   To Shop or Not to Shop? 
      That is the Question!

And no, I don't mean to question whether or not you should hit the mall (or better yet, local boutique). What I am questioning, of course, is photoshop!

In my first article of the year (link to first article), I delved into the subject of body image, and how a whole size range of bodies should be appreciated and displayed in ads. 

Now, my question leads another direction... Whether you're sticking with the stick-thin models, or exploring more into average, athletic, curvy or plus models, what are your thoughts on Photoshop?

Most of the photographer I've worked with definitely take the time and state their case - that they'd like the image to be as perfect in the camera as possible, so they can minimize the time they spend editing in the post-production (read -photoshop). Now, it is extremely rare to even have a photographer part with images before they've been retouched in some way - be it color/lighting adjustments, cropping, or fixing something on a model.

As a makeup artist, sometimes I am expected to provide unretouched pictures, since as this humorous mock ad shows, it is easy to change things in photoshop to perfect them (such as making a lipstick line straighter, evening out shadow, covering blemishes, etc).

Models are also often asked for polaroids, so that it is clear that is what the model REALLY looks like, so that the client knows exactly what to expect when the model walks through the door. I am so accustomed to seeing my chicken pox scar that is in the middle of my forehead shopped out that sometimes I am astonished when I see candid pictures of myself and it's there!

So where does it stop? As lingerie designers, do you feel any guilt when you ask for a waist to be slimmed? Do you want your potential customers to see the dream experience of what your lingerie would be on a "perfect body," or do you want them to feel like they can identify with your models and feel confident it will look good on them, too?

As much as choosing extra thin models could hurt the self-esteem of females, and expectations of males in our society, what about when we see everyone through a lens of perfection, powered by photoshop? There is definitely a level of deception, too... So what makes it ok? Or what doesn't?

It would seem as though there would be a fine line between the two, and I would love to hear from you on where you stand with your brand! Just don't get TOO photoshop happy - you may end up on this list  though I suspect that some of those are just lighting/posing issues and not photoshop-related!

I look forward to hearing from you and learning about where you draw your photoshop line!

Who Wants To Be A
          Millionaire

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. 
I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?' 
'No,' she answered. 
I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' 
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..' 
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." 
And then the fight started......

The Salon International de la Lingerie 
Presents: A Brief History of French Lingerie
This week I’m in Paris attending the Salon International de la Lingerie as the only lingerie blogger and the only member of the consumer press invited. I can’t wait to share my observations of F/W 2012's upcoming collections with you, but in the meantime, here’s a brief history of French lingerie, reprinted with kind permission of Lingerie Francaise and Eurovet.



The history of French lingerie sheds light on the evolution of how women were perceived in each era. It is a story punctuated by women’s conquests, industrial visions or innovations, beautiful fabrics, minute craftsmanship, talents, creations, models, daring, social metamorphoses, know-how, excellence, seduction, elegance, refinement. All speak of an art of seduction “a` la franc¸aise”… the art of pleasing others, pleasing oneself, evoking complicity, attracting glances and nurturing the flames of a love of women.

Eight centuries of Ancient Rome hid women’s lingerie under long draperies that were too geometric to be sensual. The Middle Ages didn’t succeed in freeing women’s bodies. The Renaissance stimulated the soul more than the body. Magnificent 17th century grooming masked modesty almost too well.

The debauchery which arrived with the Enlightenment, its accompanying gallantry and games of pretext, painted the canvas of a new relationship between men and women. The silks, satins and ruffles of low-cut dresses lightened up the paintings of Jean Honore´ Fragonard. The century’s grandiose spirit didn’t prevent Denis Diderot from writing love letters to Sophie Volland against a background of transparency and lightness.

In the first half of the 19th century, France forgot about women’s bodies, being too occupied by Napoleon’s conquests, overseas trade, its colonies and the return of the monarchy.



1900
At the beginning of the 20th century, sitting on Thonnet chairs, the joke circulated that the recently built Eiffel Tower represented a woman’s leg in a fishnet stocking and its four pillars were garter belt fasteners. The Guimard metro stations emerged from the ground. The “S curve” became fashionable. Paul Poiret arrived at Worth in 1901. Garter belts succeeded garters. Stockings were black.

1910
Silent movies arrived in the French capital, while the Ballets Russes oscillated between scandal and success. Paul Poiret banished the corset, replacing it with an inside waistband for his Empire dresses. Mario Fortuny’s legendary pleats appeared.
More women replaced their corsets by an elastic waistband. Rubberized springs replaced whalebone in corsets. Bandeaus and brassieres flattened the bust. The word “bra” entered the dictionary. In 1913, a bra separating the two breasts was invented. At the same time, a bra made of two triangles crossed in front and back was introduced. The first bras were in linen before being produced, in the 1920’s, in silk, chiffon or batiste.



1920
World War I tolled the bell for a 19th century which couldn’t seem to disappear. The 20’s attempted to forget the war. Everyone danced the Charleston. Jazz inspired improvisation. The surrealists published their first manifesto. Freudian theses invaded the spirits. The period kicked off the decorative arts. In a search for unrestricted movement, women topped off their boyish silhouette with a bob hair cut. The flattening bra, floaty, split slip dresses and silver or flesh-toned silk stockings were a hit with garc¸onnes.

1930
In the 1930’s, an overly-sensual Marlene Dietrich in “the Blue Angel”, clad in a corset, black stockings and garter belt, pushed Hollywood censors to forbid women’s removing their stockings on the big screen. Closed panties and tap pants replaced open, pre-war underpants. The bra-cup size system was perfected.
The long dress and bias cut became omnipresent. A neoclassic silhouette was reinvented. The deceptively seductive bust was back. Nylon was invented. The word “panties” became popular. Lejaby’s first “bra a` la Gaby” was produced in the backroom of the Bellegarde movie theater near Lyon under the watchful eye of Gabrielle Viannay. In 1935, Mademoiselle Simone Pe´re`le received a diploma in corset-making. The same year, the beautiful Josephine Baker delighted the hearts of Tout-Paris in the movie “Princess Tam-Tam”, which later inspired the company founded by the Hiridjee sisters.



1945
Exhausted by World War II, France slowly came back to life. French women obtained the right to vote. Simone de Beauvoir was praised for her book “Le Deuxie`me Sexe”. The “New Look” appeared. Underneath it, the Chantelle girdle softly, lightly tapered the hips. Breasts were pointy, the waist tiny, the skirt a corolla. The petticoat trend took off while the wasp- waist corset was invented. The bikini was launched.
Simone Pe´re`le defined itself by following current esthetics to create satin bras, cut and assembled in their rue Montyon workshop. Charles Fossez, an astrologer and star of Tout-Paris, also known as the “Burmese Fakir” sold Barbara girdles by mail. Andre´ Fuller had already been Lucienne’s pygmalion for a number of years, together they created Lou. Look and comfort were associated with a barely- felt underwire. Lou was already one of France’s leading lingerie companies. Empreinte did their most famous launch : pointy bras with a “revolutionary lifting effect”.

1955
Brigitte Bardot nurtured fantasies while across the Atlantic, Marilyn Monroe let the immodest wind from a New York subway grate bare her legs to a still-Puritanical America. Gabrielle Chanel’s tweed suits confronted Christian Dior’s “New Look”. The baby doll nightie and Lycra appeared. Lejaby, still very avant-garde, negotiated sixty exclusivities for the Lycra fiber in France. Stiletto heels were worn with no-seam stockings.
A, B and C cups anticipated the D and E to follow, perfected by Madame Tardivelle and Madame Haug. During this period, Simone Pe´re`le created dozens of bra models, some that lasted for 20 years. By bringing together comfort and estheticism, the company launched the “Soleil” darted bra and “Sole Moi”, the first Lycra bra. Lou made their first underwear in prints with extremely supple stretch and produced “Pantylou” – invisible under pants.



1970
The 1970’s were synonymous with new conquests for women’s rights. The film Emmanuelle symbolized the wave of erotic movies. A new generation of designers was confirmed. Pants were accepted and panties abandoned. T-shirts hit their stride by being worn alternatively under or over. Underwear revealed the body even more : low-waisted panties, preformed, transparent, even absent bra cups.
Ten years after creating “Soleil”, the pared down model “Petale” with no lace, became Simone Pe´re`le’s second best seller and the company launched “Papillon” among the first lingerie sets in the market. Lou’s famous Filet and V met the needs of women who wanted freedom. Chantelle signed their first molded bra revealing a perfectly held-in-place, natural bust. Lejaby followed the Women’s Lib movement : the company’s “Liberty” line was a true revolution, since it had no underwire and came in six acidic colors. Aubade launched the first backless bra, and followed with creations which let women tease men : the Agrafe Cœur, the Tanga. The House of Dior gave Gerbe the exclusivity to manufacture its pantyhose and stockings.

1980
The 1980’s inaugurated the cult of the body, the arrival of high-tech and the emergence of new idols. With Like a Virgin, Madonna stood up to Michael Jackson who had already redone his face. Superwomen appeared. Paddings, leggings, bodysuits and fitted dresses invaded the windows of many brands’ new ready-to-wear stores. The bra celebrated its 100th anniversary. Lycra was everywhere. Charming lingerie followed in the direction of the camisole, thong, wasp-waist corset and garter belt. Lou’s Rio line incarnated the art of seductive shifting and carefree elegance. Chantelle offered active women “charming hold”. Gerbe multiplied collaborations with big names in “French haute couture”.



1990
Siliconed lips, liposuction and top models were front page news in the 1990’s. Perfumes invaded the fashion houses. International brands exploded. A generation of fashion enfants terribles brought new life to haute couture. Wonderbra won the award in the push-up bra category. Full figures showed up on the runways. Buttock-boosting tights gained ground. Simone Pe´re`le’s microfiber bra, “Amelia” was a success. Molded models which gave the bust a natural look became the must-haves of their collections. Microfiber knits were a success at Chantelle with “Essensia”. “Nuage” by Lejaby also used this very new fabric. With “Divine”, Chantelle confirmed their innovative mastery of bra cups and became the world’s leading high-end French lingerie brand. The Aubade “Lessons of Seduction” saga began, a harbinger of ready-to-seduce lingerie.



2000
In the first decade of the new century, heels went sky-high. The stiletto even established a record. Slip dresses and layers were worn with transparencies and tattoos. The era was about excessiveness. The night world overtook a daytime clarity. Microfibers confirmed their presence. Active, sport lingerie became democratic. The second skin effect emerged in intangible lingerie : seamless, invisible bras with molded cups and almost-transparent bandeaus. Empreinte gave “full-figured” women the depth of G cups while Aubade launched the world’s tiniest thong. Gerbe received the “One Hundred Years or More of a Living Heritage Company” award from the French government for their quality, “Made in France” product.

Hirdaramani Factory Awarded CarbonNeutral Certification
A Sri Lankan firm's eco-friendly garment factory has been awarded CarbonNeutral certification - making it the first apparel plant in Asia to achieve this accolade and helping shore up the country's reputation as a leader in ethical and sustainable manufacturing.
The Hirdaramani Group's 'Mihila' factory was assessed by The CarbonNeutral Company, a global provider of carbon reduction solutions.
The process required a detailed greenhouse gas assessment from the Carbon Consulting Company, a comprehensive program of internal energy efficiency measures, and external carbon offsets to compensate for the remaining emissions.
"Social responsibility has always been an essential philosophy at the Hirdaramani Group and the environment has become a major part of this agenda," said Nikhil Hirdaramani, director of the Hirdaramani Group.
"Working with the Carbon Consulting Company has enabled us to quantify the gains and identify the key issues and implement systems that more directly reduce each factories emissions."
The CarbonNeutral factory adds to Sri Lanka's competitive edge against other regional providers, the company also notes.
'Mihila,' which translates to 'Earth', also holds the accolade of being the world's first custom built green apparel factory. A LEED Gold certified building it features an evaporative cooling system, prismatic skylights, and solar panels to help power the factory and reduce energy consumption.
The Group is also rolling out some of the processes and systems implemented here to its other factories.
"Mihila has set the standard on making sustainable manufacturing work," adds Arjuna Kuruppu, CEO of the Hirdaramani CKT Cluster.
The Group operates 28 manufacturing facilities across Sri Lanka, 
Bangladesh and Vietnam, as well as product development, design, 
printing, embroidery, washing and packaging facilities.
