Sex and the City

The “Sex and the City” quartet of New York career women is back and soon to provide fans with a new dose of fashion fabulousness.

“Sex and the City: The Movie” began shooting in New York on Sept. 17 and, judging from the first few days of production, the costume designer Patricia Field has lost none of her mojo.

at Fashion Archives

The Shippensburg University Fashion Archives and Museum opens the fall semester featuring exceptional examples of beadwork on women’s clothing as selected from its permanent collection.

The exhibit is open Sept. 27 through Dec. 7, with the opening and reception from 2 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27, in Harley Hall.

fashion show funds Stuart

A brunch and fashion show raised $3,071 Sunday for Stuart teacher Rachel Hosmon and her team, the Chestnuts, for this month’s Tampa Bay Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk.

Hosmon, a sixth-grade teacher at Redeemer Lutheran School in Stuart, will mark her third appearance in the charity’s annual fundraiser. The Oct. 19-21 event is a 60-mile trek in three days along parks, neighborhoods and beaches from Clearwater to St. Petersburg.

Fashion Mega-Brands

Chanel, which has become one of the world’s biggest fashion firms since the death of its founder in 1971, on Friday staged a star-studded catwalk show that was one of the most hotly hyped events of Paris fashion week.

Actress Kirsten Dunst chatted with her ‘Marie Antoinette’ co-star Marianne Faithfull in the front row, while a tanned and blonde Victoria Beckham stopped to kiss top fashion editors on the cheeks.

With massive global advertising campaigns, Chanel’s interlocked double-C logo has become as recognizable as McDonald’s Golden Arches.

Journalist Dana Thomas, author of “Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster,” believes luxury brands have lost their cachet since large conglomerates started snapping up family owned businesses during a wave of acquisitions in the 1990s.

“It went mass — the businessmen started hyping the brands and focusing on the logo and stamping it on everything from bikinis to handbags to scarves,” she told The Associated Press.

“And many of these companies, as soon as they were publicly traded, started worrying more about the bottom line than how well the hemline was sewed together,” she added.

Privately held Chanel does not publish sales figures, but industry sources estimate its annual revenues at some $4 billion.

The firm staged its spring-summer ready-to-wear show on a bombastic set inside the Grand Palais, a recently restored 19th century glass-and-steel structure near the Seine river.

Models strutted in star-pattered blue dresses with red-and-white striped jackets — perfect for campaigning on the U.S. presidential election trail next summer.

Denim swimsuits and matching jackets and jeans were faded to different shades of blue and teamed with rows of pearls that gave the casual outfits an offhanded elegance.

Front row guest Claudia Schiffer said she was struck by how impersonal the shows had become since she and her fellow supermodels worked the catwalk in the 1990s.

Associated Press on Friday

Jammie Thomas makes $36,000 a year but says she’s not looking for a handout to pay a $222,000 judgment after a jury decided she illegally shared music online.
