It also offers perfumes and cosmetics as well as accessories such as bags, shoes, socks, and sunglasses. The company caters to markets in Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, Belgium, Russia, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China. Givenchy was founded in 1952 and is headquartered in Paris, France.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Fashion Designer Hubert de Givenchy was born to a wealthy family 1927 in Beauvais, France. He studied at the ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His first job in the fashion industry was when he worked for Jacques Fath in Paris in 1945. He then worked briefly for Robert Piguet and for Lucien Lelong (1946) WHERE HE WORKED WITH LELONG'S ASSISTANTS, PIERRE BALMAIN AND CHRISTIAN DIOR, and finally for Elsa Schiaparelli (1947- 1951). He opened the House of Givenchy in 1952. He named his first collection for Bettina Graziani, Paris's top model. Balenciaga was his mentor, although he never worked for him, whose atelier was just across the avenue George V.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Two women represent the typical Givenchy style of the 50s and 60s: Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy. By furnishing Hollywood movie stars beginning in 1953, Givenchy achieved a popularity like never before. A rather sad event brought global attention to Givenchy dresses. When John F.Kennedy was assasinated, the world witnessed a mourning Kennedy family all dressed in Givenchy clothes. Jackie Kennedy ordered a Givenchy dress for the funeral, which was especially flown in from Paris. It is said, that at that time, the Givenchy atelier possessed individual patterns sheets for every female member of the Kennedy family. In 1955, he introduced separates and then the Orlon-fabric to the haute couture. His designs are elegant and refined.<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">MADE IN FRANCE<br /><br />3, avenue George-V<br />75008 Paris, France<br />Tel.: (+1) 44.31.50.00<br />FAX.: (+1) 49.52.03.62<br />www.givenchy.fr<br /><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/77/65DDA2C41947995C7C879BEBD047B0DB.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" /></a><br /></div>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-65403215187823482672009-07-13T18:03:00.004+08:002010-02-27T01:43:17.039+08:00ABOUT SORELLE FONTANA<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQYR-L0pyqiScvI2SMLNHSaO_l-LnHoicGIMt1vCxFheTBlJLkB7SXr5JsF9pYy-cbHd39ElYKp41gCtm_FN2972bvvQ5_Eid8NbAw1z4JOnNyGOeWEDt5asWQV5Kjv-yGQS-7h-SivLc/s1600-h/120355.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 27px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQYR-L0pyqiScvI2SMLNHSaO_l-LnHoicGIMt1vCxFheTBlJLkB7SXr5JsF9pYy-cbHd39ElYKp41gCtm_FN2972bvvQ5_Eid8NbAw1z4JOnNyGOeWEDt5asWQV5Kjv-yGQS-7h-SivLc/s320/120355.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357884372237259042" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The Sorelle Fontana, creators of the Fashion House famous the world over, belong to a generation without equals. These three strong and united women learned their job with Mamma Amabile the small atelier inherited in 1907 from their great grandmother.<br /><br />The Sorelle Fontana were the first to feel the need to give a fashion in Italy a look of its own, freeing it from foreign influence. With this spirit in mind, once they had conquered the Italian clientele, the Sorelle Fontana took their fashion abroad. In 1951 they went to the United States where their success was immediate. Soon their fashion was recognised in Europe, Japan, Africa and Asia.<br /><br />In the following years, the Sorelle Fontana decided to produce a line of ready to wear fashion in parallel to their high fashion collection. Their objective was to offer a product which could be sold in prestigious shops to a wider market. In Italy their fashion lines include leather and brides. One of the major successes for the Sorelle Fontana came when they celebrated 20 years of activity and collaboration with Japan.<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Sorelle Fontana ALTA MODA S.r.l.<br />Via S.

With four knitting machines they produce knitwear for other labels, until Rosita decides that they must produce their own line. With Rosita creating the shapes and Tai filling in the colours they quickly build their multi-coloured, sophisticated woollen empire.<br /><br />Their first big break came in 1964 when they met designer Emmanuelle Kahn and decided to make a knitwear collection together which they showed in Milan two years later; then in 1967 came their second break, when they presented their collection at Palazzo Pitti. They became world-famous, or, rather, infamous, because Rosita, making a last-minute decision, told the models to take off their bras because they ruined the lines of the black silk jersey dresses they were to model on the catwalk. Missoni didn't realize that under Pitti's blazing lights the tops of the dresses would become transparent, the fashion world was shocked, and they made headlines around the world.<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Missoni<br />Via T.

As a young man he lived travelling between Italy, Austria and the United States, which he considers his second home. He went to school and university in Switzerland where he obtained a degree in Economics. Destined to a brilliant career at New York's Chase Manhattan Bank, Egon decided instead to dedicate himself to his great passion for fashion and design.<br /><br />So he applied and became a student of the Parson's School of Design and at the same workeds at the Macy's department store. In 1975 on showed his first line of pullovers and men's shirts. Thus the Egon von Furstenberg label was born. The company Egon von Furstenberg s.r.l. began its business in 1977 in the United States and in 1983 in Italy. The designer's creative consultancy focused at a variety of trading licences dealing in the production and distribution of products for different target and market segments. The Egon von Fustenberg label, thanks to the designer's rich creativity, is today present the world over.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Egon Von Furstenberg S.r.l.<br />Via Spartaco 8, 20135 Milano<br />Tel:+39-02-55181200<br /> +39-02-55188166<br /> +39-02-55181384<br />Fax:+39-02-55181549.<br />Press Office: Carla Mocenigo <br />www.egonvonfurstenberg.com</span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-46767161982585159002009-07-01T17:51:00.003+08:002009-07-01T18:21:53.274+08:00ABOUT BLUMARINE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1ZcAPKHDW0alkypugb1WkCzDEN-YGS_wgPiTkEo6H1yarptMUvBvoqRbrcdm9Zuw9BvdAoJ3FAbHs-hXuqVBwRB-Ykuo9uGmel5myVBRmWZEDp4NDWNOoeqEfNVOa1tukP4MkugWPKU/s1600-h/blu.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 108px; height: 27px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1ZcAPKHDW0alkypugb1WkCzDEN-YGS_wgPiTkEo6H1yarptMUvBvoqRbrcdm9Zuw9BvdAoJ3FAbHs-hXuqVBwRB-Ykuo9uGmel5myVBRmWZEDp4NDWNOoeqEfNVOa1tukP4MkugWPKU/s320/blu.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353433646173956338" /></a><br />Blumarine was established by Anna Molinari and Gianpaolo Tarabini in 1977, in the town of Carpi in the province of Modena. The name was inspired by the couple's favourite colour and their love of the sea.In 1980 they made their first appearance at Modit in Milan,where Blumarine was named Designer of the Year, which led to their first show at Milan Fashion Week the following year.The 1986 Milan Fashion Week saw the first collection wholly designed by Anna Molinari.<br /><br />As the brand took off and they started to license it to other companies, Blufin was set up in 1988 to act as a holding company.By 2006 royalties accounted for €5.5m of their income.The first Blumarine boutique was opened in the Via della Spiga, Milan in 1990;the company now sells into more than 1000 retail outlets, of which 55 are own-brand boutiques.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Anna Molinari - Blumarine<br />Via G.

Looking for something original which conveys an idea of his product he chose the greyhound: a purebred dog which has always been tied to the history of painting, fast and delicate at the same time, refined, with an elegant carriage - a symbol of dynamism.<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Trussardi, S.p.A.<br />Piazza Duse 4, 20122 Milan<br />Tel: +39-2-760641<br />Fax: +39-2-7601-4249<br />Press Office: Rosi delle Piane<br /><br /></span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-38408967379097828582009-07-01T17:16:00.003+08:002009-07-01T18:22:50.498+08:00ABOUT ETRO<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLVxVvbHqnxVt3iUkZiXBPaA1Aiq0Va8DTrIuUvQQKGRteBYYIS5CAxXo3o-Hu3lCb42w_TA26SYe-AzLUWoSJ_NYrAwc0ZqCBtsI_ve1fX78CIBTrao-nVaGeX8KuZwTCwwnRF8KeUUQ/s1600-h/etro.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 100px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLVxVvbHqnxVt3iUkZiXBPaA1Aiq0Va8DTrIuUvQQKGRteBYYIS5CAxXo3o-Hu3lCb42w_TA26SYe-AzLUWoSJ_NYrAwc0ZqCBtsI_ve1fX78CIBTrao-nVaGeX8KuZwTCwwnRF8KeUUQ/s320/etro.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353423247242263522" /></a><br />The name "Etro" has now become synonymous with style. A lifestle, above all aimed at quality and esthetic refinement. A total look, a universe of elegance originating in Gimmo Etro's innate passion for travels andhistory, which have now become the leitmotive of all the lines. This love for exoticism and for culture has always motivated his research, ever since he began his entrepreneurial adventure as a converter of textiles for the clothing industry founded as Etro S.p.A. in 1968.<br /><br />The motif characterizing the first collection was Paisley, which has be come not only the production masterpiece, but also Etro's hallmark. This line was soon completed by accessories for menswear and womenswear: shawls, foulards, scarve and ties. Once again special emphasis was placed on precious materials, but the creative designs went as far as to explore unusual figurative and chromatic intepretations.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Etro S.p.A.<br />Via Spartaco,3 20135 Milano<br />Tel: +39-2-550201<br />Fax: +39-2-28104457<br />Press Office: Cecilia Brunner Muratti <br /><br /></span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-42283245104791885992009-06-24T18:15:00.003+08:002009-06-24T18:36:33.951+08:00ABOUT BULGARI or BVLGARI<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjheSh5cZbiZ-7o7kyIfweOjNyfH4C_sAZph_-OWRQGZTkW1ZIf_HuEOKWjN6sIuiRWSgf4PSnY0IFQZxjUZ6VfMKAbYJ1dJEDjNGyvNeBezSPecNtiHnCGYE2UM5Q6UOzoos-84LbkOE/s1600-h/BULGARI.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 26px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjheSh5cZbiZ-7o7kyIfweOjNyfH4C_sAZph_-OWRQGZTkW1ZIf_HuEOKWjN6sIuiRWSgf4PSnY0IFQZxjUZ6VfMKAbYJ1dJEDjNGyvNeBezSPecNtiHnCGYE2UM5Q6UOzoos-84LbkOE/s320/BULGARI.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350837474321801618" /></a><br />Bulgari is an Italian jeweler and luxury goods retailer. The name is usually written "BVLGARI" in ancient Roman style, and is derived from the surname of the company's Greek founder, Sotirios Voulgaris (1857-1932). Although the company made a name for itself with jewelry, today it is a recognized luxury brand that markets several product lines including watches, handbags, fragrances, accessories, and hotels.<br /><br />Bulgari jewelry design is distinctive and often imitated (and counterfeited). In the 1970s, many of the more expensive Bulgari pieces (such as necklaces, bracelets and earrings) were characterized by instantly recognizable, bold, almost brutal designs combining large and weighty gold links with black-surfaced steel. Genuine Bulgari items usually have a unique serial number that is registered with the company.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Lungotevere Marzio, 11 <br />00186 Rome <br />Italy <br />Telephone: +39 06 688101<br />Telefax: +39 06 68810400<br />http://ir.bulgari.com</span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-33922009870074113892009-06-24T17:50:00.002+08:002009-06-24T18:14:42.155+08:00ABOUT BOTTEGA VENETA<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIUTUAdkL8Azb3v68dOVIWoI7xRxePfXlekTkeVyCorkhQPH3lzfMnEu8EPIn05hV9aSPWaMqXHcQLjEz2TxYdgSeSDpxWBt-4HURbS_3eHuqiLOf529QPfgzIwEg9wL2EAso1nUS-m7o/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 104px; height: 104px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIUTUAdkL8Azb3v68dOVIWoI7xRxePfXlekTkeVyCorkhQPH3lzfMnEu8EPIn05hV9aSPWaMqXHcQLjEz2TxYdgSeSDpxWBt-4HURbS_3eHuqiLOf529QPfgzIwEg9wL2EAso1nUS-m7o/s320/images.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350830753084798082" /></a><br />Founded in Italy in 1966, Bottega Veneta gained notoriety in the seventies and eighties for its handwoven leather bags. After that, the house struggled to find its identity. British designer Giles Deacon, accessories designer Stuart Vevers, and stylist Katie Grand joined the company in 2000 to attempt to revive its image, but Bottega was already on the verge of bankruptcy. The label regained its footing in 2001, when the Gucci Group bought it and made German designer Tomas Maier creative director. Bottega quickly became a premier luxury label known as much for ready-to-wear as for leather goods.<br /><br />The “intrecciato” weave remains a fashion evergreen and shows no signs of waning, while Maier’s womenswear and menswear—super-luxe, understated, pricey—gathers momentum each season. Goddess draping, clean lines, and soft colors rule the giorno, and although the house shuns obvious logos and labels, their bags still do big business. With more than 100 stores in more than 30 countries, and a gig designing suites at the St. Regis Hotels in New York and Rome, Bottega Veneta is a lifestyle brand for those of us living the good life.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Viale Piceno, 17<br />Milan, Italy (MI) 20129<br />39-02-700-6061<br />http://www.bottegaveneta.com</span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-25209656348330928742009-06-24T16:59:00.003+08:002009-06-24T17:31:02.508+08:00ABOUT RALPH LAUREN<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmiZ1DEjeEYB1ee5ctAD7ibyp09wd8gsagMB5pQeV6ecv9fNilrTevYW_yEpsK_ixZVlAaetSdWCTFSKROrCpaxtiDM_pZcbqJbz7jB7_peacDqGuh1GjoQ-7tMiDPL-1lANCsUtFouxE/s1600-h/LOGO.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 118px; height: 89px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmiZ1DEjeEYB1ee5ctAD7ibyp09wd8gsagMB5pQeV6ecv9fNilrTevYW_yEpsK_ixZVlAaetSdWCTFSKROrCpaxtiDM_pZcbqJbz7jB7_peacDqGuh1GjoQ-7tMiDPL-1lANCsUtFouxE/s320/LOGO.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350817172093055458" /></a><br />Fashion Designer Ralph Lauren has become the epitome of classic fashion. With product lines such as Polo/Ralph Lauren for Men, Ralph Lauren for Women, Double RL, Ralph Lauren Home, and even Ralph Lauren paint, it makes us wonder who the man behind the label really is. <br /><br />Born Ralph Lifshitz on October 14, 1939, in the Bronx, New York, Ralph Lauren has come a long way from his days of sharing a bedroom with two of his brothers. Growing up in a middle-class Jewish family, Ralph and his three older brothers were raised by his mother, while his artist father painted houses.<br /><br />The Polo brand known today as the preppy English-tweed look it conveys did not get to be a million dollar empire because Lauren was lucky, nor because Lauren had an immaculate sense of style. Lauren not only had an innovative mind, but he also knew that packaging and presentation were of utmost importance -- something he didn't need to learn while studying for his business degree.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN ITALY n POLO SHIRTS MADE IN PHILIPPINES<br /><br />650 Madison Avenue<br />New York, NY 10022<br />(212) 318-7000<br />http://www.ralphlauren.com<br />http://www.polo.com/</span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-89826547914141963732009-06-21T18:57:00.002+08:002009-06-21T19:08:33.763+08:00ABOUT ROCCO BAROCCO<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuTKWf1BwHACFrHb0VCUYSIvLFbmtJ801DQXx3p1vJPZp3ylxwgrTe6F6R2W3F6Nur5CQQ9jCZ3uaMGcjf8cYea6_3SndNuh-ii16C0XkXORfiWT3FL2aqiOR5-C4pNsoisTHogrYiUWg/s1600-h/rocco.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 102px; height: 33px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuTKWf1BwHACFrHb0VCUYSIvLFbmtJ801DQXx3p1vJPZp3ylxwgrTe6F6R2W3F6Nur5CQQ9jCZ3uaMGcjf8cYea6_3SndNuh-ii16C0XkXORfiWT3FL2aqiOR5-C4pNsoisTHogrYiUWg/s320/rocco.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349734115012196786" /></a><br />Rocco Barocco, or Rocco Muscariello as he was christened, is an Italian ready-to-wear designer who creates collections for men, women, and children in a variety of ranges from jeans and knitwear to evening wear. Born in Naples in 1944, he moved to Rome in order to follow his chosen career path. After apprenticeship and training at the city's leading ateliers, he eventually opened his own in the Piazza di Spagna in 1968. Success was immediate, and his popularity with the Roman jetset increased his fame throughout Europe. He was soon exporting clothes to France, the U.S., and Japan.<br /><br />Rocco Barocco defines his style as being rigorous, humorous, impudent, and poetically imaginative. He has a taste for the daring and avant-garde in design and detailing, such as his bright red chiffon evening gowns with bold, asymmetrically draped necklines. He also enjoys working with embroidery and gold, in particular. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Piazza di Spagna 81, <br />00187 Rome, Italy.<br /></span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-27310968153146353852009-06-21T18:45:00.006+08:002009-06-21T18:56:40.074+08:00ABOUT DIESEL<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkM04woFcfvf7JTT4nqiWxHu3rptRcXQHPQmfFqBw1BFyDDcNpHaygCUpF6_oHxDAGOIq94DBWHLrUjvUUQAdSXMXRl4Zp4xKC7f7MUSqHtjbDXuxFSUxo0EuFp7Ge06rwTKxuTZ2Uspg/s1600-h/images.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 135px; height: 74px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkM04woFcfvf7JTT4nqiWxHu3rptRcXQHPQmfFqBw1BFyDDcNpHaygCUpF6_oHxDAGOIq94DBWHLrUjvUUQAdSXMXRl4Zp4xKC7f7MUSqHtjbDXuxFSUxo0EuFp7Ge06rwTKxuTZ2Uspg/s320/images.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349730362634904002" /></a><br />Diesel was founded in 1978 by <span style="font-weight:bold;">Renzo Rosso</span> and <span style="font-weight:bold;">Adriano Goldschmied</span> under the umbrella of the Genius Group. Rosso sold his shares in 1985 and took full control. Since then, the label has grown into a cult denim megabrand, expanding its scope to include fragrance, children’s clothing, womenswear, and youth apparel. The tough, street-smart aesthetic is complemented by elaborate ad campaigns, which range from political to kitschy to high glamour, and utilize the talents of photographers like Terry Richardson. Diesel is worth an estimated $1.8 billion and has more than 300 stores in 80 countries.<br /><br />All Diesel collections, including licensed products, are made under the Creative Direction of Wilbert Das. The principal lines are Diesel, the main line, and Diesel Black Gold, a new collection launched in 2007 in the casual-luxury segment. The children's collection is called Diesel Kid. Diesel Denim Gallery offers limited edition denim sold in innovative art-gallery-like spaces. Diesel also offers collections of footwear, intimate (underwear), and bags.

When their father died, Luciano (born 1935) left school to work in a clothing store in order to support his mother, sister Giuliana, and younger brothers Gilberto and Carlo.<br /><br />Luciano developed promotional and commercial expertise as a clerk in a textile store in Treviso. Later, as a representative of small textile establishments, he built up contacts with the Roman knitting magnates who were helpful when the family expanded its operation. As president of the Benetton Group, Luciano led the expansion of family holdings, particularly in the 1990s. He served as a senator of the Italian Republic from 1992 to 1994. Luciano is the father of four children, including Mauro Benetton, marketing director of the Benetton Group.<br /><br />The Benetton family combined and optimized their expertise in marketing (Luciano), production (Giuliana), management and finance (Gilberto) and technical know-how (Carlo). They aimed at the casual wear market with color to catch the eye, first only in woolens but later in cotton. When regional small plants producing stockings came upon hard times, the Benettons bought their equipment at bargain prices. Now they were ready for a spectacular expansion. Between 1972 and 1976, they expanded into all types of clothing, from jeans to gloves to a complete Benetton wear model. Going into the 1990s there were 14 family members in the business.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Benetton Group S.p.A.<br />Villa Minelli<br />31050 Ponzano Veneto, Treviso, Italy<br />Tel. +39-0422-519036<br />Fax +39-0422-519930<br />http://www.benetton.com</span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-11756532512553842752009-06-21T18:07:00.003+08:002009-06-21T18:28:24.268+08:00ABOUT GIANFRANCO FERRE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihH6yKvzdqN78etsaU32KSxEWwmZ-HD6YGRyLyABBW__9mkQ2FqF-vqiefA5ALaR6Ez5K1pofitK6Ghthxq2ts63p_EmRAV-J15hZjkTi61eKkNBTYRWhbzZbZQ3Zmy0YFpSvwi3nsQp4/s1600-h/FERRE.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 93px; height: 70px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihH6yKvzdqN78etsaU32KSxEWwmZ-HD6YGRyLyABBW__9mkQ2FqF-vqiefA5ALaR6Ez5K1pofitK6Ghthxq2ts63p_EmRAV-J15hZjkTi61eKkNBTYRWhbzZbZQ3Zmy0YFpSvwi3nsQp4/s320/FERRE.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349720688764093794" /></a><br />Formally trained as an architect, Italian designer Gianfranco Ferré launched his first signature womenswear collection in 1978, followed shortly with a men's collection in 1982, fragrance in 1984, and a couture line by 1986. Known for its crisp lines, exact cutting, and visible seams, Ferré’s label was influenced by his first trips to Asia. Defined by an East-meets-West aesthetic that vehemently rejects high-fashion trends, the house built its look on rigorously constructed, but casual, garments—like Ferré’s famously crisp white dress shirts decked with layered cuffs, collars, and ruffles. Sharply tailored dresses, suits, and structured ballroom skirts in ultraluxe fabrics and rich colors were recurring players in Ferré’s simple but elegant roster.<br /><br />In the nineties, the house branched out with sportier ready-to-wear, fur, and high-end accessories under FERRÉ Milano, and sportswear divisions for jeans, children’s, and lower-priced accessories—consolidated in 2005 under the GF FERRÉ line. After Ferré’s death in 2007, Lars Nilsson was brought on as creative director for less than a year before being replaced by 6267 designers Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi in April 2008. Their first collection (spring 2009) won acclaim for honoring Ferré’s legacy of controlled femininity while modernizing the label with their stiff, geometric dresses in curve-conscious shapes.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Via Pontaccio 21<br />Milan, Italy 20121<br />39-02-721-341<br />www.gianfrancoferre.com</span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-33457532378087078472009-06-21T18:00:00.003+08:002009-06-21T18:26:27.633+08:00ABOUT HERMES<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQuOHU6H4h5jGl2lXOXCB0ZpigrMUGRYw1kJZzHJC_3PC1c4ZB600ABCejnSKQcOdtEEARxpDQS5XA4GDN7QzgiS8jodd5cBTW5x3DbBYb3RbiRPcKVL3qALTYMuDjs59K_8kIJrqA3iY/s1600-h/herm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 96px; height: 96px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQuOHU6H4h5jGl2lXOXCB0ZpigrMUGRYw1kJZzHJC_3PC1c4ZB600ABCejnSKQcOdtEEARxpDQS5XA4GDN7QzgiS8jodd5cBTW5x3DbBYb3RbiRPcKVL3qALTYMuDjs59K_8kIJrqA3iY/s320/herm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349718949284598082" /></a><br />Emile-Maurice Hermés, grandson of founder Thierry Hermés, summed up the philosophy of his family's celebrated firm in the 1920s as "Leather, sport, and a tradition of refined elegance." Passed down over generations, the House of Hermés has been committed to quality in design and production for more than 160 years. At the dawn of the 21th century, the name Hermés continues to represent the ultimate in French luxury.<br /><br />Hermés began as a Parisian leather goods shop in 1837, making finely wrought harnesses, bridles, and riding boots for the carriage trade. As early as 1855 Hermés was earning accolades, winning first prize in its class at the 1855 Paris Exposition. Thierry's son Emile-Charles established the current flagship store at 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, where he introduced saddlery and began retail sales. Emile-Charles sold his stake in the company to his brother, Emile Maurice, who in turn was the true visionary of the Hermés family.<br /><br />Over the course of the 20th century and into the 21st, the cut of the clothing and the palettes may have changed, but the classic quality of Hermés designs have remained constant. Beyond mere status symbols, the firm's goods are the embodiment of simplicity and elegance in extremely well made and durable products. Whether it be a jacket of meltingly soft leather, a paisley silk dressing gown, a Kelly bag, a valise, or a carré, an Hermés purchase comes with the assurance that it will be stylish and appropriate for a lifetime. With more than 215 Hermés stores around the world and countless boutiques in high-end department stores in Europe, Asia, and the U.S., the Hermés name has certainly gained more prominence, but its goods land not in the hands of the masses but in the chosen few.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN FRANCE<br /><br />24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, <br />75008 Paris, France.<br /></span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-16154901200206331532009-06-21T17:12:00.002+08:002009-06-21T17:37:39.602+08:00ABOUT VALENTINO<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1oq5vGOjO3ccpaitSySo22SyMpHFwSC2e2POCt-xQFwEui41yspDBAhikNEN_AApDeQwtG-HH6vbeDyd02YCVe5rzrsMCWNsfYAWf0Tx8OEbD0bTGEnsg0sd_lk7fGMQAnTeWIMH_jvg/s1600-h/VALEN.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 94px; height: 35px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1oq5vGOjO3ccpaitSySo22SyMpHFwSC2e2POCt-xQFwEui41yspDBAhikNEN_AApDeQwtG-HH6vbeDyd02YCVe5rzrsMCWNsfYAWf0Tx8OEbD0bTGEnsg0sd_lk7fGMQAnTeWIMH_jvg/s320/VALEN.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349711841019954130" /></a><br />Both a reverent hush and an excited clamor simultaneously surround the Italian designer Valentino. He enjoys the patronage of a long established clientéle of wealthy and aristocratic women, yet his clothes are never staid and always express a fresh, current style. His collections and his lifestyle embody the grandeur and serenity of eternal Rome, where he works from his salon near the Spanish Steps, and at the same time represents the point of view of a jetsetting citizen of the world. In 2000 Valentino celebrated 40 years in business. The anniversary was celebrated in characteristic Valentino style in Los Angeles, atop the Pacific Design Center with a slew of celebrities in attendance to honor him.<br /><br />Valentino's devotees flock to him for couture, ready-to-wear, and a vast array of products and accessories including menswear, leather goods, eyewear, furs, and fragrances. He reaches a younger market through his Oliver line of clothing, which is casual but still marked with distinctively refined Valentino sensibility. He produces a special collection of eveningwear called Valentino Night, in which the luxury of his couture designs is adapted for a wider audience. All of his designs, throughout all of his collections, express a singularly opulent view of the world. Valentino's sensibility embraces both timelessness and originality, filtered through a dedication to a luxurious way of life and the commitment to express that lifestyle in his collections. For many Valentino represents not just a style of dressing, but rather a style of living.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN ITALY<br /><br />Piazza Mignanelli 22, <br />00187 Rome, Italy.<br />www.valentino.it.<br /><br /></span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-17603605108178203682009-06-21T17:00:00.004+08:002009-07-18T01:13:56.903+08:00ABOUT BURBERRY<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyM2goNGgrThEcNgp5lMEDaMue9EA0P1LvVV5XWCA8BReyfcmrXTD3l6lLHjZr3Y9PReEoiODIHFXv-2HHqVqFeTbXdNTLsKOxPX_naQ9auAhJyQBfN3C2sVkqPvOtqv8bz9h6VX0yLos/s1600-h/burbee.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 106px; height: 60px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyM2goNGgrThEcNgp5lMEDaMue9EA0P1LvVV5XWCA8BReyfcmrXTD3l6lLHjZr3Y9PReEoiODIHFXv-2HHqVqFeTbXdNTLsKOxPX_naQ9auAhJyQBfN3C2sVkqPvOtqv8bz9h6VX0yLos/s320/burbee.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349703984401742818" /></a><br />Burberry was founded in 1856 when 21-year-old Thomas Burberry (1835 - 1926), a former draper's apprentice, opened his own store in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. By 1870 the business had established itself by focusing on the development of outdoors attire. In 1880 Burberry invented gabardine, a hardwearing, water-resistant yet breathable fabric, in which the yarn is waterproofed before weaving. The Gabardine was patented in 1888. Burberry was the original name, but then soon switched to Burberrys, after many customers from around the world began calling it Burberrys of London. This name is still visible on many older Burberry products.<br /><br />Burberry also specially designed aviation garments. A. E. Clouston and Mrs. Betsy Kirby Green made the fastest flying time to Cape Town from London in 1937 and were sponsored by Burberry.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN UK or LONDON n ITALY<br /><br />29-53 Chatham Place, Hackney, London E9 6LP, England.<br />www.gusplc.co.uk/burberry/html.<br />www.burberry.com</span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-62587436484118638572009-06-20T18:02:00.002+08:002009-06-20T18:38:18.950+08:00ABOUT CHRISTIAN LACROIX<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1_fHfunvxJeYFvI_PIguUq7U8Py2j5O80RD0Qo4oQR6jRce-oio2wHUjYx-iwh1bAdckU6Vtqn4QSv5Wlf4mWLKtpb5A4KM75I2vePjyGIG-YeZzlE_q1Vt5j7sdE6TCzn-UCDdXfX00/s1600-h/logo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 124px; height: 30px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1_fHfunvxJeYFvI_PIguUq7U8Py2j5O80RD0Qo4oQR6jRce-oio2wHUjYx-iwh1bAdckU6Vtqn4QSv5Wlf4mWLKtpb5A4KM75I2vePjyGIG-YeZzlE_q1Vt5j7sdE6TCzn-UCDdXfX00/s320/logo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349348269788384674" /></a><br />Christian Lacroix designs clothes that are glamorous, expensive-looking, and unapologetically dramatic. Such an aesthetic implored fame on the French label, which eventually came to epitomize the eighties through the designer's use of sumptuous fabrics (velvet, satin, taffeta) and overlapping patterns (patchwork, stripes), all of which left buyers clamoring for more. However, for such a momentous name in fashion, Lacroix fell into the industry by chance, as he spent his childhood in Arles, France and enjoyed attending bullfighting events, and then went on to study art history with dreams of becoming a museum curator or costume designer. Yet, he was destined for high fashion. Before launching his own line, he was an assistant at Hermès, collaborated with the couturier of the Tokyo Imperial Court, and then joined the House of Patou in 1981. Five years later, he launched his own couture label with the bouffant, or "pouf," a fantastical puffy skirt that soon became milestone in fashion history for its inventiveness. A year later he expanded into ready-to-wear, and then diversified into menswear in 2004. At one time part of the LVMH universe, the Falic Group bought the label in 2005. Though profitability’s been tricky, Lacroix’s pouf skirts, Renaissance-inspired tapestries, and masquerade-ball tulle and lace continue to earn critical praise. His ready-to-wear, which now includes handbags, fragrance, and shoes, can be found in more than 1,000 international stores, including twenty of his own namesake boutiques (New York opened in 2007 for the label's twentieth anniversary), as well as on the bodies of adventurous red-carpet walkers.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN FRANCE n ITALY<br /><br />73, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré<br />Paris, France 75008<br />33-1-42-68-79-00<br />www.christianlacroix.com</span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168315210615235208.post-47435132901048574862009-06-20T16:52:00.004+08:002009-07-18T00:45:48.920+08:00ABOUT COACH<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEBDTM7MnvoXN9_Z1VbD6-Ul8RcebiggnRR9twLR_vmOeo_c7k2Mu1nN8jPfP1fzl_jdgqIAK-yPqwnzB7Pk3JGZltj3Mf4AifKcNa347OwyZToQyC-1wDxZ19YUqYXuFJPbx7BfeB38U/s1600-h/COACH.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 125px; height: 18px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEBDTM7MnvoXN9_Z1VbD6-Ul8RcebiggnRR9twLR_vmOeo_c7k2Mu1nN8jPfP1fzl_jdgqIAK-yPqwnzB7Pk3JGZltj3Mf4AifKcNa347OwyZToQyC-1wDxZ19YUqYXuFJPbx7BfeB38U/s320/COACH.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349330985623875666" /></a><br />Coach was founded in 1941 as a family-run workshop.

The company has parlayed its prestigious brand name into a world-leading retail empire. In addition to its flagship perfume brand Chanel No. 5--which has long been the world's top-selling perfume--Chanel has expanded its line to include women's fashions, jewelry and accessories, handbags, leather goods, and other products. While its products are sold through third parties, Chanel also operates its own network of more than 80 company-owned retail stores worldwide. There are also more than 120 Chanel shop-in-shop boutiques in leading department stores around the world. Chanel has also begun building up a portfolio of luxury brands, including gunsmith Holland & Holland and high-end French bathing suit maker Eres, bought in 1997. In 2002, rumors began circulating of a possible marriage with the famed house of Hermès. During the new millennium, Chanel has stepped up its purchases in the luxury sector, acquiring A. Michel et Cie, exclusive hat maker for the haute couture set and the famed Les broderies Lesage, which provides embroidery for the haute couture industry.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">MADE IN FRANCE n ITALY<br /><br />135, Avenue Charles de Gaulle<br />92521 Neuilly-sur-Seine Cedex<br />France<br />Telephone: (33) 1-46-43-40-00<br />Fax: (33) 1-47-47-60-34<br />http://www.chanel.com <br /></span>~About Blogs~http://www.blogger.com/profile/16546677763454097284noreply@blogger.com0
