It is interesting to note how historic events impacts on fashion through the ages to modern times. And icons of years gone by, their quotations and philosophies have surfaced time and time again, as new generations discover their true meanings and adopt them to suit.

Often associated with styles of the era, it can be said that these philosophies are as constant as style.

So to be really different we have mixed some famous quotations with abstract fashion reviews, so learning becomes a double edged sword.

And, Some Famous Quotations by Albert Einstein, which surfaced timely during the 60’s hippy era.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

“I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.”

When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.”

Review

A Tapestry Of Tartan In A Tie; Direct from the Vivienne Westwood Fashion House, a vividly colourful collection of handmade silk ties, including this rendition of the classic tartan in true form. A mixture of navy and sky blue, pink, tulip and orange on richly textured silk twill.

Quotation

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music.
I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. … I get most joy in life out of music.”

Historic Chapter

French and British find common ground; Silk tie by Louis Feraud, Cufflinks by London Badge and Button. And adding flavour to cultural diversity, native wildflowers from Kings Park Botanic Gardens Perth Western Australia.

The Battle of Waterloo, The Eureka Stockade and the birth of the military style, later popularised by Tommy Nutter, renowned tailor to the Beatles and Rolling Stones.

On February 26th 1815, barely ten months after the end of the Peninsular War, Napoleon sailed from Elba to bring about the end of his brief period of exile. It was the beginning of the final, momentous chapter of the Napoleonic Wars that would culminate in the great battle of Waterloo and Napoleon’s final downfall.

Quotations

“I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive.”

“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”

Product Review

Silverado: Here, a fine collection of men’s cufflinks from Birmingham and beyond. Fashioned from malleable silver and combined with classic and contemporary materials from enamel to resin. Each piece is unique in its own right, and, due to good design their value is retained for many years to come, ready to hand down to the next generation.

Quotation

Confrontation conquers fear, hope arises, truth unfolds. Fear is merely a state of mind; there is no substance to it. Realising this fact temporarily frees the mind of the compounds of fear.

Historic Chapter

The Eureka rebellion, which is often referred to as the ‘Eureka Stockade’ is a key event in the development of Australian democracy and Australian identity, with some people arguing that ‘Australian democracy was born at Eureka’ (Clive Evatt). In addition, the principles of mateship, seen to be adapted by the gold diggers, and the term ‘digger’ was later adopted by the ANZAC soldiers in World War I.

Quotation

The Little Red Book; Thoughts Of Moa On Art and Fashion: Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting the progress of the arts and the sciences and a flourishing socialist culture in our land. Different forms and styles in art should develop freely and contend freely. We think that it is harmful to the growth of art and science if administrative measures are used to impose one particular style of art or school of thought and to ban another. Questions of right and wrong in the arts and sciences should be settled through free discussion in artistic and scientific circles and through practical work in these fields. They should not be settled in summary fashion.

Product reviews Four

The 60’s: Reminiscent of the sixties flower power era. Subsequently it triumphed in every decade since. Also The Monkees hit number one Billboard Charts with hit song “I’m A Believer” penned by Neil Diamond.

Bright And Beautiful: Like all things bright and beautiful, gratification is finding out. Why flowers are chosen by designers? They reflect the brilliant hues of nature and easily found in, linen, silk, wool and cotton, condensed into all forms of decoration for us to appreciate.

Children Of The Revolution; “Iconic Influences” The “Icons Cufflink Collection”, featuring, Che Guevara, Sir Winston Churchill and Marilyn Monroe are brought to vibrant life, using sterling silver, enamel and Swarovski Crystals to create instantly recognisable forms. But, unfortunately, nowhere to be seen, is the formidable Fidel Castro, however he needs no introduction and, highly respected. T-rexs’ hit song best describes “Children of the Revolution” We’ve displayed Che Guevara before. And, do so again in honour of Fidel Castro’s 50 year experiment.

There are many Fashion Marketing Schools throughout the world, of varying standards and reputations.

Fashion designers create the latest styles which appear on the catwalks and in shops and finally are available for purchase. All this is done with fashion marketing.

Fashion marketing students can learn from professionals about the hows and whys of the fashion industry and various fashion cycles. They can participate in field trips, undertake projects and learn everything about trends and fashions in internships.

There are many things to learn if you are interested in working in the fashion industry. It is not simply a case of what is in fashion and what is not. You will need to learn about business management, advertising strategies, marketing techniques, merchandising and display, retail management and fashion coordination – basically, everything to do with the industry.

Fashion marketing school is not an easy option but if you live and breathe fashion, it could well be perfect for you. Not everyone would do well at a fashion marketing school. Are you fascinated by fashion? Do you have good fashion sense and a sense of style? Do you know what is in style right now? Do you want to use your fashion sense to follow a rewarding career in the fashion industry?

If you have a degree in Fashion Marketing, you can choose which career you want. Some of the choices are a fashion coordinator, fashion buyer, store or boutique manager or owner, a visual merchandiser or a retail merchandiser.

There is always the possibility of becoming a top designer one day too but you must never think that working in the fashion industry is easy. It requires a lot of natural creative skill, business aptitude and plenty of hard work.

Fashion marketing is about combining advertising, design, business administration and an understanding of how the fashion world functions and what is going to be fashionable in the future based on current fashions and pop culture. If you are a fashion marketer, you will bring the ideas from the designers down the potential buyers, from behind the scenes.

If this sounds like the type of career you would be passionate about, it is vital to select a good fashion marketing school which offers the right kind of program for you and a great training schedule. You will need to attain good exam results to apply for a place in most respected fashion marketing schools. You can apply by mail or even online for places.

Fashion marketing students can specialize in fashion textiles, accessories, footwear markets and more, once they have studied the fashion marketing basics and covered all the groundwork necessary for a career in fashion.

If you are thinking about a career in fashion marketing, it could be a great step but you have to be a hundred percent sure that you have the necessary ambition, drive and aptitude to follow it through. A half-hearted approach will get you left behind.
