I love that she loves Morocco. Welcome to my country!! Amy, make sure to try the escargot from the street vendors. I know its sounds gross but trust me its better than any 5 star Parisian Bistro. Also, make sure to buy some traditional Moroccan Caftan's, they last a lifetime. Bets of luck on your journey and make sure to avoid crowds of young children (they pickpocket). health & wealth, Sarah veblenhigh.com

Re: Shopping in Singapore: A Guide for the Mall-Adverse

Niki Torres — Sat, 25 May 2013 02:51:55 -0000

Oh Lauren, you should have gotten that bag! Singapore gives tax refund to tourists (T&C's apply) for a tax-free shopping experience. There's usually a booth at the airport where you can show your receipts and they'll give you back any taxes paid for goods you've purchased. Just FYI in case you decide to come back and find something you'd like to purchase. :) You can learn more here: http://www.yoursingapore.com/c...

Re: Mad Men Fashion Recap: Go Speed Racer

Pete Gramsci — Fri, 24 May 2013 23:43:58 -0000

Thank you for all the racing analogies, and fashion
parallels that beguiled this episode. This episode was a roller-coaster of a
ride, but it didn’t feel like an episode that was begging for questions to be
answered, more of why drugs are bad. I started a new work schedule at DISH, and
taking the train home afterwards. Because of this I missed this episode of Mad
Men when it first aired. For me, the best way to catch up on this show is with
DISH Anywhere on my iPad. With it, I have total access to my favorite shows,
and I watch them whenever I want. This helps to make my long train ride home
fun.

I just signed the petition. I have no doubt the Prada empire is discriminatory. I despise watching their men's runway presentation, they only use white male models!

Re: See What Everyone Wore on the amfAR Red Carpet at Cannes

mslewis — Fri, 24 May 2013 20:18:02 -0000

How much longer are these women going to wear see-through dresses and no undergarments? I am soooo SICK of that so-called style. It's nasty and disgusting and totally tasteless. And, yes, I'm old as _uck. Why do you ask?

Enough complaining . . . Rosie H-W looks FABULOUS and she's just about the only one of that entire group who looks fresh, young and lovely. I love her.

Re: Cara Delevingne Apparently Not Impressed by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Lunge-Style Flirting

Amy — Fri, 24 May 2013 19:23:57 -0000

She's probably sick of trustifarian types and actors hitting on her because she looks good. I bet she has a brain, too, and would much rather have someone like her for her personality.

Re: Song of Style’s Aimee Song on Keeping her Day Job, and Getting ‘Burned’ by Competitive Bloggers

Adeola Naomi Aderemi — Fri, 24 May 2013 19:04:32 -0000

Great article, she and Andy Torres are my top favourite fashion bloggers, as she said I love and respect the fact that she has a work outside her blog, it make me believe that if you are really dedicated and no what you want you can do it all.
I am doing three things together and I am bless to have the chance to do so, been an athlete, blogger, speech therapist and fashion columnist is not easy but for me it worth it, that why I love her blog and her sister Dani is the best!!
A perfect example that you don't have to have a trust fund and an Italian photographer boyfriend to make it as a fashion blogger.
Bless your soul Aimee.

Great reviews! Thanks! It would be super awesome if you guys followed up with how they all wore in the next week, if any of them got scaly or rubbed off, or if it was all good! Thanks again!

got a friend that worked for Prada once,in the ufficio stile,not in a show room or a shop,and they forced her to wear Prada at job.She use to wear Westwood or other brand at work,and they do not like it.I can understand the position of Prada,but they were really mean about it.they simply cross a personal border.

Re: CBS Goes Undercover in Bangladesh, Finds Shockingly Unsafe Factory Conditions

gabriela rodriguez — Fri, 24 May 2013 12:55:49 -0000

I'm in Fashion Design school and we learn about these factories in school. So it's not a secret to the designers, they just dont care. Very, very disgusting!

Also, have you noticed that right below your report, Parsons is advertising? What are they saying about these findings?

Re: Get Real-Life Advice from Rebecca Minkoff at Fashionista’s First-Ever Conference

JulesT — Fri, 24 May 2013 12:13:45 -0000

Strangely, the comments to the related "Seven Lessons" article are closed, so I'm posting here. The question that comes up in the comments is "how on earth do you raise money to start a line". I'm in the industry and started and funded companies, so I will try to address it here. In order of most common funding sources for brands that exist today:

(1) Significant family/married wealth - some started out already loaded before they went into the biz. This includes Carolina Herrera, Tory Burch, Lauren Santo Domingo's Moda Operandi, Juicy Couture, Jimmy Choo's Tamara Mellon to name a few. I'd say at least 50% fall into this category. It takes money to make money.

(2) Moderate family/friends wealth - another OPM (other people's money) category. Rebecca Minkoff as I understand obtained significant financial support from her brother. This includes home equity lines of credit from family members.

(3) Founder's Hard Earned Wealth - the designer/founder actually has some money, usually saved up the old fashion way, simply by working hard prior to launching his/her fashion brand. Tom Ford is an example. Another includes former law/consulting/finance/banking professionals who saved up significant resournces before launch. They are also viable candidates for investment because they are highly credentialed (top undergrad and graduate school) and have killer business plans. Maiyet is an example - started by a lawyer who was well connected, highly credentialed, and had a killer business plan.

(4) Star Designer attracts funding - the stars coming out of the design schools are usually funded by industry veterans, such as Andren Rosen (invested in Proenza).

(5) If you are not in the above categories, then you will need to struggle and get lucky.
