HAND WOVEN, FEMININE & WEARABLE: Q&A WITH ECOCHIC FINALIST BELLE BENYASARN</h1>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">Hailing from Thailand, Belle was one of the finalists for the EcoChic Design Award 2015/2016. Her lineup of woven, contemporary Asian garments impressed the judges panel as her models walked the runway. With inspiration from English artist Barbara Hepworth and Japanese textile designer Reiko Sudo, Belle is well on her way to revolutionizing the fashion industry, one sustainable piece at a time. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">Read more about Belle’s experience below! </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What was your inspiration behind your collection for the EcoChic Design competition? </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"></span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">I was inspired to create a collection by “weaving” in a sustainable way. Each design was developed through experimenting on what comes out of the loom after reweaving various types of waste fabric I found in a bag factory, including nylon bag linings, leather and luxurious silk warp. I tried to make sustainable fashion appealing by mixing in contemporary Asian aesthetics. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><center style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What was your favorite part in participating in the competition?</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">The EcoChic Design Awards has allowed me to meet like-minded designers who share similar aspirations of sustainable fashion. There was a sense of passion and inspiration in the air. I also felt very proud of myself for pushing my design boundaries during the competition. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In what way do you feel that participating in EcoChic changed or inspired you as a designer? </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"></span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">For me, The EcoChic Design Award is not solely about creating sustainable fashion. The competition has changed how I approach design altogether. I take into consideration what materials and techniques I’ll be using. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What trend do you want to see make a comeback? </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"></span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">I hope slow fashion makes a comeback. Fast fashion is everywhere now but I hope people will return to and appreciate artisanal products. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Are there any designers that have inspired or had a major impact on you?</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">I take inspiration from English artist Barbara Hepworth. She creates simple and clean sculptures that portray different natural forms. Also, Reiko Sudo’s work is quite inspirational due to her showing the unlimited potential of woven textiles. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><center style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

<strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Is there something that you would like to achieve as a designer?</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">I’d like to find a balance between sustainability and aesthetics. As a designer, I want to create exciting pieces that are also wearable for the everyday consumer. I hope my designs can become a part of their everyday lives, without them feeling that sustainability requires extra effort. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Why is it important for the fashion industry to become more sustainable? </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"></span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">The fashion industry is all about aesthetics; we all love to see beautiful and exciting works of art but rarely consider the impact a product has on our planet during production and after purchasing. This also touches upon environmental and labor practices. Not only are we taking positive action for future generations, but also for ourselves in the present. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">If you can collaborate with any designer, who would it be? </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"></span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">Issey Miyake has always inspired me with his innovative textile techniques. I’d consider a design collaboration between Miyake and myself a dream project. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Describe your collection in three words.</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">Hand woven, Feminine and wearable </span></div>

ECOOLOGY FOR A BETTER WORLD: Q&A WITH ECO BRAND ECOOLOGY</h1>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">Barcelona based brand Ecoology is making strides for a greener future. They’re changing the landscape of the fashion industry by using organic materials and creating stylish pieces that’ll quench your desire to remain effortlessly chic. Dedicated to their work, this brand is everything eco conscious people can dream of. From tackling social issues to designing a new lingerie line, Ecoology is the one to watch for all your eco friendly needs. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">Learn more about Ecoology below! </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What is the inspiration behind your most recent collection?</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">It's all about feeling good in your own skin. Wearing clothes that make you feel good because they didn’t pollute the environment. People that love this planet, eco souls and smart characters are my inspiration. It's more about the lifestyle than it is about fashion. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What is your thought process like when creating new collections?</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">I always keep in mind creating my pieces with sustainable fabric. To be honest, the fabrics themselves "decide" most of the shapes in my collection. The rest comes by mixing those fabrics and colors and making wearable pieces. I want to make clothes that last in your wardrobe, clothes that won't go out of style the following year. So, it's not really about fashion, is about creating an ethical and eco way of getting dressed. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What's next for Ecoology?</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">Working on a new project, an organic lingerie collection, very excited. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Who is the Ecoology girl or guy?</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">It’s someone who likes to know who made their clothes and what materials were used. Our customers trust us and feel happy wearing ethically made clothes. No fashion victims, just conscious people. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><center style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Mostly in the way they dress on a daily basis. I also love seeing old pictures of fashion icons, that’s an amazing source of inspiration. Oh! The 60’s and 70’s are always a great source, a muse that always remains beautiful. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Why is it so important for you to make products that are eco conscious/friendly?</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">The fashion industry is very contaminating, fast fashion is like poison to the world. I think it's not necessary, all that speed, all that waste. There are overworked and underpaid factory workers, slaves basically, making five dollar t-shirts. We shouldn’t be dressing for cheap and neglect the fact that these workers are living a miserable existence. We make clothes for those who care about how things are made. For those who want to know who exactly made their clothes and still look cool wearing them. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">If you could make a collection inspired by movie, a city, or a person, what, where, or who would that be?</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">It would be nice to go back in time and dress all those hippie souls from Woodstock. Breakfast at Tiffany's would be another great choice. I feel that all fashion could be sustainable. It’s really up to us to make that decision. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Which celebrity would you want to be the model or spokesperson for your brand? </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;"></span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">I would love to see Emma Watson wearing Ecoology. </span><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><center style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

over-garment from</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">calf</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">-length to barely covering

stuffing in the chest to make it look bigger. This created the distinctive
Western outline of a tailored top worn over leggings or trousers.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">The
pace of change accelerated considerably in the following century, and women and
men's fashion, especially in the dressing and adorning of the hair, became
equally complex.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">Art historians</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">are
therefore able to use fashion with confidence and precision to date images,
often to within five years, particularly in the case of images from the 15th
century. Initially, changes in fashion led to a fragmentation across the upper
classes of Europe of what had previously been a very similar style of dressing
and the subsequent development of distinctive national styles. These national
styles remained very different until a counter-movement in the 17th to 18th
centuries imposed similar styles once again, mostly originating from</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">Ancien Régime</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">France</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Though

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">In the 16th century, national differences were at their
most pronounced. Ten 16th century portraits of</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> German </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">or</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Italian</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> gentlemen may show ten
entirely different hats.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Albrecht Dürer </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">illustrated the differences
in his actual (or composite) contrast of</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Nuremberg </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">and</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Venetian </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">fashions at the close of
the 15th century (<i>illustration, right</i>). The "Spanish style" of
the late 16th century began the move back to synchronicity among upper-class
Europeans, and after a struggle in the mid-17th century, French styles
decisively took over leadership, a process completed in the 18th century.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Though textile colors and patterns changed from year to
year,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.3333px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">the cut of a gentleman's
coat and the length of his waistcoat, or the pattern to which a lady's dress
was cut, changed more slowly. Men's fashions were largely derived from </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">military</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">models, and changes in a
European male</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Silhouette</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">were galvanized in theaters
of European war where gentleman officers had opportunities to make notes of
foreign styles such as the "Steinkirk"</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> cravat </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">or</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> necktie</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Though there had been distribution of dressed dolls from
France since the 16th century and</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Abraham Bosse </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">had produced engravings of
fashion in the 1620s, the pace of change picked up in the 1780s with increased
publication of French engravings illustrating the latest Paris styles. By 1800,
all</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Western Europeans </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">were dressing alike (or
thought they were); local variation became first a sign of provincial culture
and later a badge of the conservative peasant.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Although tailors and dressmakers were no doubt
responsible for many innovations, and the</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">textile</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">industry certainly led many
trends, the</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> history of fashion design </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">is normally understood to
date from 1858 when the English-born</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Charles Frederick
Worth </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">opened
the first true</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> <i>haute couture</i> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">house in Paris. The Haute
house was the name established by government for the fashion houses that met
the standards of industry. These fashion houses have to adhere to standards
such as keeping at least twenty employees engaged in making the clothes,
showing two collections per year at fashion shows, and presenting a certain
number of patterns to costumers.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Since then, the idea of the</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;">fashion
designer</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">as a celebrity in his or her own right has
become increasingly dominant.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">The idea of unisex dressing originated in the 1960s when
designers such as</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Pierre Cardin </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">and</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Rudi
Gernreich </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">created
garments, such as stretch jersey tunics or leggings, meant to be worn by both
males and females. The impact of unisex expands more broadly to encompass
various themes in fashion including androgyny, mass-market retail, and
conceptual clothing.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11.3333px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">The fashion trends of the
1970s, such as sheepskin jackets, flight jackets, duffel coats, and
unstructured clothing influenced men to attend social gatherings without a
tuxedo jacket and to accessorize in new ways. Some men's styles blended the
sensuality and expressiveness despite the conservative trend, the growing
gay-rights movement and an emphasis on youth allowed for a new freedom to
experiment with style, fabrics such as wool crepe, which had previously been
associated with women's attire was used by designers when creating male clothing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">The four major current</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> fashion capitals </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">are acknowledged to be</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Paris</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Milan</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> New
York City</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">,
and</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> London</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">, which are all headquarters to the greatest
fashion companies and are renowned for their major influence on global fashion.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Fashion
weeks </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">are
held in these cities, where designers exhibit their new clothing collections to
audiences. A succession of major designers such as</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Coco
Chanel </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">and</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Yves
Saint-Laurent </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">have
kept Paris as the center most watched by the rest of the world, although</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">haute couture</span></i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">is now subsidized by the
sale of</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> ready-to-wear </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">collections and</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> perfume </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">using the same</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> branding</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Modern</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Westerners </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">have a wide number of
choices available in the selection of their clothes. What a person chooses to
wear can reflect his or her</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> personality </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">or interests. When people
who have high cultural</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> status </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">start to wear new or
different clothes, a fashion trend may start. People who like or respect these
people become influenced by their personal style and begin wearing similarly
styled clothes. Fashions may vary considerably within a</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> society </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">according to</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> age</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> social
class</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">generation</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> occupation</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">, and</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> geography </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">and may also vary over
time. If an older person dresses according to the fashion young people use, he
or she may look ridiculous in the eyes of both young and older people. The
terms</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">fashionista</span></i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">and</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> <i>fashion
victim</i> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">refer
to someone who slavishly follows current fashions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">One can regard the system of sporting various fashions as
a fashion</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> language </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">incorporating various
fashion statements using a</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> grammar </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">of fashion. (Compare some
of the work of</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Roland Barthes</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">In
recent years, Asian fashion has become increasingly significant in local and
global markets. Countries such as China, Japan, India, and Pakistan have
traditionally had large textile industries, which have often been drawn upon by
Western designers, but now Asian clothing styles are also gaining influence
based on their own ideas</span></div>

The veteran pop star attended New York Fashion week with her daughter Lourdes, but the singer’s saucy outfit left her a little over-exposed.</div>

During the month, Muslims fast, abstaining from food and drink, from dawn until sunset, during which time we’ll also engage in extra acts of worship, including increased charity, prayers, and visiting the sick. Each day, Muslims break their fast at sunset with family and friends over large meals, and attend evening prayers that last late into the night. The end of Ramadan is marked by a huge celebration called Eid, where we dress up and gather for an early morning service followed by a full day of socializing, eating, and gift exchanging.<br /><br />Despite this rich and complex tradition, brands have relied mostly on limited market research which has lead them to believe that Muslim spending is concentrated in the Middle East where Muslims spend their Ramadan evenings shopping in <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/12/world/asia/ramadan-ritual-fast-daily-pray-head-to-the-mall.html" rel="nofollow" style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(79, 229, 217); text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">malls</a>.

<strong>1. The timing is off.</strong> Just as stores push "back to school" shopping well before school actually starts, or display New Year’s Eve dresses long before December 31, so, too, should Ramadan collections be available well before Ramadan. But that’s not the case: Mango’s current collection came out one week before Ramadan, while DKNY, Zara, and Tommy Hilfiger’s all came out the day Ramadan started. It makes little sense to have these collections only available when Muslims have the least time for leisurely shopping.</div>

<strong>2. It's too casual. </strong>The main apparel women are looking for during Ramadan is something formal or semi-formal to wear for all the events and Eid. Most Ramadan collections offer relaxed pieces better suited for a casual brunch than celebratory evenings. Women are looking for sophisticated dresses, elegant tops, and dramatic skirts; not striped cotton dresses and tunics.</div>

CAN NIGERIA STILL COMPETE AS AFRICA’s 3rd LARGEST TEXTILE INDUSTRY?</h1>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The global manufacturing map is changing fast, raising questions about the future of the Nigerian textile industry. On one hand, the country’s manufacturing sector faces higher costs at home, cheaper competition abroad and a global economic slowdown, compelling some textile firms to outsource and offshore lower skilled production to cheaper labor markets in Africa.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
On the other hand, more and more Private and Government firms are investing in technological innovation, oil, specialization and quality upgrades, contributing to the development of the country’s advanced manufacturing sector. But as some garment and textile industry producers move up the value chain, others are struggling with issues like long-term sustainability and worker welfare. Can Nigeria still compete as Africa’s fashion factory?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has been reviewed that the textile industry was one of the booming sub-sectors of the economy in the post-independence years. Fed by locally grown cotton and with huge demand for clothing by a fast growing population, it provided direct and indirect employment to hundreds of Nigerians for several decades.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
In the golden era of Nigeria’s textile industry between 1985 and 1991, the sector recorded an annual growth of 67 per cent and as at 1991; it employed about 25 per cent workers in the nation’s manufacturing sector.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />In that period the functional textile companies numbered around 180, employing about a million people, it accounted for over 60 per cent of the textile industry capacity in West Africa, empowering millions of households across all the geopolitical zones of Nigeria.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The story however changed in the early nineties and the sector took a massive dive into an industrial abyss. At a point during the crisis in the sector, from about 180 thriving textile companies, the number came down to almost zero, with textile giants such as United Nigerian Textile Company bowing to the pressure imposed by a hostile operating environment.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The Federal Government in 2009 set up the N100bn intervention fund for the textile industry. The Textile and Garment (CTG) Intervention Fund is managed and disbursed by the Bank of Industry (BOI). However, the fund is yet to bring the textile industry back to his former glory. According to the Coalition of Closed Unpaid Textiles Workers in Kaduna an estimated 600, 000 people are still rendered jobless in the industry.</div>

These companies began to close down one after the other. Some of the Textile firms that have closed down most recently include the International Textile Industry (ITI) with factories in Isolo and Ikorodu, both in Lagos, with 800 people losing their jobs. First Spinners Limited, Ikorodu, Lagos, with about 500 employees; Bhojr Textile Industry with about 700 people and Reliance Textile, Ikeja, Lagos, with about 500 employees have also folded.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Investigations reveal that Nigeria imports about N300bn worth of textiles and garments annually according to the National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria. Most of the textiles and garments were imported without paying the required duties and taxes. Smuggled textiles have taken over 90 per cent of the Nigerian market.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The bank of industry as at last year released another fund for upcoming textile and fashion designers. All hope may not be lost for the industry, as we pray for globalization to work its magic.</div>

A woman’s desire to think like a man can be addictive, it has caused her to love things naturally worn my men. The boyfriend shoes makes her edgy, adding a tone of sophistication to her feminine silhouette.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The boyfriend shoe is characterized by a low to almost non-existent heel, round toes and stiff detailing. These shoes can range from ankle boots and combat boots, to tods-look-alikes and oxford style shoes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The boyfriend shoe goes smoothly with the boyfriend jeans producing a very cool and stylish look.</div>

So, how to wear boyfriend shoes? The simple answer is anything. Mixing them with a dress blurs the lines between gender roles . Wearing them with skinny cut-offs has been sported on Taylor Swift and Miranda Kerr.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
When and where you can wear boyfriend shoes all depends on the fabric and color. You’re probably not going to wear gold sequined oxfords in a professional setting, and you are probably not going to wear white canvas boyfriend shoes to a club. Brown and black boyfriend shoes are good colors for your first pair, especially if you are a practical buyer and like to have items that can use all the time.</div>

West, who covers the September issue of the magazine with wife Kim Kardashian, took the small stage at the Fashion Week event at around 11 p.m., but it appeared to be nothing short of a shot at redemption.</div>

His latest "Yeezy Season 4" fashion show turned out to be utter chaos filled with falling and fainting models stuck in the heat Wednesday at Roosevelt Island where the show was staged at an abandoned smallpox hospital. Media fussed when the spectacle started nearly two hours late after they were bussed to the remote event. One writer compared it to "summer camp."</div>

"At the beginning of this performance, I tried my best not to try. I tried to listen to all of the reporters tonight, and tried my best to stop trying, but I just couldn't do it. I couldn't stop.

Over Labor Day weekend, a steady stream of hopefuls arrived at Eckhaus Latta’s basement studio in Chinatown for the chance to take an audition strut down a makeshift runway.</div>

Eckhaus Latta is an anomaly among the trendy sportswear labels that otherwise populate New York Fashion Week. Mr. Eckhaus and Ms. Latta, both 28, founded it in 2011, straight out of the Rhode Island School of Design, where neither had studied fashion (he, sculpture; she, textiles). And it maintains an air of art school (there is much talk of various “creative practices” and their “process-oriented” praxis).</div>

Their designs have been exhibited at the hipper museums of the coasts — at MoMA PS1, in New York, and the Hammer Museum, in Los Angeles — and their shows often have the flavor of an old-school “happening.” (Their last show was held at PS1, at 9:30 p.m., on a weekday night mid-fashion week, in a snowstorm.

Their runways, accordingly, are not the usual parade of indistinguishable fashion models. They draw a much wider array, more varied in height, weight, age, gender and race, than many fashion shows. Those who know will spot familiar faces. Didn’t I see you at the last Gavin Brown opening?</div>

“It has always been a mixture of friends, people in our community, our vicinity,” Mr. Eckhaus said. “And industry models as well. Sometimes friends become models. And the models become friends.”</div>

In recent seasons, they have included, inexhaustively: the musician Dev Hynes; the artist and D.J.

“It’s certainly not based on my looks or my figure,” Ms. Donahue, a friend of the designers who runs a namesake <a href="http://www.bridgetdonahue.nyc/" style="color: #326891;">gallery</a> on the Bowery, said with wry self-deprecation. “It’s more about that social connective tissue.”</div>

For her, the experience wasn’t particularly nerve-racking, as she knew many of the other models-to-be. And having no aspirations to model herself, she said, “your vanity melts away.” So, invited to participate, she did.</div>

Eckhaus Latta may not be minting divas, but some of its early avatars have gone on to bigger careers. The personality-driven approach to casting, with a mix of professional and nonprofessional models, is becoming more widely adopted, including by brands much larger than Eckhaus Latta.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="254" data-total-count="3065" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 75px; max-width: none; width: 570px;">
While Mr. Eckhaus and Ms. Latta did not invent the practice, they were pulling in friends and nonprofessionals, and mixing men and women on the runway, long before European luxury brands like Gucci and Balenciaga found it prudent or provocative to do so.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="301" data-total-count="3366" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 1.625rem; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 75px; max-width: none; width: 570px;">
In fact, one Eckhaus Latta acolyte, Hari Nef — the transgender model and actress who began as the label’s casting director, segued into being its model and is now an actress — has become a favorite of Gucci. “Now she’s too big for us,” Ms. Latta said. (She clarified that she was kidding.)</div>

For this season’s show, to be held at Seward Park on the Lower East Side, Mr. Eckhaus and Ms. Latta said some friends would be back, but so would some professional models, and some newbies sourced via an open call on Instagram. Ms. Chandler, a co-founder of the new casting and management agency <a href="https://www.instagram.com/midlandagency" style="color: #326891;">Midland</a>, had been brought on to assist. “Everyone wants this now,” Ms. Chandler said.</div>

“I can’t imagine doing a show that’s just not-models, and I can’t imagine doing a show that’s just models,” Ms. Latta said.</div>

So far that day, the casting had turned up three muscular brothers (tall, taller and tallest) and a Japanese-Dutch puppeteer who arrived with her puppet.</div>

Hair Style Inspiration for Crochet Braids: How to Pick Your Style</h1>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The concept behind crochet braids is usually pretty simple. Braiding or weaving long segments of hair can take a lot of time, particularly for thick hair.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
The look of multiple tiny<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crochet_braids" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c44c4c; text-decoration: none;"> braids</a> is often really desirable, though; among other things, the style can reduce frizz and lead to a very polished and tidy look with basically no effort, at least not on a day-to-day basis.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Looks and Styles of Crochet braids</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
People with shorter hair may also want to experiment with longer locks, whether semi-permanently or for a special event. These sorts of extensions allow for maximum flexibility, since they’re far easier to attach then more permanent options. In most cases they are inexpensive, too.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
There are two main effects women commonly use these braids to achieve. Color is one; many braids are designed to match a person’s natural hair color, but choosing something in a complementary shade or mixing and matching can be an easy way to give the appearance of highlights or other more intensive color treatments.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Unnatural colors like pink and green can sometimes also be incorporated. The look in these cases is akin to a dye job, but with far less permanency.</div>

<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">BEIJING, China —</b> Lisa Yan is the new face of the Chinese luxury consumer: female and fashion-forward.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The 26-year-old finance saleswoman checks social media daily to see what celebrities or friends are wearing. She wears Burberry coats, alternates between a light blue Valentino bag and a black Dolce & Gabbana one for work, and reads magazines such as Vogue before trying to replicate the newest styles.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
While women have long dominated luxury shopping globally, they’re just now catching up with men in China, who historically had greater purchasing power and accounted for most business- related gift giving. Companies from Chanel to LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton SA are stepping up to meet demand from the country’s new breed of female “fashion addicts,” dedicating more floor space to women’s wear amid a crackdown on expensive gifts such as watches.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Its a rebalancing of the consumption between females and men,” said Mario Ortelli, a senior analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein in London. “Women are becoming more independent, becoming richer, and so are buying for themselves.”</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Men accounted for 90 percent of China’s high-end purchases in 1995, according to industry consultant Bain & Co. Women now make up about half, Bain said in a report last month. That still trails the global average in mature markets, where female consumers account for about two-thirds.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Bain estimated China’s domestic luxury market to be worth 116 billion yuan ($19 billion) last year.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Fashion Addicts’</strong></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Luxury buying by Chinese women is driven by jobs and peer pressure,” said Yan, whose collection also includes bags from Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent Paris. “These are items we’ve eyed in the past and now are able to afford. We also see friends around us carrying these things.”</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A growing group of “fashion addicts” in China will continue to fuel the trend toward women’s high-end apparel, according to Bain’s report. These are Chinese consumers — mostly female, middle-income professionals in larger cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou, who shop for personal use and are knowledgeable about fashion as well as luxury.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“The fashion addicts are well informed and looking to stand out from the crowd,” Bruno Lannes, Bain’s Shanghai-based partner, said in an interview. “They are a lot more into fashion than accessories, bags or watches.”</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Getting China right is a high-stakes play for the luxury companies. After outpacing growth in the rest of the world for years, spending on the mainland — which excludes Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan — grew at the slowest pace last year since at least 2000, according to Bain, after President Xi Jinping started a campaign to rein in lavish spending. Chinese people are also increasingly shopping abroad, where prices are lower.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘New Era’</strong></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Spending on expensive menswear and watches both fell in China last year, data from Bain shows. Meanwhile, demand for women’s wear, cosmetics and perfume increased 10 percent, making them the fastest-growing categories in China’s luxury-goods industry. In contrast, apparel sales are declining as a percentage of global luxury sales, according to Bain.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Nobody expects any changes to government policy,” Lannes said of China. “That’s why it is the beginning of a new era, and brands have to rebase their business.”</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Retailers such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel have set aside more store space in China for fashion apparel, while Hugo Boss AG, Coach Inc. and Tod’s SpA are expanding women’s wear collections in the country.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Overseas Buying</strong></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Although Chinese customers are the world’s biggest luxury buyers by nationality, accounting for 29 percent of high-end purchases last year, mainland sales have slowed as Chinese shoppers now buy more than two-thirds of their items overseas, according to Bain.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Prices are between 30 to 40 percent lower in Europe and as much as 25 percent lower in Hong Kong, according to Bernstein’s estimates.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Chanel’s black leather Sac Classique bag sells for 35,200 yuan in China, according to the company’s local website, while it sells for 2,950 euros, or the equivalent of about 24,400 yuan, in a boutique in Paris.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Refocusing on women’s fashion can help luxury-goods makers counter the overseas-buying trend, Bernstein’s Ortelli said.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“You can postpone the buying of a watch or piece of jewelry,” Ortelli said. “But if you have an important dinner today, you don’t go to Hong Kong to buy your dress.”</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">‘Own Money’</strong></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Still, ready-to-wear apparel has its drawbacks. Gross profit margins are at least 10 percentage points lower than those for leather goods, analysts from HSBC Holdings Plc and Bernstein said.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Diversification is a good thing to revive interest and drive sales,” said Erwan Rambourg, Hong Kong-based managing director and global co-head of consumer and retail research at HSBC. “It’s obviously less positive in terms of margins and returns on investment.”</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With apparel and shoes, brands have to carry different sizes and need more space to display them, Rambourg said. Apparel retailers also tend to hold sales at the end of a season, he said.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Still, shoppers like Carry Zhuang, a 32-year-old who works in the media industry in Shanghai, are grabbing companies’ attention as a way to overcome the slowdown.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“We earn our own money,” said Zhuang, dressed in a black blouse and skirt and carrying a Ferragamo leather bag, while shopping in the city’s IFC Mall, home to luxury stores from Chanel to watch retailer IWC. “And we want to spend it on something we like.”</div>
