Many others simply curious about the tendency of vintage. Glasses, scarves, handbags, jackets, but also accessories, posters, vinyl records, household objects: any object on the back has a couple of decades is perfect to be sold to collectors of the genre, but also ordinary people who leave the heart (and wallet) in the very rare clutch of crocodile on display. Ample space is dedicated to remake the area, up to every issue: stands offering curios, jewelry, clothes, everything strictly recycled or reworked to give it a retro, old and therefore completely out of fashion.

In the continuous and desperate stroke of marketing fashion to produce the bag must-haves of the season or even year, what might be best to inspire hope that a product like Lana del Rey in the standings with his first disc in 19 countries? Following the success of a similar desire to Mulberry was inspired by Lana del Rey for the design of its latest must-have bag.

The divine Dita Von Teese, the undisputed queen of the world of Burlesque, seductive, and ultra-feminine with her pale skin, makeup and the look of the forties, has scored another hit in his successful career as a star in the unstoppable rise. For years now we're used to seeing her on top of that niche of vaudeville, what is the Burlesque, who was able to revive guessing the potential for authentic gold mine.

Time has passed since then and despite not count for more in the world its imitators, the burlesque classes for desperate housewives who want to put a little 'pepper in their home life, and beyond, and celebrations and goodbyes to celibacy in which this kind of performance are in demand, she is always the best and never misses a chance to prove it.

As in Melbourne, Australia, where he launched his first line of lingerie called "Von Follies", created for Target Australia. For the parade Dita Von Teese Models chose curvy, soft and buttery, just like her, just as men dream of their ideal woman is. A true triumph of femininity, pure. On the catwalk at last no artifice of man, but directly to Mother Nature.

A show that was much appreciated not only from the women who felt they were finally free not to force their bodies to unnatural fees, but especially by men who did not think it's true, after the usual skinny models, to finally see real women and desirable paraded before their eyes.

Final twist with the divine on the catwalk to show that yes, the girls from her choices are fabulous, but the real goddess is always and only she, as demonstrated in the countryside, very hot, the lingerie line "Von Follies".

In the aftermath of the last fashion show designed by the brilliant Riccardi Tisci for Givenchy, the prestigious French fashion house is time to look ahead and find a good absolutely as soon as possible because it replaced the carousel fashion, with presentation of the cruise and pre-fall collections continues to turn and can not fail for any reason, for a farewell suffered like the Italian designer who has forever closed her own creative experience with the fashion house that has literally saved from the brink, restoring an aura of sublime excellence in the world of fashion systems.

But now played his cards face up and trick or bluff is clear to all, with serious repercussions on sales and market value of the Dior brand. All because, after one year from the dismissal of John Galliano, the leaders have not yet managed to find a replacement just as charismatic.

LVMH, the French luxury giant and owner of the brand Givenchy, does not want to take this risk and, from what is rumored, has already put the fifth in his search for a worthy successor to Riccardo Tisci, and according to rumors , have also been identified by Sebastian Suhl, chief operating officer of the Prada Group, the new artistic director of Givenchy.
