Corsica, France, Offers the Best of French Style – WWD – Pen 18

After two years and three lockdowns, the French, and their summer style, have arrived on the island of Corsica. Known for its turquoise waters, local rosé and stylish seaside villages, the mountainous island 146 miles southeast of Nice is a Mediterranean vacation classic – and style-spotting on the island in 2022 doesn’t disappoint.

Outside of Paris, pre-COVID-19 French street style was traditionally chic but reserved. More flamboyant looks were saved for the streets of the fashion capital. But everything has changed since the pandemic and this summer, the button-up look has given way to a more playful approach to style — and what’s even more interesting is a take on all things classic.

In Bonifacio, a town at the southern tip of the island, bright colors and early-2000s accents rule the streets. Summer staples like sun hats and linen chemises have been reimagined. Now they’ve been teamed with bold motifs, cargo pants, cycling shorts (which seem to be everywhere this spring and summer) and chunky footwear (again, ubiquitous around the world).

The recent European heatwave in which temperatures were climbing into the triple digits – combined with the “anything goes” attitude COVID-19 has left in its wake – means there is no longer any fear of showing some skin , which both literally and metaphorically makes for fresh air in French street style.

The monochromatic athleisure also makes for a perfect European vacation on the island that combines the best of France with a strong Italian vibe (after all, it’s only 8 miles north of Sardinia). But she’s about the only neutral palate on an island with basic activewear color — and cool.

Mar-a-Lago’s History and Timeline of the Club: Details, Photos – WWD – Pen 18

आज, मार-ए-लागो पूर्व राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प के साथ दृढ़ता से जुड़ा हुआ है, लेकिन क्लब एक संपत्ति और राष्ट्रीय ऐतिहासिक स्थल दोनों के रूप में एक दिलचस्प इतिहास समेटे हुए है।

पाम बीच, Fla।, संपत्ति हमेशा केवल-सदस्य क्लब नहीं थी या आधिकारिक मामलों के लिए उपयोग की जाती थी। यह पहली बार मार्जोरी मेर्रीवेदर पोस्ट द्वारा निर्मित एक बड़ी हवेली थी, जिसे घर के रूप में रहने के लिए पहले पोस्ट अनाज (अब जनरल फूड्स कॉर्प नाम दिया गया) के नाम से जाना जाता था।

1973 में पोस्ट की मृत्यु के बाद, उसने इस उम्मीद में संपत्ति को राष्ट्रीय उद्यान सेवा को सौंप दिया कि इसका उपयोग राज्य के दौरे के लिए या यूएस के राष्ट्रपतियों के आधिकारिक निवास के रूप में किया जाएगा, हालांकि, रखरखाव की लागत पोस्ट द्वारा शुरू में प्रदान की गई लागत से अधिक थी, जिसके कारण इसे अंततः 1981 में पोस्ट फाउंडेशन को लौटा दिया जाएगा।

1985 में, डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प ने 17 एकड़ की फ्लोरिडा संपत्ति को लगभग $ 8 मिलियन में खरीदा, हालांकि कुछ स्रोतों ने संयुक्त कुल लागत को लगभग $ 10 मिलियन बताया।

जब वह 2017 से 2021 तक राष्ट्रपति थे, तो ट्रम्प ने संपत्ति का इस्तेमाल अपने “विंटर व्हाइट हाउस” के रूप में किया था और इसे सर्दियों के महीनों के दौरान छुट्टी के घर के रूप में इस्तेमाल किया गया था।

यहां, WWD मार-ए-लागो क्लब के बारे में आपको जो कुछ भी जानने की जरूरत है उसे तोड़ता है। अधिक के लिए स्क्रॉल करें।

मार-ए-लागो का निर्माण कब हुआ था?

मार-ए-लागो संपत्ति, जिसका अर्थ स्पेनिश में “समुद्र से झील” है, को 1924 में पोस्ट और उनके पति एडवर्ड एफ। हटन के रहने के लिए खरीदा गया था। उन्होंने मैरियन सिम्स वायथ और जोसेफ अर्बन को घर बनाने और बनाने के लिए काम पर रखा था, जो 1927 में बनकर तैयार हुआ था।

स्मिथसोनियन के अनुसार, पोस्ट ने कथित तौर पर घर बनाने और प्रस्तुत करने के लिए लगभग $ 7 मिलियन खर्च किए, जो कि पाम बीच बैरियर पर स्थित है – एक राशि जो आज लगभग 110 मिलियन डॉलर है।

पोस्ट ने अपने और अपने पति हटन के लिए घर बनाया। भव्य संपत्ति में 58 बेडरूम, 33 बाथरूम (सोना चढ़ाया हुआ जुड़नार के साथ पूर्ण) और 1,800 वर्ग फुट का रहने का कमरा है जिसमें 42 फीट ऊंची छत है। संपत्ति, जो स्पष्ट रूप से 110,000 वर्ग फुट में फैली हुई है, सोने की पत्ती, इतालवी संगमरमर, स्पेनिश टाइलों और विनीशियन रेशम से ढकी हुई है।

जब 1973 में पोस्ट की मृत्यु हुई, तो उन्होंने आशा व्यक्त की थी कि अमेरिकी सरकार को इसे देकर घर का उपयोग राष्ट्रपतियों और गणमान्य व्यक्तियों के बीच बैठकों के लिए किया जा सकता है। हालांकि, रिचर्ड निक्सन ने पहले से ही की बिस्केन, Fla में अपने विंटर व्हाइट हाउस को प्राथमिकता दी थी, और जिमी कार्टर ने घर का बिल्कुल भी उपयोग नहीं किया था।

यह, संभावित महत्वपूर्ण बैठकों के लिए रखरखाव और सुरक्षा की भारी लागत के ऊपर, सरकार को 1981 में पोस्ट फाउंडेशन को संपत्ति वापस करने का कारण बना। रखरखाव की लागत प्रति वर्ष लगभग $ 1 मिलियन थी।

उस वर्ष बाद में, मार-ए-लागो $20 मिलियन की लिस्टिंग मूल्य पर बाजार में चला गया।

डोनाल्ड ट्रंप ने मार-ए-लागो को कब, क्यों और कितना खरीदा?

डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प, तब एक प्रसिद्ध व्यवसाय और रियल एस्टेट मुगल, घर चाहते थे, इसलिए उन्होंने कथित तौर पर $ 28 मिलियन की शुरुआती कीमत की पेशकश की, उन्होंने दावा किया, प्रति वाशिंगटन पोस्ट। हालांकि, इसे ठुकरा दिया गया।

उन्होंने पहली बार संपत्ति के बारे में सीखा जब वह पाम बीच में अपने परिवार के लिए गठबंधन करने के लिए दो अपार्टमेंट खरीदने में असमर्थ थे।

ट्रम्प ने सीधे मार-ए-लागो के सामने समुद्र तट की संपत्ति खरीदने का दावा किया और समुद्र के लिए अपने दृष्टिकोण को अवरुद्ध करने के लिए एक बड़ा घर बनाने की धमकी दी, जिससे संपत्ति में रुचि नाटकीय रूप से घट गई।

1985 में, उन्होंने $5 मिलियन में घर खरीदा, इसके साज-सामान के साथ आने के लिए अतिरिक्त $3 मिलियन के साथ।

अगले आठ वर्षों के लिए, उन्होंने मार-ए-लागो को एक क्लब में बदलने से पहले निवास के रूप में इस्तेमाल किया। वह और उसका परिवार अभी भी एक बंद और संपत्ति और मैदान के अलग हिस्से में एक निजी क्वार्टर बनाए हुए हैं।

अपने स्वामित्व के दौरान, उन्होंने एक लुई XIV- प्रेरित बॉलरूम जोड़ा जिसमें 40 फुट की छत और दीवारों पर सोने की पत्ती शामिल थी, जिसके लिए उन्होंने कथित तौर पर $ 7 मिलियन का भुगतान किया था, वाशिंगटन पोस्ट के अनुसार। उन्होंने पांच क्ले टेनिस कोर्ट और एक वाटरफ्रंट पूल भी जोड़ा। उस समय, उनकी तत्कालीन पत्नी इवाना ट्रम्प, जिनकी पिछले महीने 73 वर्ष की आयु में मृत्यु हो गई थी, ने संपत्ति चलाई।

90 के दशक में, ट्रम्प को वित्तीय संघर्ष का सामना करना पड़ा और परिणामस्वरूप अपने बैंकरों से कहा कि वह संपत्ति को छोटे घरों में विभाजित कर देंगे, जिससे पाम बीच के निवासी चिंतित थे कि योजना एक शांत सड़क को शोर में बदल देगी।

फिर, ट्रम्प ने 1994 में घर को एक निजी क्लब में बदल दिया।

इन वर्षों में, क्लब ने सेलीन डायोन, माइकल बोल्टन, एल्टन जॉन, बिली जोएल और डायना रॉस जैसे ए-लिस्ट मेहमानों को देखा, जिन्होंने चैरिटी गेंदों और कार्यक्रमों में प्रदर्शन किया। बदनाम फाइनेंसर और सजायाफ्ता यौन अपराधी, जेफरी एपस्टीन, साथ ही साथ उनके करीबी दोस्त और सहयोगी, घिसलीन मैक्सवेल ने भी वहां की घटनाओं और पार्टियों में भाग लिया।

प्रारंभ में, मार-ए-लागो की सदस्यता के लिए $200,000 दीक्षा शुल्क की आवश्यकता थी। 2012 में, बर्नी मैडॉफ घोटाले के कारण, जिसने उस समय कई स्थानीय निवासियों को प्रभावित किया, शुल्क कम होकर $ 100,000 हो गया।

जनवरी 2017 में, ट्रम्प के राष्ट्रपति चुने जाने के बाद, दीक्षा शुल्क बढ़कर $ 200,000 हो गया, जिसमें वार्षिक बकाया $ 14,000 था।

जब वह राष्ट्रपति थे, ट्रम्प अक्सर क्लब का दौरा करते थे, इसे अपने शीतकालीन व्हाइट हाउस के रूप में इस्तेमाल करते थे।

अपने कार्यकाल के दौरान, उन्होंने ब्राजील के राष्ट्रपति जायर बोल्सोनारो, चीन के राष्ट्रपति शी जिनपिंग और जापान के पूर्व प्रधान मंत्री शिंजो आबे जैसे अन्य विश्व नेताओं के साथ महत्वपूर्ण बैठकें कीं।

2019 में, मार-ए-लागो ट्रम्प और उनकी पत्नी मेलानिया ट्रम्प का प्राथमिक निवास बन गया। उनका पिछला प्राथमिक निवास न्यूयॉर्क शहर में था।

मार-ए-लागो अब प्रासंगिक क्यों है?

इस हफ्ते, एफबीआई ने सबूतों की तलाश के लिए क्लब की तलाशी ली कि ट्रम्प ने वर्गीकृत दस्तावेजों को गलत तरीके से पेश किया था जो शायद वहां लाए गए थे।

Photographers David LaChapelle, Steven Klein Ready for Fall Releases – WWD – Pen 18

can you picture it?Instagram has been the ultimate equalizer in finding new photographers, but there are other public exposures in the works from some well-established image makers.

David LaChapelle will have his first major US show next month at Fotogratiska New York. Titled “Make Believe,” the exhibition will feature more than 150 works spanning from 1984 to 2022. The illustrations begin with the photographer’s existential religious explorations that developed when the AIDS crisis took hold in New York City and influenced his friends in the ’80s and expanded to celebrities out and about.

La Chapelle captures Andy Warhol’s final paintings in 1986 in front of a bookshelf with an ancient Bible.

Rough Life: Pandora is the latest brand to address the fizzy market for premium pet accessories: Bone, heart and claw-shaped charms are the highlight of the Danish jeweler’s pet collar, which is available in two colors and four sizes.

Luxury brands have stampeded out pet accessories over the past year amid a spike in pet ownership during the pandemic, and a trend that has seen Millennials splurge more money on their cats and dogs.

Recent entrants to the category include Celine, Gucci, Versace, Moschino and DeSquare 2.

According to Euromonitor International, the global market for pet products, excluding food, is projected to grow by over $10 billion between 2020 and 2025, when it is expected to reach $36.89 billion.

Pandora’s pet collars are part of its Fall 2022 Moments collection, which is built around the allure of its collectibles, with dangling motifs echoing some of the motifs sported on human wrists, necks, and ear lobes.

“As a brand that aims to give voice to what people love, we wanted to meet this demand and provide pet owners the opportunity to reach their furry friends.” Sampo Emil Salonen, Brand Manager of Moments. “We’ve seen others step into this space as well, however, we’ve created a great range of products that are uniquely Pandora.”

Salonen noted that designing accessories for animals “brought new ideas into our process, where we worked with a unique set of materials to create products that cater to them.”

Pandora’s creative directors opted for a plant-based, leather-like material for the adjustable collar and mild stainless steel for the charm or tag, which can be engraved with messages and other details.

Salonen noted that the collar consists of up to 76 percent bio-based fibers and a corn-based resin, covered with a viscose-based fabric that is resistant to mold and bacteria.

The collection is available starting Thursday at Pandora stores with pet collars priced at $95 and tags at $35. — Miles Thought
