A/W collection: "Garbo Gabo" Earlier this spring, reader Scarfie attended the exhibition, &#;Stephen Jones Hats at the Royal Pavilion&#;. The first part of her review of the exhibition, which we all enjoyed yesterday, concludes today. Welcome, Scarfie! Next up was the Banqueting Room Gallery which contained rather fewer hats spread out across the various pieces of furniture. I absolutely LOVED the red top hat with fur tail which was in the “Murder by Millinery” section! There was also an interesting hat made of felt puzzle pieces. Further along the room were some hats that looked liked diamante spiders webs – a very interesting way to make a hat giving such a light delicate effect. After this room you pass into the most amazing room in the whole pavilion &#; The Saloon. I was blown away by this room from its fantastic Axminster made Peacock carpet to the silk wall linings it truly was fabulous! I don’t think there were any hats in this room as the room is too splendid in itself. Leaving the Saloon you arrive in the Music Room Gallery and here I saw a lovely black musical note fascinator, a jaunty hat was very taken with as it was so very delicate.

This room showcased several Dior gowns topped off by Stephen’s creations – I understand that the dresses have been gifted to the Pavilion by Dior, if true that certainly is a lovely gift! Embed from Getty Images Some of the busts were adorned with hat creations as well, although one is of Stephen Jones himself, I assume solely for the exhibition. His hat is a gold dragon-esque design and then we have the King with a series of Chinese style hats in graduating sizes really quite novel to see. In the Kings Apartments on the ground Floor there was a selection of “crowns” some being made from teddy bears and a rather spectacular silvery metal crown over the centre of the bed head Eighteen years ago, Michael Jordan spoke loudly and carried a big name, all of it leveraged on behalf of the NBA players in a labor fight with NBA owners that barely salvaged a season delayed until February. In , the tables had turned – or rather, Jordan had moved to the other side of this particular table. Arguably the game’s greatest player ever, he had morphed into one of the owners’ hard-liners, pushing in self-interest as majority owner of the Charlotte franchise to slash the players’ share of revenue below even the 50/50 split the league was offering. And yet now in , with the two sides tentatively reaching an amicable new collective-bargaining agreement well in advance of any serious rancor, rhetoric or actual repercussions, Jordan emerged as one of the most important voices in the room. Members of both the owners’ and players’ negotiating committees lauded Jordan’s contributions in exclusive interviews with “It’s an emotional endeavor on both sides,” said Cleveland Cavaliers forward James Jones, secretary-treasurer of the National Basketball Players Association. “So you have to speak on the same frequency. Mike is able to do that, because he understands the opposition.” Union president Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers said: “I think he speaks from a great place, because he’s been on both sides of the table as a player and as an owner. It’s always good conversation, good to hear him give his opinion on things. Just like with anything, you disagree on some things, agree on some.” The ongoing talks to head off any potential lockout next summer ramped up in frequency and intensity in recent months as Thursday’s opt-out deadline approached. Either side had until Dec. 15 to set aside the current year agreement (CBA) that has four years remaining; conventional wisdom said that one or both would do so, if they failed to negotiate a new version in time. If the opt-out cl American basketball and sportswear brand by Nike For the defunct airline, see Air Jordan (airline). Air Jordan is a line of Basketball and sportswear shoes produced by Nike, Inc. Related apparel and accessories are marketed under Jordan Brand. The first Air Jordan shoe was produced for basketball player Michael Jordan during his time with the Chicago Bulls on November 17, , and released to the public on April 1, The shoes were designed for Nike by Peter Moore, Tinker Hatfield, and Bruce Kilgore. The Jordan Logo, known as the "Jumpman", originated from a photograph by Jacobus Rentmeester, taken before Jordan played for Team USA in the Summer Olympics. As Michael Jordan entered his rookie year in , he was approached to sign a shoe deal with Adidas, Converse, and Nike. In their meeting with Jordan, Nike centered its presentation around a highlight video of Jordan's various slam dunks, scored to "Jump (For My Love)" by the Pointer Sisters. Nike showcased the first design of the shoe, but Jordan criticized its colorway. While other companies saw Jordan as a figure for promoting preexisting shoe lines, Nike took Jordan's criticism into account to make him "a stand alone star and give him a signature shoe line." On October 26, , Michael Jordan signed a five-year, US$ million deal with Nike, three times more than any other deal in the National Basketball Association (NBA) at the time. Nike released the Air Jordan sneaker line in April with the goal of making $3 million in the first three years. Sales greatly exceeded expectations, earning $ million in one year. The NBA policy stated that the shoes must be 51% white and in accordance with the shoes that the rest of the team was wearing. Failure to follow this policy resulted in a $5, fine per game (equivalent to $15, in ). Nike designed the
