Barneys New York Wants Out Of The Shoppes At Palazzo {Luxist}
May 7th 2009 4:37AM I'm not a legal or finance person but one of my simple suggestion is for Barneys to open its online store to international shoppers. Hello, internet is for the world! I can't even get my Leonello Borghi for Coop bag coz they won't accept international credit cards or paypal. Same goes for snotty fashion retailers who just wants to sit on others efforts (designer brands) and wouldn't stretch a leg to earn the buck. Hey c'mon shipping internationally cannot be that hard!
G Is For? Gucci Sues Guess {Luxist}
May 7th 2009 3:45AM Yes Guess have gone too far, it is already a giant in its own niche and has been doing the misleading design for quite sometime. Guess has no reason to immitate anyone's design as hommage. Clearly it is to profit and support its ever growing market through the heritage of others just cause their design house is running out of creative juices! I myself have a laptop bag that always gets mistaken as Gucci. Not to my detriment though! LOL! Further, the fashion industry is just cramming with brands now recycling designs over and over, making "art for the masses" which is not bad at all but as I've said, if the intellectual property of someone (Gucci in this case) is taken advantage of by someone who is clearly having a field day out of it, something must be done. Gucci is a legacy, Guess is depreciating it. Guess should look back to its roots and regain its originality. Bottomline, Marciano is not Guccio Gucci or Tom Ford.
Heidi Klum Jewelry Lawsuit Dropped {Luxist}
Oct 9th 2008 3:57AM Too bad for consumers who paid the exhorbitant prices of these pieces believing them to be originally designed by this famous personality. This case is not only between companies who undoubtedly cashed in through their propagandas. What about the buying publics' interest? Now people who bought these pieces will never be sure if it ever was worth their investment. Like 100 years from now, in an auction, what will the they say " A lovely piece of so and so designed by the legendary Ms. so and so going for this much price. But take note it was never really proven if she indeed originally designed these pieces."???
Naomi Campbell ready for motherhood {ParentDish}
Sep 11th 2008 7:15AM Stop being so cynical. It is her right and if she can and if she has the capability, how ever did u have the right to say or think that she is not deserving of it or to judge how she will be with it? If she screws up, there's always the society to intervene. Hopefully u're a member with all your vitriolistic pessimism. Give this girl a break! I thinks its just what she needs, a new pair of eyes that will look at her in a very different manner than all those who admire or hate her. MAKE IT A GIRL NAOMI AND TEACH HER TO WALK, TIGRESS!
Bang & Olfusen Forecast Turns Dim {Luxist}
Jul 9th 2008 5:35AM yeah... too bad. but the issue here is not only durability and aesthethics, from which B&O cannot be questioned, its about keeping upbreast with market demand and ground breaking technology. why don't they have LCD's or OLED's? Why isn'th there a BEO9000 DVD or Blu-ray player? I guess its because of the quality and design that is so timeless and enduring that they don't want to risk it on experimental stage techs. But, hello... thats what they did a decade ago and it was amazing! 'Guess they should wake up and rekindle their passion. By the way, the phone Serena with SAMSUNG and it's so called "intuitive design"(where o where... it's plain grotesque!), not a miss, its totally CRAP forever!
Win A John Ferdinand Bracelet {Luxist}
Jul 8th 2008 10:06AM i'm not eligible but i'd like to comment nonetheless. men are in nature, i believe, insecure. thus, the history of uniformity and armies when the world are still ruled by them. being given the sole responsibility of making decisions for everyone, they resent individualism over fear of being found lacking. this very nature fathered agression, tyranny and violence. as our age advances and women start filling up the corporate world, a new age dawned wherein men are allowed, even required to be sensitive, outspoken and unique. There couldn't be more a proper time for these embellishments to come out but as everything new the taste and styling should be nothing less than pragmatic to protect the age old perception of masculinity and ingenius to nurture the pride of this sex.
