SicK As mY SecReTs Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 The Most Fashionable Power Women Of 2012In a 2010 interview at the American University of Central Asia in Kurgistan, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a moderator a serious dressing-down when he asked her preference in fashion.“What designers do you prefer?” he asked.“What designers of clothes?” Clinton responded flatly.“Yes.”“Would you ever ask a man that question?” she asked, which was met with applause by the audience.“Probably not,” said the moderator. “Probably not.”But despite the fact that the second most powerful woman in the world (after German Chancelor Angela Merkel) prefers to discuss foreign policy over fashion, Clinton has somehow become a non-style style icon, whether she’s carrying Salvatore Ferragamo handbags and posing for Harper’s Bazaar in her signature pantsuit or appearing bare-faced at a Bangladesh news conference. In putting substance over style, the Secretary of State has set an authoritative example of low-key fashion consciousness.But if there’s one time to put style over substance, it’s New York Fashion Week. For eight days, New Yorkers become fashion obsessed and dinner table conversations turn from the stock market and media gossip to textiles and hemlines. NPR hosted a special… Even the Wall Street Journal is writing up shows.While we’ll leave that to the lifestyle channel (instead living fashion week vicariously through Twitter), we’re taking this opportunity to highlight the most fashionable women atop our annual FORBES Power Women list. From fashion designers and CEOS to celebrities and–of course–Anna Wintour herself, these 15 women are not only at the top of their game professionally, they manage to do it in style.We’ve left Secretary of State Hillary Clinton off this list in keeping with her wishes… Not that we don’t think she’s fabulous…The 15 Most Fashionable Power Women of 2012Michelle Obama’s dress at the Democratic National Convention got rave reviews from pundits on both sides of the political aisle; it was designed by the African-American designer, Tracy Reese, whose spring/summer 2013 collection debuted Sunday at Lincoln Center with Lauren Conrad and actress Shenae Grimes in attendance. Over on Styleite Hilary George-Parkin picks 10 looks from the collection deemed “Obama-Worthy.”Blue Carreon, FORBES lifestyle contributor says it isn’t just Mrs. Obama’s inspired choices—and commitment to American designers—that has made her an icon, it’s her high style-low-budget strategy that has citizens swooning. In the Obama’s four years in office, the first lady has made a splash—and taken the stigma out of inexpensive clothes—regularly appearing in J.Crew and Zara separates.Diane Von Furstenberg, the reigning president of the CFDA, is of course atop our list, as she oversees the fashion designers on the board of the American fashion industry’s governing body. The Belgian-born von Furstenberg may have begun designing clothing in 1970 with $30K, but has since risen to the top and when her collection debuted this week she also pushed her way into the tech arena as well. Her show featured the much-hyped Google Glasses—and Sergey Brin, Google’s cofounder, was in the front row.Speaking of women in tech, Arianna Huffington, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer are all known label-lovers. Sandberg has declined being interviewed on her style in the past but has appeared in Calvin Klein and Prada, while Mayer’s penchant for Oscar da la Renta is no secret. She once paid $60,000 at an auction for lunch with the designer and it’s storied she designed her wedding dress in close collaboration with the designer Naeem Khan. Both executives have posed for Vogue.Jennifer Lopez and Sofia Vergara both launched clothing lines this year with low-end retailers (Vergara at Kmart, J.Lo at Kohls) aiming to get cozy with the rapidly growing Latino consumer market. Beyonce and supermodel Gisele Bundchen also have stepped into the arena as designers of commercial lines for women. And since nothing says Middle-American fashion like home shopping, HSN CEO Mindy Grossman is on our list; the 55 year old controls $3.2 billion in annual revenue.Oprah and Angelina Jolie are both effortlessly fabulous but undeniably trend-setters (the “effortless” doesn’t apply to Lady Gaga but she’s no less fabulous). When Oprah touts a product, it can mean the difference between billions of dollars (something SPANX founder Sara Blakely can personally attest). And how many women will we see in thigh-high slits on the red carpets this award season? I think “a lot” is a more-than-safe bet.Somehow we’re left with the British lot. Queen Elizabeth is arguably the second-most-watched woman in the United Kingdom (after new granddaughter-in-law Kate) and her choice in hats sets the style for designers through the realm while American-born Angela Ahrendts is credited with revitalizing century-old Burberry. In financial benchmarks, sales of nearly $3 billion are more than double what they were upon her arrival at the company in 2006, and the stock has returned nearly 300% in that time.Last, but quite obviously not least in this roundabout list is Vogue editrix Anna Wintour. Vogue, which reaches 11.4 million readers in print and an average 1.2 million monthly visitors online is the undisputed “fashion bible.” When it comes to her own personal look (perfectly coiffed bob, pristine flats), one word comes to mind: consistent. “Wintour’s look is as consistently polished and uptown as the magazine she edits,” says Carreon. “She knows what best flatters her frame and age and sticks to it. even if she wears the same silhouette, she’s wearing the print of the season, making her look [both] current and timeless.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SicK As mY SecReTs Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 since it's not nothing close to fashion, I cut only the parts about Gisele and Tom and some few more too Meet UNREAL, A Natural Candy Maker Endorsed By Jack Dorsey, Matt Damon, Gisele And Tom Brady UNREAL, a food company that removes "corn syrup, hydrogenated fats, GMOs, artificial colors, flavors and preservatives" from candy and replaces those ingredients with "real cane sugar, real milk, more peanuts, and more cacao" has introduced itself to the internet with this video: Why does it feature at the: 34 mark, Gisele Bundchen making mint tea in what appears to be her own home? I ask you, what communicates "health and wellness" better than Gisele brewing up a hot cup of water and mint? UNREAL considers itself a food company, as it plans to make moves in snacks, breakfast foods and soda in the future, says CEO John Burns. He's a managing partner at Raptor Consumer Partners, which first invested in UNREAL in December 2011. But for now, UNREAL makes five different candies. "We decided to launch in candy because it has had no significant innovation in some time," Burns says. "Most innovation [in the category] comes in the form of small product line extensions and new packaging." The video features Tom Brady (Gisele's husband), Matt Damon, John Legend and Jack Dorsey - all of whom lavish praise on the product, amidst scenes involving the hacking of raw agave and the consumption of raw cacao. Burns says that some of these big names have invested in the company, although he won't divulge which ones. There will be more famous faces in the future, Burns says, as UNREAL vamps up an aggressive digital and experiential marketing campaign that targets what he sees as the brand's core demographic - millennials.

SicK As mY SecReTs Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Gisele Bundchen spotted at Patriots game, October 7, 2012Some stars, celebrities and siblings were spotted enjoying and playing in Sunday's Patriots-Broncos game at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Here's a quick roundup:- With Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days” blaring on the stadium’s sound system at the end of Sunday night’s game, Belichick jogged onto the field and hugged Broncos’ head coach John Fox, then made a beeline for Broncos’ center Dan Koppen (who was a New England Patriot from 2003-2011) and embraced him.- Also hugging on the field post game were New England Patriots’ tight end Rob Gronkowski and his brother, Denver Broncos’ fullback Chris Gronkowski, who on Sunday had their first NFL faceoff.- Enjoying Sunday night’s game from the owner’s box was none other than Virgin Atlantic’s Richard Branson — that would be Sir Richard Branson, if you ask England’s monarchy. Branson and a colleague chatted with Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft through much of the game. The New England Patriots will be flying on Virgin Atlantic Airways when they fly across the pond to play at London’s Wembley Stadium later this month. Word has it that this was Branson’s first NFL game- Looking fashionable as ever in a loose-fitting, thigh-length gray sweater (covering her very noticeable baby bump), black leggings and mid-calf high black boots, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen was all smiles as she left Gillette Stadium Sunday night following hubby Tom Brady’s impressive performance over the Broncos. Bundchen, 32, who is reportedly due at the end of this year, had her 2-year-old son, Benjamin, in tow. It was good to see Mrs. Tom Brady smiling, as she is dealing with the recent death of her beloved dog, Vida. The Yorkshire Terrier died last week, prompting Bundchen to take to her Facebook page and write: “My best friend, she will always live on in my heart. Let’s never take for granted the unconditional love that our animals show us every single day.” Accompanying the posting was a picture of Bundchen with her pup.http://www.thesunchr...19bb2963f4.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SicK As mY SecReTs Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 about Harper's Bazaar Brazil November 2012 seems we'll get two covers Clicked by Terry Richardson for the anniversary edition of Harper's Bazaar , Gisele Bundchen plays with cupcakes and having fun with balloons in the test performed in the photographer's studio in New York, especially for a Brazilian magazine.The editorial has text signed by Glenda Bailey , director of editorial Bazaar U.S.. She recalls, for example, who also chose the top for the cover of the issue that marked his debut in office in 2011. "Actually, we publish two covers with Gisele in that issue: a full body and a close-up. Also photographed from behind, to stamp the back cover of the magazine. No matter the angle - Gisele is a work of art, "says. The magazine hits newsstands on Friday (26.10). Do not miss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michelabella Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 this translation is confusing! glenda bailey is the editor of us bazaar. are these old quotes i wonder? what does she have to do with this project. hmm. my mind can only hope gi is gonna be on a us version too,lol. terry also shoots all us bazaar covers. but glenda could just be reflecting about giseles 2004 covers which were a closeup and full body. i think im over analyzing this lol. confused.

SicK As mY SecReTs Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 2004 cover is what I remembered after reading that,I also can't get clearly,I should ask someone Brazilian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelabella Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 i looked on her web and i think it means that they just have an exclusive interview by glenda bailey talking about gisele. the part about the two covers was probably just an exerpt of what glenda says. (hope we get a translation!)and gi did indeed have the two covers in 04. or maybe shes talking about her 2002 covers in the red dress. it came with a closeup full body and a back cover with the back of gis head. would love to be wrong though and gi be on more covers haha. those translations can be so confusing. gisele did/does something right to have every major magazine editor,photographer,designer,stylist etc to sing her praises and want to work with her year after year.
