Besey Johnson Spring 2011

Besey Johnson atest infatuation? Cyclists. Kitted out in bright spandex and funny headgear…always having the right of way (at least according to themselves)—it should really be no surprise they have tickled the always-energetic, ever-colorful designer's fancy. Le Tour de Betsey carried us sartorially from uptown to downtown, while a runway backdrop showed video footage from the designer's own citywide spin.

Models wore bicycle-chain necklaces, utility belts, and mechanic's jackets emblazoned with the words "Ride Me." Acid-hued bodysuits and striped thigh-highs sashayed out. One girl attempted to ride a skateboard in stripper heels (the kind with extra room for dollar bills); when she tripped, she picked herself up with House of Betsey aplomb. On the Upper East Side end of the cycle trip, museum-hoppers in black and white knits provided polish, while farther south, Fleet Week was celebrated by smartly dressed ladies in natty sailor suits. The crinoline-poufed ball gowns finished with puff paint and glitter that came out last would only look appropriate in one place: Times Square, where the tour took its victory lap.

Miguel Morinero the spanish designer

Up until 1982, Miguel Marinero designed the haute couture fur collections for Irueste. He designed prêt-à-porter lines in fur for El Corte Inglés, Galerías Preciados, Celso García and Cortefiel.

He is commissioned as a choreographer for the presentation in our country of  the most important national fashion firms and as a jury member and adviser in design contests.
His creations are regularly present in fashion productions in all the Spanish mass media. He has a regular and select clientele both in our capital and in the rest of Spain who have been loyal to his 30-year career in this profession
In February 1983, Miguel Marinero inaugurated his own atelier in Madrid and launched his eponymous line.
From 1983 to 2006, he has a continuous collaboration with the Joy Eslava Theatre, where his collections are shown to the press and clients. Marinero collaborates with different organisations to link fur to the different arenas of luxury and art.
In 2004, he held the “The Artists’ Memory” Agustín Ibarrola/Miguel Marinero,” an exhibition of fur garments inspired by “The Memory Cubes” by Agustín Ibarrola in La Villa de Llanes (Asturias) promoted by IFEMA, within the framework of International Fashion Week in the Circle of Fine Arts of Madrid, from 3 to 21 February. This exhibition was held again in the Casa de la Cultura of Llanes from 9 to 17 October of this same year.
In 2007, Miguel Marinero debuted at Fashion Week Cibeles Autumn-Winter collection and had shown there since then.

GIORGIO ARMANI 2011

Resort collection drew together three distinct threads of his career: the combination of masculine and feminine elements, the architecture of haute couture, and the influence of 1930's-style movie star glamour. He long ago reconstructed the fundamentals of men's fashion with his women's suits, as he did with a pinstriped version in navy linen here. This season, he gave the jackets a new proportion: slightly shorter with a built-out shoulder. A man's necktie was abstracted as a trompe l'oeil detail. But there was nothing abstract about the couture spirit that was evident in the structure of a mesh jacket with a waistline that flared into a trumpet shape, or a cocktail dress with a huge grosgrain bow at the bac

MARIO CIMARRO INTERVIEW

MARIO CIMARO

Mario Cimarro, born June 1, 1971 in Havana, Cuba, is a Cuban actor.
Cimarro arrived in Mexico City having traveled from Havana Cuba, to fulfill his life long dream to become an actor. He studied intensively with preeminent teachers, including Adriana Barraza and Sergio Jimenez.
Upon graduation with a degree in drama, Cimarro began to pursue roles that would allow him to grow as an artist. His credits include "Romeo and Juliet" directed by Bazz Luhrmann and "Managua"
Soon Cimarro began to get offers of work in other countries and traveled to Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia where he worked in each country with top writers, producers and directors. He had the opportunity to star in two great Latin-American cultural iconic series: "Pasion de Gavilanes" and "El Cuerpo del Deseo".
Relentless about learning, Cimarro moved to Los Angeles in 2007, to polish his craft in American cinema starring in "Rockaway" for which he received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Juju. He also starred soon after as SN in "Puras Joyitas", which has quickly rose to become a number one box office hit in Venezuel

Charles Anastase

Charles Anastase s world is unsettling. Its population is girls (never women; they never reach that age), girls whose supernaturally elongated proportions are stretched still farther by long dresses and treacherously high platform shoes. Its atmosphere is a mix of the proper and the perverse: Cue the schoolgirl blouse that is buttoned neatly up to the neck and pinned with a pussycat brooch—but that is also entirely see-through. And its culture is Gallic, almost to the point of vaudeville. Anastase comes on like the professional Frenchman abroad, all zese-zose zest for la mode, with Pierrot collars and a Bardot sweater dress slipping off a model's shoulders on the runway, and Serge Gainsbourg's songs all over the soundtrack.

The Gainsbourg backing track made one think that the girls, with their heavy-rimmed glasses, mussed bobs, and pretty pouts, might be modeled after the singer's onetime girlfriend Jane Birkin—that is, until Anastase's right hand, Valentine Fillol-Cordier, popped up backstage with heavy-rimmed glasses ("Blind since 5," she said cheerily), mussed bob, and pretty pout. Her sweetness infected Anastase in a positive way: drop waists, flower-studded netting, sheerness that was perversely demure. Perhaps it helped that he built his collection on a dotted Swiss fabric called plume matis, which brought delicacy to maîtresse-y pencil skirts at the same time as it underlined the skewed classicism of his vision. (As did the silver brocade pieces, simultaneously ancien régime and rock 'n' roll.) Anastase's world may be unsettling, but it is remarkably consistent—and that's called a signature.
