot, the most, he says, of any Argentine restaurant. Tastings with three to four wines paired with tapas are 80 to 100 pesos, and can be ordered at any time. More instructional tastings on Thursday evenings, led by guest experts, are 100 pesos a person. “I learn more each time,” Mr. Graziani said. “With wine, you never finish learning.” (For an even more immersive experience, see the review of Mio, at left, a new wine-themed hotel in the Recoleta neighborhood.)

Madrid se proclama icono de la moda en la "Fashion Night Out 2011"

A definition of fashion

Fashion is always changing, slightly elusive, extremely seductive.

It has the power to transform an image and make a social statement.

What is fashion anyway?

Dictionary.com's definitions:

The prevailing style or custom, as in dress or behavior: out of fashion.
Something, such as a garment, that is in the current mode: a swimsuit that is the latest fashion.
The style characteristic of the social elite: a man of fashion.
To some, fashion is an art form. To others, it is almost a religion.

But for most people it is a method of utilizing clothing, accessories and hair to show or hide something about yourself.

You can use fashion to express yourself, to serve as an extension of your personality: goth, skater, soccer mom, professional.

Or you can use fashion to disguise your true self:a conservative in vamp clothing, a vamp in conservative clothing.

Fashion statements can be made with clothes, accessories, shoes, hair, makeup, even your cellphone.

Who decides what's in?

Designers can greatly influence what direction fashion will go in.

Miuccia Prada of Prada and Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs of Marc by Marc Jacobs, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton are considered directional designers (Prada for remixing classics, Jacobs for vintage-inspired styles).

Working five or six months ahead of the season, the press attends fashion shows presenting designer collections; the media will then give editorial coverage to trends they think their readership is interested in.

Store buyers work many months in advance of the season to place orders with manufacturers for styles they think their customers will want to buy.

Celebrities and other opinion leaders (socialites and other glitterati) are usually the first to sport new looks, spurring the buying public into accepting emerging trends.

So everyone from big-name designers to celebrities may be behind influencing the direction fashion will go in.

But ultimately, it is you, the consumer, who will decide what is "in" when you choose whether or not to buy into a trend.

Where are the world's fashion centers?

New York, Paris and Milan are considered the major hubs for designers and manufacturers of fashion apparel and accessories.

London, Los Angeles, Toronto, Hong Kong, Sydney and Sao Paolo, in addition to hundreds of other smaller market areas are host to excellent designers and manufacturers.

How can I work in fashion?

Depending on what you want to do -- from designing to retailing -- there are many paths you can take to get to your destination.

Education is a vital ingredient: many universities offer excellent fashion merchandising courses.

Work experience is another necessary step to working as a professional in the fashion industry. Experience at the retail level (as a sales person in a store) is a great way to get a feel for how consumers buy, mix or reject clothing.

Many students are initially attracted to fashion because it seems like a glamorous business:to some degree it is.

But the majority of clothing and accessories that are designed, manufactured and sold have absolutely nothing to do with the glitzy shows associated with famous designers.

The majority of people working in fashion have behind-the-scenes jobs at less-than-glamorous wages. Regardless, most who work in the industry are charged by its vibrancy and creativity and get rewards other than fame and fortune (a fun job, creative outlet, etc.).

THE AMERICAN TOURIST: A TRAVELLER’S JOURNEY
FROM DEAN TO DAN TO DAWN TO DAWN
An American tourist lands in Europe and is ready to take over the Old Continent, Dsquared² style.
A full blown summer Euro trip takes the American traveller from Scandinavia to London, passing by
the sunny island of Mykonos without forgetting the magnificent Florence.
Our tourist has decided to pack wise: pieces easy to mix and layer, ready for all latitudes and
temperatures.
For his stay in Scandinavia the Dsquared² American boy has chosen to adopt a sporty look,
layering multi-coloured must-have garments to protect himself from the wind: parkas, light jackets,
knitted sweaters and hats, ankle length pants and thick socks peaking out of colourful boots.
Charmed by the crystal clear water of beautiful Mykonos beaches, our American tourist leaves
behind the Norwegian fjords and the aurora borealis. The change of scenery brings a change of
wardrobe: the Dsquared² tourist becomes sexy and summery like as he is sipping fresh cocktails to
the beat of music. An explosion of colour takes over; hot pants, bathing suits, towels, hats and flipflops
in orange, blue, fuchsia, green…
After a while the boiling heat and the sea bore the American boy who decides to leave behind the
island and to head towards Florence, the inevitable “art and culture infused” moment of the Euro
trip. Florence is mesmerizing with its marble churches, palaces, museums, amazing cuisine and
one special bridge….! Our traveller glides around the city on a red Vespa in colourful, chic and
refined tailored suits, double breasted jackets, and handmade leather sandals. Precious fabrics
such as linen and silk grant an additional touch of Italian elegance.
As the clock is ticking, the journey continues and the Dsquared² tourist is ready for his last stop:
London. Italian tailored suits are replaced by a contemporary mod style where skinny silhouettes,
studs, leather and animal prints give a rock glam touch. The predominant colours are now red
white and black, complemented by vintage sunglasses.
As the journey as come to an end, it is time to salute the Old Continent: Goodbye Europe!
The American flag peaks out, flaunting at the horizon…

Naomi Campbell per Givenchy A/I 2011-12
Naomi Campbell è nuova testimonial di Givenchy. Chi meglio di lei poteva rappresentare la nuova collezione autunno inverno 2011/12 di Riccardo Tisci per Givenchy se non la pantera nera. Di seguito una delle prime immagini della campagna realizzata da Mert Alas e Marcus Piggott. Per la campagna maschile invece è stato scelto il cattivissimo Rob Evans.

Moda uomo Parigi giugno 2011
E’ iniziata mercoledì 22 Giugno la settimana della moda uomo a Parigi e di stranezze se ne sono viste molte!
Di seguito un breve riassunto dei brand che sono scesi in passerella …
Dire qualcosa di nuovo, nell'estetica contemporanea della moda maschile è un compito piuttosto arduo; vediamo cosa ci hanno proposto i nostri stilisti.
Due le tendenze generali: c’e chi sdrammatizza e chi sceglie rigore formale.
Da una parte, Riccardo Tisci, il designer italiano a capo del brand francese Givenchy, riesce ad aggiungere un tocco nuovo alla classiche stampe da uomo, portando in passerella camicie con stampa floreali simili alle sterlizie, qualcosa di molto simile a ciò che si vede in quelle composizioni troppo artefatte di certi alberghi vecchio stile!
It 'started Wednesday, June 22 men's fashion week in Paris and they have seen many strange things!
Below is a brief summary of the brands that have gone on the catwalk ...
To say something new in contemporary men's fashion, is a rather arduous task, let's see what we have proposed our designers.
Two general trends: who plays down the innovation and those who choose the formal rigor.
On one hand, Riccardo Tisci, the Italian designer at the head of the French brand Givenchy, add a new touch to the classic prints on the catwalk with men wearing shirts with floral prints similar to Sterlizia, something very similar to what is seen in those too forced compositions of some old-style hotels!

dove arte e moda si incontrano: Balenciaga, Gagosian, Givenchy e street wear

La storia di Manhattan è indissolubilmente legata alle mode ed al costo degli affitti che negli anni hanno condizionato gli eventi ed il movimento delle persone. Il Village, per esempio, negli anni settanta attirava artisti e giovani a basso reddito, ma con il tempo ha conquistato lustro e decoro, grazie anche ad artisti come Andy Warhol che stabilì nella zona la sua Factory.

New York Stories ...

where art meets fashion: Balenciaga, Gagosian, Givenchy e street wear

The story of Manhattan is inextricably tied to fashion and to the price of rents that in the years have determined the events and the movement of people. The Village, for example, in the seventies attracted artists and young people with low incomes, but over time has gained prestige and dignity, thanks to artists such as Andy Whorol that had its Factory in the area.

EL MIEDO ES L AMOR

There is a verse which reads: "When you really want to fear is your jailer and the heart will die but you say I love you ...." I really love is synonymous with hope, positivity, energy, future, understanding ... and it is difficult to understand how we associate things as good and beneficial as being in love as opposed to feeling as FEAR.

Fear, fear is something that continually comes into our lives and we associate the concept of loss: losing a family member, job loss, losing a friend ... and of course the thought of losing that love that you're so full. When one is in love really makes the world by storm and all the problems you are looking for solutions, black is no longer negative and more positive view of color, defects move into the background because it is both the desire to learn and share with that person to move (as they say) to mountains.

Ask yourself that your partner may meet someone, fall in love with someone else, you fall out of love, unfaithful, unfaithful physically head, thinking that no longer attract enough distrust a look at someone, do not feel your love as before ... can take to get to madness. It is true that many blame these situations the other's weaknesses and insecurities ... sometimes can happen but there is nothing sadder than to feel all those things that give you the right time and in the meantime you accused of paranoia.

True love will inevitably linked to a "small" dose of fear because when you love the heart is the fear of losing everything because your world is wobbling. I also believe that a small amount of jealousy and wanting to watch what they feel is necessary is yours ... who says otherwise is lying. Confidence, without a doubt the most important pillar of a perfect union in a couple but (personally) that "pass" or are always "calm" me creates a feeling of disappointment. I prefer to continue feeling in me, and why not, my partner is also a small dose of fear. That makes me feel alive, fighter and always wanting to give the best of myself and gamble that letter which I bet it all: true love.

So, fear, although sometimes I hate you and say you do not feel, but you hide it or just do not talk about you and try not to get name, I want to thank you give me strength and why not admit that you're also part of my life but not my jailer.





Hay una copla que dice así: “Cuando de veras se quiere el miedo es tu carcelero y el corazón se te muere sino te dicen: te quiero…”. Realmente AMOR es sinónimo de ilusión, positividad, energía, futuro, comprensión… y es difícil de entender cómo podemos asociar cosas tan buenas y beneficiosas como es estar enamorado a un sentimiento tan opuesto como es el MIEDO.

El temor, el miedo, es algo que nos acompaña continuamente en nuestra vida y que asociamos al concepto de pérdida: perder a un familiar, perder el trabajo, perder a un amigo… y por supuesto pensar en perder ese amor que tanto te llena. Cuando uno esta enamorado de verdad se pone el mundo por montera y a todos los problemas le busca soluciones, lo negativo deja de ser negro y lo miras del color más positivo, los defectos pasan a un segundo plano porque es tanto el deseo de conocer y compartir con esa persona que mueve (como se suele decir) hasta montañas.

Plantearte que tu pareja pueda conocer a alguien, enamorarse de otra persona, desenamorarse de ti, ser infiel de cabeza e infiel físicamente, pensar que ya no le atraes lo suficiente, desconfiar de una mirada a alguien, no percibir su cariño como antes… puede conseguir llevarte a la locura. Es cierto que muchos achacan estas situaciones a las debilidades del otro y a sus inseguridades… en algunas ocasiónes puede pasar pero no hay nada mas triste que sentir todas esas cosas, que el tiempo te de la razón y que mientras tanto te acusen de paranoico.

El amor verdadero, inevitablemente, va unido a una “pequeña” dosis de miedo porque cuando se ama de corazón existe el miedo a perderlo todo y a que tu mundo se tambalee. También considero que una pequeña porción de celos y de querer cuidar lo que sientes que es tuyo es necesaria… quien diga lo contrario miente. La confianza, sin lugar a dudas es el pilar mas importante de una perfecta unión en una pareja pero (a título personal) que “pasen” o estén siempre “tranquilos” me crea un sentimiento de desencanto. Prefiero seguir notando en mi, y porque no, en mi pareja también una pequeña dosis de miedo. Eso me hará sentirme vivo, luchador y siempre con ganas de dar lo mejor de mi mismo y jugármela a esa carta a la que aposté todo: el amor verdadero.

Así que, miedo, aunque a veces te deteste y diga que no te siento, aunque lo oculte o simplemente no hable de ti e intente no ponerte nombre, quiero agradecerte la fuerza que me das y porque no, admitir que también eres parte de mi vida aunque no mi carcelero.

I FIGHT FOR YOU

Meeting you here, the night's alight with midnight cheer
Our dust still unsettled, I feel the plucking of our petals
I'm drawing circles don't you know, protect the seed that wants to grow
To a garden, pardon my territory

I'd fight for you
I never knew that I could feel this way
I'm right for you
This kinda love don't happen everyday

Be friendly but cautious, you're gonna have to count your losses
Easily attracted, but dangerous to get distracted
I'm drawing circles don't you know, protect the seed that wants to grow
To a garden, pardon my territory

I'd fight for you
I never knew that I could feel this way
I'm right for you
This kinda love don't happen everyday

I'd fight for you
I didn't wanna have to raise my voice
I'm right for you
You really leave me with no choice

So what do you want and what are you thinking?
Isn't it about time you stuck up for me?
But what you can't see is we're under siege
and I only fight because I believe
Not gonna share you no

I'd fight for you
I never knew that I could feel this way
I'm right for you
This kinda love don't happen everyday

I'd fight for you
I didn't wanna have to raise my voice
I'm right for you
You really leave me with no choice

Regala tu ausencia a quien no supo valorar tu presencia; recuerda que quien mucho se ausenta pronto deja de hacer falta; nadie vale lo suficiente como para dejarte colgado en recuerdos; si hubiese valido estaría creando presentes contigo; y nada ni nadie es imprescindible; ...Crea tu vida de metas y sueños con gente que te hagan sumar,no que te resten y que no te sepan valorar...♥

"Hace falta un sueño para crear un concepto de negocio que tenga éxito. Hacen falta personas para convertir los sueños en realidad".

Eterna stella cadente
Fu un bellissimo
regalo di Natale,
nel biglietto mi dicevi:
‹‹ continua a scrivere,
continua ad amare...››.

Ma i miei occhi
ormai lontani mille miglia
guardano nel cielo,
osservano confondersi i miei versi
al tuo pensiero.

E' la notte di San Lorenzo,
e continuo a scrivere
creare luci nuove:
la stella cadente eterna
che brilli di solo amore.

me tomo dos años para darme cuenta!!! cuanto tiempo estuve malgastando mi vida!!.... pero hace muxo que me siento fuerte pa dibujarme un nuevo amanecer.. exacto ya no soy el tonto que te perdonaba una y otra vez..... I'm free by Tom Ford of sitges 2011


Non so come può finire quello che succederà
Siempre puede ser jamás, todo significa a veces nada. Pasado es pasado, mañana... no sé. Hoy es un regalo, nada que temer. Oggi... oggi tu sei arrivato, me hai guardato, e allora tutto è cambiato per me

Do not ask me how many years I have ...
Ask me how many letters I sent and how many received.
If I'm still young, or if I'm old ...
what matters is whether I am a hive of dreams,
if not by the burden of the dead hope ...
Do not ask me how old I have,
but how many kisses I gave.
If the youth in me, still is a party,
if I take everything at every moment
and if I drink the cup of life drop by drop ...
So I care not how many drops are!
Do not ask me how old I have, but ...
Ask me if I had children,
if I knew educate ...
what did work ...
Ask me my friends ...
and if I could make someone happy ...
Do not ask me how old I have, but ...
ask me what books I read ...
I walked to where ...
why did ...
Ask me what stories happened to me,
wrote many poems,
I had read
many sang ...
And so, just like that, no matter how white they are in my hair,
by many wrinkles that may sail my face, I can call:
"THE YOUNG!"
And those who see me through here or there ...
not actually know my age
but will have the certainty that
I lived!

Once you browse through the pages of my web-site you will find the most important information about me, myself and I. Before you continue to enjoy it and actually have some fun i would like to tell you a secret that the eye can’t see, perhaps the heart can feel! However this is who i am:



I usually have strong political, environmental and social beliefs. But whether it is a relationship, career or cause - I am the happiest when i have "something" to believe in and nurture. I can also be objective in judgement, for I never let my emotions get in the way. Outgoing and amiable are some of my qualities which help me to deal with many different personalities at the most difficult time.



Because of my high focus on intellectual exploration I am 'mind oriented' individual, the thoughts never stop tick-ticking over. Therefore i am always thinking about the obstacles we all as individuals have to face, every day we wake up.

I happen to write my thoughts,dreams, experiences or any interesting conversations with people into a little note book (not a Diary! I am not a girl!) and at the moment when i get an idea for a story I start combining them together and create something. It doesn't matter what it is! It can be a poem, script, photography, painting or sculpture, It all comes from within.



Here i am, as any other person on this planet trying to make it happen. I know what i want and i am aware of what this society might need! And once I get a shot, i’ll make the most of it. Just let me bring something different , new to the table!

BURBERRY'S HISTORY

Burberry is a British luxury fashion house, manufacturing clothing and other apparel. Its distinctive check pattern has become one of its most widely copied trademarks. The company has branded stores and franchises around the world, and also sells through concessions in third party stores. It also runs a catalogue business and has a fragrance line. Both HM Queen Elizabeth and HRH The Prince of Wales have granted the company Royal Warrants. Today, Burberry's trademark products are its fashionable handbags and exclusive fragrances. The current Design Director is Christopher Bailey.
Early years

Burberry was founded in 1856 when 21-year-old Thomas Burberry, a former draper's apprentice, opened his own store in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. By 1870 the business had established itself by focusing on the development of outdoors attire. In 1880 Thomas Burberry invented gabardine, a hardwearing, water-resistant, yet breathable fabric, in which the yarn is waterproofed before weaving. Gabardine was patented in 1888.

In 1891 Thomas Burberry opened an emporium in the Haymarket, London, which still stands today and is the site of Burberry’s corporate headquarters. In 1904, the Burberry Equestrian Knight Logo was developed containing the Latin word "Prorsum" meaning forwards and registered as a trademark. In 1911 they also became the outfitters for Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, and Ernest Shackleton, who lead a 1914 expedition to cross Antarctica.

In 1914 Burberry was commissioned by the War Office to adapt its officer's coat, to suit the conditions of British contemporary warfare, resulting in the modern day "trench coat". After the war, the trench coat became popular with civilians. The iconic Burberry check was created in the 1920's and used as a lining in its trench coats. Over the years, it has been popularized by Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther films, and Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Burberry also specially designed aviation garments. A. E. Clouston and Mrs Betsy Kirby Green made the fastest flying time to Cape Town from London in 1937 and were sponsored by Burberry.

The Burberry Check

The trench, black, white and red pattern known as novacheck or the 'Burberry check' was first used as a lining for their trenchcoat in 1924. It wasn't until as late as 1967 that the Burberry Check, now a registered trademark, was widely used on its own for items including umbrellas, scarves and luggage.

UK image problems and revitalization

During the 1970s, the brand became popular with the British football casual cult, leading to it to being associated with chavs, hooligans and members of football firms by the 1990s. The brand became something of a national joke, particularly when actress Danniella Westbrook was photographed with her young daughter wearing matching Burberry outfits. South Wales police ran a drive against anti-social behaviour under the name Operation Burberry and Burberry admitted that "Burberry is now synonymous with Chavs and thugs."

With the entry of a New Yorker, Rose Marie Bravo, as Chief Executive Officer in 1997, it was hoped the brand would be revitalised. She brought in Kate Moss to star in an advertising campaign, along with many new designs and products. However, the company still blamed weak Christmas 2004 sales in the UK on adverse media coverage.

Closure of Treorchy factory

In September 2006 Burberry announced the closure in March 2007 of their factory in Treorchy, South Wales, moving 310 jobs to Hong Kong and mainland China. The firm states that the Treorchy plant is "not commercially viable" despite announcing a 22% increase in profits in January 2007. The extremely unpopular decision has resulted in protests by workers outside the Burberry flagship stores in London, under the banner "Keep Burberry British". The campaign, supported by local Welsh Assembly Member Leighton Andrews and Jill Evans MEP has attracted international press coverage and is supported by celebrities from the world of cinema, music and sport including: Prince Charles , Tom Jones , Sir Alex Ferguson , Ioan Gruffudd (the international face of Burberry), Emma Thompson, Rhys Ifans, Bryn Terfel, The Automatic, Tanni Grey-Thompson, Irvine Welsh, Michael Sheen, Steve Jones and William Saville. The PR disaster reached a new stage when local MP Chris Bryant made a motion on 23 January 2007 in Parliament to remove Burberry's Royal Warrant if it persists in its intention to move these jobs offshore. The debate lasted 23 minutes.

The campaign has gone global with co-ordinated protests against the closure, were held in London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Strasbourg and Las Vegas.



HOW TO SPOT A FAKE!


The Fabric

The fabric used to manufacture top-of-the-line brand name handbags is noticeably different than the material used for fakes. If there is wrong stitching or if the material is flawed in even the slightest manner, chances are it is not a name brand purse. High-fashion handbags will always have real materials, they will not use fake leather or fake animal skin and you will get the real deal 100 percent of the time.

Small Detailing

The great thing about authentic handbags is that they are unique and hours upon hours go into making each one exactly right. Designer handbags will often have extra stitching and detailing such as little diamonds, buckles or zippers which make them truly unique to any other designer. As noted above, the diamonds on name brand handbags will also be real 100 percent of the time.

Study the Celebrities

The best way to determine whether or not a handbag is a fake is by studying the real ones and the best way to do that is through celebrities. Celebrities will always have real name brand designer handbags. Most people recognize the design of Burberry purses because of Kate Moss and the hype she has created for the company. When you constantly see celebrities sporting specific types of handbags you will be more inclined in noticing the difference between real and fake ones.

Brand Name Labels

Many brand name handbag designers will put a custom label or logo on their items which indicate that they are authentic. The names sometimes appear on zippers or pockets and some companies like to put it in the same spot on every handbag to ensure their customers know it’s real.

It is important to know that you are getting what you pay for when it comes to designer handbags. If you’re instincts are telling you that the purse is a fake, chances are you’re probably right and its best to leave the bag where it lies. With the amount of money you are spending on these items, you want to make sure the bag you’re buying is authentic and worth every penny you are spending.

UK study says fake brands popular with wealthy; Burberry fakes have top appeal for rich and low-income consumers
Counterfeit goods are popular with wealthy British consumers, according to research that debunks the popular belief that fakes are purchased by low-income shoppers.

Research published on Wednesday by Davenport Lyons, a law firm that represents many household name brands, has found that people who buy counterfeit clothes, watches, shoes or jewellery are often well-off spenders who are also more likely to purchase genuine brand-name luxury items.

Simon Tracey, head of intellectual property at Davenport Lyons, in remarks on the findings, said the research proved fakes were doing even more damage to luxury brands than most in the industry had realised. "The extent of the problem is far worse than anyone thought it was here."

The results are based on a project involving over 1,000 consumers by specialist luxury brand research firm Ledbury Research. It highlights purchasing drivers and attitudes of consumers to counterfeit and look-alike goods and assesses the real impact on brands such as Burberry.
