Bacall Associates Travel Singapore: How to travel on a (very tight) budget
[quote url="http://www.todayonline.com/lifestyle/how-travel-very-tight-budget" host="www.todayonline.com" title="How to travel on a (very tight) budget" description="SINGAPORE — Isabel Leong is barely 23 years old, and she has already travelled to more than 105 cities in 30 countries — mostly on her own dime.And now, the Singaporean hopes that by sharing her travel tips and experiences, students here, especially those who are cash-strapped, will be motivated to go out and see the world.“(Travelling) opens up their minds about the possibilities of the future. A lot of young people (like me) are lost about their life direction, and going out there and being exposed to different people and their life stories can give them some insight,” Leong said in an interview with TODAY. “There are a lot of soft skills to learn as well, including adaptability, independence, social skills and intercultural knowledge.”Leong started supporting her own travel adventures in 2013, beginning with the usual destinations like Bali and Phuket, and then eventually heading off the beaten path to smaller cities and towns around the world, like Cambodia’s Kampot province and Cantabaco in the Philippines. In 2015, she went on a student exchange programme in Rouen, France, where she began travelling around Europe in earnest. Since 2013, she has been to 64 cities in 16 countries.To fund her exploits, she worked part-time for about four to five hours a week to pay for her own food and transport, and saved whatever she could to fund her travels.“I became financially independent after junior college. There was an eight-month break after I graduated from junior college until school started in university. I took the time to explore different occupations and what I liked. I did everything from admin work to telemarketing to being a camp instructor,” said Leong, who recently graduated from Singapore Management University. She now runs a travel blog on student and budget travel called belaroundtheworld.com, which she set up last year.“That was when I found out the importance of saving up. When I was in university, I also worked as a gym instructor, training clients part-time while juggling my studies.”Leong also became an expert at travelling on a tight budget, spending less than S$7,000 over three months travelling to 15 countries in Europe. She kept a mental meal budget of about S$10 per day whenever she travelled, and stocked up on apples to keep herself from going hungry.Instead of staying at expensive hotels, she also chose to couch-surf, which allowed her to stay with a host for free in exchange for prepacked bak kwa (barbecued pork) or a Singapore magnet. And even though most of her couch-surfing experiences have been positive, one particular incident in France taught her to be more judicious about her choice of hosts.“As a beginner in couch-surfing, I wouldn’t select solo male hosts. There was one time I was in the south of France, in Nice, I couch-surfed with a guy. He expressed designs and it was quite scary. I tried to make up emergency plans in case he went overboard, but luckily I held my (ground) and he didn’t pursue it any further,” she said, adding that the host had started getting “uncomfortably” close to her, and had even offered to let her snuggle with him on his bed.“I was constantly talking to my friends at home — but not my family because they would be worried sick — in case anything happened they would know what happened. It deterred me from couch-surfing, but I still went on after that, mostly with families or couples, though.” Here are Leong’s three other tips for young travellers: BRING YOUR STUDENT CARD“This is one very valuable tip, because museums and even train tickets offer cheaper student ticket deals, especially in Europe. Sometimes you even get to go to museums for free.” DON’T BE OSTENTATIOUS“A lot of students, when they travel, are very worried about whether they would get pickpocketed. What I tell them is to try not to be too ostentatious about their belongings. Keep your bags zipped and don’t wear expensive-looking watches. They also talk about not putting your wallets at the back of your pocket, and that is also true because I have had instances where people were feeling my butt for stuff on a very packed train in Prague.” BE BOLD“If you are thinking about whether to do (something), just go and do it. You are only visiting a place once and you don’t want to leave with regrets. One of the boldest things I have done was to go bungee jumping in Phuket. My friend and I were (hesitant) at first, but we decided, what could we lose? Since then I’ve been (braver) about adventure (travel).”" type="article" thumbnail="http://www.todayonline.com/sites/default/files/styles/og_images_meta_property/public/photos/43_images/28378992.JPG?itok=zvAM4kZP" k="53326aa173"]Bacall Associates Travel - Barge Lady, Magical Mexico and African Safaris
14 July 2016 – The latest members to join the carefully curated UltraVilla collective bring European barges, Mexico, Africa and the Indian Ocean to discerning travellers looking for a handpicked holiday rental. Now with over 50 members, the covetable ‘little black book’ that is UltraVilla covers all corners of the globe with an inspiring collection of villas, lodges, boats, islands, resorts, ski chalets, and very special boutique hotels. For over 30 years it has been Ellen Sack’s goal as the Barge Lady of Barge Lady Cruises to book travellers on “the perfect barge cruise.” Found within the new UltraBoat platform, the cruises carry 4-24 passengers that sail through European canals, primarily in France, Barge Lady Cruises focus on gourmet food and wine, while exploring the countryside and relaxing. A dedicated crew cooks and cleans, pilots the barge, and gives chauffeured tours of local vineyards, châteaux, historic churches, markets and charming Medieval villages. Guests indulge in the food and wine, go on daily excursions, leisureely bicycle, enjoy the scenery, mingle with other guests, and read and relax on the deck. Ellen is known as the barge expert in the travel world and has received many accolades. She was featured in the book “1000 Places to See Before You Die,” and was called the “reigning expert on barge cruising” by Peter Greenberg, Travel Editor of the Today Show. She has been listed as Top Travel Specialist by Conde Nast Traveler magazine numerous times and is a featured expert on the Wendy Perrin WOW list. Anyone Mexico-bound will be inspired by two new members; Catherwood Travels and Quinta Quebrada. Cather wood Travels offers the most singular travel experience in Yucatan, the site of many important ancient Mayan cities. Expeditions are led by experts and local partners, but they also hold the keys to private estates, chic haciendas and extraordinary artistic projects and have unrivalled access to private haciendas and beach villas. Quinta Quebrada, found within the new UltraBoutique platform, is undoubtedly the most extraordinary house in San Miguel de Allende, a colonial-era city in Mexico’s central highlands. This imposing yet charming 16th-century house has 13,864 square feet of living space over three floors, including 11 bedrooms, with beautifully landscaped grounds covering almost one acre. Ideally located a short walk from El Jardín, the main plaza of this beautiful old city, Quinta Quebrada is a true colonial gem and a living museum. The décor imaginatively mixes period colonial Mexican furniture and art with 17th and 18th-century furnishings and decorations from faraway destinations like India, Italy, and Spain. Outdoor space is as inspiring as the interiors, with fabulous courtyards, follies, gardens full of climbing roses, cascading bougainvillea, purple-flowering jacarandas, multiple terraces, and loggias, a 60′ x 40′ pool set between two gardens, a terrace and a loggia with dining and seating areas and a fireplace. One of the most picturesque cities in Mexico, San Mguel de Allende is famous for its baroque Spanish architecture, charming cobblestone streets and vibrant cultural scene. Henrietta Loyd started in the safari business over 25 years ago and her company, cazenove+loyd, is recognised as THE expert on Africa and the Indian Ocean. From a core business of family safaris has grown a network giving cazenove +loyd access to some of the most spectacular private houses and villas in South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana, Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania – often the special retreat of the lodge owner. Whether before or after a safari, taking a private house in South Africa’s Cape, or a beach villa on the coast of Kenya, or on islands like Zanzibar or Lamu just off the East African mainland, has always been a popular option. cazenove+loyd also has access to private houses and beach villas in Mozambique, in the Seychelles, on Mauritius and in Morocco.

[quote url="http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/happy-new-year-gilles-p-looking-back-on-2011/" host="www.gillespetersonworldwide.com" title="Happy New Year // Gilles P looking back on 2011 | Gilles Peterson" description="" type="article" thumbnail="http://brownswoodrecordings.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/new-years-eve-e1325427911745.jpg" k="05c69be1d3"] Not sure if it’s new or old but I just watched this LENNONYC doc on the plane. Really good – Yoko is amazing throughout – a really good insight to a remarkable artist.
So here we are again, as the clock ticks on and a new year kicks in… 2012 should be amazing for us east Londoners as the Olympics are coming! It’s gonna be big – I’m not leaving Hackney in August. I wanna take it all in… even if I never managed to get tickets… and Lord did I try!
I’m playing in Jakarta for NYE – I played here 2 years ago and loved it – and the thought of a few days in the sun was too good to miss, especially after the madness of the last month.
I’m going to announce the shortlist for the Worldwide Awards on Tuesday… by the way, in case you didn’t know – the shortlist is chosen by a panel of ‘esteemed’ music fans who happen to know each other through the Browns wood Forum. We had our annual meeting just before Christmas and spent a few hours discussing the year in music… so it’s not entirely my list, but a well discussed ‘Mercury Prize’ style breakdown. All roads lead to the awards on 21st Jan at Koko – be quick if you want tickets as it’s gonna be sold out within the next few days I’m sure.
2011 has been unforgettable for me. Firstly, and most importantly from a personal point of view, I completed a marathon. Yes I know – completely boring to anyone who doesn’t run, but to me a landmark moment completing in 4 hours 44… and I have to say going past Big Ben in the final straight is up there with the greatest moments of my life (next to drinking Romanee Conti 1961 and the birth of my kids!!). Next stop Tokyo marathon Feb 26 (oh shiiiiit!)
Obviously, I fell back into my DJ being, but at least I managed to do something that got me into shape and also attracted interest to the Steve Reid Foundation which was set up to aid musicians and celebrate the spirit and work of a great master. The Foundation will continue to work alongside the Musicians Benevolent Fund this year. We released a tribute record put together by Nick Woodmansey and his group Emanative – it’s gone down really well – and many thanks also to Kieren Hebden for a great edit and heavy sponsorship of my run!
I want to thank Ayian as well, who has been working closely on how to develop the Foundation – we’re going to broadcast a ‘drumathon’ when the new “Brownswood studio” is completed around April time… watch this space.
Talking of Brownswood, as you may know I moved out of the building in April for a much needed renovation – it was meant to take 4 months but as with most projects like this, its taken 3 times that long! It’s also meant that I’ve been working from boxes this year and haven’t been able to record radio shows and interviews in the same homely comfort as before – so you can imagine how happy I’ll be when the place is ready for a whole new lift off – cannot wait.
This year kicked off with the release of the latest book that I’ve worked on with Stuart Baker from Soul Jazz: Bossa Nova and the rise of Brazilian Music in the 60′s – if you don’t have one already, where have you been! You can get it HERE. We’re currently working on something Latin, taking in Cuba and everything Nuyorican – hopefully something will come out this year. These books are such fun to do and help me reacquaint myself with my record collection.
Cuba has been another regular destination of mine these last couple of years – so it was great to get another chance to develop my relationship with that country and its musicians. For the second volume of the Havana Cultura series which came out in the Autumn I went over with Vince Vella, Simbad and Mala to add some different spices – January recordings with Roberto Fonseca allowed me some time to work on arrangements and go back in April to complete. Mala even played a DMZ set on a night off and true Dubstep (not Skrillex!!) landed in Havana – memorable! Mala’s version of Havana Cultura will come out in the spring – it’ll blow your head off!
We toured the project this autumn too – great shows in Berlin and Istanbul amongst others – and big thanks to the whole band for making it such a laugh – with Fonseca unavailable for the live shows I was a bit worried, but thankfully Roberto Carcasses did his thing and the project took on a whole new vibe. By the way Roberto Fonseca recorded a new album in Paris (which I partly co-produced) and it sounds amazing – great collabs with Mike Ladd and Fatoumata Diawara amongst others.
Label wise we had a good one at Brownswood – well, good considering hardly anyone buys records anymore! Ghostpoet went from strength to strength and even got nominated for a Mercury and the Owiny Sigoma Band delivered a staggering Kenyan/London mash-up – the most memorable show being in Brussels during the early summer – big up to Lefto for pulling out the stops at lightning speed – and doing a great live session with them for his show on Studio Brussels.
Zara McFarlane released her debut album too – I’m so excited about this young lady. Her early recordings had been passed onto me via Simbad and Bopstar and its been so satisfying to release great vocal jazz – I get the same tingles of excitement as when we released Jose James’ music… watch her grow. In fact I’ll be touring with her around the UK in April (Dingwalls vibes) – and she’s already working on album 2…
The comps did well too – Brownswood Bubblers continues to focus on the more soulful end of electronica and the worldwide family collection from Simbad and Lefto began a series focusing on likeminded DJs to celebrate the left side with great artwork by Grems – next up is Kutmah who’ll be out in March. Alex Stevenson followed up his Electr*c series with a brilliant volume 2 and has been busy A+R’ing the forthcoming Gang Colors album which is sounding special and should be out before Easter too – he’s also started releasing some gems on his Earnest Endeavours label and done some great radio on NTS Live which I have to say has been the most played radio station in my kitchen – big ups to Marshmellow and the irrepressible Thristian (aka the BPM) who’s just gone from strength to strength this year with the Boiler Room sessions… big tings agwaaaan! Thanks also to Fawaz and his great support at the label this year – he too started his own imprint – Push & Run – releasing Pedestrian and Ifan Dafydd 12″s – quality stuff.
I released a comp with Ministry Of Sound called Masterpiece which was great fun to do – the interview about the CD with Ross Allen was one of the most well received podcasts of the year – but nothing touched the David Rodigan show – wow – what a response! He was also immense at the Worldwide Festival this year – as was James Blake in the theatre – possibly my music ‘moment’ of the year being in the encore when he performed a monstrous version with Latin ending of CMYK – still need a copy of that! But the live gig of the weekend had to be The Pyramids who came across like a Sun Ra show with added Blues and consciousness… check the podcast HERE.
The Festival as a whole was a huge success – even though it ended with me cracking a rib whilst running across stage and tripping up over a monitor – don’t ask! All that I can tell you is that landing in Laurent Garnier’s lap unable to breath was surreal… it took 3 months before I could sleep normally again. The festival next year will go for a whole week (July 3 til 10) – so be prepared – line-up should be announced soon and yes, we’ll be doing more club nights in the outdoor theatre too – Mala vs Rodigan vs Channel One is more or less confirmed and me vs Moodyman looks like it could happen too.
I really enjoyed gigging this year – did less festivals and more all night long sessions. One of the best events was in Tokyo at the Liquid Room for the annual Worldwide Showcase. The event, organised by Mari Kimura (my Japanese angel!) and the folks at Jwave/Shalala has become one of the highlights of the year. This year was themed around the birthday of John Coltrane and made extra sense following the horrific disaster that struck Japan this year – Masa Sextet, Soil&Pimp Sessions (joined by Robert Glasper on one song) and an incredible tap show from Kazu Kamagai were all unreal and so good to have 1000 people letting off to some spiritual jazz – only in Japan!
Difficult to do lists but super memorable nights included The Mod Club – Toronto / The Block – Tel Aviv / Hot Flush party – Berlin / Air – Tokyo / Lift – LA / Bateau Concorde Atlantique – Paris / Strictly Niceness – Brussels/ Dingwalls – London and as always Rootdown in Freiburg…
You know, the thing about what I do that I love the most still – is playing out – basically I started as a DJ and will end as a DJ!
Thanks to everyone who comes out, dances hard and fills the room with deep positive knowing energy – I love you!
Save-the-DJ record of the year this year was probably the Adele/Jamie xx remix – with strong support from tracks by Julio Bashmore, Lovebirds feat Stee Downwes and anything in Rainer Truby’s box. Jazz wise Austin Peralta, Matthew Hallsall, Greg Foat Group, Bad Bad Not Good, Finn Peters, Richard Spaven, Tigran Hamasyan, Robert Mitchell all delivered.
Tropical wise – Owiny Sigoma Band, DRC Music, Fatoumata Diawara, Bjork and Omar Souleyman, Lucas Santana, Fresh Touch, Mo Kolours, Seun Kuti… too many comps to mention but constant respect to Sofrito, Analog Africa, Soundway, Honest Jon’s and Strut and the brilliant album ‘Oi! A Musica Nova Brasileira on Mais Um Discos’…
Bands and stuff – The Stepkids, The Park, Michael Kiwanuka, The Weeknd, Liz Green, King, Obenewa, Nick Mulvey, Frank Ocean, Tanya Auclair, 2morrow’s Victory…
Maida Vale Sessions one off tracks – Raphael Saadiq ‘The Answer’, Nicolas Jaar’s ‘Ishmael’ should both be released commercially!
So many great albums – Little Dragon, Sbtrkt, Thundercat, Hype Williams, Machinedrum, Shlohmo, Dimlite, James Blake, Africa Hitek, Locussolus, Grey Reverend…
Producers – Addison Groove, Marlow, EVM, Ifan Dafydd, DJ Rum, Gerry Reid, Koreless, Mr Raoul K, Tall Black Guy, Objekt, Stubborn Heart, fLako, Blawan, Onra… the list goes on and on…
I spent many hours in record shops even if there aren’t as many as there used to be – Sounds of the Universe, Kristina, Cosmos, Disc Union, Phonica, SuperFly… please keep doing it guys!
Big up the dealers – here I keep the names to myself as it’s secret information – but you know how you are…
Radio show of the year has to be Loefah on Rinse FM – he does it good and proper – funny with great music – proper Northern vibes too -big up DJ Parrot the original Sheffield soldier – only in the UK! Ross Allen always delivers, Nihal does amazing stuff every week (gonna miss our record swap mate) and Peter Allen on 5live (the master!!)
Download of the year – I still need my weekly fix – has to be Kermode and Mayo’s film reviews – they remain the best double act on radio. Coming in second and rising: Football weekly from The Guardian – yes James Richardson – always on point – and Barry Glendenning an essential bounce off man… Football brain of the year has to go to Philippe Auclair from France football – the man is KNOWLEDGE… and probably enjoys late night chats with Arsene Wenger! Sky pundit has to go to Gary Neville who I used to hate with a vengeance but now can’t get enough of – a bit like spinach…BBC pundit – Lee Dixon – a better pundit than he was a footballer…(and he wasn’t at all bad!)
Music blogs:
Paul Bradshaw’s ‘Ancient to Future’ is essential for all those of you who still miss Straight No Chaser.
Pitchfork – always a good read – first with the Sam Rivers news…
Films of the year – thought it was quite a disappointing year actually – maybe I didn’t see enough films – Melancholia caught me off guard and ‘Drive’ had a killer cast but the best film I saw by miles was ‘Shame’ – the new one from Steve McQueen who did Hunger – I saw it at the BFI London Film festival and, if only for Carey Mulligan’s performance of ‘New York New York’ I can’t believe there’ll a better film to see in 2012…
I’m out of time. Need to get my set ready for tonight at Loewy in Jakarta… what to play at midnight??? The annual dilemma!
To end with thanks so much for all your support on the news of my leaving Radio 1. It was quite breathtaking to see so much reaction to the radio show.
Happy New Year!!

Cheers to my Radio 1 and Jwave producers Alex Kenning, Dave O’Donnell, Lucy Madge, Tom Green and Charis Blyth… and thanks to Francois Renie at Havana Club for his cigar smoke!
BADBADNOTGOOD // BOILER ROOM

Three years ago, while visiting friends in the wine-producing Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France, Timothy McDonald decided he wanted what they had: a chance to experience small-town life in what is sometimes described as an unspoiled and more affordable version of Provence. A year later McDonald home his wife, Kathleen Brooker, took a mortgage on their paid-up Seattle home and plunked down $200,000 in cash for a 15th-century former shop house in the remote agricultural village of Azille (pop. 1,100), 90 minutes from the Toulouse airport. The couple, both in their early 60s, plan to spend several months a year there after she retires someday from her job as executive director of Historic Seattle. (McDonald, a semiretired architectural preservationist, already spends a month at a time there.) While some aging boomers might put a premium on convenience or a place that can accommodate future physical limitations, McDonald and Brooker bought in a town without even a train station and from a contractor whose idea of tasteful renovations included removing the handrail on the narrow staircase of the three-story stone structure. And why not? They’re fit bikers, runners and history buffs who care more about the town’s proximity to Cathar Romanesque sites and enjoying their French, British and Swiss neighbors. “We wanted to have a bigger life, rather than have a bigger home in the U.S., and ironically we found it in a small French town,” says Brooker. Of course, American billionaires and celebrities have always lived large in Europe. Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen reportedly keeps a staff of 12 at his hilltop villa in St. Jean Cap-Ferrat, along the Côte d’Azur. George Clooney‘s 30-room palazzo on Italy’s Lake Como has starred in many A-list parties. What they’re currently finding, says Ronan McMahon, who reports on real estate trends for the International Living website, is that European prices peaked between 2006 and 2008 and are now all over the map. Stratospheric London and Paris prices never fell that much and have headed back up. But an exodus of youth from rural France and Italy has made homes like the one Brooker and McDonald bought somewhat more affordable. But a weaker euro, low interest rates and crashing real estate prices in parts of the euro zone are prompting more ordinary American Europhiles to look at buying a piece of the Old World . Then there are Europe’s real estate bust areas, which unlike, say, Nevada and Florida haven’t started their comebacks. McMahon’s advice for those areas: Wait until prices have fallen dramatically and be prepared to hold for a while. That makes him bullish on Spain and Ireland but bearish on Portugal’s Algarve and the Greek islands of Crete, Mykonos and Santorini, where prices are down only 30% from their peak. By contrast, along the scenic Ring of Kerry, near McMahon’s Adare, County Limerick, Ireland base, $100,000 can get you a country cottage, a newly built modern home or a building plot with views of the Atlantic. All would have fetched $500,000 at the peak. In Spain deal hunters have been scooping up apartments in failed developments from banks selling for one-third of the 2007?08 list price. A two-bedroom, two-bath apartment on the Costa del Sol with distant views (on a clear day) of the ocean less than a mile away can be had for $100,000. Beyond the state of the real estate market, consider how a purchase fits into your overall finances and whether you’re really game for the practical, legal and personal challenges of maintaining a home in another country and possibly retiring there. Visit the area you’re considering multiple times, rent a place (rather than staying in a hotel), shop for food, do laundry and get the full residential experience, good and bad. Ask yourself what you’re looking for: a base for travel or a charming destination? A primary or second home? Or maybe just a vacation place that you’ll also rent out?

European prehistoric art
European Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic architecture, sculpture, painting and craft general. Has ever known, the earliest European art works appear in the front-end of the Upper Paleolithic, dating from about 2.5 to 3 million years ago, the Earth in the Tamaki ice age. This Paleolithic art, disappeared with the end of the Ice Age about 10,000 years BC. Mesolithic art types increased, with the imbalance of regional cultural development, independently developed art traditions, different degrees of evolution for the Neolithic art..Their performance begin with animal-based, realistic tactics and vivid. One of the most prominent representatives of the Lascaux caves in France and Spain's Altamira cave paintings. The Lascaux cave animals image momentum majestic, full of dynamic, full of rough original flavor and vitality of the wild. Altamira cave painting "wounded bison, depicts the bison injured after huddled struggle, accurate and powerful performance of the structure and dynamics of the animal. oil paintingportrait paintinganimals paintinglandscapes paintingdecorate paintingPaleolithic Art before the Upper Paleolithic, although the lack of evidence of human image imitation performance, but a practical tool for making and improved, has been shown in many aesthetic factors. Such as the hand ax geometric shape, sense of symmetry, edge small modification and nicks, not primary decorative value, and manufacturing tools to prepare for the creation of works of art modeling techniques. Upper Paleolithic traditionally divided into four main cultural:①Aurignacian culture, cultural②Perigord,③Solutrean culture,④Magdalenian culture. Aurignacian culture is named after the Aurignacian caves in France on the Garonne. Named after France's Perigord Perigord culture, they synthesized the early stages of development of Paleolithic art, female figurines found near Velen the Dov cultural layer in Mordovia, is called " Velen Dov Wiener year carved piece of bone, stone, can be found in the hole on the mural corresponding style the famous caves Lascaux is the most important representatives of this stage. Solutrean culture was named after France Thorne - Loire Solutrean, Magdalenian culture takes its name from the French Dordogne Magdalenian hole, they constitute a late stage of Paleolithic art, the typical Altamira Cave in Spain. The Paleolithic art creators Cro-Magnon people, they belong to the Homo sapiens stage with modern constitution (in particular, the capacity of the brain) undifferentiated. When the ice cover of the European continent, many prairie animals concentrated in the south of France and northern Spain, such as the long-haired rhinoceros, mammoths and reindeer, France - Cantabrian even as the center, Cro-Magnon hunting The people live in a natural cave, and accumulation of skills, experience and knowledge in the long-term struggle for production, and strengthen people's understanding of themselves and their living environment, the development of the spiritual and cultural, painting on the cave, as a tool to add decorative carving. This artistic activities spread to vast areas of the formation of the different local differences in style, but as a whole, their significance and style is unified. Some graphics clearly done by one hand, these cave-drawn graphics are made by a small number of specialized (sorcerers).portrait paintinglandscapes paintingdecorate painting Paleolithic cave art creation process is complete, first discovered some of the paintings in the finger marks on the wall, may imitate bear claw marks left from these 指痕gradually appear simple, local animal images. Early animal hook only the rough outline shape gradually precise tactics increasingly rich; draw a rich sense of volume to Magdalenian culture period with a variety of color, perspective and accurate large animals, vivid gesture. Often rely on rock walls natural of subcarinal gap as modeling foundation. Hole in through the light irradiation, or The uneven stone looks very much like the hole of Home Ownership in the hole depths swaying the fire in daily contact with the animal images. This psychological projection played a certain role in the formation process of the cave art.portrait paintingPaleolithic art, is generally regarded as a hunting witchcraft, drawings or sculpture to achieve the purpose of the to control hunting objects or proliferation of animal resources. Spears and bows and arrows in the era of the Cro-Magnon people, equipped with wooden handle, from the early Paleolithic budding sorcery, as the production of a "concept", then quite complete. Can clearly see that in many cave paintings, unfinished, held a ceremony traces spear kill shot. Some animals engraved arrow bunch spearhead or trap. Many animals are concentrated draw on a particular wall, probably think that these wall magic, a variety of image often overlap with each other, may them like a real animal, once a "kill" you have to re-draw. In the same period of Pets moving appliances arts, also found a similar treatment. Some animals and the image of the painting in the vicinity of the porosity of the rock wall on behalf of Mother Earth genital, which is to promote them birth, regeneration and hyperplasia. Hole area ofdaily life of the people living in the hole to the Ministry of the painting and sculpture often draw deep in the cave means hunting witchcraft ceremony itself is in the land of his mother's womb. Pursuit of realism in these paintings, in order to improve the inductive effects of witchcraft.oil paintingportrait paintinganimals paintinglandscapes paintingPaleolithic art themes mainly animal figures accounted for a considerable proportion, the the plants image of only a few to a few cases, there handprints and geometric patterns. European bison, wild horses, wild sheep, mammoths, rhinos, deer and some carnivorous animal animals reindeer in the account for a great proportion of the people at that time of life, its horn, bone, skin, flesh and blood are widely take advantage of, but portrayed not by much, probably because the reindeer and warm, clumsy body, easy to kill, the number of the addition, without the aid of witchcraft sake. Similarly, plant production (wooden tools people) And the important dependent objects in life (floral and leaf pulp), but almost did not add portrayed. Characters portrayed often mask covering her face, or personal first beast, this inference when people own image depicting special forbidden. Some may be true portrayal of the shaman practices, some the sorcerer painting in animal concentration in order to reflect the strong control force. Character in the given circumstances as the image of being hurt, and some who inserted more characters (especially in the the art apparatus) is created as the proliferation of racial idol image predominantly female.Paleolithic art distribution range is relatively concentrated, as the center of the cave art in France - Cantabrian even. Southern Spain, the south of the Italian peninsula and Sicily also found that some of the murals of the caves, the earliest cave paintings found in the Ural region of the Soviet Union. Appliances art distribution range is much broader, have been found in parts of Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Soviet Union. Appliances art and cave art time and the same style, the Cro-Magnon people in these areas may safari can not find a suitable cave painting or paintings on the rock not been handed down, only appliances arts. Appliances art portable, but also conducive to their spread.oil paintingportrait paintinganimals paintinglandscapes paintingdecorate paintingMesolithic Art after 10,000 years BC. With the end of the Ice Age, the climate gets warmer, land animals and plants have experienced changes affect human life, human culture has changed to adapt to the new environment, resulting in a new form of artistic expression, produced murals, carved chisel, small sculpture. The animal moved north, mainly to depict animals Paleolithic cave art and appliances arts tradition disappeared, replaced by a weak art.portrait paintingMesolithic Art can be divided into three regions. A region is a prosperous region of southern France, northern Spain Paleolithic cave art, the said A Qili culture, leaving little works, its works represent some pebbles on red or black color painting dots and lines, This is Paleolithic Magdalenian geometry during the continuation of the style, but the specific use is unknown.The two regions are the Nordic, mainly rock art. In the open-air cliff boulder painted or carved art works and activities (works portray stones or other materials can be moved). Paleolithic carving found some areas may be created by glaciers during the warm phase safari this crowd, some Stone Age people follow grassland animals moved north to the Nordic. France Ahrensburg found small carved wood patterned portrait, and the southern part of the Rhine and Germany Magdalenian the late cultural and E Qili culture thriving stylized works similarities, about 6000 BC year, there are some semi-realistic drawings carved bone stick.oil paintingoil painting reproductions In Scandinavia, especially Norway, there has been a vivid realism carving deep Paleolithic the southwest Europe cave art legacy (in 6000 BC to 5000 years before), is the first of the Nordic prehistoric art Phase 1. Later, about 3000 BC, and gradually replaced by a semi-realistic style of painting beast, fish and figures, the shape is more rigid, often depicts animal offal. Using carve concave lines and then fill online techniques, belong to the second stage. Phase 3 began around 2000 BC, is highly simplified program people and animals, the development of this style to the northern part of the Soviet Union and Siberia. These creative people hunting witchcraft. They also found that some of the unexplained symbol is likely to be the initial text. Three regions Levant, eastern Spain. Therefore, the fine arts, also known as the Levant Art. The region after the end of the Ice Age, the living environment has undergone great changes. Flow in open-air rock and cave murals, his mother questions and manifestations are very different from the former. Character-based themes, but not simply performance, which reflects the people's production and labor and social life, such as hunting, mining, sacrifice, execution and life in rural scene. Animal images on the screen still accounts for a large proportion, between the animal and the animal, as well as contact. The size of the image is generally in the range of 15 to 20 cm, the smallest less than 2 cm, a handful of Paleolithic cave paintings on animal. Using a monochrome flat coated image of people and animals, color uniformity, the pigment is hematite, kaolin, tune resin. Hook line shape, lines skilled. Levant rock paintings are painted in the ceremonies in the "Holy Land". These "Holy Land" has been extended to use the Roman era.Often choose specialized rock wall repeatedly drawn several different periods, different content paintings stacked. The earliest the Levant special witchcraft concepts Mural power. Levantine rock art is merely a reproduction of life of the people, or to commemorate the war or major events.The art on the basis of the Paleolithic Levant produced a huge leap forward, not only reflects the complex psychological connotations, more focused on the composition process, and was already evident in the pursuit of the aesthetic aspects of the screen. oil paintingportrait paintinganimals paintinglandscapes paintingdecorate painting Neolithic art in the north of the Alps, the prevalence of a huge stone to build a building, its wall geometric decoration, this art is called megalithic culture, is one of the human type of prehistoric culture created in are distributed in many parts of the world. European megalithic culture in the Neolithic, it without mortar adhesive, entirely with stones Leiqi. This stone building generally divided into 4 types: stone circles, stone pillars, megalithic tomb and temple (1) stone circles.

Relatively complete building is constructed with stones, which enshrines statues. Island of Malta's megalithic temple is the most representative. The megalithic culture also includes the small carved statues of the the giant stone portrait the same period, and the megalithic temple. The former more than the original shape of the stone a little chiseled from the odd shape; latter mostly female body image, emphasizing reproductive organs, is held reproductive worship worship idols. Its style and Neolithic rock art in common.oil paintingportrait paintinganimals paintinglandscapes paintingNeolithic rock art in Europe, completely out of the realist tradition in Paleolithic cave art and appliances arts, has foreshadowed the situation in the Middle Stone Age. European prehistoric art development to the Neolithic dominant trend is gradually stylized nutshell, symbolized in the Nordic prehistoric art can see the evolution of this process gradually. The prevalence of the realistic style of the Levant region, but also has to coexist symbolic artistic tendencies, this tendency may be originated in the Eastern Mediterranean, and later extended to the Iberian Peninsula.Concentrated in the south and southwest of Spain, many geometric and stylized graphics cliffs and caves. Portugal, northern Spain, have also been found, also unearthed a statue, chiseled stone tools and pottery with patterns.www.oilpaintingproducer.comOptical effects

魔都男吊丝实用置装指南 (原创,正在赶写网购篇...) 2012-11-04 18:51:03 作为一位根红苗正的服装从业者, 经常被朋友请教该去哪里买衣服, 什么面料穿着舒服, 什么牌子好, 有时相同的问题解释很多遍, 觉得很有必要把一些常见问题做个汇总, 尽量用浅显易懂的语言, 给沪上男吊丝们科普下关于服装的秘密, 尽量把有限的钱花在刀刃上. 前言: 1) 楼主主要混上海淮海路商圈, 故本文商品信息多以此为参照, 辐射及惠及人群以沪上男吊丝为主, 全国其他地区, 由于商品价格及品类可能略有出入, 仅供参考; 2) 关于一些专有名词及英文词汇, 楼主尽可能换成通俗说法及中文词汇.最大程度让大家明了; 3) 楼主不是托, 怀疑楼主收钱写软文的可以歇菜了; 4) 本文服务对象为一般民众.主要是工薪职场人士及少量大学生. 过于成熟,幼齿或富二代不在我关注范围.另外, 以下人士请自觉点右上方的叉: 服装业者喜欢剧透吐槽的; 高贵冷艳啥也看不上的;一知半解喜欢瞎掰掰捣浆糊的. 5) 最后一点, 楼主思维比较发散, 想到哪写到哪, 天马行空, 望大家海涵. 本文主要分为以下几部分: 几大高街服装品牌性价比; 热风能淘到什么; 凡客的算盘; 关于面料你所不知道的; 服装的成本与价格; 关于服饰的一些八卦; 一. 几大高街服装品牌性价比. 上海大众零售商圈的黄金地段, 基本都由几个著名高街品牌占据, ZARA, H&M, C&A, UNIQLO, 第二梯队GAP. M&S 等等. 由于大众服饰零售行业, 倚靠渠道作用非常大,加上宣传轰炸, 但凡想到买衣服, 人们头脑里第一反应有可能就是这些品牌. 但这些舶来品牌也有自家最擅长的领域, 现在就让我来为大家罗列一下它们各自最大优势及卖点: ZARA, 这是个很难让人忽略的品牌, 也是跟流行最紧的品牌, 论款式的时髦度, 它应该是这几个高街品牌排名最高的. 14天从设计到上柜的超快上货速度, 注定在它店里一定找得到当季最hot的流行面料和款式. 每年央视的质量调查报告黑名单上总少不了它家, ZARA衣服掉色,甲醛, 做工差巴拉巴拉的质量投诉也都是真的, 原因是什么呢? 越花哨,越特别的面料越难通过质量检测, 加上它家做东西太赶, 货期高于一切, 质量什么的, 有时真的有点看不过去. 如果你只钟意款式, 那么你找对了. 当然,它家价格也是偏高的. 如果真让我推荐它家什么品类好买, 还真是.....很难!衣服还是很时髦的,不打折的话价格小贵.(写到这里,我仿佛看到显示器那头高帅富翻的白眼~)就像我原来转送EX的那件ZARA衬衣,上海专卖店卖399,小贵但也买了.但在香港是349港币阿,一模一样啊!还是港币不是人民币阿!老资好恨啊!但最后那件衬衣分手后被EX扔了~ 你分手了不穿还给我也好啊!扔衣服出什么气? 摔! 所以,买它家衣服最好还是等打折,或者看好后在某宝上找港代.(富二代收起乃们的白眼) 399的衣服偶尔吊丝们心情好还可直接拿下, 但它们店里动不动 699, 799的皮鞋真是让人很生气啊!!!!! 它们家的鞋子就是: 把布鞋按皮鞋的价格卖, 把皮鞋按靴子的价格卖, 把靴子的价格~ 噢, 拿着买靴子的钱可以直接冲进国美换个冰箱了~ H&M, 当年淮海中路那家店开业首日潮人大排长龙, 一天两百万的销售额还历历在目, 真是个神话. 它家, 以前基本款的踢恤曾经是我的最爱,可是后来价格一上去, 性价比就消失了. 它家衣服论时髦度不及ZARA, 论基本款的选择面及做工不及UNIQLO, 但它家也是走时尚路线, 每季该有的流行元素都有, 价格比ZARA便宜一个档. 它家每年跟奢侈品牌合作款系列还是值得一看的, 有的不乏亮点. 例如,今年H&M与MARNI合作系列, 其中有一套,是用同一种面料分别制作的西装上衣,长裤, 短裤, 原价分别大概1699, 599,399的,版型好,面料有质感,细节耐看有MARNI的味道,就连裤子里面每条接缝都是包边的。当时吊丝我两眼放光阿,看到价格克制了一下没立即出手。由于那段时间锻炼身体,每天有氧步行从人民广场到陕西南路, 每次路过它家都不甘心地进去兜一圈, 某天欣喜地发现这个系列打折了, 感谢不懂货的挫人们啊, 让它们全码库存了, 让它们还没到年底就价格腰斩了, 楼主我类牛满面把这三样都搬回家, 加起来不到一千块, 感动得想哭啊! 当然, 合作系列也有不值得入手的, 例如,今年炒得火热的H&M与David Beckham 合作的内衣裤系列, 我仔细 看了, 确实就是些老头款, 基本百搭, 亮点没有, 如果你只是觉得多个明星名字比较吊, 那我也无话可说(楼主觉得小贝前几年还是很帅的, 现在浑身纹身得没一块干净的,真无感! 而且没有腰阿,总之觉得残了~)简而言之, 这个系列价格水分太大, 成本流进明星口袋, 却让消费者买单. C&A, 这就是个鸡肋, 价格比刚刚那两个牌子还要再便宜一丢丢, 质量也真是烂得可以, 款式我也懒得去吐槽了. 贪便宜,想随便买一件不贵的衣服套身上就走的可以选择它家. 每次楼主我猥琐地抱着试试看能不能淘件高性价比便宜货的心态进去逛一大圈, 最后结局总是两手空空出来. 搜刮一下记忆, 印象清晰的仅是某年过年前曾在它家买了件应景的红毛衣, 还是百分百晴纶的…… 楼上是麻辣诱惑, 看到那个电梯旁的招牌, 默默总觉得它家衣服有股花椒味.好吧!我错了~ UNIQLO(反日的可以歇歇,楼主只谈衣服,不要来叫嚣),这是个不可忽视的牌子,它的老板是日本首富.至少证明人家在商业经营上还是有两把刷子的.它家的诉求是基本款,强调衣服的实穿性和可搭配性. 它家最有名的单品大概就是摇粒绒的外套和超薄羽绒服了.这两样拳头产品怎么解释呢?据说在日本,每3个日本人就有一件它家的摇粒绒外套;超薄羽绒服它家最先推出的,热卖了好几季,我记得以前是卖499,热销到去年ZARA都推出了一款几乎一样的同类产品,卖399,明显是冲它来的,火药味十足,热卖到连行业大鳄ZARA都眼红,可见这款有多受欢迎.这两样单品确实很实穿,在乍暖还寒或春秋温差大,不知道穿什么的时候,他们是不用动脑的好搭配,值得入手,况且,它家还算有进取心,每年这两样旧瓶装新酒,翻好多花色和款式微调,给人们更多选择.今年我看到超薄羽绒服推出了长款。 关于摇粒绒,其实并不是羊绒什么,它是化纤,理论上是不透气的,面料这些好坏,我后面再说. 它家还有几样不错的,其中之一是内裤。主要是面料舒服,价格还OK,碰上运气好打折,99元3条平角内裤,秒杀ZARA和H&M. 试想想,在网上买条城乡结合部做出来的杂牌内裤都要20多30呢,加上运费,其实价格差不多,何况人家大品牌至少用料跟做工都让人放心 忘了说一句,在这些高街服装品牌中,UNIQLO的做工是最好最稳定的.这一点不用置疑。 UNIQLO家的UT也是它的标志之一, 每年夏天跟许多插画师合作, 选择众多,五颜六色, 大概卖79元左右,好多人喜欢。吊丝们可以自由选择, 但楼主有楼主的想法,是断然不会买的, 原因是-----撞衫几率太尼玛高了啊!!! 穿它们家踢恤走大街上,要时刻提心吊胆不要跟对面的撞衫阿,作为一个服装人,这实在让人不能忍受阿! 男装法兰绒衬衫最近在促销, 299元自由组合买2件。这性价比已经非常非常高了,再挑剔商家就要喝西北风了,乃们这些吊丝不要把人逼死啊~ 见好就要收阿! 我刚才说的那打折期间99元三条的内裤是值得消费者入手的,但是对于商家来说就是利润薄的,但它家当然有利润高的商品,那是什么呢? 让我来告诉你:日本是个弹丸小国,资源贫乏,石油需要进口,在这个需要把石油精细加工,变成高附加值商品的进程中,它的化纤开发加工领域是非常强的,你在它家内衣内裤区经常会看到一些四角内裤短袖什么标有排汗恒温透气几倍的那些卖点,价格卖得比隔壁全棉同类产品贵个三分之一或一半,对了,它们都是化纤的,它们跟塑料袋从源头上其实是亲戚.不是说它们不好,他们经过一些特性的研究和配比,穿起来可能比原始状态的化纤优势多了很多,但附加值,也就是价格也大幅飙升了.这是商家的高利润点.吊丝们可以默默绕过它们. 其他第二梯队的一些品牌,楼主看得不多,也就不一一介绍了,不过楼主所在的健身房就在玛莎百货旁边,M&S也逛过几回,里面人不是很多,衣服嘛,中规中矩,特点不是很鲜明,价格也还好,不过深深觉得它家女装比男装好看,男装太敷衍了,打折期间可能衬衣还不到200,还是可以搞一下的.它家食品比衣服好,不管包装还是内容都很小资,送人不丢人,自己用也蛮装逼的.好吧,这扯远了!收~ 二. Hotwind(热风)能淘到什么. Hotwind(热风),上海的吊丝们应该无人不知这个牌子吧?楼主家乡武汉,现在也有好几家它的店了,江浙周边应该更多. 这个牌子,N年前不是这样的,它家装修是这2年才换成现在这样统一白色调,整齐划一陈列架的,以前是到处收购工厂外贸尾单跟单,把人家品牌LOGO剪掉或遮住,换成Hotwind那个咖啡色风车胶印的,有的它家街边店当初还会在玻璃橱窗上用透明胶贴一张告示"欢迎提供外贸尾单货源"什么巴拉巴拉的~ 当时的店装修走原生态的路线,亲切可爱,烂木头门的试衣间,内衣帽子放筐里卖,还有相当一部分专业的登山防风装备服装,当时楼主像老鼠掉进米缸里, 淘得很开心啊,经常会以特别实惠的价格淘到一些好货.....楼主家现在还有几件以前在它家淘到的经典宝贝,全都是那个时候的.那真是个美好的年代!!(切,不就是几年前吗!) 为什么楼主要花这么多笔墨来形容它家以前是怎样的呢?是因为,现在它家已经转型了,想淘性价比高的外贸货的吊丝们,你们现在基本可以死了这条心了.现在它家店越开越多,那一点外贸尾单早不够它卖了,店一多,渠道强势,它家就开始抛弃外贸尾单货源,自己设计款式自己做了,结果东西越来越平庸没看头,那点淘宝的乐趣一去不复返. 它家外地的生意是鞋子卖得比衣服好,有的店成为鞋子专卖店,鞋子嘛,399什么,还是可以承受的,现在它家性价比最高的,大概就是夏天卖59块的软木底凉拖了吧(其实这个鞋严格来说是侵权的,楼主真不想说~) 港汇广场它多年前能进得去,楼主已经觉得相当奇葩了,今年无限度广场把无印良品赶走,把热风请进去开在对面,楼主顿时心如死灰阿!!这惨淡的木有节操的世界.....让我说些什么好呢? 三. 凡客的算盘. 其实我并没有资格对凡客说太多, 因为到目前为止,我并没有买过它家的一件衣服。 但我可以给大家简单讲一下这个公司历史,现状,以及值得吊丝买的优势品类。 凡客这个公司是2007年创始的,一开始, 它的模式完全照搬当时很火的PPG,赚了点钱后碰巧金融危机来临, 就转型投放网络广告,由于里面的几个元老以前是卓越网的, 在互联网领域熟门熟路,所以很快,凡客在网上火起来~ 比如大家熟知的凡客体什么。 凡客也有比较乱的时候:去年无数的资本都在砸电子商务,竞争者增多,同时凡客的资金开始紧张,拖欠很多供应商的货款。品类扩张也已经开始庞大,不仅丝袜、面膜、家纺,甚至拖把、小家电不相关的东西都开始卖,乱象丛生.质量跟管理开始失控.甚至很多人一度以为它是不是要倒闭了~ 但今年凡客开始痛定思痛,从内部开始整顿, 把优势品类集中到当时发家的踢恤和帆布鞋等服饰上来.提高生产管理和质量控制,产品质量开始比之前稳定起来. 从产地来说,凡客都是找代工厂贴牌生产的,为凡客生产服装的代工厂国内总共有四五百家,另外还有少量放在其他亚洲劳动力廉价的国家代工.其中国内最大的代工厂是宁波的SZ集团(缩写避嫌),这家代工厂也确实同时为知名服装品牌如NIKE、PUMA、优衣库等代工,凡客的很多踢恤、POLO衫、卫衣等都是在这里生产。 凡客和优衣库、PUMA等质量差异主要在面料跟设计上,具体在工艺标准上,凡客和优衣库差异并不是太大.(针对现在这个阶段) 告诉各位吊丝们,凡客卖29元的踢恤总体上是不赚钱的。虽然光从成产成本上看,一件踢恤的成本这个价格能做下来,并且还能略有盈余. 但如果后期再加上物流阿,公司经营平摊各项费用这些隐性成本,这个价格是微微亏钱的! 它家打的算盘是:用招牌的踢恤跟帆布鞋把大量消费者吸引过来,然后吸引他们多买其他利润高的商品,就像超市里卖便宜鸡蛋一个道理~ 想想就能明白,我就不多说了! 所以,吊丝们完全可以只去它网站买29元的踢恤跟便宜帆布鞋,其他商品吹得再天花乱坠你都不要动心,这样你就能牢牢守住你的钱包了! (陈年请不要打我~) PS: 其实它家也挺可怜的,融资了一轮又一轮, 到现在为止还没有实现盈利! 四. 关于面料你所不知道的. 很多人不懂面料,买衣服只看看颜色款式喜不喜欢,感觉还可以就买了.这其实也不错~但如果你不具备一点点面料知识,很有可能在消费的时候跟着商家亦步亦趋,掉进消费的陷阱里;对于服装的穿着舒适性及后续的洗涤保养来说,了解一点面料知识也是必要的. 简单来说,面料分为天然纤维,化学纤维,以及再生纤维素纤维.后者有时会跟化学纤维合并成一个品类。 天然纤维:棉,毛,丝,麻 优点不一一说了,天然纤维亲肤性, 吸湿透气性都比化纤好,但各自缺点我讲一下 棉:洗涤后容易变形,踢恤领子洗过后的样子...你们懂的!全棉的袜子其实最容易前面破个洞,强度不够; 毛:容易被虫蛀,毛衣什么放个冬天拿出来一看无缘无故破个洞,那是虫虫特攻队的杰作.全毛也容易变形,起球什么我就不说了; 丝:这玩艺娇贵阿,晒一晒掉色,脏了也是个麻烦,手糙还特容易勾丝,这不能搞那不能搞的,就是养个爷供在家里阿; 麻:最大缺点就是容易皱,笔挺一件衣服,一天坐下来,公交地铁挤一下,回家就是块抹布~ 换介绍化学纤维了,种类很多, 我挑重点说一下, 不然这文章太长没人看了. 涤纶:它应用最多,甚至可以深加工到仿棉仿毛的手感.上文说的优衣库的摇粒绒外套,就是涤纶的,它优点很多,比如洗了基本不会变形,强度高,随便怎么蹂躏..但是化纤毕竟是化纤,缺点是不透气,而且易燃.记得,如果万一发生火灾,最好要把身上的涤纶衣服脱下来或打湿,不然烧起来了就是一团火球阿,烧着了会跟你皮肤黏成一片,撕都撕不下来!!原因是什么呢?它的妈妈是石油阿!!!它的兄弟姐妹是塑料袋,脸盘,水桶,珍珠奶茶里面的珍珠,粉丝里面的嚼劲啊 ...(用木薯粉做珍珠的,用米跟豆子做粉丝的不要打我!) 另外再提示一下,现在很多衣服成分不写涤纶,写聚酯纤维,其实就是涤纶,不是听着洋气好听么~ 晴纶:不说了.做便宜毛衣一般喜欢加这个代替羊毛手感,但不透气,穿着难过.晴纶羊毛混纺 的会好点; 锦纶:这个是所有化纤里面强度最强的,是做飞机轮胎的,有些衣服棉跟锦纶混纺,主要做外套面料; 氨纶:也就是莱卡,一个是成分一个是商品名,一般用于在内衣或针织衫里混纺,3%到8%最多,增加弹性和舒适度; 再生纤维素纤维,基本就粘胶,莫代尔什么的,说是树皮里什么提炼出来的.手感什么挺舒服的,莫代尔做内衣裤比较多,现在也开始有混纺在踢恤里. 综合一点:现在服装面料混纺的其实不错,棉跟涤纶混纺,羊毛跟丝跟少量化纤混纺等等,天然纤维跟化学纤维混纺,可以把相互的物理优势取长补短,所以不用纠结衣服是不是全棉全毛什么.洗的时候注意一点,化纤的扔洗衣机没事,贵重的料子最好手洗或干洗(其实服装干洗这行水也很深),丝的跟容易掉色的衣服要阴干,不能晒~ 五. 服装的成本和价格 总有些人觉得服装行业是暴利,一进商场都很少看到低于一千的衣服,这是为什么呢? 服装的成本主要是面料成本和工厂加工成本,这2样的总合就是一件衣服的原始成本.一家服装公司,代理商一般3点5到4折拿货,假使一件衣服成本100块,拿货价格就是350块, 这件衣服要在商场里零售价1000块卖给消费者,卖完后商场扣30个点,也就是拿走1000块中的300块,这剩下的700块减去拿货成本350块, 剩下的350块就是代理商的毛利,但这毛利还要减去营业员的工资,水电,各项杂费,商场打折还要强迫你参加, 最后一件衣服代理商能赚的,大概也就是个一两折的纯利,也就是一两百块;而品牌这边,成本100块的衣服,卖给代理商350块,看起来是赚了250块,但租写字楼不是钱?设计师,销售,前台,公司这么多人,商品流通,品牌宣传这些不是钱? 都是从这250块里面花掉的, 所以,品牌纯赚的严格说也不多.所以以后,也不要再一直骂品牌黑心,衣服卖这么贵,其实最大头让商场拿走了,价格只能虚标越来越高. 其实这里面还涉及一个倍率问题,楼主不想说太详细了,普通人了解那么多没用,只要了解衣服价格大概是这个组成就够了.餐馆里一个水煮鱼100块,你只是不忿菜场里那鱼10块钱不到一条,这是没有意义的. 之前说的那些高街品牌, 零售价的构成不适用于上面这个体系,它倍率比较低,也不是代理商订货模式,所以价格水分没有商场里那些品牌多。 所以比较一下大商场里那些坑爹价格的假洋鬼子品牌,楼主宁愿裸奔或者选择优衣库. 六. 关于服饰的一些八卦 1) 除开恒隆,国金,大部分商场里男装区一串串洋文的牌子,很多都是国内做的假洋鬼子牌子. (恒隆里面有的牌子也有是温州福建老板,我能乱说么~) 2) 选购皮带,一定要真皮. 要选择偏软的,太硬了用起来不舒服;最好不要太宽,因为有的裤子裤袢设计得就不宽,皮带宽了不容易塞进去.真皮弯曲折叠一下皱纹不会都一样,如果实在不会鉴别,正规商场或专卖店的标签应该不会骗人,因为国家管这个很严,他们不敢乱标.PU或人造革大家都能知道,有种皮糠纸的东西很差,是把碎皮打碎了填充在皮带里面,鉴别方法是从皮带打孔的剖面里面望一下,里面一层一层结构像三明治的你就不要买了; 3) PRADA,LV什么的你以为它们家几万一个的手袋都是真皮的么?NONONO,只有一部分是,有的是专利的PU,说白了不是皮,几万块买个石油的副产品,值得么?不过人家卖的是品牌附加值,辅料什么也用的高级货,据说PRADA包外面的拉链用的都是RIRI的,一两百块一条呢,比YKK好在哪里?这...我真不好说; 4) 不要以为奢侈品都是真金不怕火炼. 记得以前"上海壹周"做过个调查,PRADA仙女手绘包沾水掉色,8000块一条的杰尼亚裤子穿了一天开线,Vertu手机性能差,名牌包坏了难得修,其实这些都是真的.所以, 衣服它就是件衣服, 包包它就是个包包, 就像你花10块钱社区剪个头,跟在高级发廊花800块剪个头, 不同的是心理愉悦跟体验感, 2个礼拜后还能多有型? 买了就买了, 用着就用着, 该坏照样坏, 别把它太当回事了; 5) 那些高街品牌每年会有2次大力度的打折季,分别是在每年的7,8月份和年底。这2次打折力度会很大,主要是为了清库存,品类多,时间是固定的.另外有时会小范围阶段性,或针对某些刚上市销售反馈不是很好的系列打折,这是没有固定时间的,惟有多逛,碰运气了! 6) 有的休闲品牌会举行针对内部员工或者写字楼范围的特卖会。这些特卖会一般不会对外进行很大的宣传,仅仅针对内部员工的口耳相传或小范围通知,这些特卖会可以自己买,也可以带亲戚朋友来买,折扣力度很大,有时是1到3折,但有可能是去年前年的库存. 楼主见过美特斯邦威工厂店盛况空前的特卖会疯狂景象,成百上千人赶到上海郊外的美邦仓库,大门一开,潮水般涌入,男女装分开两边,一排排挂服装的架子顿时东倒西歪一片狼藉,人们从开始还挑挑拣拣到最后完全疯狂,见到衣服包包就抢的程度。有的根本就是黄牛,拿到货了直接再去网上倒卖。一个包包打完折扣才40几块,衣服也都很便宜。不过这需要你有些人脉资源,如果认识在服装品牌里工作的朋友同学什么,时刻让他们留意帮打听吧~这可省了好大一笔! 7) 品牌服装内买的折扣。 凡是在品牌服装公司上班的员工都会享受到以内部员工价购买本品牌服装的福利优惠, 但这个折扣程度是根据每个公司的政策不同的,大部分是5折左右,也有4折的,强势品牌或涉外品牌可能只区区7折的员工内买折扣。如果你有同学朋友在你喜欢的品牌里工作, 关系好的话,去商场试好你喜欢衣服的尺码, 记好吊牌上的产品货号,就可以向朋友问内买了。但是每个公司都有限制的, 比如每个员工每个月最多只能内买几件衣服~ 虽然问朋友内买衣服省了差不多一半的钱, 但礼尚往来,别人帮了你忙,请人家吃个饭总需要的吧! 这一加一减,怎样划算又不失礼,其中的帐要自己拎拎清的。 8) 奢侈品的产地问题。很多中国消费者买奢侈品很在意它的产地问题,花个几千上万块卖个衣服包包, 潜意识里觉得一定不能是Made In China啊,不然不上档次,哪对得起那白花花的钞票~ 这个问题其实挺多余,世界上那么些奢侈品牌,完全不是中国制造的真是凤毛麟角了,只是或明或暗而已。那些 made in Italy或made in France的包包鞋子衣服大多在中国完成工序的百分之九十几,辗转回意大利装个拉链头,再千里迢迢运到中国来卖个高价。有些品牌诚实,如Emporio Armani会在产品的产地上明白标示来自意大利,塞尔维亚,还是中国深圳;但有的打死不承认;有的被动承认,比如去年在香港上市的prada, 招股书上不得不清清楚楚写上它家那些美伦美奂的高跟鞋大部分都来自深圳华侨城某工业园几楼车间, 真是脸上有点挂不住阿! (楼主谢谢大家的支持!,预告一下, 最近还会增加关于服装网购, 定制等等的内容, 敬请期待) (感谢豆瓣TV, 感谢CCTV, 感谢MTV, 感谢AV, GV, LV, 居然上豆瓣首页了,顺便打个小广告征个男友阿! 楼主搅基的,盘正条顺,是肌肉攻. 喜欢高个帅哥受,180到190都OK~ 年龄23到30, 喜欢浓眉大眼高鼻梁, 气质干净青涩,有礼貌,不C, 坐标魔都, 欢迎符合条件的帅哥前来应征阿!!!! 豆娘我爱你!!!!)

Wrote talk about the sketch emotional - painting teaching Abstract: sketching as painting a basic curriculum, teachers have a considerable degree of attention. Sketch performance to solve some problems, has a direct impact on the development of the students after painting, is unquestionable. Is generally believed that the performance of sketches is to observe and analyze, feel and understand. To really understand and feel the meaning of which may be an arduous process of "boring". So, it is not a method (or called) sketch becomes a little lighthearted it? Certainly some of that is - "sketch emotional. Keywords: emotional state of mind objects blend of dynamic force inspiration Sketch emotional color emotion is conferred (will not go into here), is a concrete manifestation of human emotional mental state, things I blend an aesthetic state sketch learning dynamic forces; is inspired thinking activity prerequisite. A sketch emotional manifestation of emotional mental state "The art master the way of the world can be understood as the human soul care of the way of the world as a whole, but also of human artistic production. We can be seen from this passage: subjective psychological factors play a leading role in the art of "production". "The whole process of artistic production, emotional intention has always been the most active elements indispensable." Performance with emotional intention sketch the performance of the whole process should be the dominant form. Although the basic sketch of training, we can not too much emphasis subjective intention of thing, but, the emotion out of the subjective instinct, face painting objects are impossible to ignore, have seen will want some presumably have a sense. "See" to "want" to "flu" is a repeated cycle of understanding, the feelings of psychological process, but also in the sketch performance must have an emotional state of mind. Training in drawing only this mentality gradually repeated in depth, in order to create one after another sketch understanding highs. oil painting Often some teachers: a basic sketch of the learning process, the teacher is to "hands-on" teaching to enable students to understand. Obviously such teachers ignore the emotional factors of students, more depressed student initiative, is not desirable. Imagine "pinching" the hands of students, how to allow students to "open up a bit" painting it? The sketch emotional things I blend an aesthetic state On the relationship between man and the natural world, and the Western countries is very different: Westerners standing outside of the natural world, study, imitate. Man and nature, subject and object boundaries, where they are very distinct, so particular, they are naturally great. Little Angel imagination soar to heaven, is also inseparable from the wings like a bird. Chinese people standing among the natural objects to grok and natural objects. Us here, man and nature, subject and object boundaries are more blurred. Our proposition is to "Heaven, things I blend", so we do not feel than natural insignificance. We can imagine "Flying without wings and fly. The close relationship between the Chinese people with the natural world than Westerners. We see the natural objects as breathing, and human life have feelings. As Jin Shengtan: "Fish court consistently smell" look at flowers, flower Man people look at flowers, people to spend to go; flower Man flowers to people. "We can understand: the objective existence of things long as people find beauty where, at the same time means that it is with people has been mutually exchange inter-penetration. oil painting For example, in your opinion, the play brought stone from the river is a work of art. Stone with your thoughts, your mind flashes the shadow of the stone, to some extent, stone and you have one each other. This is the Chinese people "things I blend aesthetic. Is scarce in our sketch teaching "things I blend the aesthetic state of the culture and the Evolution. Students in order to get the teacher's praise and affirmation, all day immersed in the drawing board before the numbness doing repeat same action depicted, whether it is fruits and vegetables, vases or figures, gypsum stereotyped - plus care shortage spirit. Students, are you tired? The teachers are also talking about how the student, such as how hard hard - really want the students to an iron rod into a needle? Teacher, right? Sketch teaching, we should also be emotional inspiration to guide and encourage students with aesthetic meaning "stone" in front of "Still Life", "portrait", "plaster" ...... as from heart burst a performance of desire. Some people ask: "people all have love, you can not let people eat garlic do not eat garlic." My answer is: "do not eat" is a habit, not equal to "not eat", "Can not eat "the patient. The teacher's task is to take the "patient" has become a favorite, will eat garlic ". France Rodin said: "Beauty is everywhere for our eyes, not the lack of beauty, but the lack of discovery." In fact, the relationship between man and the natural world in the imagination, created by the practice gradually close up 's. The so-called "people go to the flower, flowers to people." We are not often say: "lies not draw anything, but rather how to paint."; "Beauty lies not get in that pursuit." We can also think so: "things I blend aesthetic emotional process of deep and shallow, and the final decision sketch pleasure and boring, but also determines you get more than less, is a discovery, feelings of "beauty" aesthetic state. The sketch emotional sketch learning dynamic force "Love to the depths of human loneliness." However, the lone power is huge. It is about life, art has a truly unique experience, unique ideas and the most intense love, the desire to understand the state of mind but not a forerunner. Of course, we will not let such a "huge" loneliness only requires students to recognize and understand the unique aesthetic emotion: loneliness is a willing lonely state of mind and situation, not alone, there can be "found happy and create happiness. As we all know: the eyes of the art cell "can often be found in the life of visible invisible poetic. Well, this "invisible poetic" What is it? It is a painting by things I blend aesthetic emotion. Said before "things I blend" aesthetic emotion process deep in the shallow, the final decision of a sketch of entertaining and boring. Because, as long as it is accompanied by a "beautiful" performance will certainly be pleasant. Edison said: "The most direct way to impress the mind or the United States. U.S. immediately penetrate an inner joy and satisfaction in the imagination." Burke said: "What we call the United States, the objects can cause love or some similar emotional nature or some nature. "In fact, the beauty of art, is a unique emotion. No wonder, the gurus willing to loneliness, bitterness bite to chew on people's minds is being affected by the "lonely" continue the pursuit of it. For ordinary people, the beauty of the heart we all share "; For the painter, the United States is leading to the of Art" hall "golden key. Of course, "the United States" is not so easy to obtain. Not experience a winner of the heroic feelings when rubbing his aching legs; standing Emei of Britain; hope Sunrise spectacular; see the wonders of Buddha's it? "Beauty is the greatest pleasure of Pro the deep carry out thin." Therefore, the United States, is also a strong desire for power. Only after the arduous trek "go", in order to truly achieve the interest in the beauty of art. oil painting "United States" is not static, it is always entangled with the "ugly" Fission rising. As Goethe said: "beauty and ugliness has never refused to coordination, but holding hands in the Grass ground Happy." Therefore, the United States, is dynamic, it always exists in the adjustment of the "sense of proportion". Sketch out the emotional dynamic beauty culture, even more endless charm and has a strong appeal. The sketch emotional inspiration thinking activities prerequisite Hegel said: "inspiration than anything else, is completely immersed in the subject, it is less than the performance for the perfect image of the art will never give up the kind of situations." Visible, inspired thinking exist in being emotional with the firm will , is the long-term accumulation of perceptual experience, the ongoing results of rational experience. Sketch emotional warm, active, stirring, exciting, people cheer and positive beauty passion. "Our passion is actually like the fire in Phoenix, when the old is incinerated, they immediately born in its ashes." (Goethe). "People look for it to thousands of Baidu, when I look back, that person is the lights dim. The arrival of inspiration and not to discuss with you in advance, it is riding on the rebirth of the Phoenix to; drove passion wagon comes. Even if it came to you before the long-awaited, still holds partly concealed. " oil painting Inspiration belonging to a type of "sixth sense" is a mind suddenly found a miracle. Inspired depiction let us obsessed, Fucking, inspired painting so dejected. For students, a lack of passion, in the face of how the United States sketch object will "did not feel." He was not the five senses, five feel ", but do not have a" sixth sense ", it lost the initiative we call" inspiration ". The sketch emotional thinking as a precondition for inspiration. In recent years, the art teaching gradually reformed, "what teachers teach? How to teach?" Has become a hot topic in the Art of Teaching. It should be said that, for this problem, different opinions, yet there is no unified understanding. In my view, to enable students to learn sketch in a relatively short period of time, teachers itself should have good professional skills, but also should be a rich emotional, moving and emotionally in order to enlighten them with reason, science students, the emotional teaching to the techniques and theories of vivid, together organically. www.oilpaintingproducer.com- Therefore tell me, most fair Katherine, will you have me?
