The nominees were from the 5 major event categories;</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><br /></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>Best Actor</strong> – Richard Jenkins, Frank Langella, Sean Penn, Brad Pitt, Mickey Rourke.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>Best Actress</strong> – Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Melissa Leo, Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>Best Supporting Actor</strong> – Josh Brolin, Robert Downey Jr., Philip Seymour Hoffman, Heath Ledger, Michael Shannon.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>Best Supporting Actress</strong> – Amy Adams, Penelope Cruz, Viola Davis, Taraji P.

This color scheme matches the coloring of the Oscars award; a gold statue standing on top of a black base.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:small;">The black swatch is used by NELSON WADE as a distinctive label that is stitched on the inside of all custom suit jackets and sport coats.</span> <a href="http://nelsonwademagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/6954_rear-176x300.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="align-right" src="http://nelsonwademagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/6954_rear-176x300.jpg?width=176" alt="" width="176" /></a><span style="font-size:small;">Typically, the company name is embroidered onto the swatch.

Gone are the days where the high-class jet setters and socialites hopping on a plane to St. Tropez are the only ones to sport the “cruise” collections, says <em><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/17/fashion/17RESORT.html?ref=fashion" target="_blank">The New York Times</a></em>. The reality is, customers now want to shop and wear their clothes whenever and wherever they desire. According the article, a resort collection, also known as a “pre-season”, should now be called “Early Spring/Summer” instead. Does that clear everything up for you? No, well you’re not alone.</p><p><a href="http://www.afingo.com/blogs/featured/so-what-was-that-anyway-the-mystery-of-resort-collections/#more-1958" class="more-link">(more…)</a></p></div>We Smell A Rat: Rodent Fur Becomes The Latest Luxe Must-Havehttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/we-smell-a-rat-rodent-fur2010-06-07T20:30:00.000Z2010-06-07T20:30:00.000ZAfingo Fashionhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/AfingoFashion<div><div id="attachment_1613" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width:610px;"><a href="http://www.afingo.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/oscardelarenta-flikr-060710.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1613" title="oscardelarenta-flikr-060710" src="http://www.afingo.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/oscardelarenta-flikr-060710.jpg" alt="" height="400" width="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Left: Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2010 | Image via Dreamland's Flikr; Right: Oscar de la Renta Fall 2010 | Image via Joeward072389's Flikr</p><p class="wp-caption-text"><br /></p></div><p>When you think of rats, certain things may come to mind—subway tunnels, animal-testing labs, the Black Death.

Gone are the days where the high-class jet setters and socialites hopping on a plane to St. Tropez are the only ones to sport the “cruise” collections, says <em><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/17/fashion/17RESORT.html?ref=fashion" target="_blank">The New York Times</a></em>. The reality is, customers now want to shop and wear their clothes whenever and wherever they desire. According the article, a resort collection, also known as a “pre-season”, should now be called “Early Spring/Summer” instead. Does that clear everything up for you? No, well you’re not alone.</p><p><a href="http://www.afingo.com/blogs/featured/so-what-was-that-anyway-the-mystery-of-resort-collections/#more-1958" class="more-link">(more…)</a></p></div>We Smell A Rat: Rodent Fur Becomes The Latest Luxe Must-Havehttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/profiles/blogs/we-smell-a-rat-rodent-fur2010-06-07T20:30:00.000Z2010-06-07T20:30:00.000ZAfingo Fashionhttps://www.fashionindustrynetwork.com/members/AfingoFashion<div><div id="attachment_1613" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width:610px;"><a href="http://www.afingo.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/oscardelarenta-flikr-060710.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1613" title="oscardelarenta-flikr-060710" src="http://www.afingo.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/oscardelarenta-flikr-060710.jpg" alt="" height="400" width="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Left: Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2010 | Image via Dreamland's Flikr; Right: Oscar de la Renta Fall 2010 | Image via Joeward072389's Flikr</p><p class="wp-caption-text"><br /></p></div><p>When you think of rats, certain things may come to mind—subway tunnels, animal-testing labs, the Black Death.

I texted her right back.She will walk with it on the red carpet... she continued.I already said yes dear, i answered adding a smiley.It was the perfect offer: I loved the film. I love the Oscars and I love designing dresses.It was a marathon dress week in the studio, at the end of which we sent Nili Richter to the Oscars with an asymmetric, full length black silk dress.Well, we all know how the story ended. Sadly, Waltz didn't win the award.Although she was disappointed, Nili was sweet enough to text me after the ceremony saying she never felt as beautiful as during that evening.And although I was exhausted after staying up all night watching the Oscars, I had a smile on my face for the rest of the day<p style="text-align:left;"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8842650860,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" /></p>http://miritweinstock.com/dialog.asp</div>
