Green Brands: the delicate balance

A leading manufacturer embarks on a journey of fashion sustainability. The cha? Ing supply and operations are changed, added new priorities of governance, goals set and achieved. The product range is growing greener every year. Prada Messenger Bags Then, the manufacturer decided to launch an eco-line as a lighthouse. And things go wrong. Eco-per line? How u less elegant. Meanwhile, ask the credentials of the green line, the consumer what is happening to make the other lines - they are toxic and bad for the environment? " This is the scenario that I Tobias Fischer, project relations and CSR at H & M. It is discussed, according to Fischer (and virtually everyone else in the clothing industry, I spoke with) a balancing act that keeps the brand manager for the night . Too Much Information? Or not enough? Fischer speaks to sustainable brands on London's cultural drivers of sustainable innovation. He is of the opinion that it. Not just a cultural difference between the regions, such as the United States and Europe, but between consumers and stakeholders of the company Internally, the sustainable development action is a positive force that creates cohesion and esprit de corps. But consumers see only the outward manifestation of this action - the brands that proudly features such as organic cotton or without chemical dyes. "When you commit to build a greater responsibility companies to discuss, inform how consumers." Fischer said. "Do you tell them that you are at the beginning of a long journey, and there are no solutions for all challenges yet? Or just leave as soon as your items have real information? Of green above average" To reveal the danger of too much the wrath of consumers. If you previously did not know of issues such as the huge amounts of water and fertilizer it to produce cotton, they could not see the value in switching to organic cotton. On the other hand, consumers say that very little has its own risks. In the age of instant access to information, can say nothing about your company page CSR, consumers the impression that your company is not working. The Cannibal Green Fashion Brand Fischer then investigated further danger in introducing clothing lines for green consumers. ? At H & M we have a very successful online green. It was innovative and avant-garde. The danger is, it may lead consumers to view it as anything you do, for sustainability, if it is so much more real. " Although all H & M lines have green information, thanks to H & M's sustainability initiatives behind the scenes, consumers have difficulty looking beyond the actual product. Essentially, this means that if you commit to a green line, you must be ready to step up for each row. Or there is a risk that the green line begins cannibalize on other products. The? Ons If there is one point that I got from our conversation was the following: Do not expect a seamless transition to green. Fischer believes that sustainability is a business mandate. It's just not in the discussion. But does branding, cross a green corporate culture to a culture of consumption ... and consumers can be fickle fashion. If you agree bumps in the road (degree of transparency and cannibalism brand, for example) are unavoidable by your intentions honest self-improvement raises the rewards. Consumers are more impressed by the honesty they are with perfection. The desire for a high fashion brand is not only about fashion more sustainable - it is also the consumer-to-edge sustainable fashion.

By Jay Kernis and Mary Kozelka

International fashion mogul Tory Burch and her eponymous company are at the center of a bitter lawsuit filed by her former husband, venture capitalist Chris Burch. Tory and Chris Burch divorced in 2006 and Chris, who was crucial to the launch of Tory Burch and who is a majority shareholder of Tory Burch LLC, launched his own fashion brand, C. Wonder. When Chris unveiled the C. Wonder line last year, many eyebrows were raised because, to many observers, his merchandise appeared strikingly similar to the Tory Burch products, but at a more affordable price point. When asked about her ex-husband’s new project, Tory remains civil. “Some of it is too referential. And I think that he's going to be changing that, and some of it is great,” she told NBC’s Harry Smith in an interview airing Thursday at 10pm/9c on Rock Center with Brian Williams. “So, I think it's about finding the balance of what is OK with us and what works for him.” The lawsuit Chris Burch has filed against Tory Burch and her company alleges interference with his business operations. But so far, the legal battle doesn’t seem to be slowing Tory down. Despite the success of her fashion line, with boutiques in over 1,000 department stores and 82 stand alone shops, Tory Burch remains an approachable figure, both to her colleagues and the public. “People love her. They want to be her. They want her life. And she's really nice,” said Johanna Coles, editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan Magazine. The relatable, every-woman vibe she exudes can perhaps be traced to Tory’s roots. Born and raised on a farm in Valley Forge, Pa., Tory claims her design style was influenced by her family, namely her mother and father, Reva and Buddy Robinson. When she launched her company, Tory looked to old photographs of her parents and their travels for inspiration. “My father had impeccable style. He designed all of his own clothing. I think he should have been a designer,” she said. Many of these same photographs now hang in her flagship store on Madison Avenue and one of her most iconic designs, the Reva ballet flat, was named after her mother. “[Reva] is both happy and sad to be known for a shoe,” she said, smiling. When Tory decided to take a leap of faith and establish her own fashion house, she was understandably nervous. “I had never been to business school. I had never been to design school,” she said, adding: “It was a risk. It was putting myself out there in a way that was opening myself up for criticism. I'm a sensitive person. So, it was hard.”

Cutwater, S.F., Wins Fashion AccountFirst Agency for Trina Turk By Noreen O'Leary

huck McBride is back in the fashion business. Trina Turk, the Southern California designer whose offerings are heavily influenced by vintage modernist apparel and jewelry, has picked McBride's Cutwater as her first agency. The Cutwater executive creative director and principal, who has worked on brands like Ray-Ban, Levis, Persol sunglasses and Adidas, won the business after a review involving other undisclosed contenders. Cutwater will be responsible for the designer’s traditional advertising as well as digital, social and media strategy. Until now, Tina Turk has developed advertising in-house. The S.F. agency’s first work is expected in the spring of 2013. Turk launched the brand in 1995 with her photographer husband Jonathan Skow, and opened her first boutique in Palm Springs in 2002. She has since expanded to seven locations and is distributed through retailers like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Saks and Bloomingdales. Turk also collaborated with Bananna Republic for a collection this summer. As a creative person, McBride said part of the appeal of the account is Turk’s aesthetic sense, which draws upon influences ranging from 1960s and ‘70s vintage apparel and jewelry to modernist graphics and mid-century architecture. Trina Turk also produces residential décor accessories and textiles. “This is not just a fashion company, it’s more of a design company,” said the Cutwater founder. “There is a tremendous aspirational quality and accessibility to it. She believes in great design for all. She doesn’t want it to be ubiquitous, but she doesn’t want it to be exclusive.”

As luxury goods lose their economic lustre, the art world—despite its close connections

Hot on the high heels of consecutive fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris come the Frieze art fairs. This week’s round of openings, private views, dinners and the associated parties that fill collectors’ diaries owes much to the modus operandi of the fashion industry. Meanwhile, both the luxury goods market and the top end of the art market have demonstrated resilience over the past four years in the face of economic gloom. But last month, the high-end British fashion house Burberry warned that its profits would not meet expectations, wiping around 20% (£1bn) off its stock-market value in one day. The company’s chief executive, Angela Ahrendts, said that “the external environment is becoming more challenging”. Does this signal a warning for the art market, too? A quick look in London’s high-end stores demonstrates the degree of crossover between the two worlds: the artists Elmgreen & Dragset have installed works among the Louis Vuitton bags on New Bond Street (including an oversized fairytale bed), while replicas of the artist Yayoi Kusama have moved out of the Vuitton store and into Selfridges (in conjunction with the designer, which sponsored Kusama’s Tate Modern exhibition earlier this year). Meanwhile, the artist Rob Pruitt is due to launch a “capsule collection” of shoes, bags and accessories this month in collaboration with Jimmy Choo. The relationship between art and fashion is a sensitive subject, however—one that strikes at the core of what value in art actually is. Some dealers are quick to differentiate art from the mass-market appeal of fashion, pointing to the overriding differences between a coat and a fine work of art. “Collectors think about what they are doing for years, rather than making an impulsive decision according to a fashion trend,” says Neil Wenman of Hauser & Wirth (FL, C8; FM, B5). Alma Luxembourg of Luxembourg & Dayan, which is showing this week at PAD London in Berkeley Square, says that art “requires more from the participant”. The businesses are certainly polarised in terms of size—the art market is estimated globally to be worth around $40bn, while the luxury goods market is worth around $300bn, according to Euromonitor International—but most dealers accept that the buyers are often the same. Thaddaeus Ropac (FL, F4), who has a gallery in central Paris and is opening a large new space on the outskirts of the city this weekend, says that people were “flocking [to] the gallery” during Paris Fashion Week at the beginning of this month. Both industries share a visual product in which the value, or at least what people are prepared to pay, is not intrinsic to its materials or cost of labour. “We are both selling an item that transcends its use,” Luxembourg says. Tim Etchells, who co-founded the ArtHK fair and is opening a new fair in London next year, has worked with the organisers of London Fashion Week for more than 20 years (noting that the fashion market is more sophisticated in this area). He talks about the intangible value conferred by brand names in both industries. “The definition of a brand is a promise: White Cube [FL, F7] is a promise about the sort of art you will get from the gallery,” he says. And for contemporary artists, meeting the demand of the growing number of fairs and galleries has parallels with the fashion industry. “Fashion is now more about the volume of sales, just as artists now have to make a huge amount of work to sell across five continents,” says the art dealer Pilar Corrias (FL, H5). Ropac says that “art flirts less with the fashion world than vice versa”, but some dealers believe that the reluctance to learn lessons from the marketing clout of fashion is a backward way of thinking. “Luxury [businesses] can connect the art world to a larger audience and the relationship is also, potentially, intellectually interesting,” says Emmanuel Perrotin (FL, F3). “At a time when the arts need as much funding as possible, what’s wrong with that?” Last year, one of his artists, Daniel Arsham, created three window installations for Dior in New York, Paris and Milan. Etchells says that the art world could “learn a lot” from the fashion industry. There is a sense that a slowdown in luxury-goods buying may impact on the cheaper end of the art market, but the usual pre-fair optimism pervades as Frieze begins, especially at those galleries catering to the top 1% of wealth. “I don’t see a correlation at a certain level. If a collector is considering spending upwards of $100,000 on a work of art, they can most likely afford a new Burberry mac… it’s two different markets. But if the private-jet market declines, let me know,” Neil Wenman says.

4 Ways That Social Fashion Startups Are Changing The Retail Industry

In October 1995, the phrase “fashionista” burst onto the national scene in an Associated Press article calling fashionistas “the fashion mafia”—people who fly to New York each year for Fashion Week. In a follow up story days later, The Washington Post added “(A fashionista is) the cranky son-of-a-gun in the Gucci loafers who wields clout and attitude like a silver stiletto.” As women around the world started connecting with each other using social networks such as Facebook and Pinterest, the influence around fashion became more democratic. Women began to share their own opinions and could now follow and inspire one another. The term “fashionista” grew to be more positive—and reflected anyone who influenced fashion through sharing their own style and opinions. “Fashionista” was mentioned 4 times in 1995 in major media, and more than 2,600 times so far in 2012 (according to Factiva). Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/social-fashion-startups-are-changing-retail-2012-10#ixzz2AOHd5eXJ In some areas of our life (what movies to watch, or books to read, electronics to buy…), technology or algorithms have helped us make decisions, but in the fashion world algorithms don’t seem to be enough. Fashionistas want to inspire and be inspired by others. Startups enabling the fashion discovery have a new way of thinking. Instead of focusing resources on building the perfect algorithm (to say "if similar users like item X you might also like item Y because you have similar preferences") they focus on providing the infrastructure so that users are empowered to find their natural recommenders. The platform provides the means, users get the goal. With these new platforms, people and data are classified naturally by the social network mechanisms (followers, leaders, popularity ranking, automatic categories, user-created categories like Pinterest boards, etc.) and rewarding schemas for active users.

Fashion’s Equivalent of the Blank Canvas

Anticipated by Sargeant’s Madame X, invented by Coco Chanel, and adapted infinitely by women across style, class, and some national borders, the little black dress is adored for its versatility as armor, camouflage, or plumage. Even in the art world, where basic black is the vestment of choice, the little black dress retains a special allure. Put it over a full-body tattoo and its wearer still channels Audrey Hepburn, if not Cindy Sherman. “You can wear it to an art opening if you go as artist or gallerina or collector,” says Rachel Feinstein, the artist who is also a muse for designer Marc Jacobs. Offering a template on which to act, or not, the little black dress is fashion’s equivalent of the blank canvas. “The shape is very important, the sculptural element using the body as form underneath,” says Feinstein. Thus the garment gives you “sex appeal without trying to look like you’re sexy on purpose.” The black dresses now on view at the Savannah College of Art and Design, in a show organized by André Leon Talley, the Vogue contributing editor who is also a writer and, increasingly, a curator, aren’t the type you’d see at art openings. Most are couture—vintage garments from Chanel, Balenciaga, Fortuny, Valentino, and highlights from recent collections by Calvin Klein, Miu Miu, Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang, and Proenza Schouler, among many others. Also included are several items in neoprene, more commonly used for wetsuits, by Lanvin, Jil Sander, and Cushnie and Ochs, as well as Alexis Asplundh, a recent SCAD graduate showing a zip-front, knee-length dress (above). Talley introduced her to his friend Gloria, Princess of Thurn and Taxis, who ordered a neoprene suit. “The rules do not apply any more as they used to,” Talley says. “New fabrics are just as elegant as traditional fabrics.” Another 2012 graduate, Victoria Wilmoth, is represented by a satin hourglass evening gown, embedded with gilded plumes. The hourglass Marc Jacobs dress that Feinstein wore to the Met’s most recent Costume Institute gala is here (above), along with her accessory, an oversize fur hat by Stephen Jones. “It was the biggest black fur fedora you’ve ever seen,” says Talley, “like the hat from Alice in Wonderland. It was like a cloud of mushroom fur around her face. She kept it on the entire dinner.” Feinstein and her husband, painter John Currin, met Talley a few years ago at a dinner party, when he insulted their outfits. “You both look like you should be working on Wall Street,” he told them, as Feinstein recounts. “We were a little bit offended,” she says. “We gave him a hard time about it, that’s how we became friends.” Amidst the black dresses, Talley has installed a black enamel carriage with a broken wheel, a 2008 sculpture by Feinstein called Puritan’s Delight. “We needed a focal point,” says Talley. “I’ve learned this from Diana Vreeland,” his mentor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. The collapsed coach adds certain fairy-tale quality to the display. Nearby is a male mannequin—Cinderfella?— in the transparent, lacy Comme des Garçons shirtdress that Marc Jacobs wore to the Costume Institute gala. His accessories are white boxer shorts, black ankle socks, and jeweled Pilgrim shoes from Jacobs’s fall 2012 collection. “It’ a shattering breakthrough, the little black dress being worn by a man,” Talley says. “It’s crashing through boundaries, the rules of black tie.” Does this mean we’ll see more black dresses on men? “I may wear a black dress one day,” he says. Why not? It wasn’t so long ago that women weren’t supposed to wear pants

4 Ways That Social Fashion Startups Are Changing The Retail Industry

In October 1995, the phrase “fashionista” burst onto the national scene in an Associated Press article calling fashionistas “the fashion mafia”—people who fly to New York each year for Fashion Week. In a follow up story days later, The Washington Post added “(A fashionista is) the cranky son-of-a-gun in the Gucci loafers who wields clout and attitude like a silver stiletto.” As women around the world started connecting with each other using social networks such as Facebook and Pinterest, the influence around fashion became more democratic. Women began to share their own opinions and could now follow and inspire one another. The term “fashionista” grew to be more positive—and reflected anyone who influenced fashion through sharing their own style and opinions. “Fashionista” was mentioned 4 times in 1995 in major media, and more than 2,600 times so far in 2012 (according to Factiva). In some areas of our life (what movies to watch, or books to read, electronics to buy…), technology or algorithms have helped us make decisions, but in the fashion world algorithms don’t seem to be enough. Fashionistas want to inspire and be inspired by others. Startups enabling the fashion discovery have a new way of thinking. Instead of focusing resources on building the perfect algorithm (to say "if similar users like item X you might also like item Y because you have similar preferences") they focus on providing the infrastructure so that users are empowered to find their natural recommenders. The platform provides the means, users get the goal. With these new platforms, people and data are classified naturally by the social network mechanisms (followers, leaders, popularity ranking, automatic categories, user-created categories like Pinterest boards, etc.) and rewarding schemas for active users.

Intersection: An Affection for Punk Style in Astoria

When you hop off the N train in Astoria, Queens, smoke from grilled souvlaki blankets your nose and eyes within seconds. If you make your way down Steinway Street, a busy strip packed with mom-and-pop stores, restaurants, boutiques and beauty salons, you can’t help but feel nostalgic for an older, pre-Starbucks New York. “Astoria is one of those few areas you’ll find where its still just families living in neighborhoods, tree-lined neighborhoods,” said Andrew McCoy, a resident who described his style as classic Americana. Intersection Street fashion videos that capture many varied parts of New York City and the people who live here. View a new video every other Tuesday. “It’s safe,” he said. One of Astoria’s shining attributes is its ethnically diverse makeup, which is true for much of Queens. If you’re walking down Broadway, Ditmars Boulevard or any other main block in Astoria, you’re likely to hear Greek, Italian, Spanish, Romanian, Korean, Chinese and a few other languages before you can pick what you want for dinner. And the street style is as assorted as the cultures. We met Zachary Gayle, 18, on the corner of 36th Street and 30th Avenue on a recent evening. Wearing a gloriously grungy trucker hat that seemed older than he was, Mr. Gayle talked about being an art student at Frank Sinatra School of Arts High School in Astoria, all the places his hat had seen and why he identifies with punk style and culture.
