Jacob Johncreater "Vanity Fair"

2012-07-12T16:58:00.001+02:00

One of the first serious projects. Inspired by a photo session and Kristen's Stewart interview for the magazine "Vaniy Fair".

Actually, I never had the opportunity to introduce my own person, so I will take this post telling a few words about myself.

Nowadays it is extremely difficult to stand out in any field, especially in fashion, why? Development of the Internet caused that millions of users share their skills with the world if it sewing, or blogging or whateva'. And here I give into your powerful hands and verify my talent.

My name is Jacob Johncreater (Jakub Stworzyjan in Polish) , I'm 18 years old. I learn in the Polish high school of art, and for two years, after successfully passing the exams going to go in the direction closely related to my passions. Studies at the department of fabrics and clothing - it's my 5-year old dream / goal (delete as unnecessary). If it is entrusted to me, I'll try to study abroad.

My passion is high fashion. Madly adore Haute Couture, baroque glamor, luxurious fabrics, great rack structures. So you can conclude that my favorite designers are Christian Dior, rather, John Galliano, and Alexander McQueen. However, as befits a mortal, a Polish student, I can not afford to sew with silk, lace and layered tulle fabrics, dresses with a long train, finished by hand, openwork embroidery and gold thread.

As mentioned, the dress inspired by Kristen's session. Name of the project is therefore very significant, symbolic and complicated, "Vanity Fair".

A simple dress, reaching more than 5 cm below ground, collar finished with sequins. Model Dorothy Zalewska, classmate.

The Penalty For Fakes

2012-06-18T11:49:00.000+02:00

For wearing and buying counterfeit goods threatens to three years in prison and fines of over $ 300,000! In France, the fight against illegally marketed products takes place now. But when the rest of the world?

Association Comité Colbert luxury goods together with the French Customs Office and the National Committee for Combating Counterfeiting has begun a public campaign, awareness of the illegal character counterfeits. Each of the seven planned posters will be branded by one of the luxury brand - Cartier, Chanel, Christian Dior, Lacoste, Longchamp, Louis Vuitton and Van Cleef & Arpels. Action realizes that under French law, anyone who buys a fake and it carries, can go to jail for three years or pay a penalty of approximately $ 400,000 dollars. Posters in 10 thousand copies will hang at 18 French airports.

Keywords:

"Real ladies do not like fake"

"Buy a fake Cartier, and go to a real crime"

"With this phone phone, you better be ready to call your lawyer"

Perhaps the most frightens us that you can buy a fake in the price of the original and get caught ...

Slimming pizza!

2012-06-17T09:07:00.001+02:00

How long road traveled ordinary cake covered with leaves of herbs, olive oil poured over the fire and baked, to form, in which happens to buy it. This once poor's cake today can surprise with sophisticated extras. How about if these add-ons such inflate production costs of pizza that the cost of one cake is about $500 ?

In the Steveston Pizza restaurant in Vancouver chefs prepare pizza on which top, place only expensive delicacies: meat of lobster and cod from Alaska, and the work is crowned by "topping" from the Russian sturgeon caviar. Now I understand the idea of pizza, which weight loss ... but wallets.

It's very filling pizza. Her quarter is the portion for one person - says the chef serving a tasty treat.

Somehow it does not really convincing. I probably prefer an ordinary pizza. With a good tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil. Such a pizza like this for $ 500 we can order, for an important gala or dinner with a Russian billionaire. Watching on TV "Twilight" we probably prefer eat something less sophisticated, and something that after the fall on the floor will not contribute to the collapse of our assets.

Boots With Modified Rays

2012-06-16T10:10:00.001+02:00

Horizons and range of fashion is constantly growing. Already risen to levels that combine science and genetics. The result? Leather boots with modified rays. Does fashion have any scruples and borders?

Fashion is allowed to do more. Fashion is allowed to grow special varieties of fur-bearing animals and later sew furs of them. Fashion is allowed for the promotion of anorexia and other eating disorders. But does the industry feel the hunger so powerful that scientists have to modify the DNA of animals? Looks like. Would understand that the shoes are really a designer, unique and beautiful. But to harm nature to produce such ugly shoes, is harder. Price is also not very attractive. For a pair of these shoes you will pay more or less from $ 14.800 to $ 16.200. If you want to trifle with nature and interfere with the natural order (if any is kept) of the world, visit the website and play genetic mutations:
Rayfish.com

Rayfish also published on their blog image of hybrid a zebra and horse called "Zebroid."

"Mixing animal skin patterns. Nothing new really."

So, nothing new, but if the mutations take place on such field, will soon extinct natural species and replace them with artificially created.

Coco Rocha Makes A Photoshoot

2012-06-11T01:25:00.000+02:00

We know the distribution of models to those that are seasonal sensation and can not do anything substantial, and those that last in business for many years, and owes their position not scout, but hard (really hard) work. One of these second cases is a Canadian top model Coco Rocha. Watching a video, the concept of working models during photo shoots can change dramatically.

Professional model in the blink of an eye, can change into someone else, take a different posture or facial expressions. Can be like a chameleon, can adapt to the requirements, is flexible.

Target network recently posted on its blog short because less than a 60-second video of the work on a cover photo shoot. Starring Coco Rocha by Tony Kim for Target Style. Stunning clip fully shows that pretty face and shapely legs are not everything. Coco's jumping, waving her hands, hair and bends in all directions. She does it extremely natural, with extraordinary lightness, grace, without effort and breathlessness. Almost hard to believe that this is only human, not that before us bends robot programmed for 15 settings of the body.

Kristen In Vanity Fair

2012-06-07T14:51:00.000+02:00

Her vampire films win awards, she gains new engagements. Kristen Stewart in an interview and accompanying AMAZING photo shoot about a not too girlish childhood. Kirsten and the July 'Vanity Fair' and Mario Testino:

On the page spread "Twilight" star poses for pictures in gilded corset and keeps a miniature dog on her knees. She looks very imperiously. The only disadvantage of the perfect styling's that little dog which went out of fashion five seasons ago, and it does't look too delighted with session.

Returning to the interview. She describes how she copes with the criticism, and the preferred style of dress as a child. Part of it:

On not taking perfect pictures: “I have been criticized a lot for not looking perfect in every photograph. I get some serious shit about it. I’m not embarrassed about it. I’m proud of it. If I took perfect pictures all the time, the people standing in the room with me, or on the carpet, would think, What an actress! What a faker! That thought embarrasses me so much that I look like sh-t in half my photos, and I don’t give a fuck. What matters to me is that the people in the room leave and say, ‘She was cool. She had a good time. She was honest.’ I don’t care about the voracious, starving sh-t eaters who want to turn truth into shit. Not that you can say that in Vanity Fair!”

Trendy Wigs

2012-05-27T01:50:00.000+02:00

Wigs a few seasons ago weren't so fashionable and so public like nowadays. More and more stars and celebrities admit to having synthetic wisps. Nay, we often hear about the whole wardrobes for storing wigs. Example? Nicki Minaj openly acknowledged that she has so many wigs, as many as she can't count them all. Another? Lady Gaga in an interview said that has a wig for every kind of humor. These artists are more and more. Fashion for beautiful synthetics promote Adele, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Tyra Banks.On the one hand it's good that they do not destroy their natural hair by weekly dyeing, or modeling. However, the coupling of strands, event whole wigs for advertising hair shampoo or conditioner, it is two steps too far.Wigs are becoming a natural thing and more popular as a correspondent for the British Guardian, Orla McGarry says. It does not apply only street artists, but they become most fashionable "accessories". Cutting own hair by Ebony to be able to wear long straight wig is common now. So I wonder. How far the wig industry go?

How To Get A Job In The Luxury Industry

2012-05-14T04:45:00.001+02:00

Each of us, actually everyone who is interested in fashion, dreams to be as close to luxury. Although this work is not an exclusive, shop-assistant job in the boutique, such as Louis Vuitton, and Chanel is impressive. Kate Benson, president of a leading headhunting company, which recruits employees for companies such as Etro, Versace and Fendi comes with a helping hand.

On the website of Forbes, released an extensive interview about the work in the luxury stores. You can read it completely here, in the post the most interesting threads.

How does one get into the luxury industry? When should you start preparing for it?

The earlier the better but I wouldn’t say this is new news. Any industry that you work in, it’s always admirable to work your way from the bottom up. Of course, it’s also possible to put a spin on whatever position you currently hold. Marketing, sales and branding can be the same for many industries. Everyone is trying to market a product, sell it to a consumer and further strengthen their brand. The luxury industry will require a different spin than say one in finance – but it’s not impossible to break into the luxury sector, having never had experience in it before.

What should you study in college? Are there degrees that would transition easily into the luxury industry over others?

It truly depends on what you’re interested in doing within the luxury realm. You may want to be a fashion editor, in which case studying English would be a beneficial path. Fashion merchandising, design, illustration, product development, or textiles are very popular degrees to study in fashion. Well-known fashion schools include: FIT, Parson’s, The New School, Rhode Island School of Design and Central Saint Martins, to name a few. If you’re unsure of your path, studying marketing, sales or business would be advantageous in the luxury industry, and would even allow for an easy transition into a different career, if you choose to do so in the future.

Model Alliance

2012-04-10T00:20:00.000+02:00

Sara Ziff, founder of the 'Picture Me' announced the struggle and the great changes in the fashion business. So it happened. Former supermodel set up a models' trade union. "Model Alliance" has investigated the fashion industry and confirmed the fears: drugs, abuse, eating disorders ...

Model Alliance was formed to protect the rights of models and create a platform for mutual exchange of experience for girls in the industry. The organization conducted a survey among models. Their goal was to determine the pressing problems in the industry.

When Sara Ziff and I started thinking about how to organize a group occupational models and how to fight for their rights. We decided that we must first know how they themselves assess conditions.

Jenna Sauers, the Alliance Model Management.

Founder of the organization sent a questionnaire to 241 models, but received responsesonly from the 85th The results are inconclusive, but the scales can tilt in either direction.

Here are the results of surveyed:

Every third girl struggling with the problems of nutrition, and anxiety and depressionmodels recognized as the most important threat to health.

68% of respondents said they suffer from depression, half had contact with hard drugs. Nearly 55% of girls said they had started at the age of 13-16 years. One in four said that parents or guardians are not accompanied the model at work, which means that teens are left to themselves. 64% of the models were asked to weight loss by their motheragencies.

Almost every third girl was inappropriately touched at work, while 28% were forced into sex. But that's not all. Over 60% of girls claim they have enough privacy when changing, and 86% were invited for undressing on the session without prior notice.

One third of abused girls told anyone about the incident. This shows that the model needs an independent organization, such as the Model Alliance to help cope with difficult experiences - says Ziff.
