Isogawa originally enrolled in Welfare Studies at a Buddhist University in Kyoto, but quit the course before finishing.

In 1993, only two years after graduating, he founded his fashion label 'Akira ' and opened his first 'Akira Isogawa ' boutique in the exclusive suburb of Woollahra, Sydney. Three years later, Isogawa presented his first major fashion show at Australian Fashion Week Sydney, which he entitled 'New Generation Collection '. 1998 was the biggest year for Akira Isogawa 's fashion career, with his first international show in Paris Fashion Week, 'Botanica '.

    Costumes definitely contributed to the hypnotic effect that their free program makes. Deep blue looks elegant and at the same time they are not too dramatic nor dark. It helped to create the right mood before the music started. Yuko Kawaguti's dress has something demonic... Maybe it is the decoration that adorns the bodice and sleeves like frosty pattern, or the design of the neck. The dress is not suitable for everyone, and not for every program, but in this case it is a precise hit.…

    Divakurani's short story, "Clothes," recounts the story of an Indian woman, Sumita, as she begins an arranged marriage that takes her to America and introduces her to an entirely new life. I found it fascinating to read, in part because its account of Indian society's view of a woman's role is as different from my own experience as it is from the role women play in American society.…

    Collette Dinnigan was born in South Africa in 1966 and brought up in New Zealand. At age nineteen she graduated from the WellingtonPolytechnicCollege where she majored in fashion design. From here she moved to Sydney and began working for the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) in the costume department. She worked on many films and television series and was praised for her attention to detail and the historical flavour she brought to costume design and fabrication. Her first label was that of Palladium which she launched when she was twenty-one years old. Palladium sold mid-market streetwear range to department stores across Australia. She was very successful but left her job when the pressure became too much. When a knee-injury left her temporarily bedridden she began to make lingerie for her friends. The exquisite range of silk fibres and French laces were so well received by her friends and family that she decided to re-launch her career in fashion design and start her own label. So in 1990 the Collette Dinnigan label was born. It became so popular that it was picked up by Barney’s New York, Neiman Marcus, Harvey Nichols, and Joyce in Hong Kong and she now has three stores in Sydney, Melbourne and London as well as in-store boutiques in department stores around Australia.…

Mergers also can serve as a source of growth for a company, instead of a company reinvesting its returns into growing its own company at a rate in which the company can’t handle it can acquire one that has steady growth like itself and grow them both at a reasonable rate. It is also beneficial to companies that merger because they create added value through synergies, economies of scale, and better management.…

    Miuccia Prada was born in Milan on May 10, 1949 into a family of luxury leather goods manufacturers (Craven, 2008). Throughout the 1970s she was a champion for women’s rights and infamously part of the Italian Communist Party (Craven, 2008). In 1977, she met her husband and now business partner Patrizio Bertelli, who is now the driving force behind her business (Galloni, 2010). It was not until after she finished her PhD in Political Science, and a five-year stint studying mime at the Teatro Picco, that she took over her family’s business in 1978 (Craven, 2008). By 1985 Miuccia Prada had already created her first breakthrough line: black, unlabeled, finely woven, nylon handbags that…

    As I walked around the mall, I noticed the short shorts and baggy shirts that consume today’s women’s fashion. Leaving, I imagined the mall back in the 1950’s. The bright colored outfits reminded me of today’s. Even though both the 1950’s women fashion and 2016’s women fashion are bold in style, there are many similarities and differences in the two year’s fashion senses and their impressions on America’s fashion industry.…
