So WYB is back in Beijing and people welcomed him as they do. However, it was noticed that Yanyan was holding a box. What is it? WYB did some tourist-y stuff for sure so what’s this important thing YY is carrying? You can say that it’s his personal souvenir or whatever but YY doesn’t seem to be the type to lug around his own stuff — he almost always carries Yibo’s belongings.

It’s from Daum. From their website, the history is described as: Daum, the legendary glassmaker master, has kept alive for more than a century a love relationship with the greatest artists of its time, giving their work of art a second life of crystal and colours.

They make really beautiful glass pieces like these:

It’s said that the Crystal Factory is located in Nancy, Lorraine, France, about one mile from Paris. Half an hour's high-speed rail journey. So they could have easily gone there. Who knows.

As a clown, I wanna believe that he bought something custom made for ZZ. The artist in ZZ would totally love this. He is WYB, magnets and shirts as souvenirs won’t cut it. LOL. But it could also be a gift to WYB from someone at Chanel (?) like a classy “souvenir” to remember his trip.

Model Lorraine Pascale Married The Man Of Her Dreams Wearing Vivienne Westwood

The former Chanel model and British Vogue contributing editor exchanged vows with Dennis O’Brien in an intimate ceremony at Chelsea Town Hall, followed by a languid lunch in the sunshine at Beaverbrook. From a last-minute shoe conundrum, to being reunited with her actress daughter Ella Balinska for the first time in 18 months on her big day, she describes how her chic micro-wedding came together.

Seamstress is an occupation for women that in the past was considered to be one of the lower classes. In early history, seamstresses were slaves or servants who plied their needlework skills to make clothing and other items for their masters. Over time, however, the status of seamstresses has changed dramatically. Today, some of the most famous and well-respected fashion designers in the world are seamstresses. This list pays tribute to those talented women who have made a name for themselves in the fashion industry. Marie Antoinette de Lorraine-Habsbourg and Her Children by Élisabeth-Louise Vigée-Le Brun (1787) Versailles, Musée national du Château et des TrianonsThe Queen is shown in an up-to-date outfit created by Bertin. Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun , Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Rose Bertin 1747-1813 French costume designer or milliner Rose Bertin is often referred to as the mother of French fashion. In 1783, she opened Paris' first haute couture house, which would make her a pioneer of the industry. She went on to become the dressmaker for Queen Marie Antoinette and even had her own boutique where she directed French fashion trends. Rose quickly rose in fame for her beautiful clothes, innovative designs and her outrageous style that featured dazzling fabrics, luxurious materials, and elaborate details. Her keen eye for fashion led to an incredibly successful career that revolutionized high fashion as we know it today. Although she passed away in 1813, her legacy still remains strong; every year fashion designers pay tribute to Rose's pioneering spirit by incorporating traditional techniques in some of their most iconic pieces.

Snapshots Of The Past, CC BY-SA 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons Betsy Ross 1752 –1836 (First U.S Flag) Betsy Ross, an American icon best known for her contribution in creating the first U.S Flag, was a talented seamstress and Revolutionary War patriot. According to family tradition, General George Washington and two members of a congressional committee visited Mrs. Ross in 1776 with a sketch for the flag design. Mrs. Ross made a suggestion that transformed the six-pointed stars on the sketch to five-pointed stars, making it easier and speedier to sew them together. It is believed to be here, in this humble little house belonging to Betsy Ross, that the very first United Sates Flag was sewn from cloth nearly 240 years ago.

Los Angeles Times, CC BY 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, fashion designer and founder of the Chanel brand. (France 1883 – 1971) Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel revolutionized the fashion world with her iconic designs. Born in France in 1883, she was determined to break through the class barriers of her era, and as a result shifted female fashion trends towards a more comfortable and sporty style. By combining elements of haute couture and casual menswear with lavish, luxurious fabrics, she created timeless pieces that remain fashionable to this day. More than just an influential fashion designer, Chanel's designs marked a major shift in women's perception of themselves and their clothing choices, allowing them for the first time to dress in shapes designed to suit their own bodies, rather than those dictated by societal standards. Coco Chanel truly left an indelible mark on the world of fashion design. Elsa Schiaparelli, tailleur in lana bouclé, bottoni in bronzo dorato di François Hugo, 1938/39. Modello di Alberto Giacometti.

Born in Italy in 1890, she moved to Paris and opened the House of Schiaparelli in 1927. Throughout the 1930s-1950s, she managed her designs and changed the fashion world with her wild style and dynamic looks.

Schiaparelli's designs truly celebrated Surrealism, featuring eccentric items such as knitwear, hats and gloves. Her daring outlook continues to have an impact on the fashion industry today, making her a true icon for women all around the world. Edith Head .

She was a costume designer who worked on over 1,000 films from the 1930s to the 1970s and achieved an astonishing 10 Academy Awards throughout her lifetime. Her professional effectiveness at designing costumes for all types of films, from comedies to period films, made her a highly sought after designer. In addition to providing memorable costumes for a variety of films such as Alfred Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' and Roman Polanski's 'Chinatown', Edith Head also brought to life a variety of famous characters over time, contributing significantly to their success in popular culture. It is no wonder she has gone down in history as one of the greatest costume designers of all time. Liz Claiborne, fashion Designer Creator(s) Source: Gotfryd, Bernard, photographer, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Anne Elisabeth Jane « Liz » Claiborne ( 1929 - 2007) Belgian / American Anne Elisabeth Jane "Liz" Claiborne was born in Brussels, Belgium on March 31, 1929, and grew up to be a revolutionary figure in the fashion industry. She moved from Europe to the United States, where she attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and eventually started her clothing line that catered to career women. Claiborne became one of the most successful female entrepreneurs of her time, eventually becoming the first female CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Her business savvy and corporate leadership skills made it possible for modern women to have better access to stylish yet professional clothing. She also helped make fashion more diverse for working women everywhere since Liz Claibornes collections offered various designs that didnt follow overtly restrictive trends. Despite passing away on June 26th 2007, Anne's legacy continues through her famous namesake brand and all those who were inspired by her success as an entrepreneur.

A fashion designer that was advanced for her time and a fashion icon for the present day. She is still alive at the ripe age of 93. Mary Quant created the mini-skirt which revolutionised 1960s London and beyond. Her rise to fame began when she opened a vinyl-lined boutique modelled after Parisian haute couture salons. Before this, hemlines were rather conservative, with skirts rarely going above knee-length or mid-calf length. It's no wonder why Mary Quant has had such an influence not only on fashion as we know it but on young women everywhere who admire her enthusiasm and desire to stay ahead of the trends within her field.

As a child, she grew up admiring the intricate patterns found in traditional Chinese architecture and art which shaped her love of intricate details and traditional Chinese elements in her distinctive designs.

Over the years, she'd become renowned for dressing some of the most influential women within China, but it wasn’t until 2015 when pop star Rihanna stunned audiences worldwide with an exquisite yellow gown that had been designed by Guo Pei at the Met Gala that she truly gained international recognition. From her use of colors, to texture choice and even to embroidering flowers on high quality fabrics; each detail goes beyond luxury in creating timeless works of wearable art. Ruth E.

Carter has been an influential figure in the film industry for many years, but recently she made history by becoming the first African-American to win an Academy Award for her work on Black Panther. Her costume designs have been instrumental in creating a realistic and recognizable aesthetic for films and shows that accurately represent the characters, making her contributions even more impressive. She captures the spirit and culture of each project with utmost precision, providing a strong sense of continuity and cohesiveness throughout her projects. It is no surprise that her creativity and talent were recognized by the Academy to win this prestigious award. Alice Otegui Designer Original Clothing. Alice Otegui - Calmo (Uruguay, 2017) zero-waste pattern making by local artisans. Alice Otegui's Uruguayan label Calmo is setting an inspiring example for embracing both sustainable practices and local artisans simultaneously. Through their commitment to zero-waste pattern making and textile traceability, they are working to minimize their impact on the environment while promoting fair trade with their suppliers. What's more, Calmo is focused not solely on environmental sustainability, but also social responsibility - a conscious approach to create garments that are beneficial for all sides of the supply chain. With initiatives like these, it is no surprise that Alice Otegui has become an influential pioneer in the fashion industry. Calmo Original Clothing Labels These influential women have all had a lasting impact on the fashion industry throughout history. From creating the first U.S flag to developing zero-waste pattern making; their remarkable achievements are something to be celebrated. These iconic women were trendsetters pushing innovation forevermore with their pure creativity and out of the box thinking. It is also worth noting that these women faced significant institutional challenges which would very often lack recognition for what they achieved. The courage of these pioneers sets an example for generations ahead that anything is possible putting forward action instead of just simply ideas or talk. As we celebrate such hard work and passion for the fashion industry there should be little doubt that only greater things will come from them in years to come.
