Taylor Swift becomes beautiful CoverGirl


Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Taylor Swift can now add COVERGIRL to her list of accomplishments. The 20-year-old, GRAMMY award-winning star has just finished shooting her first advertisements for the beauty giant, and will represent a new line of luxury products for the brand. The ads are scheduled to debut in January 2011.

With millions of fans worldwide, Swift has achieved remarkable success since first entering the country music scene in 2006. To date she has sold more than thirteen million albums and is the top-selling digital artist in music history. Her second album, Fearless, has spent more weeks in the top spot on Billboard’s all-genre Top 20 chart than any other album this decade. The GRAMMY Awards, the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music, and the American Music Awards all named Fearless the 2009 Country Album of the Year and, this year, the album won the all-genre GRAMMY Award for Album of the year. Last year, Swift earned the American Music Award for Artist of the Year and was the youngest artist ever to win the prestigious CMA Award for Entertainer of the Year.

“With her fresh beauty and authentic style, Taylor is a wonderful addition to the COVERGIRL family,” said Vince Hudson, General Manager, COVERGIRL Cosmetics. “Through all her success, Taylor remains a grounded and sincere woman who connects with fans everywhere just by being true to who she is. She personifies the iconic image of the brand while representing the next generation of both inner and outer beauty.”

“I am so excited to become the next COVERGIRL,” said Swift. “I have admired many of the COVERGIRLs since I was a little girl . . . great artists and actresses who are confident and still themselves. It’s like a dream come true to be a part of the future of COVERGIRL.”

MarediModa/IntimodiModa coming soon


Maredimoda Intimodimoda, the international invitation-only show for beach and underwear fabrics Made in Europe, has officially announced the dates for its ninth edition, backed by results from the last fair, which showed an increase in visitors of more than 8% compared to 2008 (3,161 instead of 2,920), when 15 more exhibitors took part.

For over 100 exhibitors it was a chance to meet buyers from the 800 most qualified manufacturers in the world, representing 70 countries including Italy, France, Spain, Great Britain, the United States, Japan and Russia. These figures reward careful selection of exhibitors through meticulous internal procedures, the quality of the products on show, an unusual formula and the work environment at a fair which is univocally recognised as being the unique unrivalled benchmark for the highest representation of European collections for beach and underwear. This result, confirmed and emphasised by sample interviews carried out in the fair just a few hours before it closed, must also be seen as a fairly strong signal of confidence regarding the new-found enthusiasm of buyers in Cannes.

“The next edition of MarediModa/IntimodiModa”, stresses President Claudio Taiana, “will feature important evolution in terms of supply. In the first place, we will be dedicating more space and a new format to the trend forum, coming up with a big-impact truly innovative formula. We will be hosting and sponsoring an important international forum in the wake of last year’s success, we will give more visibility and value to the dedicated Outsourcing area that we were the first to introduce as a qualified model of alternative production. We are extremely pleased to see that our example has been followed by other international shows. We will be presenting activity category models regarding the real opportunities that outsourcers have if they no longer target the Far East, but look to North Africa or Eastern Europe: Maredimoda Intimodimoda will in fact be at the Salon De la Lingerie in Tunis in April with a view to further strengthening relationships with our North African partners. We will also see the second act of THE LINK, the world’s most ambitious talent scouting competition, involving the 100 most famous creativity schools in Europe. Its debut far exceeded expectations for the quality of the work presented by the students involved”.

Mention must also be made of the huge investment already made in terms of resources and energy into the underwear section, set to play a decisive role in the short term for the fair due also to its scheduling and strategic positioning. First-time previews of collections will be organised for top buyers and co-marketing with exhibitors will be fine-tuned.

The Most Famous Fragrance in the world is back again


Millions of Americans search far and wide each year for the perfect Mother’s Day gift, but many end up settling for the traditional flowers and a card that are soon forgotten. For those people looking this year to get their mother, grandmother, or wife a special gift that they’ll never forget, The Vermont Country Store offers hundreds of unique, practical, and hard-to-find items for such an occasion.

“As a family-owned business, we are proud to offer unique and nostalgic items that help people show their love and admiration for the moms in their lives,” says Cabot Orton, proprietor of The Vermont Country Store. “Most mothers will tell you that they just want to be appreciated. Giving her an unusual gift, small or large, that shows your thoughtfulness will reflect how much you care.”

Consumers can search through The Vermont Country Store’s catalogues and two store locations in Vermont to find the perfect gift for Mother’s Day. A few of these items include:

Evening in Paris – “The Most Famous Fragrance in the World” is back again, as evocative as ever. From the daring decade of the 1920s came the fragrance Soir de Paris, or Evening in Paris. By the 1950s, it was touted as “the fragrance more women wear than any other in the world,” yet by 1969 it had disappeared. Now, it’s back at The Vermont Country Store.

Teacup of the Month – New to The Vermont Country Store, this is the perfect gift for tea lovers and porcelain collectors: a hand-painted teacup and saucer featuring the birth flower for each month. Gold leaf embellishes the handle, saucer, and the month’s name scripted inside the cup. Customers can purchase a single cup, all 12 at once, or have a cup delivered each month.

Miraclebody launches search for ‘Women Who Shape our Lives’


Miraclesuit, the #1 brand in designer fashion shaping swimwear, has launched a line of Miraclebody Jeans, with a patented tummy control feature and innovative shaping construction. In launching this new collection, Miraclebody announces a Search for “Women Who Shape our Lives.” Seeking entries from women who can nominate themselves or others, this contest will honor and share inspirational stories about remarkable women from all walks of life who have made a significant difference.

Miraclesuit swimwear has a 37 year heritage of shaping women. This brand has built its strong reputation by providing innovative fabrics and unique designs to contour, shape, slim and firm the body, giving women confidence in their brand promise to “Look 10 pounds lighter in 10 seconds”.

“We realized swimwear and jeans have a lot in common,” says Jay Feigenbaum, President of both Miraclesuit swimwear and Miraclebody Jeans.

“Both garments have become universal expressions of self-esteem and consumer research shows that proper fit and shaping are of utmost importance to the purchase process and satisfaction for both these categories,” comments Feigenbaum. “Our challenge was to take our expertise in fashion shaping for swimwear and apply and adapt the concepts for a premium denim line.” The collection has a super soft patented Miratex fabric with two times the amount of stretch as most premium denim, a patent-pending tummy control panel, and washes, stitching and design constructions engineered to enhance assets and hide figure flaws.

“At Miraclebody Jeans, we believe in the principle that you don’t have to be a size 0 to look and feel great in a pair of designer jeans. Our technology is designed to allow the wearer to look “10 pounds lighter in 10 seconds” just like in our swimwear, and still feel amazingly comfortable and confident.” Product is available in size 2-18, and will soon be available in sizes 18w to 22w.

Lands’ End Swimwear: its suits you

Whether it’s a revolution or simply a revelation, women have discovered they are wearing the wrong sizes when it comes to bras, jeans and now, swimsuits. In fact, according to a recent survey of more than 1,000 women conducted by Lands’ End, eight out of ten surveyed confessed to having worn the wrong size swimsuit. They also believe other women wear the wrong size suit as well; 71 percent believe the majority of women wear the wrong size suit. This could explain why respondents have experienced swimsuit-sizing mishaps such as saggy bottoms (65 percent), cleavage overflow (58 percent), behind busting out/seat creep (56 percent) and muffin top (54 percent).

“With so many advances in swimsuit design, high-performance fabrics and a full range of available sizes, there is no reason why any woman should experience muffin top or saggy bottoms,” said Suzanne Bryant, vice president of design, Lands’ End. “At Lands’ End, we know it’s critically important to have a proper-fitting swimsuit so women can feel and look great on the beach or by the pool. As a result, we offer hundreds of styles that provide solutions for every shape with design details to fit and flatter. And, we offer a full range of sizes including regular, petite (short) and long (tall) torso, mastectomy, D-DDD cup sizes and plus sizes.”

Sizing Up Swimwear Options at Lands’ End
The survey also found more than half of respondents (54 percent) purchase swim bottoms in a size that is too big hoping for more coverage while a third (34 percent) have squeezed into a suit that is too small because a larger size was not available. It’s not surprising that women are compromising when it comes to finding their true size since an overwhelming majority of survey respondents (79 percent) stated they fell in love with a swimsuit style, but it was not available in their size.

“Women are not one size fits all especially when it comes to swimwear,” stated Bryant. “At Lands’ End, we offer a large variety of sizes in every swimsuit style and this year we have more options than ever before. In addition, we offer several collections of swim separates to help women mix and match sizes and styles.”

Yoko Okuda receives top honors at FIT-SDI competition


Mismatched plaids, tweeds with layered ruffles and delicate chiffons were just a few of the elements featured at "City Meets Country, Scotland Means Style," a competition held by Scottish Development International (SDI) for Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) fashion and interior design students. Yoko Okuda, a fashion design major, and Kecia Mortensen, an interior design major, received top honors for their innovative use of fabric, colors and textures inspired by Scotland's rich history, landscapes and textiles.

The winners were announced at a reception held at The Norwood Club in New York City. At the reception were Scotland's Minister for Culture and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop, Scottish Designer to Royalty Sandra Murray MBE, and FIT student designers. Garments and interiors illustrations were on display throughout the venue for guests to view.

The competition recognized a new generation of designers who tackled the challenge of creating fashion forward garments and interior designs by marrying traditional and contemporary Scottish style. Fashion design students were asked to create garments for evening, day and sports. Interior design students were asked to create a penthouse suite for an Edinburgh luxury hotel.

"Scottish textiles have been the foundation for fashion and apparel for decades," said Marilyn Hefferen, contest coordinator and assistant professor in FIT's Department of Fashion Design. "This was an opportunity for our students to work with some of the finest textiles in the world from Scotland's most prestigious brands."

Using textiles from Reid & Taylor, Johnstons, Lochcarron of Scotland, Calzeat & Co., Harris Tweed and Holland & Sherry, FIT students vied to win a $1,000 grand prize; a trip to Scotland for the fashion design winner; work placement at a New York City design firm for the interior design winner; and a spot on the Dress to Kilt runway. Runners-up and the recipient of the creativity award received prizes ranging from $500-$750. All designs will be on display in Scottish parliament this summer.

The Bridal Lounge, a new feature to The Bride Show Dubai, the region’s most prestigious bridal and fashion event, will pull together experts from the hair and beauty industry such as MAC Cosmetics and l’OrĆ©al Professionnel to offer advice, tips and ideas in an interactive, comfortable setting.

The national campaign will debut this spring in fashion, lifestyle and entertainment magazines such as Elle, Teen Vogue, Seventeen and Cosmopolitan, outdoor and online.

Jessica Szohr stated, "The latest trend for spring is shine and Op has it first. The clothes are so great; especially the amazing bikinis and shorts."

"The great thing about Op is that it is very accessible. You can grab it at Walmart. The looks are original and affordable," commented Cory Monteith.

The Op campaign was photographed at Universal Studios in California by lifestyle photographer Larry Bartholomew. The campaign creative features the cast of Op celebrities at a block party, hanging out in a hammock, barbequing and getting ready to go surfing. An element of shine is integrated into the print campaign with metallic paper and gold foil on the ads.
