Gucci launches 'zero-deforestation' handbag mongabay.com March 07, 2013 Green Gucci handbags. Courtesy of Gucci Gucci has rolled out a collection of 'zero-deforestation' handbags. Each handbag comes with a "passport" that provides the history of the product's supply chain going back to the ranch that produced the leather. The line emerged out of concerns that leather in the fashion industry is contributing to deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, where roughly two-thirds of forest destruction is for cattle production. A 2009 Greenpeace campaign targeting the fashion industry and shoemakers led cattle producers to agree to introduce supply chain tracking and other safeguards to phase out deforestation. "This is a breakthrough moment for sustainable style," says Livia Firth, the fashion designer who launched the Green Carpet Challenge, an initiative that pushes the fashion industry to design more eco-friendly products. The handbag is Gucci's first product under the initiative. Deforestation for cattle pasture in Brazil Related articles
CE | 20/20 Magazine When it comes to shopping, men have gotten a bad rap. Countless articles, books and “industry surveys” have suggested that women possess better shopping skills than men. If women really are from Venus, the surface of that planet is obviously covered by sophisticated networks of shopping malls— while the neighborhoods on Mars are comprised of sports bars, garages and golf courses. As a self-appointed representative of the male consumer, I’d like to point out the problem is not a lack of skill but a lack of will. Of course this doesn’t mean that all men are average but …. This explains why most retail industries (including retail ophthalmics) direct most of their efforts to the female consumer. So, prepare to dive into the peculiar (and sometimes frightening) habits of the male consumer. MALE CONSUMER HABIT #1 — MEN ARE FAST SHOPPERS Men spend less time looking for the things they buy. This habit has two ramifications for the eyecare practitioner (ECP). “Why We Buy” by Paco Underhill
Fashion Design Undergraduate Program | www.esmod.com This program allows students to acquire excellent technical skill while simultaneously developing and refining their creative abilities. Objectives: To be able to design and construct a collection of clothing and accessories in various domains of the fashion industry, specializing in a specific market in their final year. Program: This program is divided equally between design and patternmaking two distinct skill sets known in France as Stylisme and Modelisme. Stylisme involves the creative design aspect while Modelisme translates that vision into a constructed garment through draping, cutting and sewing. The combination of these disciplines is what gives ESMOD’s methodology its added value and gives its graduates their unparalleled expertise: technical and creative. Students are also taught fashion sketching, illustration, trend forecasting, textiles, history of art and costume, CAO, Photoshop, MAO patternmaking in 3D and English for fashion. 1st Year: Learning the Fundamentals
