American Apparel to go bust?
Looks like the infamous American Apparel owes $80million from a loan they took out last year by a london based investment firm. American Apparel’s value dropped yesterday about 40%. Do you think this may be the end? I suggest bringing down the prices to what they used to be. $35 for a cheap poorly made t-shirt, come on Id rather fork out the $75 to get a designer T that I know the whole world doesn’t own and will last… Have you seen the IPad ADs, try and count how many items the stylist used from American Apparel..zzzzz boring.

Denim lesson
Denim is a rugged cotton twill textile, in which the weft passes under two (twi- ”double”) or more warp threads. This produces the familiar diagonal ribbing identifiable on the reverse of the fabric, which distinguishes denim from cotton duck. Denim has been in American usage since the late eighteenth century.[1] The word comes from the name of a sturdy fabric called serge, originally made in Nîmes, France, by the Andre family. Originally called serge de Nîmes, the name was soon shortened to denim.[2] Denim was traditionally colored blue with indigo dyeto make blue “jeans,” though “jean” then denoted a different, lighter cotton textile; the contemporary use of jean comes from the French word for Genoa, Italy (Gênes), where the first denim trousers were made.

This has been my latest obsession, fashion in motion. I am obviously not alone. All eyes are on the next big thing, how to bring an editorial to life in a short motion piece. Photographers are becoming directors over night. I have been featuring my favorites as I come across them, dig into my archive to take a peek. I have to admit though, I prefer the ‘editorial in motion’ to the actual ‘fashion films’. There is something breathtaking about seeing the beauty of a fashion story be brought to the screen. No dialogue, no forced acting. Just music and fashion, which have always gone hand in hand. And it remains all about the ART.
