Cabaret Chic On The Roll

Ever since Liza Minnelli sang and danced through Bob Fosse's 1972 movie Cabaret, fashion designers have regularly channelled their inner Sally Bowles.

And now the fashion sorority is again turning to the fishnet-clad cabaret singer for inspiration. Not only is tuxedo-dressing back in the spotlight, so too are flapper dresses, sequins, white shirts, tailored micro shorts, hot pants, bows and feathers.

Given the array of vaudeville-inspired garments on the racks, it is hardly surprising we are mixing our white shirts with our bow ties, tiny shorts and fishnets, and our tuxedo jackets with our sequined skirts and dresses.

In fact, the current cabaret looks merge the androgynous Emcee - all top hats, tails and heavy make-up - and the seductive Sally Bowles - in suspenders, eyelashes to-die-for, and that black bowler.

All this divine decadence was highlighted in a knock-out beauty spread in the June issue of UK Vogue. Featuring Canadian model Jessica Stam and shot by photographer Patrick Demarchelier, it showcased eyes that shimmered and sparkled in silver and gold, sequinned shorts, hot pants, feathered capes, stay-ups, bowler hats, and glitter shoes.

It is not surprising that Cabaret's style has infiltrated UK collections, given that John Kander and Fred Ebb's hit musical has been revived in the West End. But the steamy costumes of the Kit Kat Klub are also inspiring local designers.

Whatever the reason for the current fashion Zeitgeist, there is no denying its cabaret roots. Sydney label Ksubi has credited French cabaret singers among the inspirations for its latest collection of sexy, structural swimwear and corsets, fashioned from lace and leopard prints.

New Zealand label Sylvester - all ruffled knickers, tuxedo jackets, fishnets and bowler hats - has also taken its cues from cabaret stars of bygone eras.

Meanwhile, Sydney labels Milk & Honey and This is Genevieve have also channelled a kind of fashion hybrid of Emcee and Sally Bowles - all top hats, canes, sequins, and dancing shoes.

Kate Winslet - Lancome New Endorser

Kate Winslet is to front new campaigns with Lancome.

The 'Revolutionary Road' actress - who has been working with the French beauty brand since 2007 - will star in advertisements for two new ranges, Renergie skin care and L'Absolu Rouge make-up, from July.

No further details of the campaigns have been released, including who will shoot the new adverts.

Meanwhile, Coty Inc - who produce perfumes for supermodel Kate Moss and 'Sex and the City' actress Sarah Jessica Parker - have announced they will be producing a new fragrance for designer Jil Sander, called 'Jil'.

Julia Restoin Roitfeld, the daughter of French Vogue director Carine Roitfeld, will be the face of the new product which will be available from August.

Photographer Jan Welters will be behind the campaign.

Jil recently announced she is to become creative director of Japanese retailer Uniqlo, marking her return to the fashion industry.

The German designer had previously not worked in fashion since 2004, when she left her eponymous label - which the Prada Group bought 75 per cent of in 1999 - following a disagreement with Prada CEO Patrizio Bertelli.

LVMH Talks About Edun

Paris - LVMH is to take a minority stake in Edun, the ecological and ethical fashion start-up founded by Irish singer Bono and his lovely wife, the world's biggest luxury group said last Thursday.

Launched in 2005, Edun aims to promote sustainable development and fair trading by selling T-shirts and dresses in organic cotton made in countries such as India, Peru, Uganda, Kenya and Lesotho.

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

"We are proud to contribute to the operational development of Edun and to the improvement of living standards of local communities," LVMH Chief Executive Bernard Arnault said in a statement.

The French group's other fashion brands include Celine, Kenzo, Donna Karan and Louis Vuitton.

Bono, whose real name is Paul Hewson, is the lead singer of rock band U2 and an active humanitarian campaigner, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

"With LVMH, we can step up (Edun's) development, giving greater stability to our suppliers and the local communities they support," Bono said in LVMH's statement.

Edun will maintain its headquarters in Dublin and a subsidiary in New York. Mark Weber, head of Donna Karan International, will supervise LVMH's investment for the French luxury group.

As he announced the Edun deal, Arnault said trading in April was broadly in line with the level seen during the first quarter, with a slight improvement in wines and spirits.

Asked about the group's operations overall, Arnault told Reuters: "It is in line with the first quarter."

Jean-Jacques Guiony, LVMH Finance Director, later told Reuters there had been a slight improvement in wines and spirits particularly in Cognac sales, which made up about half of the unit's sales.

But conclusions could not be drawn based on one month's trading, he added.

Moet Hennessy, LVMH's wines and spirit unit, saw revenue drop 22 percent in the first quarter on a like-for-like basis.

Hennessy volumes alone were down 21 percent.

Arnault added that Diageo, which still owns 34 percent of Moet Hennessy, was not planning to sell its stake.

"To my knowledge, our partner is not looking to sell its stake, so the question is not on the agenda," he said.

Last month, LVMH denied it was in talks to sell control of Moet Hennessy to Diageo, attempting to quash market rumors the two groups were preparing a deal. Industry observers at the time said they believed Diageo appeared more keen on fully owning Moet Hennessy than LVMH was on selling.

Citing analysts who expect to see green shoots of recovery next year, Arnault forecast market conditions would improve faster in the United States than in Europe.

"The economy will have to pick up again," Arnault said.]

Expect Edward Cullen in Cannes, Paris Hilton Back Off!

Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson is heading to the Cannes Film festival! The hunky actor is taking time off from shooting “Twilight” sequel “New Moon” to make his first appearance at the see-and-be-seen glamour event on the French Riviera.

But Rob better beware of Paris. Not the beautiful French capital, but celebrity party queen Paris Hilton. She’ll be there as well, and she could try to throw herself at Rob – again. Paris made a major play for him, earlier this year, but the 23-year-old British actor blew her off.

The festival opened today (May 12), with Disney/Pixar's 3D movie “UP” leading off the show. Rob will be taking in the scene for the first time as a major star in his own right. But this year’s festival is likely to be somewhat more subdued.

While some regular showbiz parties have been cancelled, the fashion brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Chopard (as co-sponsors) and D Squared will be hosting events on or just off the Croisette, the vacation Mecca’s main promenade.

Rob, who by now is familiar with major red carpet events – he attended the Oscars for the first time this year as well – will rub shoulders with the likes of former President Bill Clinton and Pop diva Mariah Carey, who will be there to promote “Precious,” her new film.

Regulars like Sharon Stone, Donatella Versace and movie executive Harvey Weinstein will also be town, where many deals get made

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be among stars to watch. Brad will be there to promote Quentin Tarantino's World War II drama "Inglourious Basterds." Brad is starring in the film, one of 20 in the main competition for the coveted Palme d'Or, given for best picture.

Academy Award-winner Penélope Cruz, who appears in the movie “Broken Embraces,” will also be there. Now she’s Rob’s type. The film is directed by Pedro Almodovar and will be competing for the grand prize.

Actress Robin Wright Penn, a member of this year’s jury panel, will be making her first public appearance since breaking up with her estranged husband Sean Penn, who judged the competition last year.

Rob is expected to spend some time helping to shop a new film called "Remember Me," directed by Allen Coulter and produced by Nick Osborne and Trevor Engelson.

The film will be presented to a number of buyers at the festival, along with three other titles from Summit Entertainment, which produced “Twilight.”

Shooting will begin this summer in New York. Pattinson will take a break from the shooting "New Moon" and "Eclipse" to make the picture. "New Moon" wraps shooting in May while "Eclipse" begins in August.

Big Kicks For Women - Yeah or Nay?

Being trendy with sandals is a must-have this season but "What's wrong with big sandals?".

Even French fashion show like Barbara Bui (French designer) on a RTW collection 2008 Spring/Summer introduce big sandals that is truly trendy and fashionable.

The two must-have styles are clearly cousins, but there’s been an evolution, thanks in part to chunky platforms, woven textures and more sex appeal.

The “it” bag has been replaced by the “it” shoe, says Nicole Fischelis, the group vice president of ready-to-wear fashion for Macy’s. “The aggressive shoe is not a new phenomenon. It’s been on the runway for a few seasons, but it’s more apparent because of the rocker-chick kind of mood that’s coming back into fashion.”

But skinny jeans and a leather jacket aren’t the only way to wear it. These shoes have an “opposite attraction” with delicate, feminine dresses, too.

Tastemakers say aggressive shoes go from daytime to evening, casual to dressy, sexy to serious. This flexibility gives them legs as a long-term trend. Macy’s and Nine West report swift sales.

The dramatic, femme-fatale shoe perfectly offsets some of the menswear-inspired fashion coming down the pike later in the year, she says. “As we look toward fall, you’ll see in fashion a lot of androgyny with the boyfriend jacket, and boyfriend jeans with a ruffled blouse — and killer shoes.”

For the warmer weather, Swennen likes aqua, yellow or silver shoes worn with black, or darker hues paired with crisp white or sandy beige clothes.

The silhouette works with knee-length skirts, Bermuda shorts and both wide- and skinny-leg pants, according to Swennen, but stay away from short shorts or maxi dresses — the proportions just aren’t right.

French Luxury Company Hermès On Its Peek

Paris - Kasia Al Thani owns 18 versions of the $7,000 Birkin handbag made by French luxury-goods company Hermès and is on waiting lists for two more bags, including one in white crocodile skin.

"When I see other women carrying a Birkin in a color that I want, I get bag envy," says the 32-year-old chief executive of luxury retail Web site savoir-faire.com. "The more you can't have something, the more you want it."

The French fashion house, which was founded in 1837 as a saddle maker, has eschewed many of the strategies followed by others in the industry.

While bigger designer brands such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Armani have pursued fast growth, expanding rapidly in emerging markets and reaching out to a younger, hipper clientele with trendy products and advertising, Hermès has taken a sleepier approach to the business -- even in times of economic prosperity.

Hermès also keeps tight control over its retail outlets and rewards loyal clients with private parties, tickets to horse races and yoga sessions.

"We are not fashionable, and we avoid being fashionable, We didn't want to make the brand too accessible. Suddenly Hermès bags were being associated with canvas, which is not what we wanted," says Mr. Thomas.

Independent French Fashion 'Nodus' Chose 'Aures'

Independent French fashion label Nodus chose Aures to be their technology provider all over the world.
