Victoria Beckham‘s Spring Summer 2012 show at New York Fashion Week yesterday is a bona fide hit and pulling in rave reviews. She

 actually burst into emotional, but happy tears while taking a bow and backstage! Elle U.K. wrote, “After eight years building a

 small dress collection into an internationally significant brand, Victoria Beckham has a self-confidence that allowed her to move

 the signature aesthetic sharply on. There were flat shoes (conceived with the help of Manolo Blahnik, no less). There were men’s

 shoes! Hell, there [were] even trousers! But most of all, there was a sense of quiet assurance …” Harper’s Bazaar added, “It

 is clear Victoria Beckham understands what a woman wants but with this collection she is sure to gain new admirers.” The Los

Well, it's starting to catch me and make me happy. But she deserves it. She was two points to lose the game yesterday and end up winning. I thought [Victoria] Azarenka was nervous, she missed some shots that should not miss. Whenever they stand a chance, and to assume they had could not do it. Serena did well.

Remember you have to open your nerves?

Of course, everyone gets nervous. It's just better able to handle and manage. You just have to focus on what you do, 'OK, this game I must win, win to win this ... I've used this way or start the ball higher ... " While the process at this time to be the nerves away. They break completely, and in the end it's right on the ball. You should block.

Is there a parallel between this situation and try to stay in shape after 50 years?

But of course there is a parallel between this and what we really do - because you get overwhelmed with the stuff. Therefore, priority: At this point I must at this point I need to do to stay hydrated - if you do not think things over 20,000.

What is your education?

I did not, because I travel a lot. I do what I can. This week I'm going I do not usually play more tennis. I'll take a little walk with the dogs, biking, when I go to the gym, it is usually for cardio. I'm not much weight, every time for me to take a few pumps and leg exercises to strengthen my legs. When I play I in Aspen skiing or snowboarding or hockey when I have not done it for a year, because I. In Paris, where I am my friend It's catch as catch can. But the variety is what I recommend: Since variety is the spice of life in the food, it is in the exercise. Change it. But most importantly, do not overdo it. ... You really comfortable, what do you train.

Tell me about your diagnosis of breast cancer in 2010 and how it changes your life.

This reinforced my philosophy that "seize the opportunity" always on and make the best of what I cute now. It makes you to do, of course: you do what you want? Are you where you will be for the rest of your life? It's forced a kind of midlife crisis, I guess. I have not changed anything, because I, where I was and what I liked doing. But it is a shock to the system, and it makes you realize how crapshoot that is all. I went to the supermarket and stock up on all things organic immediately - even if now reports that it is not that much difference. I still buy.

I have it easy compared to most people who are diagnosed, because all I had to do was to radiation - which hit me on my ass, but I was able to play tennis and to work through them. Lumpectomy and was more than a simple surgical procedure and I was fine the next day. What has to happen for me, it is the strength of the women were when I went to get my exposure in Paris, women were so beautiful and force that came from them was very exciting.

What is the most dangerous thing you have done in your life since you were 50?

This TV show called "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here", which included jumping out of a plane - I did not know I was going until five minutes before we did. I would like to know if it possible to ... I loved the free fall. It is frightening, but it's exciting.

And other risky thing that should not be risky - I tried to climb Kilimanjaro for charity and almost died on the mountain. But I did not know I could die if I do not get nervous. I found out later that I could have died, and I was like, "Oh shit." But you do not know that you are in danger, if you are not stressed about it. It is still [an example], how the mind plays on our body. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, the next day I tried to play hockey, and I had to stop - I had no energy. I'm lost, completely exhausted, which shows you how to control your mind, and how much effort you want to use.

What is the best advice you've ever received?

I think it's really hit me the most is Katharine Hepburn, and said, "It is not what you do in life, what you are ready." In the meantime, I'm struggling with to finish a book at the moment. (Laughs) ... I also think that too many people equate money with success and has nothing to do with the other. If you mean a lot of money so you just make a lot of money. It makes you not a better person. Play tennis, I did not win put in my self-esteem or lose games.

So, what do you think of your value?

Just as I am - as I am with others, as I did on the people around me, how different, your value, treat your character.

What social and political causes are you most excited about?

I have. Active in the animal rights and all sorts of things for the environment and children's charities over the years But for now, affects you me much - and is relevant to many people - it gay marriage and gay rights is.

Are you encouraged by the progress that has been made?

Absolutely, it is moving in the right direction, but there are people who try to block this effort. Now that we're so close, it's really something to go, what you do not want to leave. You do not want back.

What is your greatest accomplishment?

I think it transcends sport and affect people outside of the sport in a positive way, whether a country can leave the oppressors, or long before it was a popular thing to do - more than 30 years. So I think a good example.

Navratilova lead fitness sessions and a large-scale operation in the case of voluntary national AARP & Expo, Life @ 50 + 20 to 22 September in New Orleans.

Warby Parker raises $36.8M to expand fashion eyewear brand

Warby Parker, the hip online eyewear brand, has been one of the hottest stories in the New York startup scene and now it has a big
funding round to go with the acclaim. The company has raised $36.8 million in a Series B round according to a new SEC filing first
noticed by Fortune.
The filing notes that $3.2 million is still left to be sold so the entire round could end up being $40 million. General Catalyst
Partner’s Joel Cutter is apparently taking a lead role in the round and is joining Warby Parker’s board as a director. The
company previously raised a $12 million Series A from Tiger Global and Menlo Ventures’ Talent Fund along with existing investors
First Round Capital, Lerer Ventures and Thrive Capital, who also put in $1.5 million in Warby Parker’s seed round.
The company declined to comment on the money but a source close to the startup said the money will go toward building out Warby
Parker’s footprint as it sells more products, opens more retail locations and expands its marketing efforts. The company has about
100 employees since launching in 2010.
The new funding is a testament to the success Warby Parker has had in in building up a fashion brand. That’s pretty unprecedented
for a company that began online and sells primarily through the mail. Warby Parker excelled with its mix of hip styles, low $95
price point with shipping and its mission to help distribute glasses to needy people for every pair of glasses purchased. The
company has also flourished with its focus on customer service, which includes the ability to try on glasses virtually online or
the ability to get five frames to try out at home with free shipping. That has helped Warby Parker overcome one of the biggest
hurdles for online fashion brands, getting people to feel comfortable about their online purchase.
The company hasn’t put out hard sales figures but it said that in 2011, it gave away more than 100,000 pairs of glasses through
its Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program.

new york fashion week models google glass runway

The Google Glass wearable computing project has taken its fair share of insults for being too geeky or dorky. Fashion icon Diane
von Furstenberg rose to the challenge during New York Fashion Week by partnering with Google co-founder Sergey Brin to use the
glasses for a runway show. We have her to thank for answering the question: Can some of the world’s best models make these things
look good?
The models and von Furstenberg herself wore the glasses during the show and the resulting footage will be cut into a film that
scheduled for release later this week.
Fittingly, the designer’s Google+ page has shots from the event:

New York Magazine has an interesting write-up from a fashion perspective. Writer Charlotte Cowles, who was previously unfamiliar
with the Glass project, said:
Brin himself was in attendance and apparently made his way down the catwalk with von Furstenberg at the end of the show.
The tech and fashion worlds don’t often collide, so I can imagine plenty of audience members were perplexed by this “doodad”,
while swaths of tech enthusiasts are now on Wikipedia reading up on von Furstenberg.
Photos like the one above don’t give me much hope for the stylishness of Google Glass, but I am very interested to see how the
film turns out. It could revolutionize the way documentaries are made. Though, the revolution probably wouldn’t come cheap, since
the developer costs $1,500 a pair.
The DVF show is bound to generate a fair amount of buzz for the project, but it all seems a bit premature. Google has promised to
get developer pre-orders out in early 2013, and the consumer version is expected to arrive in 2014.
