Wardrobe for Summer
What can spell more comfort than cotton in summer? A fabric preferred by millions for its light, breathable appeal, cotton is a staple during hot summers in India. As temperatures begin to soar from April, many of us put away the synthetic blend fabrics and bring out the cottons. Cotton probably entered the Indian wardrobe by the way of Khadi. Though rustic and thicker than normal cotton, khadi clothes are handwoven and eco-friendly. The mulmul cotton is however the best suited for hotter climes. This fabric comes in eclectic prints and minimizes perspiration. Summer wardrobe mostly comprises of light clothing. Dresses, skirts and shorts are best outfits to wear during summer.
Cool, breezy tops paired with culottes work well for office, too. One garment to be avoided is the Jeans. Though comforting and fitting for many, it may not be wise to wear it when mercury levels soar. Colors also play an equally important role. Pastel shades are soothing to the eyes of onlooker and also makes the wearer feel comfortable. It is a known fact that darker shades absorb more heat and as a result the wearer feels sweaty or warmer than the ambient temperature. So, it is no surprise that white is a favorite color for many designers while designing a line for summer. The opposite effect is brought on by black. Not that black is inauspicious or anything. Beware of superstitions! Fact is black absorbs heat. Hence, naturally when the sun is at its peak, and you wear black, suffocation due to heat is bound to occur. Black may be ideal for night wear. The little black dress is not immortalized for nothing! Sometimes, one can rely on common sense, which is rather uncommon. If that is the case, draw upon reserves of your experiences with colors and seasons.
Pastels and dark shades can be mixed and matched. For instance, a pastel or white top can be paired with darker shade cotton trouser or skirt. This summer, wear an A-line skirt with paisley prints and team it with a light colored top or vintage blouse. Possibilities are endless. Summer dresses are also a great option to be stylish and stay cool at the same time. Those wearing traditional outfit can choose cotton sarees or kurtas. Indian handlooms from different parts of the country offer a huge variety in cotton fabrics and sarees. Make the best of exhibitions held in your town. This way you will also support the local artisans besides getting a ethnic addition to your wardrobe.
While you are all busy looking at clothes, don’t forget to equip yourself with basic summer care items. Make sure to invest in UV protective sunglasses. These will shield your eyes from scorching sun. Also, wear a sun-screen, if you are allergic to sunlight. Choose one without heavy chemicals in it. Or, let the skin soak in all the goodness of vitamin D freely available from sun. One gets to see women with their faces covered up in scarves in many towns and cities of India. That is one good option especially if you want to protect your skin without using chemicals. However, it is best to avoid outdoors when sun’s rays are at their strongest. Keep cool with beverages and juices.

HAUTE COUTURE TODAY
Cristina Pereira - Fashion Designer
‘Haute couture’ goes back several centuries, specifically the year 1868, when the needle artists came together to form the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, a body to regulate this business and today is encompassed within the Fédération Française de la Couture, du Prêt – à -Porter des Couturiers et des Créateurs de Mode, founded in 1973 and located at number 100 rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré.
The French Ministry of Industry and Fédération Française own the Couture are responsible to dictate what homes are termed ‘haute couture’.
The requirements are first: should create custom designs and offer several test sessions to ensure that clothes stay perfect. Moreover, firms have to have a workshop in Paris who works full time and has more than twenty employees. And finally, present two new collections a year, one in January and one in July, composed of both pieces for day and night.
A collective known as ‘les petite mains’ is in charge of creating each piece by hand. A process in which they can get to invest hundreds of hours using the highest quality fabrics. It is not surprising, therefore, that the cheaper parts reach a price of several thousand euros. A value that increases in the number of craftsmen, time, design and materials used.
Very expensive and unique pieces that just are handmade and custom and take months to be delivered. The couture houses say the double-digit increase in sales is due to the arrival of a new consumer, largely from the technology industry.
The tension between past and present is inevitable in a discipline that continues to identify the fifties as its golden age as care to remember an exhibition that will open on July 12 at the Galliera Museum in Paris. A decade which served as inspiration for Donatella Versace theoretical in their parade on Sunday. Although Versace also took the time reference with much freedom and ended up bringing the issue to his usual spot at the hands of corsets, leather and metal closures and gowns that bare legs to the limit.
If you take the word ‘couture’ to the letter, its definition would be making exclusive pieces created customized. However, the label ‘haute couture’ involves much more than creating garments for a unique public alike; has become an art. Also fashion and technology have become good friends.
On the first day of parades of haute couture collections for fall / winter 2014-2015 in Paris coexist praise the virtuous craftsmanship of these outfits with nods to technology. Which may be the salvation of a discipline that is presumed dead a decade ago and can not be pre-digital any more. It is as if, 15 years after finishing high school, computer nerds and art students have reunited to discover their affinities. First, Apple announced the signing of a third executive of the luxury industry: VP Tag Heuer, one of the largest matchmaking industry group (LVMH), joins the CEO of Burberry and Yves Saint Laurent. Moreover, the couture houses say the increase in sales is due to the arrival of a new consumer, largely from the technology industry.
Despite the exorbitant prices they can achieve some of their designs; the haute couture business is not as profitable as you might think. It has also changed the profile of its portfolio of major customers, which today has evolved from the upper echelons of society: French potential buyers when they coined the term large fortune from Russia, Eastern Europe and China.
In a world obsessed with youth, tend to want to modernize. Especially since this artisan craft, is about 150 years old, lives in the stronghold of tyrannical imaginable renewal fashion. But the transformation is not easy task when, in essence, you are an archaic discipline.
The presentation of haute couture collections for spring / summer recently held in Paris has become a conference on the future of the few artisans who can still make embroidered able to excite and also how to make your watermarks appeal to a new generation as it is setting the market where the age of the target audience has dropped between 30 and 40 years of potential clients.
Seek tuning with a technological society: “This is history, but with a current viewpoint,” argues the president of Dior, Sidney Toledano, “The generation that is now thirty years has gone into high fashion and looking for an updated tradition. That Raf Simons, director of creative brand since 2012 does it very well. It is not a pure review. As the great painters, incorporating earlier works in a speech that promotes discipline forward. It reminds me of El Greco, whose work I have admired recently in Toledano, and the way in which incorporated the legacy of his predecessors to build something new and proper”.
The designer Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel’s creative director since 1983, is aimed at rejuvenating couture: all models parade (including the bride) wore sneakers. Yes, conducted by the shoemaker Massaro in lace and exotic skins.
The haute couture spring / summer 2014 Chanel was held, as usual, at the Grand Palais in Paris transformed this once in an area dubbed Club Cambon (referring to the street where the headquarters of the company is) thanks to spectacular scenery.
Today, the picture ‘haute couture’ it up like Atelier Versace firms Lithuania, Chanel, Dior, Giambattista Valli, Alexis Mabille, Elie Saab, Valentino, Zuhair Murad, Stephane Rolland, Jean Paul Gaultière , Giorgio Armani Privé or Viktor & Rolf.

Film language in one minute
How many different aspects of film language could I fit in a one-minute film? That was last summer’s challenge.
I like to use short film examples at the beginning of my basic filmmaking courses, to help people realise how much is involved in telling a story with film. I wanted to cover shot size, sound, editing and lens angle.
So here’s the film (above). All shot with a Canon 60D, a 10-22 lens, and some old Olympus OM Zuiko manual focus primes (50mm, 85mm and 200mm, if I remember right). I also used a tripod, a monopod, a wheelchair, a 5-in-1 reflector and a Steadicam JR stabiliser. Edited and graded in Final Cut Pro X.
And here’s my shot-by-shot analysis of how it works (below).
I’ve used it on my introduction to film language page.
I planned the film in detail (the first page from the original storyboard is below). I also made a detailed shot list. But when I came to edit the film I ended up leaving out several shots that seemed redundant in favour of a shorter, punchier version.
