HALLOWEEN

 Halloween Or Hallowe'En (a Contraction Of Hallows' Even Or Hallows' Evening), Also Known As Allhalloween,All Hallows' Eve, Or All Saints' Eve, Is a Celebration Observed In Many Countries On 31 October, The Eve Of The Western Christian Feast Of All Hallows' Day. It Begins The Three-Day Observance Of Allhallowtide, The Time In The Liturgical Year Dedicated To Remembering The Dead, Including Saints (Hallows), Martyrs, And All The Faithful Departed.

   It Is Widely Believed That Many Halloween Princess Jasmine Cosplay Traditions Originated From Ancient Celtic Harvest Festivals, Particularly The Gaelic Festival Samhain; That Such Festivals May Have Had Pagan Roots; And That Samhain Itself Was Christianized As Halloween By The Early Church.

   Some Believe, However, That Halloween Began Solely As a Christian Holiday, Separate From Ancient Festivals Like Samhain Halloween Activities Include Trick-Or-Treating (Or The Related Guising And Souling), Attending Halloween Costume Parties, Carving Pumpkins Into Jack-o'-Lanterns, Lighting Bonfires, Apple Bobbing, Divination Games, Playing Pranks, Visiting Haunted Attractions, Telling Scary Stories, As Well As Watching Horror Films. 

 In Many Parts Of The World, The Christian Religious Observances Of All Hallows' Eve, Including Attending Church Services And Lighting Candles On The Graves Of The Dead, Remain Popular,[ Although Elsewhere It Is a More Commercial And Secular Celebration. Some Christians Historically Abstained From Meat On All Hallows' Eve, a Tradition Reflected In The Eating Of Certain Vegetarian Foods On This Vigil Day, Including Apples, Potato Pancakes, And Soul Cakes

 The Word Halloween Or Hallowe'En Dates To About 1745 And Is Of Christian Origin. 

 The Word "Hallowe'En" Means "Saints' Evening". It Comes From a Scottish Term For All Hallows' Eve (The Evening Before All Hallows' Day).In Scots, The Word "Eve" Is Even, And This Is Contracted To e'En Or Een. Over Time, (All) Hallow(s) E(v)En Evolved Into Hallowe'En. Although The Phrase "All Hallows'" Is Found In Old English "All Hallows' Eve" Is Itself Not Seen Until 1556

 Today's Halloween Customs Are Thought To Have Been Influenced By Folk Customs And Beliefs From The Celtic-Speaking Countries, Some Of Which Are Believed To Have Pagan Roots. Jack Santino, a Folklorist, Writes That "There Was Throughout Ireland An Uneasy Truce Existing Between Customs And Beliefs Associated With Christianity And Those Associated With Religions That Were Irish Before Christianity Arrived". Historian Nicholas Rogers, Exploring The Origins Of Halloween, Notes That While "Some Folklorists Have Detected Its Origins In The Roman Feast Of Pomona, The Goddess Of Fruits And Seeds, Or In The Festival Of The Dead Called Parentalia, It Is More Typically Linked To The Celtic Festival Of Samhain, Which Comes From The Old Irish For 'Summer's End'."

 Samhain (/ˈSɑːWɪn, ˈSaʊɪn/) Was The First And Most Important Of The Four Quarter Days In The Medieval Gaelic Calendar And Was Celebrated On 31 October – 1 November In Ireland, Scotland And The Isle Of Man. A Kindred Festival Was Held At The Same Time Of Year By The Brittonic Celts, Called Calan Gaeaf In Wales, Kalan Gwav In Cornwall And Kalan Goañv In Brittany; a Name Meaning "First Day Of Winter". For The Celts, The Day Ended And Began At Sunset; Thus The Festival Began On The Evening Before 7 November By Modern Reckoning (The Half Point Between Equinox And Solstice).

  Samhain And Calan Gaeaf Are Mentioned In Some Of The Earliest Irish And Welsh Literature. The Names Have Been Used By Historians To Refer To Celtic Halloween Customs Witch Costumes Up Until The 19th Century, And Are Still The Gaelic And Welsh Names For Halloween.

OKTOBERFEST COSTUMES

Oktoberfest  (German Pronunciation: [ƆkˈToːBɐˌFɛst]) Is The World's Largest Volksfest (Beer Festival And Travelling Funfair). Held Annually In Munich, Bavaria, Germany, It Is a 16- To 18-Day Folk Festival Running From Mid- Or Late September To The First Sunday In October, With More Than Six Million People From Around The World Attending The Event Every Year. Locally, It Is Called d’Wiesn, After The Colloquial Name For The Fairgrounds, Theresienwiese. The Oktoberfest Is An Important Part Of Bavarian Culture, Having Been Held Since The Year 1810. Other Cities Across The World Also Hold Oktoberfest Dirndl Dress Celebrations That Are Modeled After The Original Munich Event.

 During The Event, Large Quantities Of Oktoberfest Beer Are Consumed: During The 16-Day Festival In 2013, For Example, 7.7 Million Litres (66,000 Us Bbl; 1,700,000 Imp Gal) Were Served. Visitors Also Enjoy Numerous Attractions, Such As Amusement Rides, Sidestalls, And Games. There Is Also a Wide Variety Of Traditional Foods Available.

 The Munich Oktoberfest Originally Took Place In The 16-Day Period Leading Up To The First Sunday In October. In 1994, This Longstanding Schedule Was Modified In Response To German Reunification. As Such, If The First Sunday In October Falls On The 1st Or The 2nd, Then The Festival Would Run Until 3 October (German Unity Day). Thus, The Festival Now Runs For 17 Days When The First Sunday Is 2 October And 18 Days When It Is 1 October. In 2010, The Festival Lasted Until The First Monday In October (4 October), To Mark The Event's Bicentennial.

 Kronprinz Ludwig (1786–1868), Later King Ludwig I (Reign: 1825–1848), Married Princess Therese Of Saxe-Hildburghausen On 12 October 1810. The Citizens Of Munich Were Invited To Attend The Festivities Held On The Fields In Front Of The City Gates To Celebrate The Royal Event. The Fields Were Named Theresienwiese ("Theresa's Meadow") In Honour Of The Crown Princess, And Have Kept That Name Ever Since, Although The Locals Have Since Abbreviated The Name Simply To The "Wiesn". Horse Races, In The Tradition Of The 15th-Century Scharlachrennen (Scarlet Race At Karlstor), Were Held On 18 October To Honor The Newlyweds. It Is Widely Understood That Andreas Michael Dall'Armi, a Major In The National Guard, Proposed The Idea. However, The Origins Of The Horse Races, And Oktoberfest Itself, May Have Stemmed From Proposals Offered By Franz Baumgartner, a Coachman And Sergeant In The National Guard. The Precise Origins Of The Festival And Horse Races Remain a Matter Of Controversy, However, The Decision To Repeat The Horse Races, Spectacle, And Celebrations In 1811 Launched What Is Now The Annual Oktoberfest Tradition.

 The Fairground, Once Outside The City, Was Chosen Due To Its Natural Suitability. The Sendlinger Hill (Today Theresienhohe) Was Used As a Grandstand For 40,000 Race Spectators. The Festival Grounds Remained Undeveloped Except For The King's Tent. The Tastings Of "Traiteurs" And Other Wine And Beer Took Place Above The Visitors In The Stands On The Hill. Before The Race Started, a Performance Was Held In Homage Of The Bridegroom And Of The Royal Family In The Form Of a Train Of 16 Pairs Of Children Dressed In Wittelsbach Costumes, And Costumes From The Then Nine Bavarian Townships And Other Regions Bavarian Garment . This Was Followed By The Punishing Race With 30 Horses On An 11,200-Foot (3,400 Meters) Long Racetrack, And Concluded With The Singing Of a Student Choir. The First Horse To Cross The Finish Line Belonged To Franz Baumgartner (One Of The Purported Festival Initiators). Horse Racing Champion And Minister Of State Maximilian Von Montgelas Presented Baumgartner With His Gold Medal.

HERVE LEGER STORY

Herve Leger Dresses, Who Has Died Aged 60, Was The French Couturier Who Created The Bandage Dress – Hailed As One Of The Iconic Dresses Of All Time, It Made Its Way From Catwalks To The High Street.

 Made For Women With “With a Bosom, a Waist And Curves”, The Dress Became a Hit With The “Body Conscious” Hollywood Jet Set Of The 1990s And Noughties And Brought a New Sexiness To The Catwalk, Personified By Cindy Crawford, Plus a Plethora Of Actresses.

Liz Hurley Was Also One Of The Early Adopters Of The Dress.

 With Success, Leger Needed To Expand His Business Into Ready-To-Wear In Order To Compete In The 1990s. Financial Backing Came From The Canadian Drinks Conglomerate Seagram. Initially, All Seemed Well With Leger Producing 8,000 Pieces a Season, As Against 160 Two Years Earlier. However, With More And More Investment Forthcoming, Leger’s Holding Diminished Until Seagram Owned 95 Per Cent Of The Business.

 To His Consternation, It Then Sold The Company To La-Based Max Azria’s Bcbg. Within a Year He And Azria Had Fallen Out. Leger Found Himself Fired From His Own Label And Lost The Rights To The Leger Name.

 Born In 1957, In The Small Town Of Bapaume, 20 Miles South Of Arras, Northern France, Herve Peugnet Left Home At 18 And Headed To Paris To Study Sculpture And Art History At The Ecole Nationale Superieure Des Beaux-Arts. After Just a Year, However, He Dropped Out, Later Recalling, “It Was The Seventies, And Everyone Was On Strike”.

 Wanting a Job That Made Use Of His Hands And His Curiosity About The Properties All Types Of Fibres, He Embarked Upon a Hairdressing Apprenticeship – Effectively Training With a Difficult Fibre. Soon He Was Working Backstage At Fashion Shows For Houses Such As Chloe And Ysl. He Was Taught Himself To Make Hats And Dresses, And Secured Contract Work For Lanvin, Swarovski And Costume Designer Tan Giudicelli.

 It Was a Meeting At a Chloe Dinner Party In 1980, With German Couturier Karl Lagerfeld, However, Which Was To Change His Direction And His Life. “The Kaiser” Wanted a New Assistant And Asked To See Peugnet’s Sketches. Although Less Than Impressed, Lagerfeld Took Him On. The Pair Work Together At Fendi In Rome And Then Back At Chanel In Paris.

 Four Years Later, Peugnet Was Ready To Set Up His Own Business. On The Advice Of Lagerfeld, Claiming It Was Too Difficult For Anglophones To Pronounce, Peugnet Changed His Name To Leger, Taken From The French Word “Legerete” – Lightness.

The Label Herve Leger Launched In 1985 And, By The Late 1980s, The Bandage Dress Had Arrived, Which Appealed Because Of Its Tightness And Ability To Hold The Figure Positively, In And Up – This Allowed Unrestricted Poses For The Cameras. His First Full Collection In This Style Was Shown In 1991.

 The Inception Of “The Bandage Dress Was a Simple One,” He Once Recalled. “One Day In a Factory, I Found Some Bands That Were Headed For The Garbage. As a Hat Maker, They Gave Me The Idea Of Taking Those Bands And Putting Them Next To One Another As One Does Making a Hat, Using The Elastic Properties Of The Material (Rather Than Draping) To Provide Its Form.

He Also Designed Active Swimwear And Tights, Too. In 1994 Ballet Costumes For Roland Petit’s Company At The Paris Opera.

Following The Loss Of His Label, Leger Kept a Lower Profile Until 2000, When He Founded His Own Independently Financed Fashion House With His Sister Jocelyne: Herve L Leroux. This New Surname Was Again Suggested By His Friend And Mentor Lagerfeld. He Had Chosen Leroux On The Basis That Leger Had Once Had Red Hair “And Everyone Will Know Who You Are.”

 The Fledgling Business Struggled Financially, However, Although Leger Persisted, Making Couture And Swimwear For Private Clients. Between 2004 And 2006, He Worked As Creative Director At Guy Laroche, Dressing Hilary Swank In a Memorable Backless Midnight-Blue Jersey Gown, For The 2005 Oscars Where She Won Best Actress. He Also Worked For The High-End Austrian Manufacturer Wolford.

 In 2007, Azria Launched His Version Of Leger’s Bandage Dresses, Worn By The Likes Of Kim Kardashian, Which Paradoxically Raised Leroux’s Profile. He Subsequently Started Getting New Clients From All Spheres Of The Celebrity World, Including Cate Blanchett, Kylie Minogue, Jemima Khan, Naomi Watts, Taylor Swift And Kim Kardashian.

 His Passion Was Still In Garments That Clung To a Female Form But He Had Begun To Use Different Techniques To Mould The Body, Replacing Strip And Panel Structures With Draped Cloth, Working In Soft Viscose And Silk Jerseys – An Elegant Departure From The Skin-Tight Silhouette Of The Cheap Herve Leger Bandage Dress. Dita Von Teese Noted Leroux Was In The Same Classical Class As The Great Parisian Couturiere Madame Gres, Both Having Been Inspired By The Materials Depicted In Greek Sculpture.

INTERVIEW HERVE LEGER

Herve Leger’s Form-Fitting Bandage Dresses Have Their Iconic Place In Fashion’s History And The Red Carpet, But When Time Progresses, Women’s Aesthetics Alter. Brands Must Adjust Or Face Falling Demand—a Dangerous Downward Spiral For Any Business. Cheap Herve Leger’s Response To These Changing Times Was To Tap The Couture Expertise And Modern Perspective Of Christian Juul Nielsen. The Smart Shift In Creative Direction Allowed Us To Find a Renewed Appreciation For The French House. Juul Nielsen Brings With Him a Resume That Includes Renowned Fashion Houses Christian Dior, Nina Ricci, Oscar De La Renta And Land Of Distraction, Which He Presently Helms.

 For Those Who Feel Devoted To The Classic Herve Leger Dress, You’Ll Be Pleasantly Surprised And Actually Quite Intrigued. Juul Nielsen Has Kept The Invariant Characteristics Conceived By Herve Peugnet, Whom He Holds In Deep Regard While Leaving An Imprint That Is Solely His. A Collocation Of Bandage Knits To Billowing Shapes And The Introduction Of Tailoring Displays New Elegance And Movement—a Superb Fusion Of Juul Nielsen And Peugnet’s Visions. It’s With Great Pleasure We Bring You This Personal Look Into Christian Juul Nielsen’s Appointment As Creative Director For Herve Leger.

 When You Took Over The Creative Direction At Herve Leger, We Saw a Modern Transition, Which We Highly Appreciate. Has It Been Difficult Shifting The Design Focus Away From The Past And Into Present-Day Aesthetics?

 I Actually Went Back To The Beginning. I Spent a Lot Of Time Looking At The Styles From The Early ‘90s That Made Herve Leger So Unforgettable. The Styles Were Less Complicated And Felt More Modern To Me. I Decided To Bring Herve Leger Back To Its Roots And Base My Collections On This Era. So In a Way, I Did Go Back, I Just Went Back To The Beginning And Translated That Into New.

 When The Possibility Of Joining Herve Leger Came About, What Prospects Excited You The Most, Prompting You To Take On The Endeavor?

 Revamping a House With a Rich History And Identity Is a Fantastic Challenge. I Worked For Several Fashion Houses, Each With Its Own Strong Dna, Such As Dior And Nina Ricci. Part Of My Training Involved Repeatedly Going Back To The Beginning And Underlining What The Brand Was About. In This Case, I Was Excited About The Original Herve Aesthetic, The Modernity Of The Early Styles, The Energy Around The Girls Who Wore It, And About How I Could Take That Special Combination And Evolve It Into Something Relevant.

 Your First Collections Incorporate Layers Of Beautiful Fringe, Boxy Knits, And Graceful Outerwear—Can You Share More On Your Vision And Long-Term Goals For The House? Even Those Aspects That Reach Beyond Design?

 Bandage, Fringe And Cocktail Dresses Are All Part Of The Dna Of Herve, And I Will Continue Developing Them. Furthermore, We Are Diversifying The Collection With Separates And Daywear. In Fall, I Showed a Knitted Coat, And I Am Definitely Expanding Further Into Tailoring. I Really Love The Idea Of Tailored, Knitted Jackets. My Long-Term Goal Is To Continue To Breathe New Life Into This Brand And Make It Feel Fresh And Relevant Again.

 People Are Inundated With Fads, Even More So Due To The Proliferation Of Technology And Social Platforms. How Do You, As Creative Director, Push To Catch The Eyes Of Consumers In a Time Where Attention Spans Are Shortening?

 We Are Working In Different Ways On Different Platforms. I Provide General Direction And Vision To The Entire Team. Then Each Department Adapts That Concept For Their Platform, Whether It’s e-Commerce, Instagram Or An Ad Campaign.

 I Spend a Lot Of Time Creating a Mood And Aesthetic That I Feel Is Relevant To The Brand, Compiling a Portfolio Of Images Each Season. Every Collection Is First Shot As a Lookbook. Then We Shoot a Lifestyle Campaign In La, Which Is More Approachable But Still Carries The Same Vibe. That Concept Trickles Down To Other Content Shoots For Digital And Social. So Each Department Has a Lot To Work With And Can Use Their Respective Expertise To Adapt It For Their Platform.

 On a Personal Note, Looking Back, What Initially Piqued Your Curiosity For Clothing Design?

 I Have Been Sketching For As Long As I Remember. My Grandmother Gave Me Fabrics As a Child, And I Used Them To Make Herve Leger Mini Dress For Dolls And For My Sisters. I Soon Realized That The Combination Of Sketching And Draping Was Called Fashion Design. I’Ve Been Designing Ever Since.
