Outrageous Japanese fashion wants to go global

  Big hair. No, like, really big hair. Tanned skin. And incredibly long nails. Meet the young women of Black Diamond. You are ready to go worldwide.

In Japanese, this fashion style is called "gal" (or ギャル Gyaru). The view goes against traditional Japanese ideas of feminine beauty: pale skin and dark hair. The subculture has its roots Japanese youth fashion, when young brown hair to die in the 1990s and hit the tanning salons began.

Westerners often think that this aspect will try to copy the foreigners, but a better way to understand how the youth in the West is to be dyed green hair rebel. This is what happened here.

Also note that this method does not necessarily designed to appeal to Japanese men. Many men find incredibly embarrassing trend of Japan (except for the guys who dressed in the version of guy so). Instead, it was largely a subculture attractive women for other women, something that is evident in the most extreme iterations as "ganguro" (ガングロ), the abbreviation for "deep black" and "Yamanba" (ヤマンバ), which relates to Witch Mountain !

But around 2001, there was a "boom pale" skin in Japan and tanned girls seemed even more marginalized. Female subculture that Black Diamond is the head seems to be both a revival and a ganguro response to the trend of the decade long pale skin.

Black Diamond, but not as ganguro, since the word a bit outdated. Instead, about 100 members of the group are themselves a "unit hada Kuro," with "kuro hada" calls (黒 肌) meaning "dark-skinned" or "dark skin."

Interestingly, Black Diamond does not really use the term "circle of gal," which is what this gal groups or clubs during the last decade were called.

In the 2000s, the largest group of gal gal was a group called Tokyo "Angeleek" actually members telephone interview and apply for membership. Angeleek organizes events in dance clubs where members could make drill team style dance routines.

Angeleek seems to have run away sands, and Black Diamond is the spiritual successor, with members in Japan, Tokyo Meet-ups and regular trips to spots and shopping malls Shibuya sticker fun picture. Elements out of the way, as they say giant flowers in her hair, a revision of the 1990 trends gal.

Black Diamond, but does not seem happy not in fashion magazines like Egg gal or simply appear, appear in dance clubs in Tokyo. Via his Facebook page, the group sold gal fashion for people outside of Japan and is actively trying to recruit non-Japanese members.

This week has announced worldwide BlackDiamond its intention to distribute "an original song and video". The device itself try crowd fund production costs.

Currently on YouTube Black Diamond and Facebook pages, the device is "elections" for people to vote for their favorite singer in Black Diamond.

Where art meets luxury shopping

  At the inauguration of the K11 art space in Shanghai last Friday, a middle-aged couple standing with tanned skin and gold teeth before installing a cascade of several million tightening their ears with their hands, face grimaced as if in pain.

A musical and multimedia 45 minutes Japanese electro-acoustic artist Ryoji Ikeda, with his sharp and frenetic lights flickering black and white techno beats, patience and torque tested hearing.

"Sound Art is very avant-garde," Adrian Cheng, president and K11 art lover said earlier in the day. "This is very new."

It is the business proposal K11 marry detail in art. Mr. Cheng, who is also the managing director of the Hong Kong-based New World Development Co. Ltd. 0017.HK +0.76% and Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Ltd. 1929.HK 1.54% planning, 19 of these centers build integration through commercial art

Mr. Cheng, 33, and already one of the richest men in the world by assets, is bullish, its new retail concept at a time when the economy of China is getting slower and an ominous shadow in the form of austerity more luxury consumption form.

Punishment of Luxury gift among government officials will affect sales, he said, but he warned of the luxury market in China is complex and tries to ensure that it stays. Shanghai flagship tenant K11 elegant Huaihai Road include Burberry, Max Mara, Armani watches and life concept store design Chinese designers Wang Yang Yaang.

"Luxury is very complicated," Cheng, who is the grandson of Hong Kong tycoon Cheng Yu-teng said.

"The market has the biggest hit is nothing special, but the side of the luxury or premium class," he said, adding that "affordable luxury" is good for ultra-luxury items -. Prices above 20,000 yuan ($ 3,200) - and luxury items at an average price of about 3,000 yuan are resilient, he says, but between the two, things "hurt a bit.".

However, he said that some brands, even in this area can be a good performance when they differentiate themselves from others or have strong personalities.

"Lifestyle and value added for the customer is the key to success, too," Cheng said.

Mr. Cheng, whose family owns a chain of Ferrari dealers in China, said that the cars an example of resilience ultra-luxury Ferarri Several models have a waiting list in China, because the demand for them is so high.

"Ferrari is a little different because it is a very niche market," he said.

The global impact of the economic slowdown in China and led by government austerity measures is not so important for shopping centers such as K11, Cheng said.

"Disposable income actually increases. People want to go to physical stores to communicate, connect, and build community," Cheng said. "It's just that you more sensitive to the price point for the sake of humor."

Mr. Cheng said that this has been reflected since its soft opening in January in the performance of K11. "The restaurants in the mall are packed every night," he said. The Mall will officially open its doors next month.

Some analysts warn against excessive expansion in the luxury segment and note that some segments of the luxury goods such as watches and spirits industry has been hard hit China. However, the Chinese middle class, things like handbags and jewelry always provide long-term growth for luxury makers want, said Aaron Fischer, an analyst at brokerage CLSA Asia Pacific Markets.

Next step in the deployment plan of Mr. Cheng Shenyang, a city in the north of China is experiencing an oversupply of retail space.

But again, Mr. Cheng is bullish: "We have 260,000 square feet of gross floor area of ​​work," Mr. Cheng said on Friday, wearing a blue coat Fashion Burberry trench, mustard pants and sports shoes. "We are the largest (center) in the northeastern region," he said.

Dedicated to the official start of the art commercial center of Shanghai area hope Mr Cheng is that most consumers to combine shipping costs with commercial art. The opening exhibition features 26 works by Chinese and foreign artists, to July and is entitled "Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and Money" - more melodic themes, perhaps, Chinese ears.

  Luxury jewelry brand Graff was not an official appearance at the Baselworld 2013 show. However, representatives of the company were in the city of Basel, where the largest Swiss watch fair in the world needed his new collection of luxury watches will be shown to the press in a nearby hotel.

It is quite common for companies to hold visits of their products outside the fairgrounds. There are a variety of reasons why a company might.

The founder of the London jeweler Laurence Graff, some of the most precious diamonds and colored gemstones is known for buying in the world, and for the creation and construction of bold, elegant jewelry with diamonds and gemstones reporting for private clients.

As might be expected from Graff, luxury watches were on display big and bold with lots of diamonds and precious stones.

Dials come (dark blue to black and white) in many colors and materials, mother of pearl and diamonds. Signed a declaration on the dial is a triangular or diamond for 12 hours.

Even with the bling factor in these pieces, there is also a refinement of the drawings, a salient feature of Graff products.

In addition, these watches are in the slide show that accompanies more than just show pieces. Complications such as swirls and elements of the chronograph are on the agenda. All are mechanical movements with some help from the Caliber Graff 1, designed and produced in Switzerland for Graff.

Chanel Cruise: Karl Lagerfeld launches in Singapore

  There was a time when Singapore was the jewel of the East of the British Crown, the man, the game was part of everyday life.

In these days, the condition of the island is better than a paradise for the latest gadgets and pockets bulging known, but through the eyes of Karl Lagerfeld, cricket gear is still relevant mode in such fees colonial spaces.

If Lagerfeld sent models down the Chanel Cruise Collection Fashion Show last in Singapore last Thursday was one of the surprises of the evening, the incorporation of the utensils of cricket in the region.

Performed by someone else could a bat and shins as purely symbolic, prissy and a little moan to be considered worthy.

Instead, the subtle nods, unless the colonial past of the island surprised, delighted and brought out fierce nationalist property between the two Poms and Aussies in the audience. The Australian team prepares to buy Chanel large because the area hits stores in October, when the new Chanel flagship store in Melbourne.

9 May event was the first time an Asian city Chanel has decided to host the lucrative Cruise Collection. It was also the first visit to Singapore Lagerfeld as creative director of Chanel. (He attended decades ago.)

When asked on the eve of the show, why he chose Singapore, the master of one-liners simply said, "Why not" (My suggestion on world domination and a possible visit to Australia was met with a shrug. We take that as a maybe.)

After the show, Lagerfeld admitted that "Asia is the future of the world."
Fantasy is better than reality

The collection was presented at Loewen cluster in Dempsey Hill, a World Heritage Site in an old barracks. It was heavy, industrial, freshly painted. (The cruise collections of Chanel famous represented in unusual places, including old Parisian bus to Santa Monica Airport to Central Station and the Grand Los Angeles to New York.)

So while Lagerfeld had not spent much time in Singapore, he does not have much - or - time in India in front of his Paris-Bombay collection for Chanel in 2011. At the time, he told reporters "Imagination is better than reality ... it's much more inspiring not to go to places than to go."

His main inspiration for this collection was Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel and see if they opened their first store in France in 1913.

It has ultra-thin female figures, wide leg pants, flowing skirts with brand bicolor pumps, soft pencil dresses, dramatically after five dresses and a lot of courage to bare skin to show your tan produced this piece. Lagerfeld accessorized with flowers many brands beads, sequins and camellia.

Chanel was the first fashion house, a cruise collection. Miss Chanel wanted to offer his well-heeled clients a wide range of lightweight comfortable and flattering clothing for tax recreational activities such as sailing, cruising in the pool, go to a spa and general jet-set. It launched the look of elegance with practical, with easy-care fabrics such as jersey.

Other labels have since followed, including Stella McCartney, Ralph Lauren, Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. Dior presented its cruise collection 19 May in Monaco.

The range almost seems made for Australia and will be a business priority for Chanel.

Among the 1,000 spectators at the Singapore show were David Blakeley, CEO of Chanel (Australia and New Zealand), and his colleague Ian Clark, CEO of fashion, with four sets of VIP Australian customers. Blakeley said: "The collection is perfect expired as it starts early in the Australian summer with its lightweight construction and manufacturing, it is well accepted by customers in Australia.."

Global Head of Chanel fashion, Bruno Pavlovsky, told Life & Leisure Australia can prepare geographical difficulties, but certainly not the customer loyalty. Chanel has 180 boutiques worldwide. Australia has five, Singapore has only two.

"With five stores, I think it is a good sign," Pawlowski said. "Something really works well between Chanel and Australia." You must convince your clients, customers, the press, that what you do makes sense. Fashion is about the ability to start six times per year, from scratch. "
