The Italian fashion house Versace


The Italian fashion house Versace is slowly moving into the lifestyle sector of the luxury market after having done all they could do in the fashion arena. This doesn’t mean that they will be leaving fashion completely, the Versace brand will just be seen on more than just jeans and perfume now. Expect to also see the leather interiors of your Lamborghini embalmed with the Versace logo.
Presented at the Paris International Autoshow, the Lamborghini MurciĆ©lago LP640 Versace is a modified version of the LP640 CoupĆ©. It features custom Versace leather seating and a Gianni Versace logo plaqueinside the vehicle. Not cool enough? OK, how about a Versace designed cabin for your helicopter?

This is the kind of diversity that the Italian brand is leveraging itself into, the area of a luxury lifestyle. With a lot of the fashion industry going more for selling features rather than big funky looking runway shows, designers now also have to be careful about final season end sales numbers.
In the end it makes good business sense to make sure that your company is profitable from selling the seasons collections and not pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into haute couture shows. Only to just unleash all that creativity into designing for custom orders and of course super expensive luxury goods for those who have no qualms in spending money on it.

Become A Fashion Stylist

Getting your foot in the door

Building a portfolio takes time. It takes about a year to two before you may begin to feel confident that your portfolio can compete with the others. It’s a work in progress. Don’t get discouraged.

Assisting is a great way to learn without the risk of losing a job. It’s an opportunity to get a first hand look at what goes on during a shoot or prior to a ceremony. Assisting can also lead to personal work.
As the public becomes more fashion conscious, simply wearing the right labels is no longer enough. Thehair, make-up and accessories are part of the gig and a stylist needs to be an expert in all those things. So if you work in the Film and TV industry and a celebrity goes for an award ceremony they will get in touch with you and start planning weeks before for what they’re going to wear.
Stylists can have tremendous influence over the way the public views fashion. They can develop looks to inspire beauty, creativity or even a specific mood. They can also create sex appeal as well as “shock” appeal simply by wardrobing their client in a certain way.
Being employed as a fashion stylist is often not a full time job, but rather a freelance career. Stylists often develop a client base through word of mouth and work on an “as needed basis” from project to project.
In fashion, a stylist’s role is critical to the success of a photo shoot. The stylist is responsible for assembling the apparel and accessories to be worn by each model. Many stylists even determine the hairstyle and make-up that should be used for a shoot.
Successful stylists often enjoy V.I.P treatment with front row seats at fashion shows including free clothes and flights. You may even get to hang out with the world’s most stylish people; some are celebrities, some are members of royal families and some are “ordinary people” with discriminating tastes.
If you are considering a career as a fashion stylist then your best bet would be to network as much as you can while you’re learning. It’s the contacts that will get you a job, not how much powder you apply to a nose.

Your Future in Fashion

Did you know that the fashion industry generates $20 billion a year in revenue and is New York City's largest manufacturing industry?

The fashion industry is a fast-paced, increasingly complex world of creativity, design, business, and technology that many people find fascinating and alluring. As a growth industry, fashion is certain to provide many future career opportunities.

If you are contemplating a career in fashion, it is beneficial to take as many art-related classes as possible while you are in high school. This will help you develop your creative skills and sense of aesthetics. Being computer literate is also important, since many fashion companies obtain valuable information from the Internet and make use of design software programs.

You should also follow industry trends by reading books and fashion magazines, visiting museums, exploring fashion-related web sites, and watching television to observe advertising. It is critical to understand the world around you and to be aware of cultural, economic, and political events, which all have an impact on the fashion industry.

The payoff for a fashion career can be glamour and excitement, but it can be a long hard road. Most people in the industry start at the bottom and pay their dues, and there are no guarantees of fame and fortune. It is a very competitive and demanding industry, and many careers in fashion require that you work long and tedious work hours. In order to be successful, you must have a passion for fashion—a real burning desire to work in the industry. For many successful people in this business, fashion is their life—they live it, breathe it, and think it constantly.

If you decide to attend college, try to select a school that will provide an enriching and exciting educational experience—one where you can grow intellectually, creatively, professionally, and personally. A college or university that offers a specialized curriculum in fashion education is especially beneficial. Attend a college that has strong ties to the industry and where faculty are active practitioners in their fields. This will enable you to gain essential information and develop the skills you need to be successful.
