In Club Tropicana, body conscious summer dresses and hotpants in bold prints and colours look at home on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro.

Topshop dresses (http://us.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=32051&storeId=13052&categoryId=133427&langId=-1&top=Y ) continue to be key, particularly those featuring pretty sherbet colours and pastel ginghams.

Celebrating 50 Years of Creativity: The Ad Club Announces Winners of the 2010 Hatch Awards

Boston, MA (PRWEB) October 16, 2010

More than 900 marketing and advertising dignitaries representing the nation?s most recognizable brands and agencies attended The Ad Club?s 50th anniversary of the Hatch Awards at the Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 14, 2010.

Under the theme ?a great idea is great forever,? the event celebrated the past 50 years of creativity in the region, and honored the top current creative work found throughout New England?s advertising and marketing industry.

Earlier this year The Ad Club flew in an all-star crew of judges representing some of the nation?s top agencies. They paged through 892 entries from more than 100 different companies. At the ceremony, The Ad Club awarded 23 gold winning entries, 98 silver winning entries and 109 bronze awards. New categories this year include ?mobile application,? ?best spot for super budget under $ 15,000,? ?experiential? and ?games.?

?Many local brands have been honored by the Hatch Awards over the past 50 years, including John Hancock, Liberty Mutual, Dunkin Donuts, Ocean Spray and Fidelity,? said Kathy Kiely, president of The Ad Club. ?This year?s winners were honored for their traditional work, as well as for their creative work in digital, mobile, social media and web categories. While our platforms have changed over time, the marketing fact remains ? ?a great idea is great forever.??

In addition to well known agencies such as Arnold Worldwide, Hill Holliday and Mullen, newer agencies in the Hatch 50 spotlight included Allen & Gerritsen, Brand Content, Fort Franklin, Full Contact, PJA Advertising, BEAM Interactive, MMB and NAIL.

The awards show is named in honor of the late Francis W. Hatch (1897- 1975), who began his career in advertising at BBDO and went on to become the head of their Boston office. He was a copywriter, songwriter, storyteller and humanitarian. In choosing the title of this event, award show founders decided that it would carry the name of a person who was respected for the qualities for which The Ad Club stood. Hatch was unanimously selected.

At present day, Kiely says the local marketing communications industry is strong. The Ad Club released a benchmark study with the Boston Redevelopment Authority this summer. The marketing and communications sector has a direct effect of $ 16.3 billion on the MA GRP and is responsible for more than 143,000 jobs in the Commonwealth, equaling 4.4% of total jobs.

REDCOM-Sponsored Race Cars Wrap up the 2010 Season with a Championship at Road Atlanta and a Fund Raiser at Watkins Glen

Victor, NY (PRWEB) November 26, 2010

REDCOM Laboratories Inc., a company that designs and manufactures the world?s most reliable interoperable telecommunications systems for civilian and DoD applications, is proud to announce that REDCOM-sponsored race cars had a very successful 2010 race season, culminating in two high profile events at world famous tracks.

John Weisberg, driving the REDCOM/Solar Stik/BERG Racing Cooper Tires Prototype Lites WEST racecar, clinched the series championship after two nail-biting races at Road Atlanta October 1st and 2nd. The REDCOM-badged car entered the final 2-race event 5 points behind in the championship. Weisberg would need to drive at his best to remain a contender. It started well, with Weisberg qualifying 1st for race 1, with the points leader Lee Alexander starting 3rd. Weisberg would lead every lap but the last to finish a heartbreaking 2nd. But Alexander, finishing 7th, handed the championship lead to John. Weisberg would now only need to finish ahead of Alexander in the second race to become the champion. The REDCOM car started race 2 from 2nd place but shortly took the lead and won handily, taking the team and driver championship titles in the process. This is the second year in a row that the BERG Racing/REDCOM crew has brought the title home. ?It?s great to win the championship again for me and the team but it?s also a pleasure to represent REDCOM, as well as have the support of Solar Stik,? said Weisberg.

Be sure to visit the Cooper Tires Prototype Lites web site for the full story on John Weisberg's victory.

Also, on September 10-12, Dinah Gueldenpfennig, VP Planning and Government Program Administration at REDCOM, drove the REDCOM/BERG Racing Ferrari 355 Challenge at Watkins Glen International during the SVRA (Sportscar Vintage Racing Association) Glenora US Vintage Grand Prix. She finished 2nd in class during the one hour enduro on September 11 and 2nd in class during a 30 minute sprint the same day, followed by 3rd overall during a sprint race in the rain on Sunday. The race entry was used to raise money for Hillside Children?s center.

?REDCOM is very proud to be a sponsor of this racing effort and to have our company logo appear side by side with Hillside Children?s Center logo,? said Klaus Gueldenpfennig, President of REDCOM. Hillside Family of Agencies is a family and children services organization that provides child welfare, mental health, youth development, juvenile justice, special education, and developmental disabilities services across central and western New York. The event raised over $ 3,000 for the organization. This was calculated based on the number of laps completed, multiplied by the dollar amount pledged. ?It was an honor to race to raise money for Hillside, and an honor to represent REDCOM in doing so,? said Dinah.

Kate Moss Topshop Presents New Spring Summer 2010 Collection

London, UK (PRWEB) May 22, 2010

Kate Moss Topshop presents a new collection of vintage inspired signature pieces for Spring Summer 2010.?Featuring a handful of limited-edition items and an eclectic mix of eras, styles, fabrics and colour palettes, the core collection truly reflects Kate's bohemian take on dressing and covers every occasion for the season ahead.

Topshop and Kate Moss have targeted contemporary designs throughout the range with the new collection taking its inspiration from the 1970s; vintage floral print shirts complete with corseting panels to update a classic.

Dresses dominate the collection, varying from casual summer frocks to elegant daywear through to show-stopping evening gowns. The selection of dresses uses a mix of floral print, sleeved and sleeveless, chiffon tiered as well as 1920s-inspired maxi dresses. The subtle and feminine tones combined with the contemporary approach highlights the diversity in this collection; emphasised by the ditsy print washed cotton mini dress with a maxi length graduated back - the dress of the season. Denim makes a comeback too with a larger selection of shapes and washes. Grey super skinnies, hippy-ish low rise wide leg jeans and a fitted denim blazer are key pieces within the collection.

Topshop has also published a short Kate Moss Topshop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIFbe_TG7PE ) film shot by British fashion photographer and industry favourite, Nick Knight, to accompany the 98 piece collection and allow online viewers to get a first look.

The film showcases the vintage inspired collection and features Kate Moss dancing along to the Strange Boys, backlit with an array of dreamy colours. The video was the first of its kind for Kate Moss in her long established relationship with Topshop. She commented; "The way Nick shot the film really brings across the airy and romantic feel of this collection".

USC Rocks It In Ibiza with Abandon's 2010 Collection

(PRWEB) June 21, 2010

It looks like dancing on the beach at midnight for Abandon's Spring 2010 collection, which has been inspired by the cool kids' side of Ibiza with gorgeous prints, fabulous playsuits, and of course the obligatory maxi dresses.

Keeping in line with the loungy beach feel, the clothes are airy and fit loosely on the body. Prints and necklines are tribal inspired, with Navajo inspired cut diamonds and varied, coloured bands that run along the hemlines of summer dresses. In the beginning, heavily embellishment interplays with vintage style dressing, which gives way to rock' n' roll glamour of the psychedelic 60s and 70s.

Key pieces from this collection include prints injected ontomaxi dresses, playsuits, and bandeau tops. Crochet details are splashed over the back of organic swirled summer dresses and embellished detailing is delicately dripped onto kaftans and tunics. Flirty full skirts and harem trousers can be mixed up with simple cami tops and bold printed t- shirts. These flirtatious pieces offer a feminine contrast to the summer grunge inspired trends that are taking place this season.

Kate Moss Launches Essentials Collection for Autumn/Winter 2010

London, England (PRWEB) August 8, 2010

In addition to the current Kate Moss for Topshop collection, Topshop has launched a range of simple yet luxurious essentials for Autumn Winter. Combining a mix of vests, tees and dresses this collection aims to satisfy all fashion basic needs.

The new collection continues to use the same fine jersey that has been seen in previous Kate Moss collections and continues to play on the greens, greys and beige colour tones. Key pieces for the collection include the charcoal grey long sleeved maxi dress and a long sleeve shift dress with pocket detailing available in both black and beige.

The inspiration for the updated Kate Moss collection (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?beginIndex=0&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&categoryId=210529&parent_category_rn=210521&langId=-1&top=Y ) came from a conversation with Kate about her perfect jersey items. She enjoys wearing jersey vests and tees so she was asked to come up with her perfect shapes and colours that she felt were missing from her own wardrobe.

An extensive mix of styles is featured in the new collection, from comfy vests and tees, to the new shape of the Boyfriend tee. The Boyfriend Tee is a key piece for Autumn/Winter and Kate has made it her own within the collection by adding ruche shoulders. This tee is available in stone and washed black and has been styled so it looks great worn with everything.

Camel is a must have colour for Autumn/Winter and Kate has incorporated this into her collection through her Jersey tee and a long sleeve T-shirt dress. Her long sleeved dresses (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=12556&categoryId=209717&top=Y&langId=-1&catalogId=33057 ) are also available in black which are an ideal garment to throw on day or night. The jersey maxi dress is detailed with a panelled pocket and a tie waste, and is a prominent piece within the collection. Suitable for year-round wear whether it's teamed with gladiators in summer or chunky boots in winter - this item is set to be a piece customers turn to time and time again.

While the Essential collection is a premium basic collection with an emphasis on simple shapes, Topshop continually tries to move shapes on and Kate is constantly offering her ideas on her ideal shape, helping to keep things up to date while reflecting her own personal style.

Kay Celine is expanding its website to include e-commerce, enabling consumers to conveniently access and purchase their favorite styles. With an increasing emphasis on e-retailers, Kay Celine has chosen to expand its reach by speaking directly to shoppers via a streamlined, user-friendly avenue.

Kay Celine has been creating wearable separates for the past two decades, offering chiffon tunics in a variety of prints and patterns.

Becoming frustrated with the work attire available, Kay Kamran began her design career when she saw a gap in the womenswear market over 20 years ago. Seeking a wardrobe that could easily translate from day to night, Kamran designed a capsule of lace blouses and received a tremendous response. Specializing in versatile pieces that can be worn from the office through the weekend, Kamran has spent the past two decades perfecting her aesthetic, delivering versatile, sophisticated designs year after year. Every look is a statement unto itself with signature graphic prints, bold embellishments, and hand-beaded detailing, highlighting the brand?s detailed style.

Available for Spring 2010, Kay Celine creates a collection of flirty summer prints with beaded necklines. Light chiffon fabrics and cotton jersey maxi dresses combat the rising temperatures while maintaining an effortlessly chic look.

For Fall 2010, the collection easily translates from day to night with silk chiffon tunics, dip-dyed fringe shirts, chic jersey tops, and beaded tunics. With a touch of romantic glamour, Kay Celine has re-introduced lace this season, referencing her early collections and the re-emergence of this delicate fabric for the modern woman.

Consistently evolving as a collection, Kay Celine has mimicked this approach in developing its business, finding new ways to connect with consumers and capture the attention of the fashion industry. With an emphasis on customer loyalty, the brand will conduct special online sales for valued shoppers through http://www.KayCeline.com. In addition, visitors to the site may view the upcoming collections before they deliver to stores, giving the public a sneak peek of what?s to come.

MONSOON Introduces the Autumn Winter 2010 Collection

(PRWEB) November 25, 2010

Monsoon Girl

Early autumn brings a rich opulent party story encouraging the feel of New Romantics. This story has a bold colour palette using redcurrant, purple and magenta on simple styles. Brocade fabrications create intricate embellishment, and ostrich feather boas and capes are the perfect addition to any party outfit.

Inspired by art student dressing, Studio is a clean modern look that encourages a quirky urban aesthetic. True cold weather items, including belted cable-knit ladies cardigans, duffle coats and tweed jackets teamed with fingerless gloves and beanies create a cosy autumn wardrobe.

Pre-Raphaelite & Blenheim Palace embraces the floaty dress as a key piece. Beautiful chinoiserie and watercolour florals, delicate lace embellishment and vintage beading on silks, georgette and chiffon encourage a luxurious feel; whilst jewelled sash?s, crystal, sequin and silk corsage detailing on a soft pretty colour palette are used here for the ultimate party and bridesmaid dresses.

By winter, the party range moves into Poetic Rose, with oversized William Morris prints mixed with heavy satins, soft taffeta?s and dull gold and burnished bronzes, giving the range a ?40s? Parisian feel. Frankincense is the eclectic story leading up to Christmas, inspired by textiles and embellishments from the countries and the regions along the silk route. Rich spicy colours and intricate patterns are key, with damask and Ikat prints creating a captivating contrast of girlish charm.

Pretty, delicate ditsy florals are juxtaposed with foil and monochrome prints to introduce Pebble. The feminine essence of this trend is highlighted with hues of neutral colours, winter whites and greys accented with lilac. Sumptuous fabrications in the form of cashmere, boucle, tweed and boiled wool with soft ruffles and bow detailing lend a certain charm to the trend. Layering is key for the season with fur gillets, oversized blazers and pea coats worn with dark denims and fine wool knits.

Monsoon Boy

Boyswear moves into Autumn with popular styles updated using the inspirational imagery of the London skyline and the beautifully illustrated Sasak children?s books. The theme also includes famous icons from the British Isles such as the Welsh dragon and Scottish Loch-Ness monster hence the collection named ?Great Brits? appealing to budding explorers and adventurers alike.

Transporter is all about what boys love, from trucks and diggers; to cars and planes. Traffic jams provide the main source of inspiration for intarsia knits, appliqu?s and shirt prints with na?ve handwriting, a fundamental

characteristic of the Monsoon Boy range. The tapered denim jean worn with checked shirts and long-sleeve tees add an urban edge.

Monsoon?s take on Superheros & Monsters is a must-have for boys. Dinosaurs and robot embroidery are featured alongside comic book superhero graphics. The look is fun and funky, quirkily mixing checks and stripes. Black is the denim colour of choice, with two-tone cords also making an appearance. Bold striped knitwear, conversational intarsias and multi-coloured fairisles in marine blues and ruby reds are interspersed with highlights of fluro yellow and jade green.
