le fashion week de NEW YORK demenege

Après y avoir installé ses tentes quinze années durant, la semaine de la mode new-yorkaise quitte Bryant Park et devrait investir le Damrosch Park situé au cœur du Lincoln Center dès septembre 2010.
Le Damrosh Park accueillera dès 2010 la Fashion Week de New YorkEn effet, lors d’une déclaration faite mardi 3 février, le maire de New York, Michael R. Bloomberg, a expliqué qu'IMG Fashion (qui finance la Fashion Week) avait signé un accord de cinq ans avec le Lincoln Center afin d’y organiser la Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Comme le relate le "Women’s Wear Daily", si certains prennent ce changement avec une dose d’optimisme tel Zac Posen qui affirme être « très excité à l’idée que sa collection soit présentée au même endroit que les plus beaux ballets du monde », d’autres restent très critiques. En effet, installer l’évènement au sein du Damrosch Park, lieu considéré par certains comme moins accessible, fait craindre que des créateurs choisissent de présenter leurs collections dans leurs showrooms. Un avantage tout de même à ce déménagement, qui mettra peut-être tout le monde d’accord : le Damrosch Park, avec ses 8 083 mètres carrés, propose une surface 25 % plus importante que le Bryant Park.

A Healthy Body Image

There is so much pressure in today’s society and body image is one major one.
Whether reading a magazine, watching television or surfing the internet somehow
The weight factor seems to crawl itself in. I was watching TV the other night and
They were speaking about celebrity stars embracing their curves and aiming for healthier body images. I was so glad to hear that especially since most of Hollywood stars are SUPER skinny that they will soon disappear! I really hope more people follow through to achieve a healthy image! So many adolescents look up these stars and imitate they style and look I know for a fact because my adolescent cousin was struggling with her weight a made a comment on Hollywood stars being too thin!! Well, I got on her case and well we all worked at getting her back on track! At one point last year every magazine I would look at/read there were pictures of celebrities looking so thin they looked sick!! The headlines read “Anorexic celebrities” or “Shockingly Thin” so they are trying to highlight the fact that they are too thin which is O.K. Now, I think it was Monday, Jessica Simpson was part of the main headlines but the best part is they were highlighting her weight gain and they are assuming is about 10-15lbs. Personally I think the clothes she was wearing made it appear worse than it actually was but who cares about that, she looks healthier and happier isn’t that what we are supposed to aim for? So at this point I am confused when they are TOO THIN it’s an issue and when they GAIN a little it’s an issue; so what weight is a good weight?
What I think they are trying to point out is that if you don’t have an anorexia problem go live in Hollywood because they will definitely give you one!
