Paris Beach Volleyball Grand Slam: Henkel is the Main Sponsor
The Henkel Beach Volleyball Grand Slam Tournament 2008 will be held in Paris from June 16-22. This year is the fourth time the Beach Volleyball Grand Slam Tournament will be held in the French capital. And for the third time, Henkel is the main sponsor of the event, and will present its corporate brand name and seven product brands: Fa, Mir, Le Chat, Pattex, SuperGlue, Loctite and Schwarzkopf.
More than 200 matches will take place on the grounds of the "Champs de Mars," against the fantastic backdrop of the Eiffel Tower. The arena has a capacity exceeding 6,500 spectators, who will be able to experience world-class beach volleyball free of charge. The best 130 teams from 40 countries will travel to Paris to pit their skills against each other. For the athletes, the tournament is important in terms of the qualification for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in August. The winners will not only qualify for the Summer Olympics, but also earn 600,000 euros in prize money. Accordingly, the Beach Volleyball Grand Slam Tournament in Paris ranks among the most lucrative beach volleyball competitions worldwide.
As the main sponsor, Henkel also offers fans a diverse range of fringe events. These include instructions given by Le Chat on maintaining health at the same level as top athletes, the opportunity to relax in the wellness zone hosted by Fa, or a visit to the Henkel Cafe.
Beach volleyball attained the status of an Olympic sport in 1996. Since the 1980s, the game has emerged as a highly popular sporting event, which appeals to a large audience. In addition to the playing surface, the main difference compared to indoor volleyball is the number of players on the team. In beach volleyball, each team consists of two players, not six as is the case with its indoor counterpart.
Henkel has been sponsoring national and international sports events for many years. Besides the Beach Volleyball Grand Slam tournaments in Paris and Klagenfurt, Austria, Henkel has also been involved with the Ice Hockey World Championship in Canada and the World Handball Championship in Germany last year.
Henkel, headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, has about 55,000 employees worldwide and counts among the most internationally recognized German-based companies in the global marketplace. People in approximately 125 countries around the world use the brands and technologies from Henkel. Henkel is organized into three globally operating business sectors: Laundry & Home Care, Cosmetics & Toiletries, and Adhesive Technologies.

Lord and Taylor Re-Launches Its Legendary Rose
The department store Lord and Taylor has re-launched its iconic Rose, first introduced in the 1940s and now re-created and re-colored in "sunrise," (a mixture of yellow and orange the store has adopted as its own). The exuberant new Lord and Taylor Rose is showcased on shopping bags, boxes, gift cards and in-store visuals in all 47 Lord and Taylor stores in the Northeast USA. In Manhattan, collages of the Rose are displayed in awnings and windows across the Fifth Avenue facade of the landmarked flagship store and wrap buses that carry New Yorkers and visitors to and from metro area locations.
Lord and Taylor is an upscale specialty department store with 47 stores in nine states and the District of Columbia. Founded in 1826, Lord and Taylor is America's oldest department store and one of the premier retailers.
The store is also conducting its first annual contest to re-create the Lord and Taylor Rose from submissions of original art work by artists from around the world. "We are planning to bring back the Lord and Taylor Rose each Spring, each time a different version created by a different artist," says Jane Elfers, President and Chief Executive Officer. Artists, graphic designers and photographers can get details and contest rules by visiting www.lordandtaylor.com/rosecontest. Registration and submissions will take place online through May 26. Industry experts will select 60 entries and their images posted on the website on June 9. The public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorites, one vote per e-mail. The first round of the vote will close at midnight, June 22. Thirty top entries will be posted on the website, June 25, and the second round of voting will begin, ending at midnight, June 30. The winner will be announced on July 2. Besides having his or her Lord and Taylor Rose showcased in the store flagship's Fifth Avenue awnings and windows as well as in shopping bags, boxes, gift cards and in- store visuals in all Lord and Taylor stores next Spring, the winner will receive a $10,000 cash award and multiple mentions in national and international press.

The re-launch of the Rose is part of the Lord and Taylor rebranding campaign. The campaign, created by David Lipman, Chairman of LIPMAN, a leading branding and integrated advertising agency, aims to modernize the store's image. The campaign is showcasing the results of Lord and Taylor CEO Elfers' commitment to upgrading merchandise assortments, in-store services, amenities, and brand packaging, while upholding Lord and Taylor's 182 year history.

KILLERLOOP -- Spring/Summer 2008 Collection
View Larger Picture
Detail is everything. This is the Killerloop brand's motto for summer 2008. There's obviously a meticulous, glamour-driven attention to detail, however tiny or even hidden. This is not just casualwear, but a style to identify with.
Parkour. Geometric printing is the theme of this obstacle-free course. It goes from outside to in, from lining to pocket, from color to embossing. She moves from all-white light jersey trousers, tops and sweaters to shades of grey for viscose overwear or bombers with bustier lacing on the back, and on to the silver of a satin jacket and the Lurex decorations on layerable tops. Ending with denim, "pure" or gloss-laminated. His palette, too, features white, grey, black and traces of red. Medium-large, yarn-dyed check trousers team with shaded stripes or Greek frets. Polo shirts, sweatshirts, pullovers and "new camo" Bermudas in the theme's colors.
Capo Verde. Colors of Africa and of volcanic rocks with tribal decorations and a recurrent star-shaped flower. Chocolate oilskin unisex bombers. She wears hers over a little floral-print dress, with a flowery cotton mini or over a striped Lurex top. He wears his with canvas Bermudas, over a spotless white sweater with a patterned hood or with tie-and-dye T-shirts. Knee-length tartan pants are matched with stripes of all widths. Light canvas, sheer jersey and ultra-fine knitted fabric ensure cool clothes for the high summer. |GlobalGiants.com|

UNITED COLORS OF BENETTON SPRING/SUMMER 2008
WOMENSWEAR COLLECTIONS
Brilliant colours, dynamic style, young glamour, international mood.
Four definitions which, in a harmonious whole, sum up the UCB collection for the next spring and summer season. A spontaneous style yet with fashion detailing, true to itself, while incorporating lifestyle changes.
New Woman, or formalwear from 8 in the morning to 8 in the evening, with strictly classic items featuring low waists, ultra-narrow hems, basic colours and stripes in all widths and all directions. Outerwear, long or short, has trench details; the shirts, the current must-haves, also influence the cut of the t-shirts and minidresses which become shirt dresses.
Her like Him, basic men's styles with feminine charm. Neutral tones with a touch of rosewood. Slouchy trousers top the bill yet when it's the turn of skirts they must be fluid and floaty above the knee. A parenthesis of sprigged silk and a sparkle of sequins that are barely visible soften the raincoats and the striped shirts of the perfect executive.
Everything's Ethno, an unpredictable touch of folk; stateless fashion details tell of far-off lands: Peruvian stripes, Caribbean flowers, Japanese sleeves, African patterns, Indian jodhpurs and Nepalese layering.
Sweaters, or a world of knits. Soft tricots in every colour, every stitch and every size to be worn with multicoloured leggings and tape knit shrugs. Stripes are endearing and enchanting decorations - horizontal, vertical, floral, openwork, ruched and gathered. The rugby polo shirt is offered in multiple lengths, even as far as the ankle.

SISLEY SPRING/SUMMER 2008 WOMEN'S AND MEN'S COLLECTIONS
Sisley plays with the zodiac groups' four elements in its collection for next spring-summer and creates moods with a strong astrological feel.
Earth, for people of character, with their feet on the ground, the colours of the earth: dusty grey, sandy yellow, Dolomite pink, earthy brown and clay red. For her, outfits that cling and reveal: shape-hugging dresses, shorts, pedal pushers that are almost leggings, fluid knitwear with deep necklines and overwear in nylon or other fabrics and - so we don't forget the subsoil - metal. For him there's denim and pumice grey, too. Casual outfits with urban bermudas worn with a leather jacket-style barracuda or a waist-length trench coat.
Water, giving free rein to imagination and gentleness: impeccable white and subtle pale tones with unexpected contrasts in passion red or ocean blue. For her, a cruise mood in soft slacks and bermudas, casual skirts, chiffon cocktail dresses, minimal coats with lacquer-red belts, faux-leather short jackets for strolling along the quay, and shirt-styled jackets. He adapts to the mood, dressing with "instinctive" elegance: white or blue suits, cotton windcheaters or jackets.
Air, with our head in the clouds and a light heart. "Airy" colours with sunset accents; textured fabrics and aerostatic volumes. She favours 40s-style trousers, blouses with statement sleeves and bows at the waist, halter tops, fluid jersey dresses printed with stylised drops which fell from a plum or cornflower-blue sky. He turns serious and wears a technical-taffeta trench coat, a pinstripe suit, leather jacket, a tie and a pullover (with a classic or slanting diamond pattern) to protect against sudden gusts of wind.
Fire, a concentration of overpowering passions and allure: intriguing black, glistening bronze, radiant ivory. Her leading articles are: faux-leather jackets, crocodile-print mini-dresses and knitwear with huge sleeves. The others are in keeping with the theme: burn-out sheerness, plunging necklines, patent "glints", chintz and zips. He is dark and handsome dressed in black or marron glacé: his outfits are casual, relaxed, layered and even floral. |GlobalGiants.com|
