About Levis jeans
The story of how Levis jeans came to be is quite an interesting one. It was during the California gold rush when a German immigrant Levi Strauss arrived in San Francisco planning to extend his brother’s business, that this took shape.  He was carrying rough canvas to use for tents and was told that he should have brought some strong pants with him instead by a prospector. It was then that Strauss fashioned some overalls and used a twilled cotton cloth from France called serge de Nimes which later came to be known as denims. This is how Levis jeans came to be.

About Levis jeans

Today the same brand has grown and become famous all over the world. Levis jeans are widely in demand and the blue jeans became hugely popular among people of all ages. This brand has been considered very comfortable and stylish denims to own and there have been bids for the oldest pair of jeans running into thousands of dollars. The company later began to experiment with their design and brought in pocket stitches and the red tab was also created to identify the jeans from a distance. The two horse design was brought out first in the year 1886 and since then has become wildly popular.

With over 130 years in the business, this company has been making waves with its designs, materials and styling. They are available for men, women and children in a wide range of colors, prices and fits. These jeans are also made keeping in mind changing trends and the new curve jeans have been a mark of how enterprising this company has always been. The Levis jeans have always been made keeping in mind comfort and practical use and everyone has a favorite pair that they love to wear all the time.

Herrera lures Russians

Posted by Richard | Designer of the week,Fashion,Gossip,Luxury | Monday 21 December 2009 11:57 pm

American fashion designer Carolina Herrera followed in the footsteps of her sartorial colleague Giorgio Armani this week by vying for a piece of Russia’s recovering luxury good market — the world’s fourth largest. Herrera, who dressed Jackie Kennedy Onassis in her later years, came to open her first boutique at the plush TSUM shopping center in Moscow’s heart and host a show of her linen-woven Spring 2010 collection. The 70-year-old designer is betting — just like Armani, who descended on the Russian capital in October — that Russian fashion followers, once known for their exuberant spending, will help expand her business.

Other designers remain uncertain about the country’s recovery from a recession that wiped out a tenth of its economy in gross domestic product terms in the first half of the year. Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney boarded the windows of their boutiques less than a year and a half after opening, while others were forced to deal with drastically dropping sales. But Herrera is optimistic. “I think the crisis stopped many things, but fashion is the last one to go, because women are always buying,” the designer, dressed in a sleek black velvet top and black pants, told Reuters after her show. Russian consumers have been famous for most of the decade for their lavish spending and penchant for high-end brands, but the crisis has curbed their disposable income, taking a toll on the country’s luxury market.

Incipient sings of economic recovery began last summer, however, fueled by relatively high oil prices — Russia’s chief export — and the improving global outlook. More festive and glittering decorations than a year ago have lit up Moscow’s shops in recent weeks, fuelling hopes that this season will bring the Russian consumer back to buying. Herrera showed some 200 elegantly dressed fans a collection of chiefly amber, rose and caramel dresses inspired by forms seen in Japanese baskets. The designer seemed enchanted with what Moscow had to offer. “I wish I could stay a week” she said.

          When the President and First Lady to Washington DC’s Blue Duck tavern a few weekends ago they were not able to book for months. Restaurant reservation books are airtight? Audio New York-ish.Sounds in the heat or at least not one afraid to show it. In terms of the socialite DC show last week to ensure the new W Hotel in the capital of the country.Tastemakers-in-Chief (and wife, some ambassadors, the Middle East) has “made it OK to wear Manolos.” Chain hotel itself is tapping the power of the new aides Obama youngish children and powerbrokers that $ 100 million update of the original hotel. Washington.The direct conversion of the area real estate minorities from White House. It is the hybrid nature of the Beaux Arts Building and the W’s are pretty advanced. Think that LED bars in the original crystal chandeliers.Headliner opening party is John Legend, efficiency for the crowd that included President’s personal aide Reggie Love, and his personal secretary Katie Johnson.Is it really that silly to imagine one of them passing party intel directly to the Commander-in-Chief?
