Step into Rene Ruiz’s Coral Gables store and you enter an elegant world of colorful gowns and cocktail dresses draped in silks and chiffons, floating on racks atop the shiny marble floors.

Then, like passing through the looking glass, walk to the back of the retail space, into the designer’s atelier a two-story warren of fabric rolls, sewing machines and cutting tables, where assistants stitch and trim, turning Ruiz’s visions into reality.Ruiz’s designs take form on padded mannequins inside his atelier. Seamstresses are busy completing Fall 2012 orders for delivery, while Ruiz is working on sketches for his next collection pring/Summer 2013, which he will show in New York and Paris, starting at the end of September.The collection, he said, will be “romantic, but also modern at the same time, with a little bit of Miami flair.”

The fabrics are inspired by a recent trip to Malta, with colors that mimic the waters and coral of the Blue Grotto. He will also incorporate a green flowery printed silk, inspired by a remnant he bought at a vintage store in Rome eight years ago and had reproduced in Italy.More than two decades after he started fashioning women’s Herve Leger Outlet dresses, business is booming. Ruiz’s firm has expanded into a multimillion-dollar design house, with 35 employees crafting and selling glamorous collections that grace runways during Fashion Weeks in New York and Paris.

Thanks to the expansion spearheaded by partner Brad Rosenblatt Ruiz now sells his dresses at 85 high-end specialty boutiques in the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait. This year, for the first time, that revenue is expected to surpass sales at the flagship store.puts so much heart and soul into each dress, said Miami Beach socialite Christy Martin, 31, who met Ruiz through a friend 10 years ago and has bought 30 dresses over the years, including a custom-made gown she wore to Lea and Roy Black’s annual gala in March. “Every dress I have, I could wear it now like I could 10 years ago it’s fun and sexy, but it’s classy and timeless, too.” ]]> https://ameblo.jp/hervelegeroutlet/entry-11317460288.html Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:18:06 +0900 Christian Louboutin Wedding Shoes.
But designer Christian Louboutin believes stilettos have a far more powerful effect on ladies - and their libidos.
The designer recounted a meeting with a French academic to The Sunday Times: 'She said that what is sexual in a high heel is the arch of the foot, because it is exactly the position of a woman's foot when she orgasms.

The agony and the ecstasy: High heels have a powerful effect on women's libidos
'So putting your foot in a heel, you are putting yourself in a possibly orgasmic situation.
Women get on those stilettos ready... and dressed to kill. On the other side Men are like those bulfighters of desire. They get ready to take those sensual 'libido-bulls' of refrained sensuality by the porns... I mean Horns and look for the best angle to give it a shot. If you women look at the mirror on high heels, you will see a change:
Your chest will... and your breast of course... activate a red flag in us men (We didn't say dogs yet!)
Your derrier will be... somehow, someway... enhanced and tonified, for the sake of us poor guys...! Will you please call later, Eddy Scissor hands?
They have massage, Spas and pedicurists... Raul0324, who is a masseur can back us up. Hot actresses from Hollywood get surrounded by an entourage of foot specialists who advice them the best way they can.
One solution is to limit the amount of time you ladies spend in heels. The human body was design to give warnings, and you should know your limitations. You cannot confuse Madea's heels with Janet Jackson's wardrobe... I mean feet!
I don't personally want to wear them because I think they are incredibly uncomfortable and they make my back hurt. But if someone else wants to torture herself by wearing high heels, she should be able to, as long as the shoes don't look like they came straight out of the Frederick's of Hollywood catalog....

Seriously, like women don't have enough fashion rules.
Always wear a bra, but don't ever make it obvious that you are wearing one.
Puh-lease. As long as they aren't more than like 2 or 3 inches or obviously kitschy, heels are appropriate office wear provided they go with your outfit
Use common sense and try to blend in, if you're the only one in heels, you probably don't want to wear 3 inch heels.

How is the French luxury label dealing with this trend, even as it attracts more clientele from second- and third-tier cities?
"We do try very hard to do everything without any sense of compromise. And I think Chinese customers really appreciate that, and they see it. That I would say is very much the key to it," says Zanardi-Landi, a Briton who has been with Louis Vuitton Outlet in China since 2003, and who is married to a native of Sichuan and is the father of an 8-year-old boy.
"The products we create are completely unique in the way we do them. There's a really, really strong investment that we put in after-sales. I mean, the after-sales structure that we built in China is unparalleled to anybody else's."
Next month, as part of the label's 20th anniversary celebration in China, LV will unveil an expanded store at Plaza 66, Shanghai's premier luxury shopping mall.
Zanardi-Landi declined to reveal details of the store ahead of its reopening, except to say: "It's really one of the most extraordinary stores we've built anywhere in the world. We think it will bring a level of elegance, sophistication and refinement that is new, frankly, to the world of luxury."
The label's focus in China right now is the quality of its customer service rather than the quantity of its stores. This is partly to encourage Chinese customers to do their shopping at home – even if prices here are higher.
"There are reasonably high import duties and very high VAT in China, which of course has an impact on the price," Zanardi-Landi says. "We would love to be able to have pricing in China that's the same as other markets in the world, but unfortunately we're unable to do that today.
As China prepares to replace Japan in the top spot for worldwide luxury consumption, Louis Vuitton is well placed to capitalize further on its brand.
Fang Wenting has had an eight-year love affair with Louis Vuitton. The 30-year-old bought her first LV in 2004, the classic Speedy 30 handbag in Monogram Multicolore Canvas.
Since then, she has built quite a collection from the French luxury label: around a dozen bags, a wallet, a card holder, a pendant, a belt, a key chain, a hairclip, scarves and T-shirts.
Fang, a Shanghai housewife, is upfront about her admiration of the 158-year-old brand.

"In each city that we have a Louis Vuitton store, what we try to do is to have a very close relationship with our customers," he adds. "It's clear that if you're at home and you walk into the store where everybody knows you and greets you by name that's a very personal experience and can't be matched anywhere else."
Strategies like this are among the ways the French fashion house is staying ahead of competition.
"I don't think LV ever stands still – especially in China," says Teo, who is based in Hong Kong.
"The new store is also reported to have craftsmen in-store explaining their handwork. This will mark a shift in marketing strategy from the brand, in response to the consumers' changing needs."
When the store opens its doors on July 18, there's a good chance Fang Wenting will be among its first shoppers.
"LV was the first luxury brand I ever encountered, so it's also the brand that has made the strongest impression," she says.

I'm drawn to people who do things for the absolute love of it; it makes them happy and attractive. When they produce something as beautiful as the iconic red-soled Louboutin heel to boot, it's just another tack in the soul. Displaying passion makes me warm to people, it gives a new facet, a je ne sais quoi that translates to a magnetic demeanour.
He tells us his captive audience, how his desire to design came from his early life of working with showgirls. He says that to him 'the girls were real birds of paradise', he did not side lie their fabulous feathered outfits as costumes; in his eyes it was merely a glamorous way for women to dress, acceptable in public, and sexy. His footwear went on to reflect these far out and fabulous outfits that he had watched shimmy and shake around the girls.
I'm at the Design Museum in London for a preview of Monsieur Louboutin's landmark show. It is 21 years since he opened his first shop, close to Notre Dame in Paris, and 21 years since he introduced the iconic red sole which was to be his trademark. In true style, he is wearing a red jumper today; as his coined phrase goes 'Red is for luck. Red is for love. Red is for passion. Red is for Louboutin soles'.
I'm given 30 minutes to fall head over heels in love with a man that I already have an undiluted love for; he has me at three. I'm charmed by his raw love of designing. He tells us that being the best know shoemaker in the world was never on the agenda for him, it wasn't in his master plan. Becoming the creator of every woman's favourite footwear was simply a by-product of Christian Louboutin pursuing his own passion. All he ever wanted to do was to make pretty things for beautiful women and by god did he get his wish.
The Early days
The attribute that most draws me to Christian Louboutin as a person is his undying love for the female form. He understands what women want; how they want to stand out from the crowd and feel special. When asked whether he has a particular woman in mind when he is designer shoes, Monsieur Louboutin tells us that in most cases he does not, but when he does he imagines the woman naked, wearing only his shoes. What type of woman could not fall inherently in love with someone who custom concepts a shoe based on the thought of them wearing those and nothing else? ]]> https://ameblo.jp/hervelegeroutlet/entry-11245870188.html Wed, 09 May 2012 11:56:43 +0900 herve leger outlet dress Co. (BWS) and private-equity firms, the people said, after fourth- quarter same-store sales rose the most in more than two years. While Collective’s wholesale unit also boosted sales 24 percent last year, potential buyers would have to take on the retailer’s debt, which exceeded a half-billion dollars. Collective would then cost more relative to earnings than any U.S. apparel retailer deal on record, the data show.
An offer of $20 to $22 is “the right price given what the company’s doing now,” Bill Kavaler, a special situations analyst at Oscar Gruss & Son Inc. in New York, said in a telephone interview. “Making progress takes time.”
Payless ShoeSource Inc. became Collective Brands after acquiring Stride Rite Corp. in August 2007. Its retail operations, which included about 3,500 Payless ShoeSource outlets in the U.S. last fiscal year, accounted for about 80 percent of revenue, according to a company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The rest came from its wholesale business, which supplies Saucony, Sperry Top-Sider, Stride Rite and Keds herve leger dress to retailers.
After plunging 71 percent from its all-time high in May 2007 and reporting same-store sales declines for four straight years, Collective said on Aug. 24 that it would review “a full range” of alternatives to boost shareholder returns.
At yesterday’s closing price, Collective was valued at 0.34 times its sales in the fiscal year ended in January, the lowest among publicly traded apparel retailers with a market capitalization greater than $1 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A $22 per-share offer would value Collective at about 0.38 times sales, still the lowest among its peers, the data show.
While Collective’s stock is trading at the cheapest among rivals relative to sales, the company’s $610 million in borrowings make it more expensive by other measures.
Taking net debt into account, Collective’s $19.33 closing price yesterday valued the company at 14.2 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, compared with the median 8.68 times for peers and also higher than the median 9.22 Ebitda multiple on U.S. apparel retail deals greater than $500 million, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Collective’s debt load is “a hold back, it’s definitely a negative,” Patrick McKeever, an analyst at MKM Partners in Stamford, Connecticut, said in a telephone interview.
Given the revival in demand at Collective’s Payless outlets, the company may still justify a higher price, according to Dorothy Lakner, an analyst at Caris & Co. in New York.
Collective’s earnings for its fiscal first quarter, which ends at about the same time that final bids are expected, could sway the company’s decision on price, she said.
“Why would management simply accept what to me looks like a relatively lowball offer in the low 20s if on their own they were beginning to do better?” Lakner said.
The average 12-month stock-price estimate of $19.50 among analysts who cover Collective, less than 1 percent above its current price, suggests a lower valuation for the company.
“Something north of $20 is aggressive, but certainly within the realm of possibility,” McKeever at MKM said. Still, “I just don’t see a quick or easy fix for Payless. You have to weigh that pretty heavily in valuing the company.”
While no final bids have been made, the price range of $20 to $22 a share is higher than Collective anticipated in August, said the people familiar, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private.
E-Land has indicated to Collective it will put in a solo bid to acquire the whole company and hasn’t given a price, said one of the people. St. Louis-based Brown Shoe also has indicated it will bid, most likely with Cerberus Capital Management LP, said one of the people.
Ro Byung Gyoo, a spokesman for E-Land, declined to comment on whether the company plans to submit a final offer, bid jointly with other partners or what it might pay. Peggy Reilly Tharp, a spokeswoman for Brown Shoe, wasn’t immediately available to comment. A representative from New York-based Cerberus declined to comment on whether the private-equity firm will bid for Collective.
Collective’s shares have already rallied 88 percent to $19.33 yesterday since the company initiated its review in August and announced an effort to revive flagging sales at Payless. It included shuttering 475 under-performing stores, implementing brand-loyalty programs and changing the herve leger apparel mix to focus more on lower-priced items.
‘Bearing Fruit’
Same-stores sales, or sales at outlets open more than one year, grew 1.6 percent at the company’s U.S. Payless stores in the fourth quarter and 1.7 percent overall, the most since 2009, the company said.
“You’re starting to see some of these things bearing fruit,” Christopher Svezia, senior analyst for Susquehanna International Group LLC in New York, in a telephone interview. Susquehanna owns shares of Collective Brands. Still, “at the end of the day Payless is a very mature business, it’s not a growth business.”
Svezia said a takeover price of $22 or $23 a share “makes some sense.”
Collective’s sales are projected to rise 2 percent in the current fiscal year and 4 percent the following year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
