RocaWear Lifestyle: Jay-Day in Europe

Jay-Day in Europe
Big Pimpin in Belgium
Last week we featured the packed out arenas in Norway. Fans bouncing, singing the lyrics, and just all out going crazy- kinda like the Michael fans you see on television. It was a packed out arena and the energy was high, to say the least. BUT the people of Belgium really overshadowed that event in terms of numbers; they couldn’t even fit in an arena!
It looks like it was National “Jay Day” or something. Dirt Off Your Shoulders, Big Pimpin, Roc Boys, and even a couple of snipets of songs that he was featured on were some of the hits that were played.
Click HERE to view him performing Big Pimpin, also to get a view of some of the other songs he performed while he was there.
Althouhg the fans of Norway were a little bit more involved, the numbers can’t compare to the masses that flocked to see the Hip Hop mogul do his thing in Belgium. Must be a european thing to just cancel life as you know it to spend a day rockin’ to Jay in the park… kinda hot though! I Don’t care what anyone says, this was Jay-Day in Belgium. He shut it down!

Cassie wearing Sean John
Hip-hop mogul SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS has dismissed speculation he has dropped R&B singer CASSIE from his Bad Boy record label. In fact, the Hip Hop clothing and accessory designer has slated the hit R&B singer to be the face for his new Sean John womens lines.
Combs was recently forced to deny reports she had been released from her contract with Bad Boy Records following poor sales of her debut album, and insists she is here to stay with her new appointment.
He tells MTV, “She’s just been announced as the face of Sean John Women,” in a brief statement, acknowledging her position in future plans beyond music.
“She’s perfect,” said Combs.
Combs will launch the female version of his popular Sean John clothing range in September (07) along with the Unforgivable fragrance for Women.
Sean Diddy Combs, founder of Sean John, has undisputedly become the most acknowledged Hip Hop clothing designer around the world. The Harlem-born music mogul and businessman took his brand to new heights by becoming a part of ‘black history’ and American History.
Cassie
The Sean John clothing boutique on Fifth Avenue was the first Black owned business opened on the popular fashion shopping strip of New York City’s Midtown. Diddy later became the first American of African descent to win a FiFi fragrance award for his Unforgivable men’s fragrance.
Unforgivable by Sean John has been so popular with men that is made a rift in the cologne and perfume worlds. Unforgivable was the first men’s fragrance to top all women’s perfume sales.

Giorgio Armani Red Carpet
July 10, 2008
July 02nd, 2008 @ 00:39 AM – Paris Giorgio Armani calls his haute couture collection Armani Prive, but maybe he might consider renaming it Armani Red Carpet.
No designer has a bigger reputation in Hollywood than Giorgio, and one could fully understand why after enjoying his fall 2008 Prive collection, his latest, and largely successful, attempt to remake couture in his own image.
Armani striped back the collection this season, eschewing the arty hats he normally favors, and opening with a great series of fall suits and separates, designed for the Ladies Who Rule, rather than the Ladies Who Lunch. His devilishly well draped jackets in everything from mango leather or puckered silk and pleated pants with high waists in bird’s silk or grisaille all looked snazzy and posh, yet never stiff.
Giorgio Armani and Alicia Keys
Though he’s the richest designer on the planet, Armani historically never used super models in his shows, on the grounds that they “distract” attention from the clothes. This season, he sent out a phalanx of uber babes, from the runways’ best walker Vlada Roslyakova to the best show finisher of all, Natasha Poly, mesmerizing in a dazzling glass beaded dress that cried out for one missing accessory – an Oscar statuette.
Dolled up with Veronica Lake, peek a boo, hairstyles, the models drew oohs and aahs from the audience, composed of real, genuine couture costumers, quite frankly a rare species at many couture shows – absurd but true.
Their excitement grew towards the finale, applause rippling through the space at a divine black and white bustier dress held miraculously together with a horizontal velvet bow.
“It’s a pure distillation of my style,” Armani told FWD after taking his bow before an audience that included Helen Mirren, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Elsa Zylberstein and the ever beautiful Princess of Savoy Clotilde Courau.
Bizarrely, there were empty seats at the show in the Palais de Chaillot, opposite the Eiffel Tower, due a traffic snafu after French police had locked down the Place du Trocadero in preparation for the inauguration of French President Nicolas Sarkozy as rotating European president that night, when the great tower was illuminated with the blue Union flag of twelve gold stars.
Nicolas and Giorgio will have a chance to get to know each other better on Thursday, when the reigning president of fashion and the president of this country meet for Sarkozy to pin the Legion of Honor on Armani, becoming the first designer to receive the award in the Elysees Palace. view slideshow »
Gucci gala livens up Rome fashion scene
July 10, 2008
ROME – Just when fashion in Rome needed a dash of inspiration, Gucci’s Frida Giannini comes along and throws a big party in a villa overlooking the Eternal City.
Tuesday night’s event marked the 70th anniversary of the famed Gucci boutique near the Spanish Steps, and began with the presentation of the designer’s 2009 cruise collection, usually shown in New York.
The five goddess gowns that closed the snappy jet-set show are in honor of Rome and will only be available in the Via Condotti boutique.
“Isn’t Rome fantastic?” said the 36-year-old designer as she greeted some of her 300 guests, many who had come from afar, at a sit-down dinner after the show.
The 17th-century villa and its sumptuous gardens are part of the American Academy complex atop the Janiculum hill. Later 700 hip Roman young people joined the party and danced into the night to the live music of Goldfrapp.
Giannini wanted to pay tribute not only to her birthplace, but to the Roman school where she got her fashion education, The Academy of Costume and Fashion, and to her first job at Fendi, founded by five Roman sisters.
“I owe a lot to this city,” she told The Associated Press.
The event was the buzz of the Rome couture “AltaRoma” week that ended Thursday.
Gala events are few and far between since the heydays of the 1960’s, when such stars as Liz Taylor, Rita Hayworth and Audrey Hepburn, in town for filming, made Rome the high point of Italian fashion.
During the 1990s Rome had a second fashion moment, with the “Women under the Stars” gala summer event on the Spanish Steps, a fashion show that included the top names in Italian couture and ready-to-wear as well as foreign designer guests. That was televised live to many countries.
But despite attempts to revive the mood, in the past decade Rome couture has become a very local event.
This time more than 20 houses, including Gattinoni and Sarli, showed their latest collections in the halls of a former Medieval convent in the shadow of St. Peter’s Basilica, the same venue used last year by Valentino for his farewell to fashion.
Model for Gucci Gala
The clothes were beautiful with sumptuous fabrics and grande soiree styles, and at times a little more affordable with the invention of `demi-couture’ — something between `haute couture’ and ‘ready to wear.’ Mainly, however, the shows were about dresses for mother’s garden party and her daughter’s wedding.
The crowds reflected the runway, including plenty of ladies from wealthy families as well as TV starlets.
“We have to rekindle Rome’s fashion fire,” said Rome’s new mayor Gianni Alemanno, a guest at the Gucci party.
The city and the province of Rome sponsored fashion week, and are looking for new ways to promote the “made in Rome” label. Among the ideas are a permanent venue for the shows, a fashion department at Rome’s city university to train future designers and interaction between fashion and films.
But as Alemanno was meeting Wednesday with designers and reporters at the Campidoglio, Rome’s historic city hall, across the Tiber at the convent site, designer Rafaella Curiel was steaming. The mayor’s meeting had delayed her show for over an hour.
“This is the last time I’m showing here,” said the Milanese designer, who for the past 25 years has brought her couture collections to Rome.
