magazine (704)

The making of Vivrant Magazine’s first issue was an amazing challenge. The idea and concept of the Vivrant brand and the Vivrant woman is still being developed, but I quickly realized that it was more than a project or a job. The magazine brings the reader a focused voice of fashion with an insider’s appeal. The rich fashion perspective allows our sophisticated reader to discover her own style and still enjoy the trends as they emerge in a timely fashion. We offer a sneak peek into the inner wor

A Few Interesting Tips from Benjamin Kanarek Blog by: Frédérique Renaut

There are some interesting adages one might wish to use in describing relationships with model agencies.

There are many reasons for this and in my opinion some of those decisions have more to do with the Politics of Fashion than the n

Four, Three, Two, One Button Suit Jacket

Over the years we’ve seen many variations in buttons on suit jackets and sport coats. As of late, the most popular has been the 3 button version.

By now you’ve noticed the shift ba
