Thierry Mugler is dead

The fashion world says goodbye to another legend. Thierry Mugler – designer, visionary, haute couture genius and fashion director – died at the age of 73.

The designer’s death was informed through his social media accounts. In a farewell post on Instagram, he was described as “a visionary that imagination gave people around the world to make them bolder every day and dreamed of greater things”.

He was talked about “fashion director” because his every show grew up to the rank of a spectacle. He proposed avant -garde, extravagant, theater fashion. Although Manfred Thierry Mugler (in recent years he preferred to address him in this way) he retired in the early 2000s., he was still designing. He created unique creations for the biggest showbiznes stars: Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian and Cardi B.

Burda Media Polska has decided to close Elle Man, Focus and health itself

The crisis on the press market collects its next harvest. This time Burda Media Polska decided to close a group of titles related to the brand “Focus”, “Focus Historia”, “Focus Coaching”) and magazines “Elle Man” and “HEALTH”.

“When deciding on the reorganization of the portfolio, Burda reacts to a dynamically changing market situation, which results mainly from rapidly growing costs of paper, energy and services, as well as changes in consumer behavior. The portfolio reorganization will also allow you to improve the company’s operational activities and effective implementation of the adopted development strategy “– We read in a statement Burda Media Polska.

In 2020, the revenues of the Burda Media Polska Publishing House decreased by 20% to PLN 130.75 million, mainly due to a decrease in advertising revenues by 35.2 percent. 2021 did not bring further increases from advertisers. We would like to remind you that in 2021 the publishing house resigned after many years of running a biweekly “ Gala ”. The publishing decision should not surprise in the context of a large decline in the reading of the printed press in recent years. However, it can be suspected that the planned merger of Burda Media Polska from the Edipresse Group had the final influence on the decision.

New Haute Couture chapter: Chanel Spring-Lato 2022

The Chanel Haute Couture show in the spring-summer 2022 has already gone down in history-and all thanks to Charlotte Casiraghi, the music of Karl Lagerferd, who opened the show by entering the catwalk on a horse. It cannot be denied that this concept caused many extreme opinions on the web and initiated the discussion whether the presence of the animal on the catwalk was appropriate.

The new Chanel collection did not escape, which introduced the Haute Couture concept in a completely different dimension. The silhouettes of Chanel created under the artistic direction of Virgina Viard, were significantly different from what most of us associate with haute couture. There were no vast frill and feathers here, there were no great volumes, attached wings and the body of corsets who were fitting the body. Handicrafts, sophisticated tailoring and the power of detail were appreciated. Is it a new chapter in the history of haute couture?

4F will dress Olympians in Beijing

UŻ on February 4, the Olympic Znicz will light up at the XXIV Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022. The Polish team will once again perform in 4F costumes.

Work on the preparation of the collection lasted over three years. A number of challenges faced the team: the need to match the clothes to different needs depending on the sporting discipline, weather conditions in Beijing or the possibility of combining the assortment and its colors so that athletes can freely and easily create different styles in one collection. Designers also focused on the most important aspect for players – the functionality of clothing. A special application is to help the competitors. After scanning the QR code, the Olympian will be transferred to a page with access to sets adapted to weather conditions. It is also worth noting that one -third of the collection consists of materials obtained from recyckling.

The world level presented by 4F was also appreciated by foreign Olympic committees. This year, players of eight Olympic and three Paralympic committees will perform in 4F costumes in Beijing. In addition to Poles at the Beijing Games, 4F outfits will also be worn by athletes from Slovakia, Lithuania, Greece, Croatia, Latvia, Serbia or Portugal and Polish, Slovak and Croatian Paralympians. Applause 4f!
