Fashion Talk

Debenhams.com has announced several changes have been made to their site to help shoppers make an informed decision when choosing from the new extended range.

This year the range includes an exclusive collection of limited edition dresses by designers at Debenhams and trend-led styles in the Cocktail Hour, Siren and Jewelled Brights selection.

Celebrity stylist Mark Heyes is on hand to help the shopper make a final decision on what type of party wear to buy. Several ranges of dresses come specifically recommended by Heyes, who has also written several style advice pages and features using videos to give fashion tips. There is also useful advice to read on the site - such as what suits a person’s body shape - to give shoppers more information on the sort of clothes they would look good wearing.

The collection of black dresses is one of the most popular on the site and there are several new gadgets which help cut out the likelihood of buyer disappointment. The improved zoom function allows users to look at the dresses up close meaning there are no surprises when the material or the stitching don’t quite match up with expectations.

Whilst images show the basic look of a dress, Debenhams.com has also added videos to many of its evening dresses pages. These show a model walking down a runway or giving a twirl to display how the dress reacts to certain kinds of movement.

Another new feature of the website is that it allows customers to leave a review based on their experience. Reviewers can leave a rating out of five for each dress as well as a short description of what they liked or disliked about the dress. This can be a useful tool for shoppers unsure which of the new range of party dresses to go for, as it offers an unbiased customer opinion on the products.

Fertile Mind began as a one product company back in 1998 when founder Christine Kininmonth invented the Belly Belt for her own pregnancy.

Belly Belt expanded Christine’s regular suits so she could continue to present the TV news while pregnant.

Since then, Belly Belt has been taken up by almost every maternity and baby store in Australia, and is in almost all department store chains.

Belly Belt has been a regular success story on television business shows and has been nominated as a finalist in business awards.

Christine and her business partner Peter Hooker have now expanded Fertile Mind to include many other innovative products, including their own design – the original 6WayDress and clever nursing wear.

As well as hundreds of magazine articles, Fertile Mind was one of sixteen Australian companies selected for inclusion in “Made in Australia”, a book about Australian entrepreneurship sponsored by IBM.

On the export front, Fertile Mind products are now in 25 countries!

Christine still continues her media career and is a judge on prime time ABC TV’s The New Inventors program.

You can find out more about Fertile Mind by visiting the website - www.fertilemind.com - where you can see a full collection of products now available in the United States.

Belly Belt from Fertile Mind is a simple kit that elasticizes waistbands in regular clothes so they can be worn during pregnancy.

Fertile Mind president Christine Kininmonth says Belly Belt has changed the way Australian women enjoy the early months of pregnancy. “Hiding their condition from work colleagues is one of the reasons customers give for buying a Belly Belt”, she says. “You look and feel like you always have, while you adjust to the changes in your body shape.”

Fertile Mind’s success in Australia has led it to expand into the US, and the growth includes a move into nursing clothing. “Nursing clothing is a boom industry” says Peter Hooker, Christine’s business partner. “We specialize in nursing tops that, like the Belly Belt, reflect regular fashion trends.”

But white jeans can be the most sensible purchase for your maternity wardrobe. For a start, they always looks fresh and cheerful and they go with anything.

Pair with coloured tanks or dark t-shirts, layer a floaty print top or kaftan, throw on a bikini top and a sheer button-up shirt.

Secondly, they wash so well. Whites can be thrown in with nappies for a good Napisan soak…..ensuring you always look bright and cheery.

One of the most comfortable and lightweight brands of white jeans is the new straight-leg style from Seraphine. Seraphine are known for their award-winning bootcut jean style, which were named “best maternity jean” by UK fashion editors.

Now Seraphine have designed the perfect white jean with a soft, underbelly waistband and hidden elastic pockets.

Fertile Mind’s Goddess nursing top is a case in point. The flattering bust line cleverly hides discreet feeding openings.

The leading nursing fashion is the Glamourmom range with build-in nursing bra tanks and tops. Featuring 4 different styles and a wide range of colours mums feel comfortable and support while they nurse discretly.

Another clever design from Mothers en Vogue is the Classic Sleeveless Ruched Top – a floaty, feminine style in pale pink or black.

For those who prefer to draw attention away from their upper arms, the short or three quarter sleeve Fertile Mind Henley has enough stretch in the fabric for use as maternity wear as well as nursing.

Fertile Mind’s nursing fashion gives mothers more choice in supporting their decision to breastfeed their baby.

Seattle musician Jonas de Varona has designed a line of clothing and bags under the name Meet Me Here. The Fall 2008 line was previewed at the McLeod Residence on August 1st. It includes bags made from recycled materials sourced locally as well as tops and skirts made from hand painted silk, nylon and non woven fabrics. All pieces are made to order - cut and sewn by Jonas - and are available through the MMH website.

“The internet has leveled the playing field for independent businesses by allowing them access to a much wider audience than was possible 10 years ago,” said de Varona.

The Meet Me Here fall line is muted black white and grey tones. Crisp angular jackets accentuate bubble shapes with splashes of flowing bright blue, yellow and silver. The line expresses the designer’s love of structure and contrast creating a feel that is spacious and chic.

In May MMH caught the eye of art and design blogMan Made Lakes. August 1st marked the first show for MMH at the at the Mcleod Residence. The event was hosted by What Why Design, a new quarterly event showcasing emerging Seattle designers. This month MMH is featured in the October syle issue ofSeattle Metropolitan magazine along side of ferings from Barney’s, Nordstroms, and Impulse as well as other top boutiques.

“Most of the shapes I make are not flattering in a typical sort of way. this is because I like the architectural aspects of clothing. I’m much more interested in making a unique shape thats wearable than trying to flatter someone’s body,” said de Varona. “To me this is where the mystery lies.”

On Dec 11 MMH will participate in a gallery show at Vermillion gallery with Seattle designers Grey pants, I&M and others. The event will behosted by Join Design Seattle.

Jonas de Varona has played and/or recorded with Throw Me The Statue, Chocolate, Reggie Watts, Darius Wilrich, Joe Syverson and others.

Estella, a New York City & Online retailer of Baby Clothes, Designer Children’s Clothes & unique kids clothes, today announced the arrival of ADD and other designer children’s clothing including baby onesies, pants, tops, sweaters, kids coats, girls dresses, unisex baby clothes, baby boy and baby girl clothes. Collections now available include those from Belgian edgy children’s clothes designer Max & Lola, British children’s clothing designer Nicola Levy and Italian children’s outerwear by ADD.

Making its US debut at Estella this Fall is Italian designed kids fall coats and winter coats by ADD. This traditionally men’s and women’s fashion designer is now introducing its line of down kid’s outerwear (kids vests and kids coats) to the US market at Estella. These children’s outerwear pieces are light, warm and allow the skin to breath, all because they are filled with the finest down feathers available. So kids can run and play without worrying about warmth and comfort.

Also now available at Estella is another European children’s clothing designer, Nicola Levy. Nicola Levy, a Physiotherapist turned fashionista, began her fashion career designing sweaters for major labels in the English and American women’s-wear market. She did this until her first child was born. Shortly thereafter, she launched her baby knitwear line. Combining hands-on craft skills with her fashion sentiment, Nicola Levy creates beautiful handmade baby knitwear and children’s sweaters. Handmade in the United Kingdom, each item is a labor of love, truly unique clothes for kids.

Max & Lola is another special line of European designer children’s clothing. Designed by Belgian Kaatje Sandre, Max & Lola’s Fall collection is, as usual, cutting edge and filled with personality. It combines unusual colors, fabrics and cuts in an unexpected yet complementary manner. None of her pieces are mass-produced, each piece is a work of art. Designed for the trailblazer who sets the trend rather than follows, this collection is vibrant, playful and well made.

“With everyone making baby clothing these days, European designers like Max & Lola, who think out of the box allow Estella to differentiate itself,” said founder Chike Chukwulozie. “With special pieces from them, Nicola Levy, ADD and our other designers, Estella offers consumers the best selection of unique kids clothing,” added Mr. Chukwulozie.

To celebrate the launch of their luxurious and elegant jewellery showcase at International Jewellery London 2008, Gladstone will be sponsoring the main bar at the show.

Taking place between 31st August till 3rd September at Earls Court in London, IJL 2008 is promising to be an event not to be missed for lovers of beautiful and luxury jewellery.

Gladstone have already been tipped to sparkle at the jewellery trade show by several industry insiders, as they showcase their collection of intricate yet lavish jewellery designs, combining fully precious stones such as diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds in rub-over settings linked into a distinctive pattern by a series of delicate white and yellow gold chains.

To celebrate the showcasing of these timeless elegant pieces, Gladstone are set to sponsor the main bar at the show, in the centre of the exhibition hall on ‘The Boulevard’, with the bar now being named ‘The Gladstone Jewellery Bar’. People visiting the bar will be able to enjoy champagne with friends and business contacts in the very heart of the exhibition.

“Our jewellery uses only fully precious stones which we hand-select ensuring that they are of the finest quality. The designs are inspired by a romantic vision of the lavish splendour of Medieval royalty lifestyle, so that the wearer will truly feel like a ‘Queen’ when wearing a Gladstone piece.”

“The result is a unique and distinct collection of what I believe to be classic and sumptuous designs that are lovingly hand-crafted.”

Estée Lauder has announced the introduction of a new free Gift Time SMS Text Reminder service which allows customers to sign up to receive text messages to alert them that Gift Time (Estée Lauder’s Gift with Purchase offer) is starting at their chosen store.

Available exclusively online, customers can register to receive a text alert via their mobile phone two days before Gift Time starts at their chosen store. Stores presently included in the text message alert service include Boots, Debenhams, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, House of Fraser, John Lewis, and Selfridges. This may be rolled out to further Estée Lauder stores in the near future, including the many Independent pharmacy stockists.

Estée Lauder was the first cosmetics brand to offer this text message service - perfect for those customers who have become devoted Gift Time followers. The text messages are completely free to sign up to and receive, and are proving an invaluable tool to those who love to be the first to know about special offers.

The SMS message service ensures loyal customers do not miss out on their exclusive gifts, while providing them with the opportunity to make their skin care, fragrance or makeup purchase at their favourite store. The message includes the dates that Gift Time is available to and from, as well as details of the qualifier (if it’s with any two Estée Lauder purchases, or any two Estée Lauder purchases, one to be skincare).

Gift Time was the first ever Gift with Purchase offered by the cosmetics world, in 1953. It was first started by Mrs Estée Lauder herself, when she offered her customers a face powder free of charge, with any Estée Lauder purchase. Estée believed that the best way to convert a woman into a customer was to place the product in her hand and let her try it for herself. One of Mrs. Lauder’s favourite quotes was “Tell-A-Phone, Tell-A-Graph, Tell-A-Woman”, based on her belief that once a woman tried a product, she would like it and share it with her friends.

This belief proved to be true, and today almost every beauty house in the world offers the Gift with Purchase concept.

Today, Estée Lauder has a different Gift Time offering for each of their store groups throughout the year.

About Estée Lauder
In 1946, Estée Lauder started business with one face crème, and the desire to bring out the beauty in every woman. By the time the revolutionary fragrance Youth-Dew was introduced in 1953, the Estée Lauder Company had already won a reputation for innovation, research and quality.

Now Estée Lauder’s skincare, makeup and fragrance collections exemplify the best that technology, science and arts can achieve. The Estée Lauder name on a product is recognised in over 100 countries for quality and has gained a worldwide reputation for elegant, and luxurious products that uphold the finest standards of excellence through extensive research and stringent product testing.

The Estée Lauder Company’s’ annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign involves all of the 18 brands that make up The Estée Lauder Company. They collectively represent The Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s first and largest corporate supporter. Estée’s daughter-in-law was the creator of BCRF’s signature pink ribbon. Over $10 million has been raised for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation since 1993. Another $1 million was raised from their retail partners since July 2002.
