Can Epigenetics Shine a Light On Fat

I found some photos of when I started my PhD in Space Telecommunications, its been on pause for some time just like these photos. I have been deep diving into the world of Epigenetics and that word that is like Kryptonite to many in the fashion world let alone the movie business. Its all ok until you start gaining weight or God forbid actually let yourself go and become Fat.

Epigenetics is about shining the light of what drives your fat genes in conditions that can be changed eg your either on or your off. Lots of environmental factors can determine them

What happens if you get Fat from factors outside your control like a course of antibiotics or getting sick. Some data suggestes that infections can actually turn your fat epigenetic on. Interesting

There are 11 types of Female Body Archetypes

There is 56% of female archetypes that have more fat than 44% of other female archetypes

16% of these 56% have the most amount of fat of all the female archetypes

Yet the fashion industry only cut their patterns for 1 of 11 female body archetypes what happens to the other 10 female body archtypes.

Like Joan from Mad Men

and The Presidents Wife in Scandal

This is really interesting stuff, men have less body fat than women and women have 11 different body types and need really 11 different patterns to be made for clothes to really fit them.

Its a jungle out there in the change rooms and the bedrooms at home all these female body archetypes trying to fit into something that is cut for 32 24 32 when they are 36 28 42 how does that work.

Environmental variables such as nutrition and lifestyle may contribute to this tendency. These variables have the ability to change gene expression without affecting the DNA sequence, which is a phenomenon known as epigenetics.

Are we still British if we didn’t Brexit today?

Today was supposed to be the biggest day in British history since well maybe March.

Not sure about you but there comes a time in £££~~#33# $$$$$ global girl or guys life when all this digital disruption from Brexit just gets in the way of what to pack in your suitcase

2560px-Flag_of_Great_Britain_(1707–1800).svg

Do you have to fly back to vote? Do you have to fly back to be there to watch Big Ben strike midnight on the Day we become more British than British.

Seriously I am asking myself what happens if all this debating about Scotland becoming independent does to Brand British or Brand Britain. Are we at the point that it could be considered less British if you voted remain or now your more British if you voted leave?

Back in 1707 before the acts of Union the commonwealth flag looked a little like this not exactly the easiest design for Austin Powers to have on his knickers

1920px-Flag_of_The_Commonwealth.svg

The election on 12th of December could make things a little difficult for Austin Powers

So as an emerging trend for Spring Summer 2022 and Autumn Winter 2023 do we plan for a new British flag lingerie & swim collections

Or as part of the Brexit divorce England and the amendments to the Withdrawal Bill London & England gets to keep the Flag ??

Think all the iconic images of British Pop, art, film fashion what happens if it becomes vintage overnight?

Posted in Academic Research, Anniversary, Braconomics, Harlette, Lingerie, lingerie fittings, Middle East, POLITICS, Saudi Arabia, Uncategorized with tags , , , on June 17, 2019 by harlette

Its the 10 year anniversary of when Reem invited the Founder of Harlette Luxury Lingerie & Swimwear Naomi McGill B.IT, MBA to hold a lingerie class to assist women who were entering the workforce to sell lingerie. Until then only men were allowed to sell lingerie in stores.

Reem Asaad created the Saudi lingerie campaign in 2008 and within a few years the campaign’s impact changed the laws in Saudi for women to work in 2011.

Thomas w Lippman covered the story of the lingerie campaign in his book Saudi Arabia on the Edge – An Uncertain Future of an American Ally.

The media is awash with the news of offshore investments Panama Gate, resignations of Iceland’s Prime Minister, but something that caught my attention was an article in the guardian on sweat shops in Myanmar.

#NormCom Revolution Paris Nana’s in Knickers

Posted in Fashion Week, France, Lingerie, Lingerie Models, Paris, Underwear, Womens Empowerment with tags , , , on January 26, 2016 by harlette

Imagine the catwalk bursting into life and colour as the first lingerie silhouettes take flight and sounds fill the air like hungry ghosts reminding you, I don’t think about you anymore but I don’t think about you any less

There is acrobatic ribbon dancing and a sweet serenade between lovers embracing and climbing on each other as the show intensifies.

Then, arrives without warning, a moment when you scratch your head, and ask really is this what people want?

Reality

Well in Paris on the 25th of January 2016, that is what the crowd clapped and cheered for. In the Garden of Eden, enchantment surrounded, elegance and the best succulent designs from around the globe were not cheered, were not celebrated they were treated as the expected, the mundane, the average and the same.

CZgyKryW0AEqWEq

In a moment of frenzy, what you see in every house around the world in basic traditional colours. Erupted a reaction that one can only describe as Incredible.

Claps and Cheers for “Nana’s in Knickers” as they skipped and sauntered their way through Lingerie Paris catwalk on a Sunday afternoon.

WP_20160124_14_48_48_Pro

There is a movement of people #JOMO (joy of missing out) and celebrating disconnecting from it all, going to bed at 10pm and getting up a 4am doing life like our grandparents did.

Now with what was on the catwalk in Paris are we going to be looking to our grandparents to be style icons?

Will the ROMCom all white t shirt, blue jeans, white tennis shoes stars from friends be replaced with NormCom, and Nana’s and styles to be defined by normal hair shades, normal colour palettes.

Is this what society craves right now, Normal?

Or is it something more delicious than this?

That Femininity of all ages is timeless, that no age group is going to be left out. That the catwalk is no longer something exclusive for a younger female form.

Big Questions

Is there a revolution starting in Paris that will permeate the annuals of Fashion?

At the Paris Opera, there was a live band, playing The Specials Message to Rudy

Stop your messing around (ah-ah-ah)
Better think of your future (ah-ah-ah)
Time you straighten right out (ah-ah-ah)
Creating problems in town (ah-ah-ah)

The song permeated what was going on the catwalks, at the core of life, right now its about basics, settling down, accepting what is. The future is very much unknown, but we are going to need the strength and wisdom of all our family, friends, and all age groups to get where we all need to go to in 2016.

Its all about celebration of #NormCore from Paris, with the Designer of the Year being Hanro.
