Engineered to the nth degree, the Omega watch brand is a staple on many a well-to-do man's dresser; tucked safely away inside its luxurious velvet box, ensuring that this extremely fine timepiece will be free from dust and scratches when not eloquently strapped to its owner's wrist.



Now let's take a brief but intriguing look at the history behind these luxurious watches long before they signed Hollywood A-list, fifties fashions , stars Nicole Kidman and George Clooney, as well as tennis superstar Maria Sharapova, to become their celebrity, fifties fashions , endorsers.



The fairy, fifties fashions , tale known as the Omega Watch Company actually started way back in the 19th Century -1848 to be exact, when the Omega founder, Louis Brandt, a Swiss watchmaker who resided in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, began creating his "Omega" masterpieces. Of course, back then he constructed each piece using only his bare hands by meticulously assembling each watch piece by piece.



The first watches that Mr. Brandt made were pocket watches, because back then they were the timepiece that was considered to be vogue and were highly sought after and cherished. In the mid 1800's the thought of, fifties fashions , attaching a bracelet to their time piece never even crossed a persons mind. The fashionable and preferred thing to do was to carry their beloved "Omega" watches - which, at the time were called "Bienne", fifties fashions , watches - in their pockets.



Unfortunately, Mr. Louis Brandt passed away in 1879 and he left his modest company to his sons, Louis Paul Brandt and Cesar Brandt who carried on their father's, fifties fashions ,, fifties fashions , tradition of impeccable pocket watch craftsmanship. They decided to rename the company "Bienne" in January 1880.



The, fifties fashions , birth of the Omega watch brand actually took place in 1894, more than a decade after the renaming of the company to Bienne, fifties fashions ,, fifties fashions , . Louis and Cesar Brandt introduced, for the first time, the brand "Omega" to the Swiss public. Over time, the Omega watch has come to be one of Switzerland's biggest and most luxurious exports. The Omega watch name actually came from one of the two Brandt brother's watch movement calibers.



Sadly, the reign of the two Brandt brothers in the Omega watch company was short-lived because both brothers suddenly died in 1903. This resulted in four individuals taking control of the Omega watch company. One of the individuals was Paul Brandt, who not only inherited the Brandt family name but their entrepreneurial instincts as well. At just 23 years old, Paul was actually the oldest of the four who took over the Omega watch company after the death of the Brandt brothers.



After a merger with fellow Swiss luxury watch brand, Tissot in 1930, SSIH (Soci้t้ suisse pour l'industrie horlog่re), fifties fashions , in Geneva, Switzerland was created as the new parent company of the newly merged watch companies. Fortunately, the merger between Tissot, fifties fashions , and Omega was a big success, which is why in a relatively short time the SSIH group grew to over fifty other companies including Lemania, Lanco and Hamilton. And in, fifties fashions , a relatively short period of time, the SSIH group, fifties fashions , has managed to position themselves as the third largest producer of luxury watches, as well as watch movements in the world.



It, fifties fashions , was during this time when Omega produced a number of its most loved time pieces. Vintage Omega watches that are still highly sought and are famous to this day.



During the Second World War, Omega built a solid reputation for themselves by coming out with military and, fifties fashions , pilot watches for servicemen. They have always been known for their fine craftsmanship and their great attention to detail. Other popular watches from, fifties fashions , that era were the Omega Speedmaster chronograph, the Omega Seamaster waterproof sports watch and the Omega Constellation watches, which are all still incredibly popular.



During an economic downturn in 1980, Omega found itself once again merging with another Swiss watch giant - ASUAG, which manufactures and produces other, fifties fashions , popular, fifties fashions , Swiss watches such as Swatch, Longines and Rado. The new company that emerged from the Omega-ASUAG merger was called the ASUAG-SSIH company. Unfortunately,, fifties fashions , even the combined resources of the newly formed company was unable to fight off the economic slump, fifties fashions , that Omega was facing during that time which resulted in the newly formed company to be taken over by a private group. The ASUAG-SSIH company was renamed and shortened to just SMH which still exists today.

Watching Fashion Tights in Washington, D.C.

Last month I was lucky enough to spend a few days in Washington, D.C. While I was there the cherry trees opened into full bloom and I visited museums, polly fashions , and monuments. I consider people-watching a cultural event, and that's what I spent most of my time doing. As I watched the marvelous diversity of people, I noticed exciting fashion trends, especially in hosiery. What attracted me most were, polly fashions , the tights I saw women wearing.

Cool days in early spring in D.C. caution women against putting away their winter clothes. My eyes followed a woman as she walked down M Street wearing high black boots and a black wool suit with an above-the-knee black skirt. Black and brown striped tights visible in the ten inches between the skirt and boots made the outfit. I pictured her as a traveling professional, with different colors and patterns of stockings adding variety to her basic, polly, polly fashions , fashions , black suit.

In the Air and Space Museum I watched a young mother walking with her children toward the IMAXX theatre, polly fashions , . Her clothing caught my eye. She sported a very short dress with diagonal green and white stripes. White fishnet stockings and white platform sandals, polly fashions , completed her striking outfit.

I didn't realize how fashion-forward fishnet stockings are these days until I saw two more women walking along the Mall wearing them. They both wore short black skirts, polly fashions , and high heels. The black diamonds of their stockings accentuated their long and slender legs.

As I was eating dinner in a Georgetown bistro, I watched a woman as she left the, polly fashions , restaurant. The wild pattern of her multi-color tights stretched from her bright red shoes up to her waist. I know this because her short black skirt was made of a thin see-through fabric. I hope this doesn't sound risqué to you, because it wasn't at all. It was fun, really fun, and she was not inappropriately exposed.

Footless leggings can be very cool,, polly fashions , whether they end at the ankle or higher up. A casually dressed teenager near the Washington Monument wore eight-inch high fur-lined camel-color boots. Her black leggings ended, polly fashions , just below her knees, showing three or four inches of scotch-plaid tights. I wish you could have seen this unique combination of hosiery!

Then there was, polly fashions , the plus-size woman wearing striped stockings with horizontal bands of lace at her thighs, just below skirt length. These bold tights accentuated the beauty of her sturdy legs.

Another hosiery trend is message tights. These tights, worn mostly by teenagers (by my observation), polly fashions , have words, polly fashions , written on them, often in, polly fashions , foreign languages. I stopped a couple of teens and asked them what their tights said. One told me it said "Peace" in Chinese. Another claimed hers said "Love" in Korean. I sure hope they're right about the translations.

You may be wondering where women find such fashionable hosiery. The D.C. women may find them in local boutiques and department stores. But no matter, polly fashions , where you live, you can shop for hosiery, including holdups, tights, thigh highs, and pantyhose, at any of several online hosiery, polly fashions , outlets. Pretty Polly and Aristoc are two of many designers of fashion hosiery you may find in stores or online.

The Real Perfume Creators Are the Great Artisan Noses

Author: Geoff Ficke

by: Geoff Ficke The stunning growth of the high-end luxury perfume business in the last two decades has been centered in the celebrity endorser, designer category. Actresses, athletes, models and fashion designers have introduced dozens of new scents; each seeking to lure consumers based on the aura created by the endorsing, jordan fashions, personality. Whether you admire Michael Jordan’s basketball skills, Narciso Rodriguez’ modernist Spanish designs or Jennifer Lopez’ singing or acting talents, the marketers of these fragrance brands seek to profit from the perceived lifestyle allure of their licensee’s. What very few people realize is that branded, jordan fashions, fragrances are rarely, if, jordan fashions, ever, actually created by the endorser. The perfume industry is a multi-billion dollar international enterprise. The marketers of branded fragrance products, however, rarely, if ever, develop and produce their own scents. This is a specialty business handled by large essential oil houses like IFF, Robertet, and Givaudan. These companies not only formulate scents, but they harvest, jordan fashions, and source the flora, fauna and the exotic natural ingredients that provide the base for their fragrances. Many of these biologically diverse plants and animal by-products are rare, expensive and fragile, requiring a great deal of special handling and knowledge. An example is the whale by-product ambergris. Whales are not harvested to obtain ambergris. This is skimmed from the surface of the ocean,, jordan fashions, above swimming pods of whales, Ambergris is simply whale vomit. It is exceedingly valuable and crucial as a component in many exotic scent bases. The high cost of perfume is attributed to the expense of obtaining, jordan fashions, essential oils from rare and expensive plants. Rare orchids can yield only a few drops of oil per plant harvested and processed. The processing of essential oils is its own industry. Companies like Estee Lauder, Elizabeth Arden and Lancome do not produce any of their own fragrances. They typically meet, jordan fashions, with perfume houses such as Givaudan, provide guidance as to their desired, jordan fashions, scent direction, and then await and evaluate submissions from the integrated houses chosen to bid on the project. Once a favored prototype scent is chosen then the perfume, jordan fashions, house is contracted to perfect the scent and produce the oils. The creation of perfume is part science, part marketing, part branding, and a whole lot of art. The art of designing unique, commercial fragrances is entrusted to the “nose” retained by the perfume house. “Noses” are rare, coddled, gifted and possess a talent, jordan fashions, so unusual that there are only a few recognized “noses” in the world at any given time. I have had the good fortune to work with one of the greatest, most successful “noses” of the second half of the 20th century. Francis Camail is a legend in the world of creative perfumery. The list of his achievements is stunning. Watching and experiencing his work is to view the efforts of, jordan fashions, a “master”, jordan fashions, . Mr. Camail, working from his laboratory in Grasse, France has been the creative genius behind Annick Goutal, Revlon’s Charlie (at, jordan fashions, one time the most popular scent in the world), Giorgio (the most profitable brand of the 1980’s), Estee Lauder’s Aliage, Eternity (Calvin Klein), Ivoire (Pierre, jordan fashions, Balmain) and Bond #9. These, jordan fashions, are only a few of the brands that have germinated from his ability to create scents that consumer’s desire and loyally purchase on a repeat basis. Mr. Camail is unique in that he is an, jordan fashions, independent contractor hired out by large, international perfume houses on a per job contract, jordan fashions, basis. His reputation is so powerful that he has the ability to be exceedingly selective in the clients he chooses to, jordan fashions, work with. To view the process he utilizes to layer, build and nurture, jordan fashions, various top notes, dry notes and a final bouquet is to experience a true artisan master at work. The creative process necessary to produce luxury perfumery is an old-world, artisan craftsman skill that can not be taught. Francis Camail does employ assistants and interns, as do most other “noses”. However, very, jordan fashions, few of them, if any, ever go on to successfully conquer the mystical world of exotic fragrance. His skills are apparently God given. In a world of mass production and industrialization, it is reassuring to know that skills such as those provided by perfumery “noses” are still extant, and essential. The world still has nooks and crannies that appreciate and value craft and artisan skills and abilities.

The History Of Hats During The Early 1900s

After 1900, women's hats, 1910 fashions , underwent a period of design known as "Edwardian," which accompanied the latest fashions of long skirts that fell to the feet of wearers. Just as the dresses flowed to the floor, hats of the time also aimed to swoop and encompass the head. During the early 1900s, it was not, 1910 fashions , uncommon to spot elaborate brims and larger-than-life accents, 1910 fashions , .

Hairstyles of the time would also influence the creation of newer lines of hats that accommodated central parts and side hairstyles that traveled over the ears. Hats with wider brims were the answer, which also balanced out the vision of a fuller hair silhouette. Width and height, 1910 fashions , dominated many hat styles of this time.

Lingerie Hats

Around 1904, lingerie hats made an appearance, which were made of muslin or froths of lace,, 1910 fashions , which worked well when worn on a hot summer day. White, cream, or ivory lingerie dresses were coupled with this type of hat, which was also seen as a symbol of wealth during the Edwardian era. Lingerie dresses gave the impression that a woman came from riches, as it was very costly to have clothes laundered, especially soiled whites. Wearing white or, 1910 fashions , cream-colored clothing meant you had a maid at home or you could afford to pay another to wash clothes.

Merry Widow Hat

About 1907, the empire style of women's fashion started to become prevalent in many clothing selections, displaying a longer, column-type of garment outlines. Dresses tapered to the feet, making the large Merry Widow picture hat a decent accompaniment. This particular hat was dreamed up for those regularly attending the operetta, but continued to influence many hat designs to come. The Merry Widow was always black in color (hence the name), highlighting chiffon and decorated with plenty of feathers. The hat also took the name of a popular opera of the time.

Day Hats

Wider brimmed hats continued to advance in style, as a wide range of decoration now adorned, 1910 fashions , these, 1910 fashions , headpieces. The Edwardian era brought lace d้cor to faux birds to bunches of cherries about the brims. Imposing ribbons often streamed from selections. Blackberries and other pieces of fresh fruit and flowers were, 1910 fashions , common accents as well.

Turbans

The "maharaja" turban design of women's hats became quite popular during the early, 1910 fashions , 1900s, which was used to completely conceal, 1910 fashions , the hair. In 1910, evening turbans were a hit, allowing women to express a more "exotic" side of fashion. Vibrant colors were, 1910 fashions , commonplace in the creation of this type of headwear, which often drew from the style, 1910 fashions , and allure of Oriental culture.

Small Toque Hats

Around 1911, hats started to shrink, 1910 fashions , in size and the toque hat aimed to replace, 1910 fashions , large, wide brimmed hats (which was still a popular choice for dressy attire). Spiky plumes and glamorous ostrich feathers adorned these hats, which gave the selections a rather regal allure. At this time, Mephisto feathers were quite popular for decorating the smaller toques of this time.

Over the years, these original Hawaiian shirts created a general frenzy which was supported by the Hawaiian officials, as they their island's economy became more powerful. At the beginning of year 1947, the Honolulu Board of Supervisors adopted an act that encouraged all the city clerks to be dressed in Hawaiian shirts from, 1940's fashions , the 1st of June to the 31st of October, every year.

The Premium Denim Market

Author: Mikahala

Premium denim has become the staple of every fashionable woman's wardrobe. Its trendy, casual comfort, boosted by Hollywood cachet, has put California on the fashion map as the jeans capital of the world.

It, spring fashions ,, spring fashions , used to be we only looked to New York and Europe for fashion, but people are moving their eyes westward. The trend erupted in L.A., where, spring fashions , it's all about surfboard culture, TV shows like `Laguna Beach' and `The O.C, spring fashions , .,' and who's wearing what on the red carpet., spring fashions , California is hot. And so is California denim.

Unlike mass-marketed jeans, premium denim makers boast that their handmade detailing combined with the latest design technology will miraculously transform your body. That precise engineering means jeans that lift a sagging posterior, erase hulking hips or lengthen less-than-perfect legs., spring fashions , Other jeans promise to slenderize thick thighs, reduce a round rear, flatten the tummy or cinch the waist for an ultra-curvy silhouette.

Premium jeans are made of higher-quality fabrics (often imported from Italy and Japan) and have special embellishments, such as colorful stitching, gold- and silver-plated hardware, unique finishes and intricately designed, strategically placed back pockets. The result? Casual designer pieces with hefty price tags between $100 and $500.

Nearly all the hottest brands in premium denim -- True, spring fashions , Religion,, spring fashions , 7 for All Mankind, Chip & Pepper, Paper Denim & Cloth, Antik, Rock & Republic and Citizens of Humanity -- are manufactured in Southern California and have picked up a loyal Hollywood following.

Celebrities are our royalty, and we always want what they're wearing,'' says Mik Serfontaine, a Los Angeles-based denim designer whose hand-stitched jeans, spring fashions , include a "Made in California'' label and have been, spring fashions , spotted, spring fashions , on pop stars, including Britney Spears and Beyonc้. ``To be based out of Los Angeles, spring fashions , is almost necessary. New York is linked to the fashion of Old World Europe. It's more sophisticated and formal, like Milan and Paris. But denim? Denim is West Coast. We have our own flavor.''

It seems natural that the niche premium denim market would take off here. California is considered the birthplace of bluejeans. Levi Strauss, whose namesake company, spring fashions , has its headquarters in San Francisco, created the first pair in 1873 as a sturdy work pant for men during the gold rush. The Bay Area is also home to the Gap, a retailer that had its start selling jeans in 1969.

Since then, the once-utilitarian uniform has evolved into a high-fashion, modern luxury item and, according to Women's Wear Daily, a $6.76, spring fashions , billion business that continues to grow. Charles Lesser, CFO of True Religion Brand Jeans, estimates that premium denim occupies 5 percent of that overall market. That's about $340 million in sales revenue that primarily goes to California denim labels.

While Levi's prides itself, spring fashions , on its much-sought-after, spring fashions , vintage collector, spring fashions , styles, the company is updating its image with the opening of its Beverly Hills store this month and the launch of its own premium Capital, spring fashions , E line.

High-end designers are also cashing in on the trend. This Fall, Zac Posen teamed with 7 for All Mankind to create an, spring fashions , exclusive ``super, spring fashions , premium'' jean collection for Neiman Marcus. Embellished with embroidery, tassels and antique pewter rivets, the three styles were priced between $450 and $995.

Prada, Valentino, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Imitation of Christ and Dolce & Gabbana were among the other designers who included jeans in their spring collections.

Even with the glut of premium denim makers on the market, smaller, up-and-coming labels such as DSquared, Ernest Sewn, Union, AG and Blue Cult are surfacing in Bay Area boutiques and on celebrity, spring fashions , fashion magazine ``it'' lists.

Still, there's more than Hollywood's endorsement helping designer denim fly off the shelves.

Premium denim is attractive to customers because it is now made to accentuate, spring fashions , and fit the body: new silhouettes, better finishes, better washes, back-pocket details and a great, flattering fit.

Brands like 7 for All Mankind import Italian and Japanese fabrics, then process them in up to 15 treatments for a supremely soft feel. Joe's Jeans prides itself on eight cuts that flatter a range of body types. Paper Denim & Cloth uses a signature two-piece contour waistband in their women's low-rise jeans to avoid the common problem of back gap and backside cleavage.

"It's really all about the fit,'' says Kristina Brandt, 23, of San Jose, who owns five pairs of high-end jeans and was at Metropark eyeing a pair, spring fashions , of Rock & Republics with snakeskin R's stitched onto the back pockets. ``I'm tall, so it's hard to find regular jeans that are long enough. I've tried to find cheaper used pairs on eBay, because I'd rather try not to spend all that money, but I have. And I will.''
