First International Beauty Expo Starts Feb 6 – To Be Held in Delhi

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

Via HindustanTimes.com
Over 200 cosmetic firms from 25 countries are headed to India to participate in the International Beauty Expo to be held here February 6-8.

The first and the largest of its kind to be held in the country, the event will further boost India’s beauty industry here that is growing at the rate of 20 percent per annum.

Six national pavilions from Singapore, Turkey, South Korea, Indonesia, Europe and Taiwan will take part in the three-day exposition. Countries like Australia, Monaco, the US, Italy, Spain and Germany will also exhibit their beauty products.

“The beauty industry was very unorganised until recently. But now, with greater awareness among the people and globalisation, this is no longer the case,” said Blossom Kochhar, president of the National Hairdressers and Beauticians Association India (NHBA) who are the co-organisers of the expo.

“The expo will bring the world to our doorsteps and it will be a big boost to our industry,” she said.

The Indian beauty industry is growing at over $3 billion per year and the sale of cosmetics rose by six percent in 2005. More and more foreign cosmetic brands are hence willing to come to India and explore the market here.

Kendra Lee, official spokesperson of CitiExpo, the main organiser of the event, said: “India is an important new market to be explored. It has a huge potential and many international companies believe that the demand for their products is increasing here. The expo will provide an opportunity to gain a foothold in the market.”

Apart from showcasing global brands, the lifestyle event will include seminars to educate industry professionals about service skills in salons, demonstrations on make-up and hair trends and exhibit latest technologies and products like 4U cosmetics which is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.

New therapies like oxygen therapy and the 24kt revitalisation will be demonstrated. Discussions on retailing and franchising, another facet of the beauty industry’s rising graph, will also take place.

Well-known fashion and make-up artists Clint Fernandez, Elina Damen, Robert Werner and Blossom Kochhar will be part of the demonstration programmes.

Spring Forward – Spring Fashion and Beauty in Review

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

Spring fashion is already buzzing and we’ve barely entered the new year. What may seem at first glance to provide nothing for the normal shopper, a closer examination reveals that there are in fact some pieces that are practical for everyday wear, and will show off the everyday woman – not just the 6′ plus super model. Beauty Launchpad magazine has a feature article that rounds up this year’s spring fashion. Here’s a snippet of the article by Karie L. Frost:

The overall tone for spring seemed to lack cohesiveness, with some designers teleporting fashion far into the future and others waxing nostalgic for retro ’60s inspiration. Overly frilly frocks took a backseat to gauzy, transparent confections minimal in embellishment, yet heavy in innovative construction. And while waistlines moved up, up and away, hemlines did the same, leaving miles and miles of bare gams. Did designers have everyday women in mind when creating paper-bag waists, trapeze silhouettes and hot pants that practically double as knickers? Perhaps not, but among the styles sent down spring runways, plenty of wearable garments abounded, and with tons of trends to choose from, you’re sure to find your look for spring.

Beautiful Business

Monday, October 16th, 2006

WHEN business gets more interesting than art, smart artists go into business. That, anyway, was how Andy Warhol saw things. And if the talking heads in Ken Burns’s new documentary on him are to be believed, Warhol was not just the single most important creative talent of the late 20th century but among its cannier social analysts.

Of course, Warhol was neither alone nor even first among his contemporaries to play coy games with commerce. Early in 1961, at about the time Warhol was piecing together the first moves in his grand career strategy, a reporter asked Yves Klein, a founder of the Neo-Realist movement, what he would do if offered a job as head of General Motors.

“Would you give up art?”

“Why not?” Klein replied. “It’s a good job.”

Klein’s quote is printed on a wall at the entrance to a retrospective of his work at the Pompidou Center. And it would seem to have a lot of relevance for those who spend their time critiquing the fine and applied arts.

Lately the boundaries between creative forms and commercial forces have all but vanished. And this fact, much more persuasive than any of the notional drivel being spouted about the so-called future of fashion, is the indicator to watch.
