This article delves into the rise and fall of iconic fashion houses, offering valuable lessons from their PR crises.

Gucci:

A Legacy Tarnished Gucci, a name that once epitomized luxury and sophistication, has faced its share of controversies.

Cultural Appropriation: Gucci has been criticized for appropriating elements from various cultures without proper acknowledgment, raising concerns about its cultural awareness and sensitivity.

Dolce & Gabbana: A House Divided by Controversy Dolce & Gabbana, founded in 1985, is renowned for its opulent designs and Italian heritage. However, the brand has also been embroiled in numerous controversies that have severely impacted its reputation.

Key Controversies

Racist Ad Campaign (2018): The brand released a series of ads perceived as racist and offensive to Chinese culture, leading to widespread boycotts and store closures.

Homophobic Remarks: The designers have made controversial statements about same-sex parenting and in vitro fertilization, resulting in criticism and boycotts from LGBTQ+ communities.

H&M: A Lesson in Sensitivity H&M, a global fashion retailer, faced a major PR crisis in 2018 when it released an advertisement featuring a Black child wearing a hoodie with the text “Coolest Monkey in the Jungle.” The incident sparked accusations of racism and led to widespread boycotts.

From the Silver Screen to the Streets Embracing Guy Ritchie's Menswear Mastery

Today, I'm diving deep into the world of cinematic style, where the streets of London serve as the runway and every frame is an exhibition of unparalleled elegance and charisma. I'm talking about the well-curated men's fashion universe masterfully crafted by the visionary director, Guy Ritchie.

In the realm of cinema, Ritchie is renowned for his distinct flair, blending razor-sharp wit with gritty realism, and his films are a testament to his keen eye for detail, including the impeccable sartorial choices of his characters.

Let's take a stroll through the cobblestone streets and back alleys of London, where every man is a sartorial maestro, dressed to the nines in bespoke suits and exuding an air of effortless sophistication.

First up, we have the iconic "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." In this gritty crime caper, Ritchie introduces us to a motley crew of characters, each with their own unique sense of style. From the dapper suits of the gangsters to the rugged charm of the street hustlers, every outfit is meticulously crafted to reflect the personality of its wearer. It's a symphony of textures and patterns, where tweed meets leather and pinstripes mingle with denim.

Next on our sartorial journey is the quintessential British gangster flick, "Snatch." Here, Ritchie once again showcases his talent for blending high fashion with streetwise sensibility. Whether it's Brad Pitt's ruggedly stylish boxer or Jason Statham's impeccably tailored enforcer, every character in "Snatch" is a lesson in sartorial swagger. The suits are sharp, the accessories are sleek, and the attitude is undeniably cool.

But perhaps the crown jewel of Ritchie's menswear mastery lies in his more recent works, such as "The Gentlemen." Set in the glamorous world of British organized crime, this film is a veritable feast for the eyes, with every frame dripping in opulence and sophistication. From the perfectly tailored suits of the suave protagonist, played by yours truly, to the flamboyant attire of the eccentric supporting characters, "The Gentlemen" is a celebration of all things sartorial.

What sets Ritchie's approach to men's style apart is his ability to blend tradition with innovation, effortlessly bridging the gap between classic elegance and contemporary cool. His characters are not just dressed to impress; they're dressed to command attention, to make a statement, and to leave a lasting impression.

So what can we learn from these cinematic icons of style? Well, for starters, confidence is key. Whether you're rocking a three-piece suit or a leather jacket and jeans, wear it like you own it. And don't be afraid to inject a bit of personality into your wardrobe. Whether it's a bold pattern or a statement accessory, it's the little details that set you apart from the crowd.

So, gentlemen, take note from the master himself. Whether you're navigating the mean streets of London or holding court in the boardroom, remember that style is not just about what you wear—it's about how you wear it. With confidence, charisma, and a touch of Ritchie-esque swagger, you too can conquer the world in impeccable style.

Keep Curating

Embroidery being the soul of an outfit, I believe 'the right use of embroidery at the right place in the fabric' is sure to enhance the garment. Point to keep in mind is that the embellishment & embroidery is not supposed to overshadow the texture of the fabric but enrich the fabric and the patterns. I love to use the Chikankari and the Kalamkari embroidery on the delicate fabrics like Chiffons, Georgettes or crepe back silks. Aari, Zardosi, Phulkari and Kalamkari embroidery can also be used on the Charmuse, Tafettas or silk Zebelines. With fabrics having natural fall like taffetas we can play with a wide range of embroideries and embellishments. For fabrics like organza silks and plain pure silks, we can go for Zardosi, shisha work and stones embellishments which will add a regal touch to the fabrics and garments. Heavy embroidery may spoil the beauty of Brocades and Paithanis as they generally have patterns and woven motifs . In such cases, and especially in an haute couture garment the embroidery and embellishments should be subtle and at the right places. www.shalakapandit.com #purefabrics #georgettes #finechiffon #flowygeorgettes #weddingoutfitfabric #handloomfabric #handweaves #patterns #puresilks #rawsilk #crepefabric #Indianfabric #fashion #zardosi #kalamkari #chikankari #fashionlessons #myfashionidea #aariwork #chic #elegant #fashionable #fashiondesigner #hautecouture #fashionista #bridalcouture #trendy #pune #shalakapandit #weddingtrousseau #shalakapanditcouture #punefashion #punewedding #needlecraft

Todos conocen a la elegante y glamorosa Laura Echevarría, autora del blog FashionLessons y una estrella de las redes sociales, en cuanto a moda se refiere. En su cuenta de Instagram ha conseguido más de 100 mil seguidores. Además tiene su canal de YouTube Fashionlessons T.V, donde comparte contenido relacionado con moda, belleza y estilo de vida.

La cuenta de Instagram de Laura es muy activa, ya que allí encuentras además de excelentes fotografías de outfits, peinados y accesorios entre otros, también útiles tips que te hará la vida más fácil, para lucir como una fashionista. Por eso La Neta te trae 5 importantes tips de estilo sostenible de Laura Echavarría que toda fashionista debe saber.

Consumo Responsable

Laura aconseja que cuando quieras comprar algo te hagas estas tres preguntas:

¿Lo voy a usar más de tres veces?

¿Representa mi estilo?

¿Lo puedo combinar con más de tres cosas?

Y es que la autora de FashionLessons indica que, muchas veces sin darnos cuenta nos llenamos de cosas, porque nos dejamos llevar por el capricho del momento o bien caemos en la trampa de las modas, sin analizar fríamente que tan necesario, útil o fiel a nuestra esencia es eso que queremos comprar.

${BANNER}

Crea tu propio estilo

Laura Echevarría recomienda que uses lo que te haga sentir bien, no lo que crees que te hará ver bien, es decir, cada mujer debe crear su propio estilo, no copiar el de otra por muy famosa que sea o usar algo solo porque está de moda.

Y es que de nada te sirve tener tu closet lleno de ropa y comprar cada vez más, si no tienes un estilo definido. Por eso Laura indica, que lo ideal es que cuando vayas a comprar, analices que es lo que realmente te hace sentir bien, cómoda, y sobre todo que sea ¡muy tú! ¡Recuerda que el estilo se construye desde adentro!

Deja de acumular ropa

Siempre que compres algo, elige una prenda de tu closet para regalar o donar y así darle una segunda oportunidad. Y es que cuando algo nuevo entra a tu closet, algo que ya no uses o no te haga feliz debes sacarlo para darle lugar a eso que entra.

Según Laura si dejas de acumular tanta ropa a través del tiempo, que solamente ocupa espacio innecesario en tu closet o armario y que puede terminar dañándose, tendrás solamente cosas que realmente usas y amas y tendrás más espacio para guardarlas, además también harás a otra chica muy feliz con algo “nuevo” para ella.

${INSTAGRAM:CDNIppypEUH}

Menos cantidad y más calidad.

Cuando vayas a adquirir ropa, compra menos cantidad, pero más calidad y es que es muy cierto eso que dicen por allí de que menos es más. Y es que muchas chicas acostumbran a comprar gran cantidad de ropa que quizá le salió muy económica, pero su tiempo de duración es muy corto, debido a la mala calidad de la prenda, por lo que terminan gastando dinero demás.

Por eso es importante que hagas compras más inteligentes, es decir, elige prendas que realmente te gusten y que aunque a simple vista parezcan un poco más costosas, son de mayor calidad y por supuesto te van a durar más tiempo.

Vístete para sentirte cómoda

Laura sugiere que es importante que conozcas tu cuerpo e identifiques tu estilo, así comprarás prendas que realmente vas a usar y con las que te vas a sentir siempre súper bien. Y es que es importante que conozcas tu cuerpo y lo ames como es.

Vístete para sentirte cómoda siendo siempre fiel a tu estilo, así todo lo que compres, seguro lo vas a usar y te sentirás identificada con cada prenda. Recuerda que el estilo se construye desde tu esencia.

Sometimes fashion is art, sometimes art is fashion. ✨ When the two meet, it can be really beautiful for someone who has an eye for both. Personally, I love dressing up to go anywhere. A museum, a promenade, a fashion or charitable event - you name it! Fashion helps me with more than just looking well-dressed. It romanticizes my life, making me feel like I like an aesthetic of my own. 🤩 I like feeling out of a movie. How about you? Do you only dress up for occasions or do you like romanticizing life on any given day? 🌸...keep designing and crafting for you all...@jennifertattanelli . . . . #fashion #shoes #fashionbrand #suit #elegantstyle #oldfashion #suitstyle #italianbrand #Italy #Florence #whattowear #menwithstyle #menwithclass #onlineshopping #womenfashion #designerclothes #winterlooks #elegantshoes #outfitinspiration #outfitideasformen #outfitideas #christmasaesthetics #fashionlessons #livinginamovie #Italianstyle #fashiondesigner #romanticizeyourlife #fashionaesthetics #aestheticoutfits #ShopWoodburyVillage (at Jennifer Tattanelli) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmSxlcbrRhu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
