It's gold for green designer

By Adam Tschorn, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer



Photo: from Treehugger.com Wallpaper interview with Rogan Gregory (left).


Eco-friendly clothier Rogan Gregory wins Council of Fashion
Designers of America/Vogue Fashion Fund top prize.

SCORE another one for the green team: Rogan Gregory, a New York City designer of socially conscious, eco-friendly brands, has won the Council of Fashion Designers of America/Vogue Fashion Fund top prize.

The award, created to support emerging American designers, comes with a $200,000 prize and a track record of raising the profiles of those who have won it. Last year's winner was Doo-Ri Chung, with the Trovata collective winning in 2005. Earlier this year the Valentino Fashion Group bought a 45% stake in Proenza Schouler, the label launched by Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, who took home the inaugural prize in 2004.Gregory's win was announced at a New York gala to benefit the CFDA/Vogue Initiative for HIV/AIDS on Nov. 15. The runners-up, Philip Crangi and Phillip Lim, will each receive $50,000. All three will receive a year of business mentoring.

Gregory, 35, is best known for the Edun line of men's and women's sportswear, a collaboration with U2 frontman Bono and Bono's wife, Ali Hewson. The line was launched in 2005 with the goal of providing sustainable employment in developing countries. In 2001, Gregory launched the Rogan denim label (with business partner Scott Hahn), followed by the all-organic Loomstate denim collection in 2004. In addition to selling at high-end department stores (Barneys New York) and boutiques (Hollywood Trading Co.), there is a Rogan retail shop on Franklin Street in New York City. In a phone interview, Hahn said the prize money had already been allocated "many times over."

"We don't need it for any one thing like putting on a runway show or opening a studio. We need it to help develop things like our sourcing, which is crucial for brands like ours," he said, referring to the company's goals of organic and sustainable production.

The Fashion Fund is supported by Gap, Vogue magazine and a handful of fashion manufacturers and retailers.

Rogan Gregory Interview at Wallpaper.com
by Collin Young, Seattle

Hot on the heels of a feature in Wallpaper's EcoEdit, designer Rogan Gregory (the guy behind Loomstate and Edun -- that's him on the left) sat down for an interview with the style and design mag. He talks about what it's like to work with Bono and wife Ali Hewson, as he did with Edun, combining high fashion with social equity in Africa, about which he says, "We are pushing though, wherever we go, to create sustainability." Rogan's line of bespoke industrial-style furniture and objects, Rogan Objects, is also a topic of discussion, allowing the designer to elaborate on his personal design and sustainability values. "I am definitely aesthetic-oriented. If I don’t like the way the way something looks but it’s super-eco, I don’t give a shit. It’s got to look nice," he says. "I’m just not so extreme and I don’t expect people to be so extreme. I expect people to buy things for the way they look. I don’t count on people to do it out of the goodness of their heart, I don’t think you can." Yeah, we know this stuff is more expensive than conventional alternatives, but when it comes to looking good when walking the walk, not to mention Rogan's part in helping create a new green cultural zeitgeist, it doesn't get much better.

The Hayden by Dooney & Bourke

DesignersLA
Celebrity influence is being made by the new handbag Dooney & Bourke is introducing soon.


from Batch Please
Hollywood's newest "it" girl, Hayden Panettiere is the latest celebrity face for designer handbag brand Dooney & Bourke. The "Hayden" is a limited edition Dooney & Bourke bag designed by the starlet herself. “I wanted to do something people haven’t seen from Dooney & Burke before, so my bag is red patent leather,” said Hayden of her eponymous bag. I definitely agree with Hayden. This bag is definitely something different for the Dooney & Bourke brand. They're known more for classically styled leather handbags, not something as bold as red patent leather. I think this is a good look for the brand though. The bag is cute and I think it will appeal to trendsetters of all ages. If you're interested in owning the "Hayden," it will go on sale this December for $500.

Made in China: Designer handbag fashion totally misunderstood

By Anna Miller, Ecommerce Entrepreneur & Internet Pioneer




CONTAINERS READY FOR SHIPMENT from the port of Shenzhen.
Photo taken from an article written by Michael Christopher Brown.



Wow! What’s all this garble about “everything” made in China being counterfeit or fake? Do people understand the design and manufacturing process? Or, are they just determined to squabble about one of the manufacturing industry’s greatest resources?

True, there’s been a lot of media about children’s toys being manufactured poorly. Shame on China for the mess they’ve created. They’ll fix the problem, or they’ll lose business. We all learn from our mistakes, right? Or, at least the smart folks learn. And, let’s face it, China is no dummy!

China has been manufacturing most of the clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories stocked in all the major department stores throughout the world for many, many years. And, this is not going to fade or go away. China offers low-cost labor for low-end to high-end designer handbags, clothing and just about anything around the house.

Most people don’t understand the truth about the Made in China label. China has been producing most of the Designer Merchandise sold in the USA for very long time. Why? Because the price to manufacture in China keeps prices as low as possible for consumers. People complain about the high price tags on designer handbags, clothing, shoes, and accessories. If the same item made in China was made in the USA or Europe the prices would be doubled or tripled.

If the Hermes Birkin bag was assembled by hand in China instead of France, the price would not be $7,000.00 each. If Italian leather was sent to China for the assembly of Prada handbags, the prices would not be $3,000.00 each. Please put things into perspective.

Burberry’s new management decided to use China for some of its assembled manufacturing needs and people went crazy. The thought of using a designer handbag made in China is misunderstood, misinterpreted, and misguided. The product made in China consists of the same quality of fabric as if it were made in the USA, France, England or Italy. The only difference is the designer item was assembled in China, or any other country offering a cheaper assembly manufacturing process.

Most of the high-end Designers buy fabrics, leathers, and materials from the USA or Europe, pay a premium price for the high-quality fabrication, and then negotiate manufacturing in China. The materials and specifications are sent to China and made. Representatives from each of the Design Houses travel to China or other manufacturing countries to supervise the process. The finished products are shipped to the USA and other parts of the world for sale. It’s a process kept sweet and as simple as possible. It creates jobs and produces a global economy.

Most consumers don’t know the designer manufacturing process or understand the details. They see a Made in China label and assume it’s a counterfeit item or fake. In reality, it’s not. It’s a moderately priced item made in a country which has been stereo-typed. And, we can’t blame the consumer because most of the junk, counterfeit and fake merchandise bearing the trademarks of others are made in China. Hopefully, the USA Customs Department working closely with the fashion industry will help end importing counterfeit goods.

There are many countries available the fashion designers use to outsource labor. The high-end leather designer handbags with high-ticket price tags are made in the USA, Italy, London and France. The lower cost designer products are made elsewhere. Most designers offer collections every season which provide both high-end and lower priced products. For example, Ralph Lauren has five price and fabrication determined collections: RL Classics, Collection, Black Label, Blue Label and Lauren. Plus, many of the designers produce a separate collection for outlet stores and discount stores like Marshalls, TJ Max, Target, Walmart, etc.

Some of the countries are more commonly used than others, and nonetheless they are countries with capabilities and low-cost labor. Some of these countries include, and are not limited to China, Turkey, Mexico, Romania, India and Portugal.

Fashion designers who make designer handbags, designer wallets, designer scarves, designer clothing, hats, shoes, etc. use these countries because they can sell their products at affordable prices. Some of the fashion designers include, and are not limited to Coach, Burberry, Liz Claiborne, Robert Rodriquez, Max Studio, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Dooney & Bourke, Juicy Couture, Donna Karan, Anne Klein, Brighton, and many, many others.

Just because an item is Made in China, it does not constitute fake or counterfeit. Let’s get this straight and communicated clearly. The reason the item was made in China is because at that point in time, the designer’s manufacturing team decided it was the best business decision to make for a cost-effective distribution of its product and collection.

The next time you see a Made in China label on a designer handbag or accessory, and you purchased it from a reputable source, thank your lucky stars for the bargain price you paid. If you have any doubt, take the item to the designer’s boutique for authentication and peace of mind. Don’t assume just because it’s Made in China it’s a fake. Do you know what “to assume” does? It makes an ass out of u and me! So, please don’t ASS U ME.

In West L.A., A Homeless ManInspires New Brand

Mr. Jermyn Is Face On Popular $98 'Hoodies'
Sister Fears Exploitation


By JON WEINBACH - The Wall Street Journal Online
November 14, 2007

LOS ANGELES -- The newest sensation at the center of Hollywood's fashion scene isn't a famous designer or starlet. It's a 56-year-old homeless man who spends his days dancing on roller skates.

John Wesley Jermyn has been a fixture in West Los Angeles for more than 20 years. Nicknamed "The Crazy Robertson" and "The Robertson Dancer," he is a constant presence on a stretch of Robertson Boulevard that has become the city's trendiest shopping corridor and a prime strolling spot for tourists and movie stars. Among locals and online, there's much speculation about Mr. Jermyn's personal history, including one oft-repeated rumor that he's a secretive millionaire.

In a plot twist worthy of Tinseltown, Mr. Jermyn now has a clothing label named after him. Since it was introduced last month, "The Crazy Robertson" brand of T-shirts and sweatshirts, created by a trio of 23-year-olds, has flown off the shelves at Kitson, a haunt of tabloid stars like Paris Hilton. The clothes feature stylized images of Mr. Jermyn, including one design -- available on a $98 hoodie -- that has a graphic of him dancing and the phrase "No Money, No Problems" on the back. At the largest of Kitson's three boutiques on Robertson, shirts bearing Mr. Jermyn's likeness are sold alongside $290 "Victoria Beckham" jeans and $50 baby shoes designed by pop star Gwen Stefani.


The label's owners, who grew up in Beverly Hills, have created a MySpace page for Mr. Jermyn. It doubles as an ad for the clothing brand and their nightclub-promotion venture, which is also named "The Crazy Robertson." The young entrepreneurs spent months trying to forge a relationship with Mr. Jermyn -- who now goes by the name John Jermien -- before gaining his approval. They have consulted him on design decisions and had a photographer shoot him for publicity images.


In May, Mr. Jermyn agreed to a deal that entitles him to 5% of "net profit" from clothing sales, according to a copy of the contract seen by The Wall Street Journal. He signed the contract, without speaking to an attorney or family members. But so far he has refused to accept much cash, preferring to be paid in food, liquor and paper for his art projects, according to Teddy Hirsh, one of the label's founders. "He tries not to involve money in his daily life," says Mr. Hirsh, who says he is Mr. Jermyn's agent and manager for future endeavors. Mr. Hirsh says Mr. Jermyn has already received several small payments, even though the company hasn't "made much profit" so far. "We haven't collected anything for ourselves," says Mr. Hirsh.


Videos of Mr. Jermyn skating and dancing are among a number of recordings of him posted on YouTube.Mr. Jermyn's slide into homelessness is a painful subject for his sister Beverly. And so is the clothing deal. She believes "The Crazy Robertson" founders are exploiting her brother's condition to build their brand. "I think these guys saw an opportunity and they took it," she says. "I am not happy with the arrangement."


Ms. Jermyn, who lives close to the alley where Mr. Jermyn sleeps, says her brother has a form of schizophrenia. He refuses to take medication, she says, despite suffering from fits of shouting and cursing. In the years since his condition began deteriorating in the late 1970s, "he slipped through my fingers like sand," says Ms. Jermyn, 64, who manages facilities for Oracle Corp.

In the late 1980s she testified in court in a proceeding to force her brother to seek help, but psychological evaluators found him "lucid and gracious," according to Ms. Jermyn. She has made countless attempts to provide him with shelter and therapy, and she still visits him twice a week with food. She also pays for his cellphone and collects his Social Security checks on his behalf.


The repackaging of Mr. Jermyn as a fashion front man comes at a time of increased fascination with homelessness. The producers of "Bumfights" -- a collection of videotaped street battles between vagrants -- claim to have sold more than 300,000 DVDs since 2002, and a British TV series called "Filthy Rich and Homeless" made headlines this year for its depiction of real-life millionaires posing as London beggars.



Across the U.S., a growing number of homeless people have gained attention through the Internet. More than 17,500 videos on YouTube are tagged with the word "homeless." Leslie Cochran, a street resident in Austin, Texas, who has twice run for mayor, has 10,775 "friends" on his MySpace page. In Boston, the profile of Harold Madison Jr. -- a homeless man better known as "Mr. Butch" -- rose through online clips and a Web site made in his honor.


Mr. Jermyn was raised in Hancock Park, a historic L.A. neighborhood that's home to some of the city's wealthiest families. His father managed one of L.A.'s largest Chevrolet dealerships. A star athlete in high school, Mr. Jermyn was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the 1969 Major League Baseball draft. He attended Pepperdine University and played a season for a Los Angeles Dodgers' minor-league team in Bellingham, Wash. (He hit just .205 and made 12 errors in 63 games, according to the Society for American Baseball Research.)

Joel John Roberts, chief executive of People Assisting the Homeless, which provides shelters for L.A.'s street residents, says the branding of Mr. Jermyn is "like designing a line of clothing patterned after Iraqi refugees fleeing the war."


Mr. Hirsh and Vic Ackerman, one of the other founders of the clothing line, are sensitive to Ms. Jermyn's concerns about her brother, but say Mr. Jermyn "specifically asked" them not to contact her about the clothing line or the contract. They view Mr. Jermyn as a "business partner" and say they make sure he's aware of how his image is being used.

"He knows everything that's going on," says Mr. Ackerman, noting that Mr. Jermyn nixed a set of promotional photos because he didn't like his outfit and thought he "looked a little puffy." In conversation, Mr. Jermyn speaks softly and mixes short, lucid sentences with longer, less coherent remarks. He has been arrested more than a dozen times since 1986 for violations such as trespassing and jaywalking, according to court records. Most of his skating and curb-side dancing now takes place near Robertson Boulevard, but in the past he roamed throughout Beverly Hills and West L.A., often cradling a boombox and shimmying to loud music. "He was always an extraordinary dancer," says Jim Horne, a classmate of Mr. Jermyn's at Los Angeles Baptist High School.

In addition to his sister, Mr. Jermyn speaks regularly with Ginny Berliner, a 64-year-old woman who befriended him when she owned an antique shop on Robertson. Mrs. Berliner, who now lives in Maryland, used to pay for Mr. Jermyn to sleep in a motel and covered his monthly coffee bill at Michel Richard, the well-known patisserie. "He wants notoriety and glory, but he can't accept money," she says.

On a recent afternoon, clad in his trademark black leggings and visor, Mr. Jermyn said he is "a facilitator" for the brand, and hopes it will expand into music or film. He has become a one-man marketing team, plastering company stickers and pictures of himself on a wall that faces pedestrians on Robertson.


At Kitson's boutiques and on its Web site, the first shipment of "Crazy Robertson" women's clothes -- about 35 items -- sold out in three days, and the store immediately ordered about 90 more pieces, according to owner Fraser Ross. Many of the online buyers were not from Los Angeles and presumably not familiar with Mr. Jermyn, he says. The brand may have appeal beyond L.A., says Mr. Ross, because its name includes "Robertson," which like Rodeo Drive is a destination associated with glamorous shopping.


Mr. Hirsh says the success at Kitson has already generated interest from other retailers. He calls Mr. Jermyn "our Michael Jordan" and is looking into a trademark for "the Crazy Robertson" name and logo. Ms. Jermyn, meanwhile, has different hopes. "I don't want to see my brother get hurt," she says. "They're taking advantage of someone who is very vulnerable and very trusting."

BCBG





from nymag.com

The Label

In the last sixteen years, Max Azria has added fifteen brands—including BCBGirls, To The Max, and Hervé Léger, which he acquired in 1999—to his BCBG empire (named by his wife, Lubova, for the French phrase bon chic, bon genre—Parisian slang for “good style, good attitude"). And just this year he showed his first collection under his name alone. Although the “exclusive” new Max Azria Collection is carried in only a small fraction of his 340 worldwide boutiques, its undone linens, ruffled faille, and loosey-goosey shirt dresses received a tepid reception compared to the more familiar (and playful) embroidered linen frocks and slinky silk dresses in the spring 2007 BCBG line.



A master of distilling everything cute and wearable in seasonal trends—be it wistful baby-doll dresses in 1989, suede and layered tulle skirts in 2000, or origami-treated pieces in his past two collections—Azria puts out nearly 4,000 styles per year.



Born in Tunisia in 1948, Azria moved to Paris as a teenager to study acting but ended up designing womenswear. Upon moving to the States, he started a concept store called Jess, selling his own affordable French fashions to Hollywood starlets before launching BCBG in 1989, which has expanded into shoes, handbags, sunglasses, swimwear, a line of fragrance, and menswear.

‘Tis the season to be shopping online

By Marie Boran from silicon republic


13.11.2007 - Households up and down the country will spend on average €1,431 on Christmas celebrations this year and 52pc of shoppers say they will probably head to the internet for their non-food goods. A survey carried out by Deloitte on more than 400 people in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region found that confidence in online shopping has increased greatly: a mere 11pc are worried about internet fraud and online security, which previously have been the greatest barriers to its adoption.


The main reason holding shoppers back from heading to the web is purely tactile: 44pc of shoppers say they prefer to touch a product before making a decision to purchase. Because of this preference to see a product in the flesh standard items such as books, CDs and DVDs sell much better than clothing or cosmetics. Some 70pc of survey participants said they would consider buying music online as Christmas gifts, while only 26pc would buy clothing or shoes.


Interestingly, MP3 player and iPods were only considered by 21pc: perhaps customers are worried about delivery dates in the run-up to the festive season. Bigger, more expensive tech purchases like personal computers and laptops were only considered as online gifts by 15pc of respondents. Although we are a nation of big spenders, coming in at No 1 in Europe’s list of top shoppers, it looks as though 24pc of us will consider heading to online auction sites like eBay in hunt of presents at a bargain price.


Overall the Irish are the second biggest users of the internet in the EMEA region, coming in behind the Germans. While 36pc said that they will buy products and services over the internet, 25pc added that they will be using the web as a price comparison tool before they go and buy in the high street. Despite 52pc of shoppers flocking online to make purchases this Christmas, there purchases may only be one or two books or DVDs in the overall context of their entire Christmas spend: this is why Deloitte forecasts that only 10pc of all spending over the festive will be done online.

Fashion Industry - Larger By Far Than The Film Industry

By Trishia Lopez

Consider the fashion industry, a creative industry larger by far than the film, recorded music and book publishing industries. The fashion industry profits by setting trends in clothing, and then inducing consumers to follow those trends. Trend-driven consumption is good for the fashion industry, because it sells more clothing. In any event, the fashion industry’s ability to create trends is based on designers’ relative freedom to copy. Well, if the law prohibited fashion design copying, then the fashion industry would have a much harder time creating and responding to trends.

Fashion changes daily, so keep your finger on the pulse. Fashion industry clientele include both public and privately-held domestic and foreign apparel manufacturers, designers and retailers. The fashion industry profits by setting trends in clothing, and then inducing consumers to follow those trends. This process leads us to treat clothing as a status-conferring good to be replaced once the fashion changes, rather than as a durable good to be replaced only when all the buttons fall off. So if copyright law were extended to fashion designs, the unique innovation culture of the fashion world might come under intense legal scrutiny. 5055, a bill currently pending before the House which would extend copyright protection to fashion design.


The network allows individuals the opportunity to develop personal profiles to highlight their professional experience in the fashion industry. Certainly, the fashion industry would not function with out warehousing and distribution. Essentially, any business function that is directly relevant to the fashion industry or textile industry is welcome at the Fashion Industry Network. The primary goal of the network is to bring together members of the fashion industry in a friendly setting so that they that they can have open dialog regarding business matters.

Runway models, magazines and red carpets are often the images that spring to mind when someone mentions fashion; but what about all the people working behind the scenes who are bringing ideas to life. Whether you are interested in the creative, technical, or business side of fashion, there is virtually no end to the exciting career paths that you can follow in the fashion industry.

The creative side of the fashion industry offers careers as illustrators, textile designers, costume designers, stylists, and other apparel design positions. In addition, the business side of fashion could serve up a future as a fashion merchandiser, marketing executive, buyer, or trend forecaster. Coming up with new and exciting ways to design a garment is the most important task that a fashion designer or design team must contend with. This is where a fashion design education comes into play.

Fashionising is made up of the fashion lovers, socialites, men-about-town, models, designers, photographers, bloggers, and stylists who make the fashion world what it is. Fashion industry employers are located just about everywhere but most are concentrated in New York City (with over 5,000 showrooms), California (Los Angeles and San Francisco), Miami, London, Paris, and Italy.

Fashion is an art

from The Fashion Gurus

Fashion is an art, like architecture and music. Fashion is an ever-changing phenomenon that captivates the entire world. Though there are signs from earlier, it can be fairly clearly dated to the middle of the 14th century, to which historians including James Laver and Fernand Braudel date the start of fashion in clothing. The pace of change accelerated considerably in the following century, and women's fashion, especially in the dressing and adorning of the hair, became equally complex and changing. Fashion Art historians are therefore able to use fashion in dating images with increasing confidence and precision, often within five years in the case of 15th-century images. Initially changes in fashion led to a fragmentation of what had previously been very similar styles of dressing across the upper classes of Europe, and the development of distinctive national styles, which remained very different until a counter-movement in the 17th to 18th centuries imposed similar styles once again, finally those from Ancient regime France. The habit of continually changing the style of clothing worn, which is now worldwide, at least among urban populations, is a distinctively Western one.


The "Spanish style" of the end of the 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. Fashion The fashions of the West are unparalleled either in antiquity or in the other great civilizations of the world. Men's fashions largely derived from military models, and changes in a European male silhouette are galvanized in theatres of European war, where gentleman officers had opportunities to make notes of foreign styles: an example is the "Steinkirk" cravat or necktie. The pace of change picked up in the 1780s with the increased publication of French engravings that showed the latest Paris styles; though there had been distribution of dressed dolls from France as patterns since the sixteenth century, and Abraham Bosse had produced engravings of fashion from the 1620s.


Although tailors and dressmakers were no doubt responsible for many innovations before, and the textile industry certainly led many trends, the History of fashion design is normally taken to date from 1858, when the English-born Charles Frederick Worth opened the first true haute couture house in Paris. Since then the professional designer has become a progressively more dominant figure, despite the origins of many fashions in street fashion. When people who have cultural status start to wear new or different clothes a fashion trend may start. The terms "fashionista" or "fashion victim" refer to someone who slavishly follows the current fashions (implementations of fashion).


One can regard the system of sporting various fashions as a fashion language incorporating various fashion statements using a grammar of fashion. For some, modern fast-paced changes in fashion embody many of the negative aspects of capitalism: it results in waste and encourages people qua consumers to buy things unnecessarily. Other people, especially young people, enjoy the diversity that changing fashion can apparently provide, seeing the constant change as a way to satisfy their desire to experience "new" and "interesting" things.
