Fashion Camp NYC


Summer might well be over, judging by the drop in temperatures in New York City this week, but that doesn't mean it's too late for camp! FashionCampNY is an innovative open-conference that seeks to connect fashion-lovers to discuss the role of technology in fashion, and the future of the fashion industry. The conference takes place this weekend, September 12th and 13th, and is free. Attendees must however either lead or assist with a workshop.

Breaking News On Croatia

Readers may be reassured to know that they won't have to wait much longer to find out the hottest breaking news on Croatia.

We've been whizzing around the Dalmatian Coast and islands for the past couple of weeks and there's plenty to report. New hotels, restaurants and bars all over the place, plenty to be optimistic about in terms of tourist numbers, and a country that seems to be buzzing even though the high season is now officially over.

The weather has been great, apart from a fierce thunderstorm yesterday which produced hail the size of golfballs over our heads on Brać island. The cause of the storm was a battle between the Jugo (south east wind) and the Bora (north east wind). Fortunately the Bora won and the temperature is a little cooler today and the air certainly much fresher.

We'll be back at our desks next Friday, with a mountain of information and hundreds of photos to digest and distil to you in the coming weeks. Highlights include Škrip, Dol and Bol on Brać; Sućuraj, Jelsa and Stari Grad on Hvar; a rising star on the mainland - Drvenik; a new Gallery in Split; and much much more.

Norma Kamali's New Outlook on Fashion


“Between new technology and the economy, the fashion industry will never be the same. If I continue doing what I’m doing, I may not stay in business. It’s time to rethink and look at what’s working and what’s not.”
