Eco-Friendly Collection Of YSL

New York - With conservation and recycling the ultimate power trend, fashion designers across the globe are stepping up to do their part. On Monday, Yves Saint Laurent unveiled "New Vintage," an eco-friendly collection that is made up entirely of remnant fabric from past collections.

The new look features pieces that have been adapted to fit the French fashion house's classic silhouettes and looks. The collection features dip-dyed bustier dresses, embroidered trench coats, separates made in plasticized cotton, a Downtown bag and a sandal.

The limited edition and numbered collection will be sold exclusively at luxury retailer Barney's New York.

Polo Classic Rebirth!

The "New" Lacoste Red! Label from the Spring/Summer 2009 collection of the legendary French brand that invented the polo shirt.

Designed by creative director Christophe Lemaire, this relatively younger fashion statement focuses on slim-fit cuts that are inspired by 1960s London.

“Think of the Mods-meet-Mary Quant, with a dash of street golf with funky Warhol pop colours and musical references from the 1960s and early ’80s hip-hop,” said Lemaire.
For the guys, the classic polo shirt gets revamped with a smaller collar, a narrower placket with two buttons and an extended tail, as well as slim-fit shirts in gingham checks worn under a cardigan in pique jersey.

For the girls, the polo is recast as a boyfriend fit in tangy colours with contrasting ribbing on collar, sleeve and breast pocket. There is also a nylon blouson in window-pane checks that you can fold into a grab-and-go bag. A range of quilted nylon sports bags with matching sneakers complements this new segment from Lacoste.

The slimmer fit and colourful combinations inspired by the ’60s style of this capsule line generate a fresher and younger look in comparison with its mainstream collection. The classic polo is given a new lease of life with narrower shoulders and a trendier fit that will please the fashion-alert Lacoste fan. It’s a great way to wear uncomplicated classic styles with a fashionable twist.

Price Hike On Luxury Goods

The luxury-goods sector is going out of fashion. Aquascutum, whose customers included Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, has threatened mass redundancies just days after renowned French fashion house Christian Lacroix went into administration. Yet the luxury-goods sector continues to trade at a glitzy premium to the wider market.

In the past that premium reflected an assumption the sector's super-rich target customers would be immune to an economic downturn. But this recession has proved that theory wrong. Sales are falling across the sector as even big spenders have cut back, influenced as much by the idea it's no longer fashionable to flaunt wealth as by waning incomes.

Yet since the stock market rally began in March, luxury goods have outperformed the wider market despite a raft of bad news and no sign that extravagant spending is back in vogue. While the larger groups with diversified products, such as LVMH and PPR, are better placed to weather the downturn than individual fashion houses such as Lacroix, their premiums are nonetheless starting to look overdone.

A few months ago Burberry traded at a 10% premium to the European market, now that's more than doubled to 25% while LVMH now trades at a 33% premium to the market compared to 27% at the end of March. Even the premiums of those companies, such as PPR, which trades below Burberry and LVMH due to its less iconic brands, have risen. But trading conditions have shown no signs of improvement.

Granted the demise of Lacroix doesn't come as a huge surprise. The designer never turned a profit in 22 years as his flamboyant haute couture struggled to make the transition to ready-to-wear collections. But it was the decision by major stockists such as Saks and Neiman Marcus to reduce orders for the fall collection that was the final straw.

As the top-end department stores struggle, they are likely to cut back still further on orders which will hit the whole sector. In that context, the trading multiples of the luxury-goods sector are starting to look as highly priced as the haute couture they represent.

French Fashion House Lacroix Wants To Fight Back

Paris - French fashion king Christian Lacroix has pledged to fight to the hilt to maintain his prestigious couture house, declared insolvent this week after falling foul of the global crisis.

In a letter penned by Lacroix to the firm`s 125 staff that was read to AFP by a company source on Friday, the designer said:

"I don`t know what tomorrow will be made of, if indeed there is a tomorrow, but I will do everything to ensure we remain a couture house 200 percent, and to safeguard a knowhow without which the lungs and heart of this house would not exist."

He said he had been designing for free for the last months and that Christian Lacroix SNC owed him 1.2 million euros.

He also slammed the "shareholders` strange management," later in the note dubbing it "catastrophic."

Acquired from the world`s leading luxury giant LVMH in 2005 by US duty free giant Falic, Christian Lacroix SNC said in a statement Thursday that it had declared insolvency before a Paris court due to "the sharp downturn of the luxury market."

The company "has filed a voluntary petition with the Tribunal de Commerce de Paris to put itself under the protection of the courts" but intends "to present a continuation plan" and "to maintain its business operations throughout the proceedings."

Declaring insolvency is a first step towards bankruptcy protection.

A company spokesperson said the court would hand down a decision within a week. Lacroix, 58, was unavailable for comment.

Celebrated for his exuberant swathes of lace and embroidery, and patchworks of fabrics in vibrant colours, Lacroix hit the catwalks over 20 years ago with dramatic designs inspired by the costumes of his native Arles in the south of France, and the Camargue, with its gypsies and bullfighters.

But sales have failed to match the excitement generated by each of his collections and Thursday`s announcement is a strong setback for the couture house.

After the 2005 buy-out, the company launched "an ambitious and costly restructuring plan to reposition the brand offering to higher end collections," including the opening of two US stores, one in Las Vegas, one in New York.

"Unfortunately, this longterm strategy for repositioning of the brand was dramatically hindered by the current and ongoing world financial and economic crisis which severely hit the luxury sector," the company said.

Fashion Transformation

A truly trendy outfit often requires one bold statement piece: this can come in the form of an eye-popping color, a bold print, an interesting fabric, or a daring accessory. By keeping most of your ensemble basic yet stylish, this original accessory will be able to stand out and give your outfit the perfect balance of chic and vogue. Too many statements in one outfit can put you further at risk of entering potential ensemble clashes, so save your best pieces for different outfits. You don’t need to wear them all at once. With this in mind, lets talk about the bold statements of this season:

Oversized Necklaces. From the editorials of every magazine to the collection of every runway, big costume jewelry is one of the most popular strands. No doubt, a timeless strand of pearls modeled after French fashion designer Coco Chanel is always a classic twist to a simple dress or preppy blazer, but this season, the fashion world wants gigantic jewels and heavy metals. Long pendant necklaces and strands of metallic chains can add a great element to your outfit, but to truly make a statement, try bib necklaces (hate the name, love the necklace) that sit perfectly over the neckline, piled with massive gemstones. Neutral combinations of silver, black, grey and bronze can be year round pieces, but avoid solid colored plastic pieces. Designers from the likes of Lanvin, Erickson Beamon, Badgley Mischka, and Louis Vuitton have crafted these necklaces to perfection, but their cost can be anywhere upwards of $1,000. Fortunately, retailers like Banana Republic and J.Crew are currently stocked with great bold pieces at a much more wallet-friendly price. Simple dresses pair well with these necklaces, often by adding a contrast that perfectly offsets the dress, but even the most casual white tee can become an instant couture look when topped with a bold statement such as this.

Scarves. After a little more than a month in Paris, I now know why French women are known for their scarves. What might quite possibly be the most practical accessory, here, scarves are used for much more than just cold weather. One might even say that it is an unwritten rule of Paris to wear a scarf with every outfit, no matter the season. Though we have almost shed all of our winter wear, I encourage everyone to hold on to the scarf. Granted, in 80° weather, an extra layer of heavy wool is hardly spring fashion, but light fabrics can be just as much a part of spring as a pair of gladiator sandals. To stay classic, a small printed silk-like scarf tied in a triangle around the neck, or simply knotted into a big loop like a loose necklace can add a great touch to any outfit. The other option is to wrap a big linen scarf like a cuff around the neck. These linen or pashmina type scarves can be worn in soft greys and browns, but if the scarf recently designed for Louis Vuitton’s Stephen Sprouse Spring 2009 collection in hot pink linen with pop-art rose print is any indication, scarves of bright colors and light-weight fabrics are perfectly acceptable for spring weather.

Hot Pink. With Louis Vuitton’s scarf also comes this season’s theme color: hot pink. If it is any sign of this bold hue’s popularity, hot pink has made its mark on the Spring 2009 runways of designers like Marc Jacobs, Badgley Mischka, and Matthew Williamson. Williamson, most recently acclaimed for the H&M collaboration that flew out of his stores April 23, outfitted Heidi Klum in a hot pink satin suit for the season finale of Project Runway. One piece in a bright shade of pink is enough to make your outfit stand out – neon-pink flats are the ‘must-have’ here in Paris.

A good closet needs basics, but once the essentials have been assembled, it is time to look for the accents. Have fun experimenting with bright colors, patterns, fabrics, and bold accessories; as long as the rest of your outfit is basic enough, the possibilities are endless and few pieces are too bold.
