Kylie Ann Minogue The Exhibition

Kylie Ann Minogue: The Exhibition

Kylie - The Exhibition explores and celebrates Kylie Minogue, who began her career playing the character of Charlene, the girl next door in Neighbours, and went on to become an international pop sensation known the world over simply as Kylie.

The exhibition features costumes and memorabilia collected over Kylie's career and was inspired by her donation to the Arts Centre's Performing Arts Collection in Melbourne, Australia, in 2003.

The Kylie Minogue Collection contains over 600 costumes and accessories, many created by the world's leading fashion designers.

A selection of them are presented in this exhibition which has been divided into six themes - Music and Video, On Tour, On Stage, Image, Icon, and Backstage - to reflect the many aspects of Kylie's career.

Vivienne Westwoods Fashion Exhibition

Vivienne Westwood's Fashion Exhibition

An arresting array of more than 150 garments and accessories, from the gloriously elegant to the rebelliously provocative, by the iconoclastic fashion designer Vivienne Westwood will be showcased in this spirited and engaging exhibition.

The work, created over 35 years, encompasses styles from the street style of the 1970s to grand ball gowns whose designs were influenced by historical art and dress, to the more recent exploration of pattern-cutting techniques and socio-political critique.

Organized by the V&A, London, the exhibition is the largest display that the museum has ever dedicated to a British designer and features designs selected from both the V&A's collection and Vivienne Westwood's personal archive.

The San Francisco showing, the only North American venue thus far, is the culmination of a three-year international tour of eight European, Asian, and Pacific Rim venues.

Riddles on the Runways

Riddles on the Runways

It isn't necessary to be weird in order to be cool.

The fall 2007 collections opened here on Sunday with presentations by designers known for pushing fashion toward the edges of understanding.

No other major city on the fashion circuit, including New York and London, is so amenable to designers who speak in riddles and half-truths.

Paris nurtures designers who believe a career can be built on expensively tattered rags or artfully destroyed sweaters. And thank goodness.

These are the creative goofballs and intellectuals who keep the fashion industry off balance, who keep it from getting too comfortable with what was profitable last year and the year before that.

They are invaluable to an industry fueled by the unexpected.

Nokia 7373 Special Edition Meets Giambattista Valli

Nokia 7373 Special Edition Meets Giambattista Valli

Drawing upon the accolades of its highly regarded L'Amour Collection, Nokia has joined creative forces with talented fashion designer Giambattista Valli to craft the Nokia 7373 Special Edition.

For this one-of-a-kind cooperation between a thriving creator of new designs and the pioneer in mobile fashion accessories, Nokia returns to the style capital of Paris during Fashion Week.

Here the efforts to fuse fashion with mobility began in 1999 with the introduction of the Nokia 8210.

"I was intrigued by the inspiration to define the mobile phone as a fashion accessory," explains Giambattista Valli.

"Like a dress, shoes and jewelry, the Nokia 7373 Special Edition phones follow the theme of my collection and I immediately imagined them as silhouettes dressed in my work.

Depending on your mood, you swap bags and transfer the contents.

Amazing to see how Nokia has applied this idea to the world of mobility.

Just swap SIM cards from one mobile phone to another to match your personal style."

A true fashion phone, the Nokia 7373 Special Edition combines the splendor of the L'Amour Collection and the trendsetting talent of Giambattista Valli.

The Nokia 7373 Special Edition comes in two contemporary colors, both enticingly paired with signature Giambattista Valli phone accessories.

New HM Collection Features Organic Cotton

New H&M Collection Features Organic Cotton

This spring collection from H&M introduces a desirable fashion range for women, teens, children and babies.

The clothing line, featuring organically grown cotton, will be available in selected stores in all H&M markets from March 2007.

"These clothes are great pieces of the moment.

They combine a conscious choice of materials with the latest design, allowing you to look just as good on the outside as you feel on the inside," says H&M's head of design Margareta van den Bosch.

Organic cotton is cotton grown without the use of harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

The annual world production of organic cotton is still very limited and represents less than one per cent of all cotton.

In order to increase the demand for organic cotton and thereby encourage cotton growers to convert to organic cultivation, H&M started to use organic cotton a few years ago.

At the start, it was included mainly in a selection of babies' and children's garments.

H&M has subsequently worked towards using an increased amount of organic cotton.

In addition, H&M became a member of Organic Exchange, an organisation that promotes organic cotton worldwide, in 2003.
