2012 end of year reflections on fashion

Posted on February 1, 2013 by admins

Celine Handbags Last year JC Penny’s, a middle economic price range brick and mortar department store was struggling. Now, Penny’s CEO Ron Johnson is repositioning Penny’s as a middle-income version of Henri Bendel with individual specialty shops offering updated merchandise. The changes are guaranteed to make shopping at the Citadel Mall’s JC Penny’s a lot more interesting.

Fashionistas might be scratching their heads and wondering if Marc Jacobs is fashion’s latest “bad boy”. His 2012 runway show was one of the most interesting and amusing. However the clothes were more in the vain of theatre costumes than wearable clothes. He chose to ignore the new Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Guidelines on age and weight for models by continuing to use fourteen and fifteen year olds. Considering the Dr. Seuss/Alice in Wonderland quality of his show for Louis Vuitton, fourteen and fifteen year olds may have been appropriate. A February 15 article in The New York Times by Eric Wilson stated, “Both girls are represented by Ford Models, Which said last week that the company, while in favor of the health initiative, had not agreed to the council’s specific proposal of an age requirement for runway modeling. The fashion council, of which Mr. Jacobs is a board member, did not fault him, responding that it is up to the designers to decide whether to follow its guidelines.” A skeptic might assume that the CFDA guidelines on underage and underweight models are just a lot of meaningless hot air. Mr. Jacobs was a main attraction at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Gala. Nadine Deninno in an article in the International Business Times wrote he “stole the spotlight himself at the Met Gala by showing up in a lace dress sporting his white boxes underneath”.

Celine Bag Fashion’s revolving door of designer de jour continues. Hedi Slimane replaced Stefano Pilati at YSL. Mr. Slimane changed YSL to SL, moved the company headquarters from Paris to Los Angeles and banned New York Times fashion reporter Cathy Horn from the SL runway show. Raf Simons replaced John Galliano at Dior. Alexander Wang replaced Nicolas Ghesquiere at Balenciaga.

It was the year of big accessories. Peds and pantyhose both made come backs. The accessories that perhaps best define the year’s fashion were Marc Jacobs’s oversized hats, Chanel’s oversized Hula-Hoop Bag, and Celine’s fuzzy slippers. It was a year in which designers seemed to say that bigger is better.

2012 Beauty and the Beast Soundtrack List

Posted on February 1, 2013 by admins

Celine Bags Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway sing the theme song “Tale as Old as Time” on the 2012 Beauty and the Beast Soundtrack List. That’s the music memo I would like to have issued if I were head of Disney. Or even get Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried to sing it.After all, Jackman and Hathaway will be in studio singing on the Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack. What would it take to just get them to record one more song? As it is, so far Disney has no plans to re-issue a new 2012 Soundtrack to Beauty and the Beast with the 3D release or even a single song like they did in 2010 to help promote the Diamond Edition Blu-Ray release.

Come on, Disney, it’s 3D, that’s cause for celebration. Just give us one more cover of the song. Not that it really mattered anyways. Don’t get me wrong, Jordin Sparks has a fine voice but it’s pretty hard to top the heartfelt rendition of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman’s Grammy award winning song when it’s sung by veteran Broadway and stage actress Angela Lansbury or the powerhouse voices of Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson.

Who would you like to have seen re-do the Beauty and the Beast Theme Song? I’d love to hear your picks. Leave a note in the guestbook at the bottom of the page.The Latest Beauty and the Beast Soundtrack List Choreographer – Mary Anderson

Celine Handbags Based on the classic French fairy tale, it tells the story of Belle (voiced by Paige O’Hara), an intelligent young woman scorned by her townspeople for being a bookworm, weary of fighting off the advances of the arrogant Gaston (Richard White), and dreaming of escape. When her father gets lost in the woods and captured by the forbidding Beast (Robby Benson), a once-handsome prince turned into a monster by a witch, Belle goes off to rescue him. Taken with her, the Beast agrees to release Belle’s father if she agrees to stay with him forever. Initially repulsed, Belle soon finds much to appreciate in the Beast’s hidden, tender nature. The Beast’s servants — a clock (David Ogden Stiers), a teapot (Angela Lansbury), and a candlestick (Jerry Orbach) — see Belle as their salvation: if the Beast and a woman fall in love before his 21st birthday, he will be free from the curse. The songs are first-class, the tale is told with sincerity but not sentimentality, and the characters of Belle and the Beast, complex individuals who defy stereotyping and change over the course of the story, are more three-dimensional than in most live-action movies. The eye-popping animation is beautifully rendered, and Beauty and the Beast certainly deserves its place amongst Disney’s animated classics.

Human Again from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. This Alan Menken song was not in the original 1991 film, but later resurfaced in the Broadway production and DVD. Release Date – January 12, 2012 Choreographer – Mary Anderson
