Triumphant lingerie despite tough times

Rikke — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 06:30:35 +0000

Lingerie giant Triumph has a clear strategy: specific products for specific markets. In China, Triumph is all about colors, patterns, and lots of sass, whereas the Western customer gets a more muted brand. But the crisis has taken its toll on Triumph, explains head of sales and retail Søren Steffensen (yes, he’s a Dane): ”Underwear is not a must-have as such. It’s not all that visible, so of course we’ve felt the crisis. But we’ve decided to use the climate for our own benefit: We need to be proactive so that we’ll be the ones the customers remember once the crisis is over.”

Devil in disguise

Rikke — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:04:16 +0000

So you thought Anna Wintour was the devil dressed in prada? Well, think again, the real drama queen in american fashion was her notorious predecessor, Diana Vree- land (1903-1989), editor-in-chief at Vogue and before that at rival Harper’s Bazaar, altogether for half a century. after retiring from the media world, she became curator at The Met’s Costume Institute in New York, but her true legacy is her impact on the rise of american fashion. She was known to advise Jackie Kennedy on her style, and for the rest of the world, she constantly challenged her readers to be on the cutting edge of fashion. The wife of her grandson, film director Lisa Immordino Vreeland, has put together a documentary about this stylish and extraordinary woman, who spared no one among her staff in her pursuit of excellence. It’s called ”The eye Has To Travel” and is available at www.amazon.co.uk starting February 8.

Likewise, DAY and the SS13 collection are everything Columbine represents: bohe- mian but still very exclusive. The campaign was shot in Keld Mikkelsen’s house, just the setting to combine a perfect collection with Columbine’s warmth and sense of style.
