近排在和畢業collection裙子戰鬥,然後有好一些裙子部份，需要織織復織織，不能專心的我便一邊看戲看劇一邊織。因此，看了很多套劇集。

今次便介紹一套剛完第一season的外國劇- Jane by design

論Cast論劇本中規中矩,

但個人認為是此劇沒有過火的暴力及色情令人有清新的感覺,

(比較劇中十六歲的Jane Quimb和 vampire diaries的十七歲Elena Gilbert ,你會很明白我說什麼。)

然後當中有不少估計不到感動窩心位，有很多說不出話來的共嗚。可以說少少少Ugly Betty+少少少Gossip girl+少少少穿Prada的惡魔。

______________________________________________________________

via:www.facebook.com/JaneByDesignJaneQuimby（Erica Dasher）是一個性格古怪的女高中生，但卻對時裝有著特殊的興趣。與同齡的女孩比較起來，她總能捕捉到時尚界最熱門、最具亮點的東西。抱著好玩的態 度，她前往一家頂級時裝公司應聘，沒想到她過於成熟的外表竟讓對方錯把她當成了成年人。出於對時裝的熱愛，Jane不想讓自己的謊言曝光，但這也意味著她 必須在工作和高中的學習生活之間尋找平衡點。她很快意識到這幾乎是不可能的事情！進入公司之後，她被分配到著名時裝設計師Gray Chandler Murray（AndieMacDowell）手下當助理。 Gray大部分時間都花在「周遊世界」上－－她希望搶在別人前頭找到最新的流行趨勢。由於Gray總是不在家，這也給了Jane隱瞞真實身份的絕佳機會。 一段時間之後，Jane發現了時裝界的另一個秘密：要想獲得成功，就必鬚麵對勝競爭對手的挑戰。比如說……Gray的主要競爭對手 IndiaJourdain（DeBeaufort）。 India是Gray的前任助理，如今已另立門戶，成為一名高級設計師。 India對Gray 的地位垂涎三尺，總想著有一天能把她踩在腳下。幸運的是，Jane在英俊的資深設計師Jeremy Jones（RowlyDennis）那裡學到了很多東西。 Jane知道Jeremy對自己有好感，但她卻不敢輕易接受－－她在學校裡還有一個戀人，青 梅竹馬的戀人（Matthew Atkinson）。Jane最好的朋友Billy Nutter（Nicholas Roux）知道她的秘密後，主動幫助她在學校裡「打掩護」。 Jane的哥哥Ben（DavidClayton Rogers）也是她的忠實支持者。但Billy卻對Jane隱瞞了一個秘密－－Jane在學校裡的死敵LuluPope（Meagan Tandy）？那是Billy的女友。在朋友和家人的幫助下，Jane能夠設計出完美人生嗎？能夠成為夢想中的時裝設計師嗎？能夠開創屬於自己的時裝事業 嗎?

Jane Quimby (Erica Dasher) is a teenager who is mistaken for an adult and lands a job in a hip fashion house. She must balance her high school life and her job. She has her best friend Billy (Nick Roux) help her out, although he has a relationship with Lulu (Meagan Tandy), a girl who has been mean to Jane since the seventh grade. Jane's father died and her mother walked out on them. Her brother Ben (David Clayton Rogers) tries to make money by getting jobs, but the jobs never work out until he lands a job as the athletic assistant at Jane's school. Jane tries to be the best at her job and her school, juggling the everyday challenges of high school and the world of fashion.

故事中說述Jane隱瞞自己未成年,High School,Fashion industry一齊上,全靠"老友"Billy多次的幫助,然後兩面兼顧得來。

劇中的戲服絕對吸眼球,最喜歡這條"女主角"改造"的裙。

其中共嗚反思位:

via:www.facebook.com/JaneByDesign

 -有集說Jane要照顧一個出名model,帶出成名的年輕model背後所附出的代價就是沒有正常的校園生活。

-Billy為討好心儀對像的父親,改變壞男孩形象，但最後在Jane提點明白自我最緊要。

 -Billy幫大佬幫到差點坐監

驚喜位其一:

有Betsey Johnson客串 !!!!!?!?! o0o!!

飾演Billy的Nick Roux :]

昨日,跟Fashion Design友好一起去了看連卡佛2012年春夏家品及時尚生活的preview,連卡佛一向引入最優質,時尚及別具風格的產品,尤其一些年青designer的品牌。短短的半小時,看得我們眼花撩亂,二人在House of Hackney的動物印花前呆了,還有Klaas Kuiken的創意瓶子和Karl Lagerfeld設計的Orrefors by Karl Lagerfeld玻璃器皿。

1920至1940年代　昔日時尚今日再現

by Diane von Furstenberg

Benchmark’s Jens Risom Collection

2012年春夏家品及時尚生活

1920至1940年代　昔日時尚今日再現

今年春夏Lane Crawford的家品及時尚生活部充滿著建築元素，然而論及靈感源泉，還須追溯到令設計界面貌從此改變的20至40年代。今季我們特別向工業革命時期致敬，當年的審美觀念日新月異，與科技進步互相配合，令無窮無盡的可能得以綻放。人類對美與生俱來的傾慕以及我們對舒適的需求互相融合，匯聚成設計實用又詩意縈然的床上用品、家居香薰及傢俬。乾淨利落的線條、幾何形狀的圖案與實用的材料完美結合，彷彿令時光倒流至對後世影響深遠的包浩斯時期。

從Gentlemen’s Tonic線條剛陽的男士護理產品、Lee Broom及Jens Risom對30年代家居裝潢的現代詮釋，到Benchmark’s Jens Risom Collection及Terence Conran’s Barton Range純粹功能主義的設計，再到Diane von Furstenberg陶瓷系列中的拿手圖案，每一件是都對現代誕生時期的致意之作。

Spring / Summer 2012 Home & Lifestyle

Past to Present 1920s – 1940s

Architectural elements abound at Lane Crawford this Spring/Summer as we draw inspiration from the decades that forever changed the landscape of design. We pay tribute to the time of the industrial revolution, when evolving aesthetic values met with advances in technology that unleashed a world of possibilities.

This season, the human longing for beauty and our need for comfort merge in linens, home fragrances and furnishings that are both functional and poetic in their design. Clean lines, geometric patterns and practical materials conjure up the influential Bauhaus period.

From the masculine silhouettes of grooming accessories at Gentlemen’s Tonic, to Lee Broom and Jens Risom’s contemporary take on 1930’s upholstery and the pure functionality of Benchmark’s Jens Risom Collection and Terence Conran’s Barton Range, as well as Diane von Furstenberg’s signature print on her Chinaware collection, each piece is a deferential nod to the birth of modernity.

色彩宣言

House of Hackney

Claus Porto

Arzberg Porcelain

"今年春夏，Lane Crawford大膽揮灑的色調令人目不轉睛。絢麗斑斕的圖案散發著源源不絕的熱情，每個奪目的色塊都有其獨一無二的頻率。就算是家居用品，上面不拘一格的圖案都讓人目不轉睛，更令人深深體會到，藝術家的調色板蘊藏著無窮無盡的潛力。

House of Hackney栩栩如生、令人驚嘆的圖案、Missoni的經典印花、Chardons Bleus生氣勃勃、溫潤柔軟的傢俬、Squint活力四射、引人矚目的混搭傢俱、Claus Porto的豪華香皂、Arzberg Porcelain色彩斑斕的瓷器，還有Astier de Villatte的家居用品，這一切都充份體現了繽紛生活的真諦，每一件都是個性鮮明的藝術品。"


"Statement of Colour

Bold, sweeping statements of colour transfix the eye at Lane Crawford this Spring/Summer. Brightly hued prints radiate energy and each pantone colour block buzzes with its own frequency. Eclectic prints jostle for attention in home wares that celebrate the limitless potential of an artist’s palette.

This season’s Statement of Colour theme will be adored by all those who wish to live life in technicolour, free from the constraints of convention.

This joie de vivre is embodied in House of Hackney’s amazing visual prints, Missoni’s now legendary prints, Chardons Bleus’ lively soft furnishings, Squint’s exuberant mix and match statement pieces and Claus Porto’s luxury soaps, and Arzberg Porcelain’s colourful porcelains and Astier de Villatte’s homewares – each one encased in a vivid work of art. "

簡樸時尚

簡單之中蘊含著美感，而有時最簡單的愉悅是最美好的。今季以環境為基本的簡樸時尚主題體現了良知消費的真正理想。每件精挑細選的家居作品都是創意革新的傑作，向世人展示如何愛惜及利用地球寶貴的資源。

Klaas Kuiken

不妨披上Bemboka體貼肌膚的毛毯及披肩，及Uchino柔軟的毛巾，並盡情享受Cowshed及Dayna Decker奢華的環保香氛，而Klaas Kuiken既實用又極具創意的瓶子，必定會令您迸發靈感。永恆的風格、上乘的手工以及尊重大自然的不懈承諾完美合一，創造出值得珍愛一生的經典作品，Another Country的原木傢俬就是箇中傑作，是環保主義者最時尚優雅的選擇。

Environment

There is beauty in simplicity and sometimes the simplest pleasures are the greatest. This season’s Environment theme captures the true ideals of ethical consumerism. Each carefully selected homeware piece harnesses creativity and innovation in the loving use of our earth’s precious resources.

Wrap yourself in natural skin loving blankets and throws from Bemboka and towels from Uchino, indulge in luxurious eco diffusers from Cowshed and Dayna Decker or be inspired by the functional yet creative bottles by Klaas Kuiken.

Timeless style, fine craftsmanship and a commitment to respecting nature all meet to create pieces that will endure and be cherished for a lifetime, which can be seen from Another Country’s wood products. Being responsible has never looked so good.

才華互通

才華互通猶如兩個不完整的人相遇的故事，兩者各不相同、卻又相輔相成，整體大於各部分之和。這是一個合作的故事，講述了兩個工匠的心靈相遇之際，擦出的種種可能。

戀上插圖師Christian Taylor與傢俬設計師Charlie Crowther-Smith聯手創作的異想天開的Two Halves櫥櫃，並坐上由西班牙設計師Jaime Hayon構思、傢俬製造商Magis打造的泡沫形狀Piña椅，把玩由時尚大亨Karl Lagerfeld設計的Orrefors by Karl Lagerfeld玻璃器皿，您可盡情體驗大師心靈相遇而誕生的傑作。

而Jerome Cheng以中國最後一個狩獵民族鄂倫春族的神話為靈感，與 Taiping Carpets Limited、Earthpulse及Lane Crawford聯手，獨家設計出名為「狩獵」(Hunt) 的全套餐具及毛毯系列，盡顯傳統手藝的濃濃氣息，是令人傾心的懷舊之作。

Mutual Minds

Mutual minds is a tale of two halves, each one different but complimentary, where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. It is a story of collaboration, of the possibilities that reveal themselves when the minds of two artisans meet.

Fall in love with the whimsical Two Halves cabinet created by illustrator Christian Taylor and furniture maker Charlie Crowther-Smith or recline in the bubble-like Piña Chair, conceived by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon and brought to life by furniture manufacturer Magis, as well as the glasswares of Orrefors by Karl Lagerfeld designed by the fashion tycoon.

Also give your love and heart on preserving traditional craftsmanship by the dinnerware and rug collection designed by Jerome Cheng, who has teamed up with Taiping Carpets Limited, Earthpulse and Lane Crawford, in creating his exclusive “Hunt series” inspired by the mythology of Orochen, China’s last hunters.

Each piece is a union of two skill sets and visions, highlighting the creative power of relationships within the design community. The commitment is to something extraordinary and to the superlative quality that makes a piece of work of timeless.

在很小的時候,去過黃金海岸酒店,記憶是很有歐陸風情,有個小遊樂場。然後十年後,才再踏上這片地方。

也許這裏是一個有些過了氣的拍拖好去處或旅遊境點,但畢竟是婚紗相的熱門地點,四處充滿獨突歐陸風情,泊了各式各樣郵艇的碼頭,人工的黃金泳灘

及附近的餐廳有它迷人吸引之處。還有路邊特色小攤檔和商場不時舉辦的表演及活動,是其中一個情侶悠閒捨意走一走的好地方。

"LACOSTE Woman是時代獨立女性的精髓。靈感源於Lauren Hutton, Greta Garbo 及Diane Keaton，她們優雅、真實，自然地流露出時尚氣息。Felipe

Oliveira Baptist 於2010年被任命為創意總監，2012年春夏系列，他希望能將LACOSTE拓展至另一新領域。"

"今季平面廣告的創作，LACOSTE及BETC Luxe聘請了英國頂級的時裝攝影師Craig McDean參與。McDean為其在英格蘭北部的朋友拍攝照片而發現自已的攝影天賦。現在，他以紐約為基地，經常與各大的fashion houses合作。

Craig McDean的評論經常被國際時尚雜誌如Vogue, Another magazine 及W等刊登，結果讓一連串有影響力的女士肖像集中在一起。三位著名模特兒Aymeline Valade、Jac Jagaciak 及Joan Smalls，通過前衛的時裝攝影，表達了Lacoste的精神，反映出LACOSTE Woman"




兩條短片將於網上推出，展示LACOSTE woman於各自的領域表現的風格和態度。BETC Luxe已設置網站: lacoste.com/UCwoman 及banner campaign以推廣此全新的女裝系列。
