900 more bottles from the Premier Grand Cru expression of the brand, which was made exclusively from Grande Champagne sides, then between 30 and 50 years of age. This is in bottles, which presented a draft "twisted".

The last 900 bottles are a special limited edition: a mixture of 30-50 cognac from three different regions, which is made 50% Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne another 30%. Each bottle is presented in a wooden box lined with cherry silk.

Although Gucci has chosen mixtures themselves, the producer has not been made public behind these cognacs. However, Ribbentrop suggested David, Senior Associate Director of ABEC, "The family has been making Cognac for over 236 years."

Originally launched in 2010 to life, a part of New York, Giorgio G Cognacs have been offered since at charity events, but after Ribbentrop, "there was no plan to actually sell them at retail."

designers make their mark on the fashion scene

  Can you say Celine Chloe? Would you tell if a handbag was Mulberry, Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs, if you have spotted on the train? What is a copy? If you are wearing a woman walking into a restaurant a T-shirt Frankenstein did, you would be able to identify the signature of the designer? What rottweiler for a sweater with a hook-naked?

Taken literally, a "claw" just that. A logo, monogram or motif that is the hallmark of the fashion house in question. But there is so much more to those to worry about, it is a symbol that the wearer is aware of the fashion world.

While held in the past designers logo merchandise calculated on the top, out in those days of graphic design, words and letters are not the only way to spread out a garment. A digital photo printing, illustration or even an abstract pattern can be easily identified as belonging to a particular designer in the show days parades and cultural style-obsessed blogger.

London designer Holly Fulton has his name on the back of its striking patterns printed sixties through the swirling accuracy of Art Deco and Modernism built influenced sent interwoven with motifs such as red lips and irrefutable evidence. In recent collections Fulton pulled all the reasons in the hand, then digitally manipulatedthem fit over clothing, such images have expanded 3D embellishment.

It explains why printing has become such an important issue - especially in the collections of designers in London: "I think it allows designers more flexibility to create something unique with their writing [to].

"Many possibilities have been exhausted with respect to the cutting and it is difficult to innovate in this area, while the model allows you to build something specific and develop a unique visual style and identity to do."

Fulton adds that in terms of methods, "Digital printing is an ideal way for the translation, he opened the scope and range of the base and designs available for designers and substantially changed the way that copy is used in fashion."

In the lexicon of fashion, digital printing has a photographic image - either realistic or manipulated with software - transferred directly onto the fabric. Often a piece of clothing is the canvas is too big for a complete picture, rather than a repeated pattern of small. Technological advances allow developers to push this "visual writing" and to benefit from it.

Fans of Christopher Kane, for example, could, if they can not afford £ 2,000 for a dress from her collection can cost up to € 200 would be a Frankenstein Boris Karloff get t-shirts that encapsulate the theme of his Spring / Summer collection makes . Or maybe in the next season a luxurious black hoodie is printed roses them for a steep but not inaccessible, only 300 pounds.

Often have images and models are the "brand" of choice for designers, to the point where even the revered design houses Givenchy and Balenciaga him. Jessica Bumpus of Vogue.co.uk stroke current trend for printed garments signature print return in particular: "The Balenciaga sci-fi drivers [Fall / Winter 2012], which - Kenzo - began enthusiasm for the sweatshirt Well, all high. end labels are sweatshirts, I think that has become almost a logo in some respects. A few years ago we started to slide sweatshirts and now everyone is doing it to see. I think it's a nostalgic thing and now are We stuck somewhere between the end of the nineties and Millennium in our SEO fashion - and there is something strange and strangely seductive novel on the logo again. "

Ah yes. Kenzo term. This changes everything. This is what unreconstructed, embroidered, roaring big cat - with an even bigger KENZO logo emblazoned it heralds the return of "logo design". It sold in record time and was of street-style photographer adorns the chest of someone who is a fashionable person, blogger to the editor to off-duty models snapped.

Total contributions were devoted followed by a decrease in the best methods. He is back for the autumn / winter season in more colors and even a hooded version.

Interestingly, in parallel to these artistic interpretations of logos and emblems couture, streetwear lifted - under the guise designs by Brian Lichtenberg and Boy London - logos have never been greater, both literally and metaphorically. When children perform street fashion often follows the trickle-down theory of evolution or bladder.

If you are asked if you never take the plunge and switch off completely logoed products, enthusiastic Holly Fulton: "I love the brand and the power of a distinctive identity Personally, I love Moschino from the eighties and nineties - it works and its logo. signature in all.

"The gross and flagrant with a huge logo on something I really liked in nature., It has the sense of humor, tongue-in-cheek, that I love and that I am firmly convinced that you need a little fun with of fashion. "

so long and thanks for all fashion

  I still remember exactly where I was when I was created for Jezebel. It was on 15 January 2008 and unfortunately I was living in San Francisco, in the absence of a relationship in a failing economy, working a job that I was a failure. Later that night, I frantically wrote an e-mail tips@jezebel.com - and you are always with us, the advice is a key for all mailboxes "editors - offer my services as a kind of, I do not know, undercover appropriate model. I was so sure of myself, so that in so presumptuous caution, my subject line ended with a question mark.

I do not have a 'po' I did not know anyone. I was just a reader of the site since its launch a regular reader, and I knew I liked Dodai and Moe and Anna, and her image of sophisticated brand of sex joke. The next morning at 6 clock, I flew to New York for the first time to the work of the Fashion Week. I feared more than any e-mail my buddy talked me money - our problem was simple, we do not - before I finally into bed. I stayed up all night packing and avoid the argument, and just before I leave for the airport, I hit send. Five hours later, when my plane touched down, humming my little Nokia. It was a voice message asking to meet Moe. I had no idea, would like to change my life.

I started to write this month. After a column for a little over a year, I am a regular employee was - two shifts per day, give or take. And six months later, I was able to leave my job and earn quite a living as a freelance writer. Somehow I now contribute to this site for five and a half years.

Daily Blogging requires an obsessive attention to detail neurotic level, but the information that you need to absorb and package is mainly decoupled from a broader context. I have always loved this job because it was very difficult - it requires attention and energy and bloggers are the last people to have the time during the day to read blogs - but also because once the day was over and I closed my laptop, I could not quite aside and let my job be carried away by the next wave of news. Once I hit my mind was my new, of all the thousands of posts I've written since 2008, I can count them on the fingers of one hand, which kept me awake at night.

All human communication is somewhere on a continuum between the ephemeral and the permanent, between editable and stasis. The newspapers are ephemeral, but static. Thus Snapchats. (This is probably my least favorite combination of features, which is why I do not do much tweet.) A book is permanent and static, which is better, but more difficult. Wikipedia is permanent but change. Blogs are ephemeral (person, in fact person, bed old posts) and modified (each side is adjustable, tweakable, perfectible - if you believe in perfection as a value). For reasons that are probably unique, my personality, as a writer, I found this heady combination. The ephemeral of performance anxiety that paralyzes me regularly removed in other areas. And changeable nature means that almost every mistake in my prose could be polished out.

I was proud to work, and I tried to approach them with a sense of responsibility to the readers and the truth. Because there is too much time to do things when you have time to write a permanent Google, because if you are there in your blog no guardian of the institutional memory but himself, no press editor context other than that you can easily afford, has my memory rather full of data points that the actual non-entertainment value I never had enough time to evaluate. Paul Janka. Lori Gottlieb. Alexey Vayner. 2009 loss from American Apparel. A detailed chronology of events that led to John Galliano sacking in 2011. Kira Plastinina. Zahia Dehar. Any blunt (and every Insightful) thing Karl Lagerfeld said. Terry Richardson. Billion below details and interviews that informed the iceberg published several stories below the water line off-the-record. Minutae media and society. In this job, you accept and absorb and absorb, and you can never dry out completely. I think I'll take a little time to have to optimize everything, and try to see what it means.

I like working with this offer. Besides Dodai Stewart, I think I am now the oldest Jezebel blogger. I got the busy hands of some very talented writers in a variety of publications over the years, but Anna Holmes and Moe Tkacik a risk on me - it all those years ago - a detailed and very green 21 years, I doubt I would be in able, now the vocal writing and magazine cover stories villages have pieces, and I'm not sure if I have made a request to the AMF nonfiction writing that I will fall from the University of Iowa. I have this website and all of its employees has become a great debt of gratitude, the online conversation about women in a way that the fashion (and profitable) expand to imitate. For insisted that it is possible, political and Angelina Jolie and sexism and Honey Boo Boo and the Pope and all the dull (and insightful) things are not contradictory Karl Lagerfeld coverage and maintaining interest in the simultaneous things in themselves. For staking out bold assertion that a woman is not in a pink box of make-up tips and style - or want to read or write these things to love but it is not a sin either. Working at Jezebel has taught me that the only sin is his audience condescending.

Among the thousands of messages I posted here over the years, there are many that I would rather never see again - hastily thrown-together Fishwrap. But there are some that I feel a certain pride. I was glad that Jessica Coen, still undaunted me, encouraged to write this. I am glad I broke the story of the non-payment of a Marc Jacobs underage model "looks" during Fashion Week, in apparent violation of labor laws. (The following year, the company paid his models looks calm again, and for the first time began to pay his models. The model in question since been hired for several campaigns Marc Jacobs.), I am proud to have written fashion, food, and body image. And Karen Mulder, and sociable. I am proud to have framed debates about sexual harassment and working minors. I am very proud to have been in a strange way of journalists whose public profile plagiarized far above me. Perhaps more than anything, I'm proud of the work that I (and many interns Jezebel) to quantify and monitor I made the issue of diversity in fashion. All of these things remind me, in my darkest moments during my tenure here, I have at least tried to do more good than harm. For me, the way has never discussed or covered seams celebrity wore which brand: it was the material culture of work and who leads it, and does the money, and - most importantly - it was about women. Fashion is of course a connection with the review of these things. But the last half dozen years, it was me.

Mixtape of the Week: Chanel West Coast - Now you know

  Apparently she first found fame as a cast of the MTV reality show Fantasy Factory Rob Drydek. This was and is a show that is not in disarray following components:. "A team of people to do new things every week, one day come, they can work on a franchise business on another day. They could go ride a bull or someone take burritos to people." This description comes directly from IMDB. I did not invent them. How could I? My brain is not damaged. Nothing is so difficult that you might fall on my head and keep me alive, rather than delayed. But I will not have the hair on MTV to a machine, despair and eventual mental collapse in the 21st Divided century provides, we gots mixtapes is to discuss!

Once you get past porn on the sub-idea star names to get porn star and shines over-think Chanel West Coast, whose real name is Chelsea Chanel Dudley, has the same on-the-ball eye make-there is no money hunger, Azealia Banks and Nicki Minaj to drive. Now, let's calm down for just a second, I'm not saying that the west coast is wise in the same league as banks Minaj talent. They are not even playing the same sport. Lyrically and musically they are stylistically feet above him. Hell, it's not even as marketable them, especially not the incredibly beautiful Nicki. But the want is the same thing. Fuck knows what his story is, but I'm willing to bet that this is not the Harlem whip-smart education lived by the banks or the junkie father was from Minaj. It is simply his desire for fame is familiar.

Although she keeps good company, with features Snoop Dogg (yes, still no call Snoop Lion), French Montana, Ty Dolla $ ign and Robin Thicke, aspirations diva not seem as inevitable as the above.

There is no popping coochie on Now You Know (listen below), because it is strictly forbidden as it tell you. If this is the case, it remains on the dance floor. And feelings like these are interspersed with numbers from-de-la-down as an opener Pursuit Of Happiness. It begins with a quote from the movie of the same name, tells The Fresh Prince to leave his young son nothing to stand in the way of his dream. Then the first words of toilets: "I remember when nobody believed in me, but now I'm 'bout to prove' em wrong."

His cadence and rhymes are similar to the others by Angel Haze future star who shares superficial similarities with the West Coast, they slowly merge of papers on the theme, rapid-fire attacks. It never reached the speed or how violent intensity Haze is on a track like "Werkin Girls," and there is much less bile. And it's not as smart as everyone Haze by far. But that's what's nice about the West Coast, especially in this band: It's really sweet. On the first play already mentioned, the hook is a honey, poppy melody, "Glamorous" by Fergie recalls. But smarter.

She has a good ear for beats that complement their voice and has the chops to run the pace comfortable, if not creative. Hooks galore, too. "Mazel Tov" will not make him any friends in the ADL offices, but it is a club of infectious rhythm and a catchy chorus crazy. Mean head on his shoulders, that they not only his time in the club trying to get pictures last night party. West Coast has a good idea of ​​what kills on the dance floor and an instinct for Rihanna brand wickedness of the radio-friendly. It takes deep pockets to them in the studio with someone to get him the kind of songs, but now that you know is imperative to its potential. They come wrapped on the cover of the pretty girl with big breasts in mesh, stay for the considerable talent promises.

"I'm all about their characters," she spits on "Party", a collab with honey cocaine. It does not lie. Of course there are references Chanel in all directions. Sometimes they weigh the album down and personality Westcoast scattered orders. This is unfortunate, because it really is too good to remain anonymous. Even when he says: "Earn money with my brain, not my coochie" if they really wanted to use his head, she began to forge this singularity now.

"Get fit, green manufacturing / Smoke draw as a teenager pastor" intelligent, but of course we have heard before. It's the same thing materialistic one-two punch, one-two punch, the Datpiff servers over stuffs. But it is not so much a recycling trope as a girl. Arrogance in the other She takes notes and the purchase of own power by the immersion in the culture and habits of the powerful, while all the remaining poppy and wholesome. Even at the highest point where they beat Bigger Than to stroke the fuck of her vehemently to stay away, she is friendly and safe.

That's exactly what I love most about you now know how. It's a girl-next-door-ness wise-cracking of the band and the west coast of usually far from being a condescending active radiation apart from his peers, who have the best chops. It is contagious, even more attractive and promising him a back-and-corner. You must work on the subject or narrow face with the primordial ooze Kim wannabe losers, but for now, you now know, is quite low and hooks to meet the dance floor conservative Coochie Popper.

A work of art with "Allah" written in of modern Arabic, framed or mounted on a watchglass and molded in a red coral necklace and white stones Chalcedony - what happens, when an artist and an expert work together in jewelry.

When artists Salva Rasool jeweler Aneel Gajaria met a few months ago, she was skeptical of his paintings is incorporated into jewelry. But Gajaria has been in the jewelry business for 17 years and provided creative opportunities in the work of the Rasool.

"I was not initially interested in the project because I can not imagine, on a piece of two to three centimeters," says Rasool, imitated with two fingers, how tiny is the support. "My paintings are colorful and powerful because I use vivid textures on a big screen."

But Gajaria wanted the artist to make. "When he told me his work, I was very impressed and was confronted with the challenge," the 49-year-old artist says.

Four years ago Gajaria had the idea to introduce the painting statement during his meeting with local artists, jewelery during a pilgrimage in Rajasthan. The quality and accuracy of their paintings with scenes and romantic devotion indians, left amazed. He introduced himself with a mini-canvas of these traditional scenes clips.

"But I knew that my clients Gulf would not wear jewelry with human forms," ??says Gajaria who has lived in Dubai as a child, and was of a Muslim's mentor. "While I offer for an artist looking for something unique in the field of Islamic art."

Former students of Sir JJ School of Art, Rasool has won appreciation worldwide for its modern approach to Arabic calligraphy with an Indian spirit. His paintings have been exhibited in Toronto in Jakarta, including art centers of New York, London, Tehran and Mumbai.

"The Necklace" Allah "was traditionally worn by many Muslims, but this is the first time that Islamic art of contemporary fashion and jewelry have been made," says Gajaria.

Convinced of the potential and attractiveness of the jewelry he commissioned five works rasool last January. To paint on canvas 3x2 inches, the artist creates his own tools and small metal parts cut springs and opposite ends of the brush-shaped, among others. In the coming months, two chains in an art exhibition in the United States will be issued, and three new creations will be presented by Gajaria.

Each miniature is personalized, signed and certified by Rasool, so that each chain is a work of art. The price depends on the pearl Gajaria used precious metals, and each piece is estimated at RS40, 000 and one lakh.

Although most of his work includes verses or letters of the Arabic alphabet Qur'an, Rasool listening is broad, and its customers are mainly based in the West. The use of earthy colors and abstract elements in his paintings also appealed to the lovers of contemporary Indian art.

Pushing the limits of traditional Arabic calligraphy, Rasool aims to reach out to dispel a cosmopolitan crowd and misunderstandings about Islam through art.

This season, many designers discuss the need for appropriate clothing sew the resonance on the red carpet and in the context of real life, real women. The idea that fashion should can not be immune to life practices to some, but not for new Lagerfeld. He always looked like the kind which, although rooted in tradition, must embrace and implement change. For fall, he approached this faith in the title of his show - "The Old World and the New World" - and used to drive a nail all the customers have an ancient theater, its stone walls.

Everything seemed in dusty long established, which was in fact succeeded excellently, no less conscious surface texture embroidered tweed thick.

Peter Ruis, the man, the John Lewis store in stiff best for its delicate cardigans and comfy slippers known transformed into a fashion Mecca, leaves the store to become the boss of Jigsaw.

After almost nine years at the retailers, six in a responsible manner, Ruis left side of the clothing business in good shape. Selling fashion head 1.1 billion euros in the previous year, an increase of EUR 700 million in 2005, after a series of rave reviews for his own label and branded designer collections.

Andy Street, managing director of John Lewis, said everyone would be sad to see go Ruis. "Peter has revolutionized our offers fashion, home and technology," he said.

Ruis, who also worked at Marks & Spencer, Jigsaw begins in September, raising hopes that he say some magic on the manifold 61 branches, analysts, dull and tired is to sprinkle.

Jigsaw has its status as a niche brand for the UK high street lost by Maureen Hinton, a retail analyst at sentencing. She said: "It seems stuck in a rut and got an air about this yesterday ... He just needs someone to go out and shake up and rejuvenate."

"[Peter Ruis] has a good background of the brand. He understands what brands need to do to stand out."

Jigsaw has the potential to be a niche brand, such as Hobbs and Ted Baker, she added, "but now it's just a little boring."

Ruis said he was "very pleased to join such an iconic British brand," he said, was a "huge untapped potential".

Edited by Ruis, John Lewis clothes are a topic of discussion on the way side. He left the line with a long-standing reputation as UK Jacques Vert label, and introduced a number of new collections well received, such as Somerset, Alice by Temperley, and the cheapest brand children.

lessons from the elegant Annabel Hodin

       There are many women who identify as it was in a taxi might disappear a sandal Marni. Not so many of those who would manage to track down the last pair in the sale. And even fewer who know where it would use for the heel and platform shaved down to a manageable level.

There is nothing Annabel Hodin not about clothes and how people know from their best side. So it should. She is a stylist, but not just the kind that beautiful celebrities prettier (or in some cases, terrible) makes, although the former constantly tweaking any of Rod Stewart was Rachel Weisz.

But it also works with "normal" people: business, professional women, housewives ... all who look better or just want to climb out of a rut. Honest but friendly, intelligent and sensitive, they identified digs under the skin of customers and what works for them both psychologically and physically. "I'm not uncomfortable," she said. "I am a new comfort." If a woman has a pair of orange knee-high boots, for example, it will not throw them at the stake, nearest much as she had in love, but to find alternatives that chic provide the same jolt of color and sexy, youthful extravagance "until the orange boots make their way to the very back of the closet to skip and finally. " She knows the difference between striking and try hard, and that is surprisingly rare.

In the late fifties, she is a prime example of what it preaches. Slim and tight, she swims four times a week and stretching for 15 minutes every day: "I do not think there is any point embarking on a diet that you can not keep." She holds her makeup minimal - a greasy blue line on the lid, which is softer than flicks cats, a little of the base and a nude lip with an orange instead of pink suspicion. Buy your own killer this season is a cut Fifties, cropped flared jacket with a round neckline neat - perfectly prim, aside from being naked in pink shiny leather. He came to camel - but it would be better predicted. "It took me to make 10 trips to Miu Miu, before I decide. Fault I have no money." It seems terrible of course, but come fall, "if everyone who has the pink coat or jacket the thing to do will be to lay it to rest for a while. "Until that day of fear, she wears it with old boyfriend jeans from Gap (this season is too short for them), and these Marni sandals." A block heel is flattering. This all makes legs look slimmer. "

Anyone interested in clothes, can happily spend hours in his company, the learning to avoid shops, forms and labels swapping notes on T-shirts (James Perse, sometimes Gap and occasionally Zara), Botox (she goes to an eye doctor, "because he is very cautious in this area of ??the eye "), says seamstresses (she gets almost everything tweaked) and debating whether Cos is as good as any. On balance, it does not think. Forms by Celine inspired, are good, "but the wrong tissue. Unless you're Swedish or a little unusual looking, it does not quite work out in the end. [Made]"

Do bags Cos meet the standards, however. There was a mango-colored leather tote this summer, with many smaller leather pockets inside - she loves those with multiple compartments ...

It is his in-depth knowledge of what is on the road and in Harvey Nichols makes it available - and frugal, even if customers have large budgets, it will not allow overspending. "Too much can be overwhelming., You need to get everything out of your closet regularly and try new permutations, partially to get the most out of it, but to keep things fresh."

His eye is challenging, we decided, from his father, an art historian and esthete JP Hodin. "The way my parents lived, was not about having a lot of money, but we were taught to appreciate excellence."

At 21, after reading English at King's College London, it was on the road by Anna Wintour, then fashion editor of Harpers & Queen rookie who discovered booked on several occasions. "Maybe it was my orange hair," Hodin ventures. "I love Anna. She was a great friend and very naughty in those days."

Although they never got around to marry (the father of her first child died), has two children Hodin - Samson, a personal trainer, and Ruby, 25, has cerebral palsy severity of the brain. She brought it on his own, which had its challenges. "Last year I was in the hospital with ruby ??in the Department of Rehabilitation of the hip and there is a client on the phone ungettable want to dress for the BAFTA." You'd think they could lose Patience "But I like to go out and find the challenge Rubin again that jacket sold. This is what I call working through trauma. I know., How important the right outfit can" Hod, one might say, is in the details.
