snow leopards and wild yak to "Fashion Victims"

  Snow leopard, wild yak and other iconic wildlife on the highest mountains in the world and the great steppes to "fashion victims" of rising global trade cashmere, new research has revealed. Scientists have wildlife is preparing lightweight wool discovered at the edge of survival of "striking, but accidental" sharp increase in the number of goats driven luxury consequences. Herds of antelope eat the grass, which previously supported, donkeys and wild predators. Other problems were reprisal killings by leopards and wolves slaughter cattle ranchers after attacks of wild animals by shepherds and the transmission of diseases from animals farming for wildlife. "In the absence of a commitment by global and local scales, these iconic wildlife continues to exist as they have for millennia, has entered into an international team of researchers in the journal Conservation Biology." Rather than as symbols of success these species will be fashion victims. "The study showed that 95% of all food was consumed on the Tibetan plateau, Mongolia and northern India from goats, sheep and other animals, so that only 5% for wild animals. "You are really on the margins," said a member of the team, Charudutt Mishra Nature Conservation Foundation of India and a former winner of the prestigious Whitley. Under the animal world, the Przewalski horse, Bactrian camels, Tibetan antelope and Siaga be squeezed. "But it's not an easy question, because the production of cashmere does not benefit and economic development is important to local communities," Mishra said. "I'll take care of the snow leopard, but I also really care about these people and their livelihood., The solution is empowerment." Examples of small projects that have been helped, he said, to pay premiums for cashmere products of the established communities that. unable to attend snow leopard or poach wildlife, improvements to the coral, where the goats live leopards to prevent them and kill goats vaccination to prevent the spread of disease In Pakistan, an insurance policy for retaliation murder has reduced the animals snow leopard. Mishra said it was time, but not much to make such systems more widely, and to protect wildlife. He said it was not hard to convince communities of the need for conservation, "You do not have to preach, people see the intrinsic value." The United Kingdom is one of the four largest importers of Mongolian cashmere, a job that has become a multi-billion. In Mongolia alone, the number of domestic goats increased from 5 million in 1990 to almost 14 million in 2010. Ninety percent cashmere comes from China and Mongolia.

Chanel Shimmering City

       A trip to Singapore Spring has given topic by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel Couture show his Autumn - "The old and the new world," he said. The old man was a theater in ruins (built by Chanel machinists in the Grand Palace) and represented as a sparkling new galactic landscape in ruins.

Mr. Lagerfeld continued dialogue with the clothes - more or less successfully. Tweed sooty (or, more likely, embroidery resembles tweeds) and medieval robes were mixed with the surface of the new world and glassy materials. A closer examination often reveals a strange substance was actually quite a beautiful silk with small diagonal lines of silver sequins. The tiled panel of an evening dress in a straight line was, in fact, based on origami, with hundreds of small squares in colorful pleated chiffon silk. The strawberry an evening dress in black tulle was made by folding first store in Paris.

So the old leadership has given the new, and thus a kind of harmony that Mr. Lagerfeld knows how.

The clothes were immaculate, catchy, misleading. While rummaging backstage before the show, I stopped in front of a bright green woven tunic dress (or maybe embroidered, again it's hard to tell) in a nearly rustic texture with pieces of gray and white and dark green. The tunic has a wide neck and a small row of buttons in matte silver and discrete bags. We have seen this kind of Mr. Lagerfeld - the small shoulder tunic worn (this time) with a wide belt and thigh suede glove so thin they had to take place by garters. Later, when the coats and tops in the corridors of the decrepit theater Mr. Lagerfeld appear, they seem rather flat. But because I touched it and looked in and saw the colors very close, I can say that there is more than meets the eye.

But some of the proportions and shapes Day Mr. Lagerfeld need airing, it became a little monotonous. And I think it depends on too many new textures to give them new.

The gowns were usually large, silver or black with the strongest part cash, widow black tulle beads or micro-scratches on the soft, supple, delicate silk insect's wing.
