AT THE RE-SEE OF HUGO FALL 2013

Add caption
On the day after the HUGO Fashion Show it was time for the re-see of the collection at the HUGO BOSS showroom. Let me quickly introduce the term “re-see” for those who are not working in the fashion business: A “re-see” is an appointment with the designer that usually takes places at a brand’s showroom or another lovely venue shortly after a new collection has been presented on the runway. Journalists and media representatives are invited to the re-see in order to get a closer look at the collection and to find out about the designer’s inspiration. This time, we also invited a few fashion bloggers to the re-see of the HUGO Fall 2013 Collection. So on Friday, January 18, I joined Helena Glazer (Brooklyn Blonde), Kimberly Pesch (Eat Sleep Wear), Cindy van der Heyden ( Come over to the dark side we have candy), Pelayo Diaz (Kate loves me), Kiki Albrecht (The Random Noise), Lara Maria Gräfen (Belle on Earth) and Anna Ponsa (Miss Nobody) in our Berlin showroom.
HUGO Womenswear designer Eyan Allen revealed his favorite pieces from the collection – amongst them the little red dress which had already caught my eye on the runway – and pointed out the subtle sexiness of the HUGO Fall 2013 Womenswear Looks. HUGO Menswear designerBart de Backer explained that “the HUGO Fall 2013 Menswear Collection is about clean cuts, structures, couture and leather details and focuses on great outerwear with surprising details.”
To put the cherry on top, all bloggers got the chance to try on their favorite pieces from the collection. Pelayo went for a burgundy jumper while the girls fell in love with all the jackets and coats. I am already looking forward to the next re-see!

Fashion Show Review

Palms shuttle bus
The Palms shuttle is provided as a courtesy service to hotel guests and Las Vegas visitors. Delays and/or cancellations may result due to weather, traffic, mechanical issues, no passengers, etc.

Departure times from Palms: 10 am. and 5 p.m. 
The 2-million-square-foot Fashion Show mall is like several fashion runway platforms grouped together -- and you're the star shopper.
Believe us when we say it's just that massive. If the number of shops overwhelm you and you're not sure where to start, not to worry: One of the mall's unique features is the Great Hall's fashion shows, a multimillion-dollar event area featuring an 80-foot retractable runway. Every weekend, catch models strutting down the catwalk donning clothes you can actually buy that day. Think of this as a live fashion look book. 
Splurge on high-end retailers like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co. or snag a pair of killer heels at Chinese Laundry, Bakers or Steve Madden. Score a hot dress at bebe or Guess Marciano and get ready to turn some heads. While you're here, get your makeup done and eyebrows threaded (an ancient brow-shaping practice) at Sumita Beauty.
On a budget or want to bring back tons of threads with you without feeling guilty? Then check out the mall's two-story Forever 21, where you can easily spend your whole day. The 126,000-square-foot location carries Forever 21 brands including Heritage 1981 and 21 Men, the store's men's line. And with so many purses, earrings and shoes to choose from, we doubt you'll leave empty handed. Located near Bally and Kenneth Cole, shoppers can access the store from the top or bottom level. If you need to take a break, there are couches outside the store, along with a Yo Fresco frozen yogurt and a Starbucks coffee shop.
Fashion Show mall carries tons of unique boutique brands as well, like the hippie-chic Free People. You can also find the city's own Zara store here. Popular for its European-inspired fashions, the two-floor store (women's floor on first level, men's on second) features both a high-end and affordable selection. If your style's got a little twang, Pinto Ranch features a variety of Western apparel and boots for men and women.
The giant, three-level Nordstrom department store features rows and rows of shoes, while Neiman Marcus carries a variety of your favorite high-end brands.
From classic to contemporary designs, Z Gallerie carries tons of fun pieces to spruce up your home.
In need of fresh air? The mall's spacious outdoor area provides just that. You can get a cool, refreshing treat at the Gelato Café and find plenty of spots to rest your feet. Just a few steps over, choose from restaurants like Ra Sushi and El Segundo Sol, both offering generous happy hour specials. Right above these restaurants is Maggiano's, an Italian eatery featuring spectacular views of the Strip.
Also in this area is the mall's high-tech canopy, The Cloud. With its hard-to-miss aluminum skin, The Cloud is Fashion Show's most recognizable landmark and provides ample shading over the mall's plaza. Its media screens also shows digital ads. The lights alone will catch your attention.
There are bridges and escalators outdoors that connect the Fashion Show mall, Wynn Las Vegas, Venetian and Treasure Island. This makes it convenient for shoppers to travel without having to wait at the crosswalks. If you're parking in the garage, be aware that spaces are tight and sometimes hard to get. However, each garage section is labeled by color, so it's easy to find your car when you're ready to go.

Why students think fashion shows are a right royal pain in the neck

Gorgeous people raising money for good causes: what's not to love about charity fashion shows at uni?

The fashion season is upon us, and I'm not talking about Paris, Milan or London. I mean the student-run, charity fashion shows that will take place later this term.
The hype around them here at my university, St Andrews, has polarisedstudents: some view them as a self-indulgent and elitist waste of time, while others see them as a way for students to express their creativity while raising money for a good cause.
This rift stems from the professionalism with which the shows are run. At most universities, they have all the markings of a corporate organisation: there are directors, creative directors, websites, photo shoots, launch parties and students that are especially selected to model through an audition process.
And it's this polished commercialism that gets up student noses. As one second-year student at St Andrews argues: "Student fashion shows make the already confident more confident, and the insecure more insecure. They are divisive, and create a barrier within the student body."
A recent graduate from Durham agrees: "There's an exclusive buzz around them." Models are chosen after tough auditions and quickly gain a celebrity status, committee positions are allocated through a competitive interview process. Those who don't "make the cut" feel excluded.
This manages to annoy people who aren't even interested in the shows at all, but can't abide what they perceive as a pompous approach to a student organisation.
But does their sleek glossiness overshadow the purpose of the shows?
Charlotte Adlard, director of Dont Walk 2013, one of the charity fashion shows at St Andrews, defends the selectivity of the process: "The high standard is simply necessary in order to highlight the professionalism of the whole project and, in doing so, maximise our charitable donation." Adlard says models "are chosen as much for their personality, drive and charitable interest as for their looks".

And student fashion shows do open doors. In the increasingly competitive world of internships and graduate employment, they offer invaluable hands-on experience for young people who might not be able to get it elsewhere. They also give up-and-coming designers a platform to display their work to new audiences.
Students get the opportunity to be part of a team, learning project management and financial planning. Ulrik Hallen Oen, director of events for Don't Walk, says: "It is a great experience that teaches you about leadership, co-operation and organisation – as well as responsibility."
But most of all, fashion shows make considerable amounts of money for good causes. This year, Dont Walk will donate around £30,000 to the Non Violence Project, a non-profit organisation that aims to educate young people about conflict resolution. If they can do this, perhaps we should cut them some slack when it comes to their methods?
And let's not forget the matchmaking power of these events. Where else would a young prince meet his bride-to-be?
