  • Looking at the Creative Style of Retail Brands from the Perspective of Global Fashion Store Design

    Fashion retail is always the forefront of innovation and creativity. In today's highly commercialized market, a brand does not only need products, but also needs to tell stories, understand marketing, and connect with consumers on a spiritual level, and ultimately gain consumers' perception and recognition of the brand and cultural background.   Customers make purchases largely because they like the stories surrounding the brand and the lifestyle associated with it.   To this end, this article selects the latest flagship store space designs of several fashion and luxury brands in recent years, hoping to bring some inspiration and enlightenment to friends and understand the latest ideas in fashion scenes.   These stores are roughly divided into the following categories according to their regional attributes: World fashion trend stores - such as Celine's New Bond Street flagship store in London and Ferrari's first lifestyle boutique in the United States; Famous tourist destination stores - Burberry's Jeju Island Iceberg pop-up store in South Korea and Dior's "3D printing" concept store in Dubai.   It is observed that the focus of these retail brand stores is mainly on the following points: Artistic and design sense; Environmental protection and sustainable fashion; Cross-border with other formats to open up channels for brand revenue growth; Immersive services and experiences that convey the brand's tone;   CASE 1 Celine London New Bond Street flagship store Gallery-style space Address | 40 NEW BOND STREET, LONDON W1S 2RX Recently, French luxury brand Celine opened a unique flagship store on London's New Bond Street: CELINE LONDON NEW BOND STREET.   The store covers an area of 466 square meters and is located in a two-story Edwardian building. The interior design is by the brand's creative director Hedi Slimane. The unique modern materials and color combinations contrast sharply with the classical architecture, reflecting the luxury concept pursued by Hedi Slimane. In addition to launching a full range of men's and women's ready-to-wear, accessories, shoes, handbags, small leather goods, glasses and perfume series, the flagship store's greatest attraction is the display of works by eight artists including Nika Neelova, Leilah Babirye and Davina Semo, including paintings, sculptures and furniture. All works are carefully selected by Slimane, who hopes that each work can inspire a dialogue with the surrounding environment. These artworks create a unique tension between public and private spaces, exhibitions and exhibitors, materials and meanings. It is understood that some of the works on display include: Nika Neelova's work - Lemniscate XI and Lemniscate XIV; Davina Semo's work - a polished cast bronze bell; New York sculptor Leilah Babirye's work: Najunga from the Kuchu Ngaali (Crested Crane) Clan: Slimane tried to interact with the Edwardian building, which is listed as a Grade II protected cultural relic, in two unique ways.   The ground floor is dedicated to the brand’s womenswear, creating an atmosphere of French elegance and classic luxury, with a separate octagonal room: designed in the manner of an Italian grotto, with delicate shells, dedicated to the Celine Haute Parfumerie range.   The basement, where the menswear is displayed, offers a minimalist art gallery space with lower ceilings, starker walls and concrete floors.   Another lounge area offers a moment of comfort and contemplation, with a polished cast-bronze clock by Davina Semo hanging from the ceiling above modernist chairs; fur-upholstered chairs are combined with De-Stijl-style wooden options and more brutalist stainless steel shapes. Invited consumers can browse freely. Slimane attaches great importance to the issue of materials, so he was particularly careful in the selection of works. The works on display by Babirye and Neelova both use environmentally friendly materials.   Babirye admits that many of the materials in his works are "garbage" picked up from the street. Some of these works are works of Celine Art Project. Through this project, Celine has customized works from artists in various countries around the world and displayed them in the store. So far, the total number of customized works has reached nearly 80. CASE 2 Ralph Lauren's new flagship store in Milan A place that feels like home but is also elegant Address | Via Spiga, Milan's Golden Quadrilateral   On November 17, a new flagship store for American fashion brand Ralph Lauren opened in Milan. The flagship store, called "World Ralph Lauren", covers an area of nearly 16,000 square feet and has five floors. The flagship store brings together Ralph Lauren men's, women's and RRL brands, and is equipped with a Ralph Lauren bar and restaurant.   The store gives people a residential feeling like home, which also reflects the designer's consistent concept of "home is where the heart is". "My first store on Madison Avenue in New York is also very livable. We called it Mansion, which changed people's perception of retail. I regard clothes, taste and home environment as one." Lauren told fashion media WWD in an exclusive interview on Zoom. "You walk into my home and I welcome you to a place that feels like home but is also elegant."   The interior of the store is made of traditional limestone and terracotta materials. Reclaimed wood floors are paired with oak and walnut paneling and decorated with bronze, distressed brass and wrought iron.   The new store showcases the RRL series on the first floor, men's polo and accessories are sold on the first floor, and purple label and tailor-made are on the second floor;   Women's clothing and accessories are distributed on the top two floors, featuring Polo, accessories and Collection series.   To complete the products, a series of home gifts and decorative accessories are also available throughout the store.   The Ralph Lauren Bar and Restaurant is located on the first floor, providing consumers with Ralph Lauren's iconic hamburgers, mini lobster rolls, wine and customized cocktails, etc. The bar is open all day.   CASE 3 Ferrari’s first lifestyle boutique in the United States Interpreting the brand’s full-category luxury strategy with retail space Address | 360 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California   In 2021, Ferrari, one of Italy’s top sports car brands, officially opened its first lifestyle and fashion boutique in the United States in Los Angeles. To mark this milestone, the brand held a four-day event and celebration in Southern California from November 13 to November 16, 2021. The store is located on the famous shopping street, Rodeo Drive, close to Hollywood.   The store covers an area of approximately 205 square meters and displays the first series of products designed by the brand’s creative director Rocco Iannone. The fashion series has a total of 52 looks, 80% of which are neutral designs, based on fashion, but with an overall casual and sporty tone.   "This is not a sideline, people need to understand that," said John Elkann, interim C.E.O. of Ferrari and C.E.O. of parent company Exor, when talking about the clothing line. "We are showing the world a lifestyle and expanding the younger generation and female fan base." In the decoration style of the store, the brand has retained the unique charm and temperament of "Ferrari sports car" as much as possible, and suspended the V8 engine of Ferrari Portofino in the store as an art installation, adding a sense of fashion and artistic atmosphere. Previously, Ferrari has opened fashion boutique flagship stores in Maranello and Milan, where the company is headquartered.   CASE 4 Burberry "Mirror" pop-up store Expresses the spirit of weakening the brand and highlighting the artistic intention Address | Hallasan, Jeju Island, South Korea In mid-November 2021, British luxury brand Burberry built a "mirror palace" on Jeju Island, South Korea. This is a limited-time boutique experience store called "Imagined Landscapes", and it is also Burberry's first immersive brand experience hall. Its appearance is mainly composed of reflective mirror materials, which combines two different experiences: natural landscape and technological exploration.   The sun shines on the pure and smooth mirror, and the lush mountain scenery around it is set off on the building. The towering and shining volume forms an excellent contrast with the natural scenery. The undulating appearance not only echoes the outline of the layered mountain landscape, but also pays tribute to the pioneering spirit of the brand founder Thomas Burberry. In addition to the display of brand products and collections, Burberry cooperated with French artist Maotik, Korean artist Cao Yuxi and new media designer Liu Jiayu to jointly design an internal venue that seems to be immersed in infinite nature. Interactive projection screens and film and television works exploring the theme of nature are successively exhibited here.   In addition, the pop-up store is just one step away from the Burberry cafe-Thomas's Café, named after the brand founder.   The interior design combines Burberry's most classic brown, beige and deer patterns into wall decoration and furniture design, with collage ceilings, warm wood veneers, and mirror-wrapped square seats. Customers can taste Jeju Island's specialty "citrus"-shaped desserts and latte art with the Burberry brand logo here.   Different from the pop-up stores that are usually opened in large shopping malls or downtown business districts, Burberry has broken away from the "traffic first" principle of pop-up stores this time, and is full of adventurous spirit in the selection of locations and design concepts. This design that weakens the brand and highlights the artistic intention blurs the boundaries between nature and technology, reality and imagination.   It is understood that Burberry built this unique experience store to continue the brand's pursuit of freedom and environmental protection.   CASE 5 Dior Dubai "3D Printing" Pop-up Store Applying advanced digital construction technology to reduce ecological impact Address | Jumeirah Beach, Dubai, UAE   In November of 2021, Dior, a French luxury brand under the LVMH Group, cooperated with Italian 3D printing company WASP to open a sustainable pop-up concept store printed with natural materials on Jumeirah Beach, Dubai, combining the local topography of Dubai with the local customs and characteristics of the Middle East.   The concept store consists of two cylindrical modules, using WASP's sustainable building 3D printing technology, using clay, sand and natural fibers for 3D printing, and the exterior wall simulates Dior's classic handbag design. WASP redeployed the Crane-WASP collaborative 3D printing system to create structures in luxurious aesthetics.   The building has a total area of 80 square meters, using 2 Crane WASP printers and 55 tons of printing materials. The construction process requires almost no human intervention, and the modular structure takes 120 hours to print. Using advanced digital construction techniques, WASP was able to manufacture the 3D printed circular building with minimal waste, reducing ecological impact.   The color scheme of the entire space of the store adopts white and neutral tones. The store displays the Dioriviera series designed by Dior Artistic Director Maria Grazia Chiuri and products using the "Toile De Jouy" fabric. The rest of the space is composed of white beach chairs and neutral furniture.   With the improvement of the global epidemic and the development of international tourism, the creation of the new Dior store is a timely demonstration of how the concept of sustainable development is promoted in the new normal world.   High-quality space is better than advertising, and consumers can deeply perceive the brand story in their own experience. From the new fashion stores of the above-mentioned well-known brands: Celine's New Bond Street flagship store in London provides an art experience space like a gallery. Designers' ideas, artists' works and displayed goods collide in the old cultural relics, creating a classical and luxurious atmosphere. The store perfectly integrates artistry, design, sustainable fashion and brand tone; Ralph Lauren's new flagship store in Milan creates an elegant place that brings a home-like service experience, continuing the brand's consistent concept of "home is where the heart is"; The opening of Ferrari's lifestyle boutique in Los Angeles once again declares its intention to enter all categories and expand consumer circles such as young people and female fans; Burberry's "mirror" pop-up store pays great attention to design, integrating natural landscapes with technological exploration, highlighting the brand's pursuit of freedom; Dior's "3D printing" pop-up store in Dubai is a classic example of applying advanced architectural technology to environmental protection and sustainable fashion.

  • How to Tell if the Prada Sunglasses You Bought Are Not Fake?

    Here are some tips to tell if Prada sunglasses are genuine or fake! 1. Prada Sunglasses Packaging Once you get the product, first check if the packaging is complete. The packaging of a new Prada should include a cardboard box, a glasses case, sunglasses, a cleaning cloth, a Prada information guide, a manufacturer's information guide, and an authenticity card. Please note that due to the different series of Prada sunglasses, the packaging will also be different. 2. Prada Sunglasses Logo The logo on the temple of the genuine Prada sunglasses will look clear and eye-catching, as if it is integrated with the temple, while the counterfeit ones are rough and suspended on the temple. 3. Prada Sunglasses Model The model information is engraved on the body of the Prada sunglasses. The model format is: SPS or SPR + 2 numbers + 1 or 2 letters. Please note that the model on the temple of the genuine Prada sunglasses is the same as the model on the white label on the box. All Prada sunglasses have only two starting formats: SPR or SPS. The model format of all PRADA sunglasses is: SPS or SPR + 2 numbers + 1 or 2 letters, such as SPS 04F or SPR 52DS. 4. Prada Sunglasses Material Authentic Prada sunglasses are made of injection molding, while fake Prada sunglasses are generally made of plate. Although the plate may look more textured, injection-molded sunglasses are light, cooler and more eye-friendly to wear, and have good UV protection, which are advantages that plate does not have. Hope you enjoy your shopping time! Please check here if you don't know how to choose sunglasses that suit you.

  • Would You like to Try These Incredible Masks in Fashion Shows?

    Today, let's talk about a lighter topic: the "sensational" masks in the show. In the perception of ordinary people, fashion shows are the presentation of gorgeous clothes, supermodels and all beauty, but today's fashion shows, under the banner of innovation, present more and more "shocking" designs, such as the "masks" in the show that are not surprising. Today, I will give you a list of "mask" shows that are more eye-catching than clothes. 1. Givenchy's bark-like mask Givenchy presented this creepy mask at the 2016 New York Spring/Summer Fashion Week, under the name of creating a sense of love between black and white. I guess people with visual intensive phobia will get dizzy after watching it for a few more seconds. To be honest, the design of the clothes is online, and this extra mask makes us ordinary people really unable to understand the designer's brain circuit. In the same show, this light gauze semi-transparent dress is so beautiful, but the model's veil mask, which looks like Catwoman, makes the overall look a lot weirder. 2. Cleopatra + Sun God + primitive tribal mask? The costumes in this show have a strong Latin American style. The cake-style layered high-waist skirt is full of design sense. The tight-fitting top with snakeskin texture on the upper body is very figure-flattering. The light gold facial makeup, plus the blue and red color painting, makes people unsure of the designer's routine. 3. Windmill mask The mask is full of colorful windmills? Is the designer trying to express refreshing invincibility? Or is the refreshing feeling like taking off? 4. Stocking mask This is a scene from the show in 2015. The slender model wears flesh-colored stockings on her head, and the designer draws another face on the stockings...with a fiery red afro. A rebellious and provocative sense of design is coming. 5. Metal mask What do you think of when you see the leaf-shaped metal mask worn by the models on the runway? The tree demon in the mythological drama Liao Zhai? This oriental-style costume is very beautiful, but with this mask, it is nothing but redundant. I am just curious about what design concept the designer wants to express? Green? Environmental protection? 6. Aesthetic mask The face of Lolita is matched with a bun, with an innocent and pure temperament. With this aesthetic mask, it is a bit beautiful. (I also want to have the same one) The hazy veil mask, with embroidery prints and cute rabbit ears, how cute is it? I always feel that the designer's work expresses the designer's deepest thoughts. Designers who can design these beautiful works always have the breadth and brightness of the stars and the sea in their hearts, right? Okay! Today's content about the show mask is shared here. Friends who like it, don't forget to follow it.

  • Want More Stylish "Clogs Shoes"? Crocs Echo Marbled Clog Is a Good Choice

    With the arrival of summer, Crocs shoes are still the favorite of many students. Classic clogs are comfortable and easy enough and can be worn in almost any situation (it is best to change a pair when driving), because it is too popular - and even becomes the key object of counterfeiting - it will be considered too common by everyone, which has become a contradiction. Crocs attempts have also continued. For example, the Pollex Clog, on which Salehe Bembury collaborated with Crocs, is very successful. It not only has all the characteristics of a classic clog but also embodies a sense of design and uniqueness in its own way (Salehe Bembury has been appointed as the creative director of the Crocs Pollex Pod series). Also exploring this direction is the Echo Clog series. This is also a "redesign" based on the classic shoe shape. The Crocs Echo Marbled Clog, under the series received by the Ideal Life Laboratory editorial department, is one of them. It has "black/flame red" and "bone white/color". We have the latter, which can also become an option for personalization. Like their name suggests, the shoes are covered with a marble print texture. With a carved appearance, the overall shape is more stylish. It will be more contoured than the classic clog (although it will look heavier than the classic clog, but in fact there is almost no difference after wearing it), and there are still holes in the upper. It is no problem to match "Jibbitz." It has a lot of special parts, such as this marble print texture that is different on each pair of shoes, which makes each pair of clogs shoes actually "unique". The holes on the front and side of the upper are also more personalized, and they allow the shoe to maintain breathability and drainage. Like the classic clog, the strap at the heel can be placed behind the heel to fix it, or it can be placed in the front, so that the shoe is more like a pair of slippers and more free to put on and take off. The shoes use a combination of Croslite soles and LiteRide insoles, both of which are fully supportive, which actually gives a double-supported foot feel. The feeling of the upper feet is dense, not purely "stepping on shit". Although there are drains (or vents?) from the outsole, because the LiteRide insole is lined and the insole does not leave holes, the feet in the shoes will not communicate with the ground through the insole. You can still step on the water without worrying about water coming up from the soles. These drains only increase the breathability and drainage capacity (for example, every time you step on the ground, the hot air on the soles of the feet can be discharged through the holes on both sides) and even have the effect of shock absorption and cushioning. The sole says "Designed in Colorado". Crocs is headquartered in Colorado, USA. The final point is that the Crocs Echo Marbled Clog will have a different possibility of wearing than the classic Clog, especially for young people or students who want to reflect their personality in wearing it. It is functional and street style; it can correspond to different styles of wear, and at the same time, it continues to be lightweight and comfortable, so there is no need to worry about getting it dirty or stepping on it. Even though its audience will definitely be much smaller than the classic Clog, it was originally prepared for students who pursue something different. (It is the same style for men and women, but the size is different; girls can also try it.) In addition, it also has slippers (Echo Marbled Slide), which are also marble-printed textures and are also a combination of Croslite soles and LiteRide insoles, but they are still not as outstanding as the Clog models. This depends on what everyone likes.

  • Decoding America's Largest Outdoor Retailer: REI(Recreational Equipment Incorporated)

    REI is the largest professional outdoor retailer in the United States. In 2022, its revenue will increase by 3% year-on-year to a record US$3.85 billion. It operates 181 stores in 42 states in the United States and has more than 23 million members. The full name of REI is Recreational Equipment Incorporated Cooperative (REI Co-op), which is also literally translated as Leisure Equipment Company. In addition to the scale, what makes people more curious is its unique "cooperative model" (Co-op). In this model, members and shareholders have close rights, not only to participate in profit distribution but also to elect board members. Dennis Madsen, who served as the company's president and CEO in the early 21st century, described this model sharply when accepting the Harvard Business Review: We are a cooperative; we are owned by members, and we only need to pay a membership fee once. Of course, employees are important to corporate culture, but our members are just as important. If your company is owned by third-party investors, they will be very focused on stock price and earnings per share and will do whatever it takes to generate profits and achieve growth. But when members take ownership, their interest is not only related to financial numbers. Of course, profitability is still very important if you want to survive in the long run. "The competition in the outdoor retail industry is very fierce. We must strictly operate this business like traditional organizations and enterprises and control income and expenditure. However, our different focus on profits is that we pay more attention to the medium and long term rather than reaching a certain number in the short term, so I'm not worried about how profitable this quarter is compared to last quarter, but I'm focused on providing consumers with high-quality products and services. Of course, this is very friendly to our customers." This article will start with this unique business model and give you an in-depth understanding of this outdoor retail giant that is still little known in China. 23 founders adhere to the "cooperative model" to this day. $224 million in 2022 rebates for members and co-elect board members. Implement the big store strategy; the store is the social center for members. The profit is meager, and the performance fluctuates after the epidemic. 23 founders adhere to the "cooperative model" to this day. In 1935, Lloyd and Mary Anderson, a couple of outdoor sports enthusiasts in Seattle, USA, needed a high-quality ice axe, which cost 20 dollars in a local ski store and was imitated from Austria, which was a lot of money at the time. Instead, they ordered an ice ax direct from Austria and used Mary's German skills to translate the product guide, all for $3.50, including postage. Friends who are also climbers all know about this, and they actively hope to get involved and make this a career. So in 1938, Lloyd and Mary Anderson and 21 local adventurers in the Seattle area formally established REI, each paying a $1 lifetime membership fee when they joined. A lifetime membership is now $30. As the number of members increased, Lloyd consolidated the mission of the cooperative in a written announcement in 1938, committing to expanding the membership scale and ensuring that member purchases were more affordable, minimizing administrative costs, and hiring members as staff. With affordable membership fees, everyone who loves outdoor sports can join. In 1955, American mountaineer Jim Whittaker, who was also a member, was hired as the first full-time employee of REI. He also served as CEO in the 1960s. It is worth mentioning that Jim Whittaker was the first person to ascend Mount Everest. Leveraging his fame, in 1964 his revenue topped $1 million for the first time. Today, REI has more than 23 million lifetime members and has been steadily increasing at an annual rate of 1 million in the past few years. For REI, their goal is 50 million members. $224 million in 2022 rebates for members and co-elect board members. Compared with members of other retailers or brands, REI is most praised for giving members "10% annual eligible shopping rebates", and the total amount of rebates in 2022 will reach 224 million US dollars, which to some extent achieves a profit distribution similar to that of shareholders. In addition to shopping rebates, members can also enjoy a fixed 33% rental discount, a fixed 20% discount on bicycle and snow shop services, and of course a series of services such as free standard delivery (no minimum purchase amount required), an exclusive second-hand equipment trading business, and so on. However, the best embodiment of the "cooperative model" is that REI's board members are elected by the members, and they oversee the company's operations. The board of directors can have up to 14 members for a three-year term. In March of this year, REI announced the latest personnel adjustment, and Apple Musni was appointed as the new Chief People Officer. As a key player in shaping the company's culture, Apple Musni describes the "co-op" as such: a passionate purpose to awaken a lifelong love of the outdoors in all and a belief that the outdoors is something that should be enjoyed by all. Implement the big store strategy; the store is the social center for members. Since its development, REI has sold products covering outdoor clothing, shoes, equipment, tents, accessories, etc. Related sports include cycling, mountaineering, ice and snow skiing, etc. According to the official website, REI has a total of 1,000 cooperative brand products on the shelves, including 2 REI own brands and 1 REI and West Elm joint brand. Among them, there are more than 30 brands with more than 100 products on the shelves. Cooperative brands include international big brands such as Adidas, Arc'teryx, Columbia, The North Face, etc.; emerging brands such as Hoka One One, On Running, etc.; mountaineering-related brands such as Black Diamond, Sea to Summit, Mountain Hardwear, etc.; brands related to ice and snow sports such as Icebreaker, Obermeyer, Dakine, etc.; and brands related to cycling sports such as Bontrager, Pearl Izumi, Shimano, etc. In terms of offline stores, REI adopts a large-store strategy. The store area is generally 25,000 square feet (about 2,300 square meters), and one-third of the area is used for experiential public spaces. REI store positioning allows members to gather together to "plan and share outdoor adventures or just drink coffee" and is no longer limited to the display and sales of outdoor products but is dominated by "experience, education, consultation, and community". The profit is meager, and the performance fluctuates after the epidemic. It is not difficult to guess that under this "benefit sharing" model, REI's profitability will not be too high. Looking at the two years before the epidemic, in 2018 and 2019, REI's net profit margins were only 1.7% and 0.7%, respectively, and in 2020, when the epidemic broke out, it fell into a loss. However, the outbreak of the epidemic has made more people choose to embrace nature and outdoor life, driving REI's sales revenue to increase by 36% in 2021, and its net profit has also reached a record high of 98 million US dollars. But in 2022, sales growth slowed sharply to 2.9%, and the company also fell into a net loss of up to 165 million US dollars. Amid the ups and downs in performance, company president and CEO Eric Artz said in a recent statement: "We continue to stand by our commitment to rewarding our members, and as a cooperative, we are fortunate to have made this long-term choice. However, we remain focused on returning to a path to sustainable profitability to ensure a healthy long-term future. According to the data of the Outdoor Foundation, among the residents over 6 years old, the number of people participating in outdoor sports will reach 160 million in 2020, and the participation rate will reach 52.9% (a year-on-year increase of 2.2 percentage points); the number of camping participants in 2021 is expected to be 5690 million, with a participation rate of 18.6% (a year-on-year increase of 2.8 percentage points). The development situation of the outdoor sports market is gratifying.

  • What Fendi Baguette Is Worth to Buy in 2024?

    Fendi is an Italian luxury brand and a maternal-centered family business. The five daughters of the Fendi couple and the 11 children of the five sisters are all involved in Fendi. In 1962, Fendi hired Karl Lagerfeld, known as the Caesar in the fashion industry, to design another double-letter logo that everyone in the fashion industry would recognize after Chanel's double C and Gucci's double G. The source of double F is Fun Far. Fendi was formerly a fur store. He also spent 10 million US dollars to hold the famous Great Wall Show in China, creating a classic show in the fashion industry, and designed Karlito based on himself. His existence is inseparable from Fendi's achievements today. Baguette was designed by Ms. Silvia Venturini Fendi, the third generation of the family. The broadcast of "Sex and the City" made the baguette the world's first IT BAG. When the heroine Carrie Bradshaw was robbed of her bag by a thief, she did not forget to emphasize: "It's not a bag, it's a baguette." The word Baguette means "baguette" in French. People are used to calling it "baguette", not because it looks like traditional French bread, but because it is small and slender with long and short shoulder straps. It just fits under the arm, and it reminds people of the elegant and cool French woman walking out of the bakery with French bread under her arm, so someone later joked that the best thing about Baguette handbags is that there are no bread crumbs. Especially the presbyopia baguette bag, which was born in 1997, has been popular for more than 20 years. If you want to buy your first Fendi, then you are right to choose it. The bag is a small and slender type. The shoulder strap is not long and can be tucked under the arm. Coincidentally, it happens to be a popular underarm bag style at the moment. Regarding some of the new styles of baguette bags currently on sale on Fendi’s official website, today I would like to recommend some more interesting and fashionable styles to you.

Of course, the price of this handbag is not unexpected, with the official website selling for $23,000. Silvia Venturini Fendi, the chief designer who created Baguette, once said, Amidst all this chaos, I was asked to design a unique, simple and practical handbag. In a sense, I have to balance technology with simplicity, just like in this day and age. My response was (luckily I'm a maverick) BAGUETTE. It was a betrayal of all that was asked of me. It achieved unexpected success and became the most popular product in the world. Of course, Fendi also has other series of famous and worth buying styles. Follow us and don’t miss timely updates.

  • How Do You Choose Sunglasses That Suit You? Tom Ford Sunglasses Selection Criteria

    Purchasing sunglasses is still a science. In fact, it is not about UV protection; it is all about looking good. It is said that wearing sunglasses (or doing anything) to be handsome is nothing more than meeting the following two criteria: one is that it suits you, and the other is that you are confident and complacent. The first point is nothing to discuss, and the second point is the balance between appearance and comfort of sunglasses. Just like dressing up, no matter how cool the item is, if it doesn't suit you, it's useless. In addition, if you are uncomfortable or in the wrong place, your physiology will affect your physiology, your thoughts will affect your physiology, and your limbs will feel uncomfortable. This is why people tend to look better in simple clothes because they are comfortable, and others are comfortable when they look at you too. Back to the purchase of sunglasses, I not only referred to various articles on the Internet that started with hair shapes but also read interesting articles such as looking at sunglasses and guessing characters, providing readers with the matching of classic characters and sunglasses. Deepen your understanding of the relationship between sunglasses contours and eyebrow shape. To choose a pair of sunglasses that suits you, the direct and practical way to do so is to check out the classic styles of several classic brands and then go directly to the store to try them on. This is actually fast and convenient and has a high success rate. So tomorrow we will take a different approach to getting to know these four brands sunglasses. They are not actually the most well-known, but they definitely have the same fashion style. I believe that even if you don’t fall in love with them after reading them, you will at least learn more about sunglasses. 1. Tom Ford Sunglasses Probably the first two words that come to everyone’s mind when they hear aviator glasses are: pretend to be cool; oh no, it’s Ray-Ban. It can be done with short hair, a long face, or a pointed nose. Pilots are very handsome. But I know Ray-Ban is really good. If you want to wear with other brands, I highly recommend this pilot style of Tom Ford sunglasses. Tom Ford has always been a designer with a strong business acumen. His accessories series, such as glasses, lipsticks, and perfumes, are all very successful, but no matter what, TF’s pilot series is indeed really so handsome! It's a high-quality product for what it is priced for. Needless to say, textures can be square or round and come in a variety of colors. It's really versatile, like the original aviator-style sunglasses, but without being too fancy. 2. Moscot Sunglasses This old New York family brand, with more than 100 years of history, is full of American retro style. It is fond of plate frames and has a very fashionable appearance. The LEMTOSH series, which combines the advantages of vintage, has Moscot's famous diamond-shaped rivet decoration on the temples, keyhole nose bridge design, and the detailed design of five-claw hinges at the joints. It is an unbeatable retro New York trend. a symbol of culture. 3. Janis Sunglasses The well-known thin steel series is not only comfortable enough to make you look like you are not wearing sunglasses at all, but its minimalist and tough waistline is its unique symbol. However, unless you are very confident that you have a face with glasses, it is recommended to try on round-frame sunglasses first. Although not only the head shape but also the shape is black, it does require intellectual support. 4. Warby Parker Sunglasses Household name Warby Parker will no longer discuss the story of how the budget sunglasses brand created a new business model, all the way to the scale of tomorrow. This narrow square style looks ordinary at first glance, but as long as you are the right one, you will find another beautiful world when you wear a flat frame.
