Macy’s – Power of Pink During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This October, Macy’s is once again inviting customers to “think pink” and show their support in the fight against breast cancer through an inspirational and fashionable campaign that heightens awareness and turns the fundraising focus on a disease that affects not only women, but those who love them. Throughout the month of October, the power of pink will prevail with exclusive merchandise, including fashion, cosmetics and items for the home, in addition to Ralph Lauren Pink Pony apparel. And, for the first time, those united in the fight will be able to show their support through a new, limited edition Pink Pony Bracelet that benefits the Pink Pony Fund of The Ralph Lauren Foundation (available in store only from Sept. 28 to Oct. 10). With a plentitude of pink, Macy’s celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness Month with style and strength.

“Macy’s long-standing commitment to the breast cancer awareness movement is incredibly inspiring” states Holly Thomas, Macy’s group vice president of cause marketing. “Our ongoing dedication to charitable causes makes an even greater impact with the support of our employees and our terrific partners, such as Ralph Lauren, who join forces toward a common goal. And, of course, we are so grateful to our customers who continue to show their generosity by shopping at our stores and in our dedicated online “Pink Shop” in a quest to raise awareness and champion the fight against breast cancer.”

Pink Pony

For the fourth consecutive year, Macy’s has joined forces with the Pink Pony Fund, Ralph Lauren Corporation’s worldwide initiative in the fight against cancer. This year, the Pink Pony Campaign is launching for the first time, a limited-edition Pink Pony Bracelet which will be exclusively sold at most Macy’s full-line stores across the country. The bracelet is made of pink adjustable cord, decorated with a pink enameled iconic polo player charm and engraved with Ralph Lauren script on the back. The bracelet will be available in-store for $5 ($4 of which benefits the Pink Pony Fund of The Ralph Lauren Foundation) from September 28 through October 10 and customers who purchase it will also receive a special discount up to 25 percent on a wide assortment of merchandise at most full-line Macy’s stores nationwide (with applied exclusions). Also new to the campaign this year is the Pink Pony Limited Edition fragrance “Ralph Lauren Tender Romance” of which 15% of the purchase price* will be donated to the Pink Pony Fund of The Ralph Lauren Foundation. And finally, a special collection of t-shirts and active wear will transform Polo Ralph Lauren shops into Pink Pony destinations in 16 Macy’s locations across the country and online at macys.com/ralphlauren. Twenty-five percent of the purchase price of all other Pink Pony products sold in the United States will benefit the Pink Pony Fund of The Ralph Lauren Foundation for causes devoted to cancer awareness, education and research. Since its launch in 2013, this exclusive partnership has raised more than $5.5 million for the cause.

Pink Shop at macys.com

Macy’s online Pink Shop at macys.com/pink will also offer a specially curated collection of incredible fashion and home brands including Coach, Carolee, Charter Club, Guess, Ideology, KitchenAid, Material Girl Active, Movado, Sunglass Hut, Thalia Sodi and Under Armour with each donating a portion of the sale of special pink merchandise to various organizations such as the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). And this year, Macy’s Ideology brand is pleased to have made a $100,000 donation to BCRF and to have created a special collection of active wear that promotes Breast Cancer Awareness. From hoodies and tank tops, to graphic-t’s, sweatshirts and leggings, these special items spark inspiration to “Fight Like a Girl” and look good while doing it.

Shoppers will even have the opportunity to freshen up their fall beauty routines with finds from the industry’s most sought after cosmetic and fragrance brands such as Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Conair, Estee Lauder and Origins.

BCRF Beauty Box

Because big things really do come in small packages, Macy’s is proud to join The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) through the sale of the BCRF Beauty Sampler, available in select Macy’s locations. Macy’s will donate 20% to BCRF from now until Dec. 31, 2016 for each sampler box purchased for $20. Each BCRF Beauty Sampler contains eight travel-size samples from The Estée Lauder Companies’ favorite beauty brands.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 200,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer (Stages I-IV) are diagnosed among women in the United States in a year, resulting in approximately 40,000 deaths. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. Through various partnerships and joint efforts, Macy’s maintains a steadfast dedication to finding a cure. This year’s program is targeted to reaching customers in every aspect of their lives.

 

*Ralph Lauren Fragrances will donate to the Pink Pony Fund of The Ralph Lauren Foundation 100% of the profits equal to approximately 15% of the purchase price for each “Ralph Lauren Tender Romance” Pink Pony Limited Edition fragrance purchased in the 50 United States, Puerto Rico or DC through authorized distributors from October 1, 2016, to October 31, 2016, with a minimum guaranteed donation of $100,000 from the sale of these products. No portion of the purchase price is tax-deductible.

LA PERLA LAUNCHED READY TO WEAR COLLECTION – MILAN – SS17

La Perla SS17 Presentation that took place Friday, September 23, 2016, at Palazzo Clerici, in Milano MI, Italy.

WHAT:
LA PERLA SPRING SUMMER 2017
LA PERLA LAUNCHES IT’S READY TO WEAR COLLECTION DEVELOPED THROUGH A UNIQUE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FEMALE BODY

WHEN:
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2016

WHERE:
PALAZZO CLERICI – VIA CLERICI – 5 – MILANO

LA PERLA SPRING/SUMMER 2017 COLLECTIONS
Julia Haart, La Perla’s new creative director, interpreted the concept of liberation in every aspect of her first season. The designer approached the collections with a deep connection to the brand’s founder, Ada Masotti, a corsetière who opened her own lingerie laboratory in Bologna in 1954. Ada Masotti designed lingerie with attention to how women wanted to feel: sensual, beautiful, and comfortable with themselves. As a female Creative Director, Julia Haart shares these values. Among her fixed principles is the desire to liberate women from sacrificing for beauty: curves are intrinsic to feminine identity, and clothes must begin with an understanding of women’s bodies. In the women’s ready­-to­-wear collection, the designer created clothes with lingerie-­expertise inspired by the brand’s close­-cut know how. Clothes embrace the body like perfectly fitted lingerie, with fabrics that feel as good on the inside as they look outside. The pieces can be worn by all women on all occasions.

READY­-TO­-WEAR
Julia Haart envisioned a journey of liberation through flowering blossoms, geographic maps and colorful, shimmering silk forms as the visual thread that runs through the ready­-to-­wear collection. The beautiful designs rendered in soft bi­-stretch fabric move as the wearer moves, revealing an expert understanding of the female form, the real DNA code of La Perla.

Prints in the collection are eye­catching: the topography of a fjord is transformed into micro and macro motifs, blooming roses reveal entrancing maps nestled amongst their petals in a classic stripe, and dazzling colors illuminate cascades of floral bouquets. The prints adorn close­fitted jackets, and high­waisted tailored shorts paired with bralettes and vests that take cues from bustiers, but enhance curves without any traditional wiring. Three show­stopping long dresses anchor the collection’s red carpet appeal: a shirt collar is the perfect counterpoint to a high slit, the fjord print is dotted with hand sewn sequins, a calligraphy­esque “Autografo” motif embroidered over stretch silk with black inserts emphasizes the décolleté, and silk georgette embellished with soutache inserts plays with sheer detailing at the sides and neckline. These looks are dazzling and refined, but move with stretch to adapt to the female form on the body.

Special attention has been dedicated to Essentials that truly meet the core needs of women’s wardrobes. A bi­stretch, cool wool Corset Jacket is the undisputed protagonist of the collection, embodying the feeling and support of lingerie with internal cups and finely tailored darts, sized according to bust for the perfect fit inside and out. It fastens with a row of hooks and can be worn without additional undergarments: they are built in. It can also be worn as suiting in its dress version, or paired with new soft wool leggings.

Iterations of the standout jacket are also shown with high­waisted slim cut pants and loose, flowing silk pants. The very same tailoring strategy is at the core of shirts shaped to the body and T­shirts designed and cut for the feminine form, made from silk, cotton and stretch.

LINGERIE AND NIGHTWEAR
Embroidered tulle, Leavers lace and macramé are La Perla heritage fabrics and form the starting point for a collection that has been updated with modern silhouettes like the boy-shorts. In particular, Julia Haart focused on variations of the bra, such as the non­-wired push­up bra or the triangle bra with a plunging V neck, which offer unprecedented possibilities for wear and an entirely new feeling of freedom. Alluring macramé reveals its talent for flirting with sheerness in the babydoll, alternating with nude tulle and silk georgette inserts. This fabric becomes the star of not only bras, bodysuits and briefs, but also of a silk dress into which lingerie style codes have been flawlessly translated.

The “Autografo” embroidery is reminiscent of calligraphy that has been sketched over the body, created by an impalpable nude stretch mesh, embroidered with seductive motifs. Here, the bodysuit takes center stage, creating the illusion of being a set thanks to the invisible tulle inserts.

There is no short supply of versatile pieces that elegantly toe the boundary between lingerie and clothing: graphic tops, bodysuits in soft, stretch­silk yarn wrap around the body like a caress.

COLORS: black, silky white, nude, sky blue and red.

BEACHWEAR AND RESORTWEAR
Cascades of pearls outline the curves of the body, transforming one­pieces and bikinis into garments begging to be worn both on and off the beach. The color block trend has been freshly interpreted in geometrically­-shaped pieces inspired by the allure of the unforgettable bikini worn by Ursula Andress in her turn as a Bond girl in the 1960s. Vivacious energy exudes from these pieces, adorned with stylized starfish, brushed stripes, city maps and colorful plastic panels.

A sensual back is emphasized with cut­out accents, while plunging necklines and boy-shorts reveal a new side to swimwear’s personality. Bikinis and one­pieces are offered alongside a versatile RESORTWEAR collection conceived to be the 24/7 vacation wardrobe. Fluid bi­stretch, crêpe and georgette silks, soft viscose and fresh cotton emphasize the effortless femininity of each and every piece.

An elegant cape with contrasting trim and a two­tone dress with paneling contributes to the casual glamour of the collection’s rompers and shorts, all of which can be worn at the beach, on a yacht or at a pool party. Special attention has been paid to warm­weather jumpsuits, which flow over the body, making them the perfect alternative to an evening dress. Cotton stretch seersucker cover­ups with multi­colored mosaic print that echoes the color palette of the bathing suits are designed with white bands that emphasize shape, and curve around the body. The same mosaic design found in the print transforms into a seductive spider web in the collection’s block­color knitwear.

COLORS: cobalt, lagoon blue, red, fuchsia, purple, nude, white and black.

ACCESSORIES
D’Orsey sandals are coated in sparkling sequins and also feature shimmering reflective accents on the shiny upper. Leather platform sandals with criss­cross straps boast sleek, ultra­-feminine lines. Pumps and booties feature a surprising accent: lacquer heels with streaks of color. Perforated leather mules adorned with floral motifs – inspired by the precious decoration of the signature Petit Macramé collection – represent the extension of lingerie style codes to the realm of accessories. Flat leather sandals with a chain accent and a hand enameled suspender­ hook complete the collection.

Signature details and a sleek design mark the distinctive look of the new python leather Hook Bag with hand enameled metal suspender hooks. The slight curvature of the front stitching meets the iconic hooks, reproducing the sensuality of suspenders. The rubber­effect matte black and glossy electric-blue are each versatile. The glazed horn charms bearing the letters “LP” feature as an exclusive detail on all the bags.

This precious detail also characterizes the Ada Bag, an homage to Ada Masotti. Its ageless modernity was inspired by the vision of the brand’s founder. This on-the-go model comes in different versions of python or in black calfskin. The leather clutches are veritable mini universes that will hold everything you could need for a special evening. The handcrafted bead­and­sequin detailing creates reflections and harkens to the floral feel of the ready ­to­ wear collection.

TYRA BANKS, TRACEY AFRICA, GEENA ROCERO, DIVERSE WOMEN OF COLOR ON COVER OF HARPER’S BAZAAR

Art Director and Executive producer, Christopher Sollinger, cast various industry icons, veterans, and new faces for the historic cover series of the next edition of “Harper’s Bazaar India”. Nine versions of the magazine will be available, each featuring a different woman of color on the cover including Tyra Banks as well as Tracey Africa and Geena Rocero, who become the first transgender women to appear on the cover of the iconic “Harper’s Bazaar.” Sollinger produced the shoot over the course of a week in New York.

cover_1-1cover_2cover_3cover_4cover_5cover_6cover_7cover_8

 

‘The Nine Wonders of the World’ cover series is a twist on the unofficial title sometimes given to those new buildings, structures, projects or even designs that are deemed to be comparable. The series interprets and showcases this “new” as diversity. The new being that diversity is acceptable and celebrated today.

“Diversity has always been the DNA of Harper’s Bazaar. The Indian edition is delighted to follow in such illustrious steps”, said Harper’s Bazaar India Editor Nonita Kalra.

 “Showcasing white woman after white woman on covers does not work anymore, we need to show the women of the world that is of now,” said Sollinger. “The world is changing and with this story we want to be apart of that global revolution.”

“This cover means the world to me and for me to represent my community, it is such a humbling experience for me, I can’t thank Christopher and Harper’s Bazaar for allowing me to be on the cover,” said Tracey Norman.

“It is an honor to be on this historic cover series with the women that I’ve looked up to. Growing up in the Philippines I used to dream of being on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar”, said Rocero.

The Models:

·      Tyra Banks is a veteran and icon to the runway and various leading advertising campaigns.

·      Tracey Africa is the first trans model to have multiple beauty campaigns in the 1970s. Tracey was also shot by Irving Penn for Vogue Italia.

·      Geena Rocero is a Filipino American model, producer, founder of Gender Proud and gave a viral Ted Talk with 3 million views. She was honored this year with a GLAAD Media Award for the Logo digital series ‘Beautiful As I Want To Be,’ which she executive produced and appeared in.

·      Hannelore Knuts is a veteran Belgian model and known to be the only model in history to have three consecutive Vogue Italia covers.

·      Cora Emmanuel is a Caribbean beauty and has been the face of Chanel.

·      Emanuela de Paula was born to a white Brazilian mother and an Afro Brazilian father, She has been the face of retailer NEXT and L’Oreal.

·      Pyper & Daisy America showcase Millennials in our new modern age, unorthodox beauties who have gained notoriety through social media and shear personality. It is the first time the sisters of Lucky Blue were shot together for a cover.

·      Hind Sahli is one of the few Muslim models to break out of Morocco. Hind was voted by Vogue Italia as “the top middle eastern model of our generation.”

·      Soo Joo Park is the leading Korean Model and an inspiration to all designers. Soo Joo has been the face of countless magazine covers and beauty brands.

About the Cover:

We commissioned American Artist, Isaac Aden, to create one of a kind head pieces for each model. He is represented by the world renowned Ethan Cohen Gallery. We shot the women around art and paintings in the gallery, fusing international artistry with global beauty. KC Jones, the stylist, has contributed to top Italian publications. KC  brought in designers Chanel & Roberto Cavalli who were extremely supportive of this project from start to finish. KC Jones mixed influences and designers from Africa, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe tying them together with a cohesive Americana trend. Stockton Johnson is one of the most accomplished photographers in Asia, contributing to top international publications and advertising campaigns.
