History of Fashion: Jeanne Lanvin

Lanvin, the eldest of 11 siblings, started working for 13 years as a girl of errands, then became a seamstress and dressmaker finally. For 18 years opened a hat itself. In 1895 he married an Italian nobleman, Emilio di Pietro, but his marriage broke up eight years later, when her daughter Marguerite had six.

Love made his little Lanvin started designing delicate dresses in bright colors, which is dramatically opposed to simple models of clothing for adults who were children at the time. Thus, while designing his first collection of children, placed the first stone of his fashion house.

Shortly afterwards created a line for young girls and another for women, becoming the first designer to take into account the different age groups.

Introduced a new fashion item: the youth, because their patterns simple and innocent and bright colors give the women of any age look feminine and romantic. His clothes have ankle tissue vaporous history of fashion and style robes.

Was launched in 1926 to design fashion for men, so they could dress in your living room the whole family. Over a century later, his room is still owned by the heirs of the founder.

Touring Italy For Vacation and Travelling

For many tourists in Italy, "when in Rome" eventually leads to "when are we off to Florence?" The Italian Government Tourist Board estimates that more than half of the country's first-time vacationers visit at least three popular cities. Now, a few of the Italy hotels groups offer independent tours so guests can hop between cities at their own pace.

The Baglioni Hotels Group, with luxury properties in Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Bologna and Verona, has its Baglioni Bespoke program. Tourists can spend six nonconsecutive nights in at least three of their hotels over a two-week period. "We have noticed that travelers want to customize their trips and agendas on their own time," said Luca Magni, a senior vice president of the company.

Venice
Venice is a prominent city which is the capital of Veneto, which is part of a province located in Italy. Next to Rome and Milan, Venice is one of the most well known cities in the country. It has a population of just over 270,000 people, and is a historical center of Italy.

Hotels in Venice are internationally renowned and have a class of its own.

Fetishistic clothing

Because this is Valerie Steele's second book on the topic of fetishistic clothing, her opening statements that she is an outsider to the paraphilias and perversions that she discusses seems a bit hollow. When she says that she is only "a cultural historian specializing in fashion" there's no need to fear: while the book is rigorously researched and loaded with valuable bibliographic references to previous researchers in the area, it's apparent that underneath her cool prose Steele really gets a kick out of her subject, if only on an intellectual level. Dividing her book into sections based on the various fetishes (corsets, shoes, second-skin fabrics, underwear), Steele shows a remarkable facility with the history and trivia of each item of clothing. This produces some amusing juxtapositions, such as when she reveals little-known information about the Chinese practice of footbinding, and a page later presents a Tom of Finland picture of a nude man surrounded by motorcycle-booted feet. There are plenty of drawings and photographs here, ostensibly to supplement the reading. Photos range from 19th-century Viennese ultra-high-heeled shoes to contemporary neo- gothic hipster chicks in corsets and leather. This is obviously not a book for children, but it's also far more than a collection of erotica in that it presents an informative and well-researched history of fetishism and the theories that have been put forward to explain it.
