Wedding Photo Creations

Fouta has been named by the media, the multi-talented towel!!! Indeed it fits everywhere and everyone: you can wear it, use it, decorate your home with or set your table, with Fouta as a tablecloth when you feel whimsical and creative. You can find the irresistible towels on line and the best specialty stores from coast to coast.

With Fouta you really can let your creativity fly with style, there are so many patterns to choose from. I went on a shopping spree and I chose many. Some to wear at the beach the way you would wear a pareo or a sarong. Some to wear as a shawl or a long scarf. Some to decorate my home (and found out that a very famous magazine has had the same idea…).

Some I am using in my bathrooms, their absorbency and lightness make them so easy to handle they are a delight, and some just to throw on the lounge chairs around the pool. One thing I particularly love about them: after your guests have left, you wash and dry them in no time an can pile them up for the next party.

I did some research and found out that the media was absolutely gaga over the Fouta, they were picked as the “10 Must Have” items, by a trend expert magazine, this summer. Last but not least, celebrities are being spotted everywhere wearing a Fouta from Miami to Mexico and from LA to St Tropez you can see them everywhere and worn by everybody: I guess I am in good company.

The clothing company Zara was founded by Amancio Ortega Gaina. He is not only the 8th richest person in the world (according to Forbes), but also the world’s greatest fashion business figure. The company was founded in 1975 in Corunna. Their mother company – Inditex Group (Industrias de Diseco Textil Sociedad Anynima in Spanish) has had little effect on Zara’s unique policies – Zara had always been the innovators, and their owners usually don’t care what Zara does, as long as it’s profitable. Their first store on the main street of Corunna was a great success and the brand expanded to other cities in 1980s, after that to Portugal and in the end – to the UK. Now Zara has shops all over the world, and they are continuing to expand.

The company has reached its highest amounts of sales recently, since its popularity in the fashion world is tremendous. There are more than 1,500 stores in over 70 countries and new ones are opened each year. Zara’s unique clothing and accessories are successfully sold to a diverse variety of costumers, crossing barriers of culture, politics and nations on their way to the customer. The team of a little less than 300 designers is outrunning the whole fashion world in terms of productivity, since it only takes two weeks for them to produce and deliver their new clothing to stores.

There are over 11,000 new clothing pieces produced every year. The company holds the productivity record that beats the adversaries’ companies at least 3 times. The product assortment is changing every month in the UK, so you can visit the store each month and find that everything is new. The company’s newest thing is selling children’s clothing. The stores are called Kiddy’s Class and they can be found in some parts of Europe; and even there the company plans to expand more.

Are children’s designer clothing better than regular clothing? What about the argument that children will grow out of this clothing fast? Are the materials better? That depends on what you are looking for when the word quality comes to mind. Although designer clothes are more expensive, the ones that are truly worth it are not expensive solely because of the name of the designer. Sometimes more expensive clothes are made out of materials that are more likely to last longer and are more durable than other types of clothes. A cashmere cardigan, while more expensive than one made of nylon or poly-blend fibers, is more likely to last longer and keep your child warm on those chilly Autumn days. Another aspect to consider is that sometimes more expensive are often handmade. It is a beautiful thought to know that your baby is wearing a one of a kind outfit specifically tailored for them as opposed to being mass produced on a machine.

A disadvantage to buying a designer label is that just because it is more expensive does not necessarily mean it is better, so it is best to always check labels to see what the clothing is made out of. Another disadvantage is that yes, baby’s grow fast, and so purchasing handmade baby clothes will not do your little one any good if they are too big for that in less than a month. Also, you can buy a lot more different types of clothing for your little tyke if you shop at a discount retailer as opposed to a boutique.
