2010 Official 100 Best hip-Hop web Sites, Pt. 1

At this point, imagining hip-hop without the internet is like imagining modern life without electricity—vaguely comprehensible but clearly tedious, inconvenient and primitive. Whether the World Wide web is actually the new streets is debatable, but the ease of exchanging music, words and ideas has forever altered the way hip-hop is created, marketed, distributed, sold and discussed. Albums, singles and videos leak online first. iTunes has replaced both local record stores and national chains. And Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and MySpace are increasingly narrowing the distance between artists and their fans. In an effort to help readers wade through the ever-deepening stream of information, XXL has assembled a list of the 100 Best Hip-Hop Web Sites: Blogs, lyrics archives, MP3 downloads, artist pages and digital record pools are all included here. Get your clique on point with the point and click.

Starting a fashion clothing Store

Ever wanted to make use of you fashionizta-sort of talents to make some profits? Well then, you came to the right place. Here I’ll teach you some of the basics of starting a fashion clothing store. Now why would a fashion clothing store be perfect for someone like you? Well, the only best way for you to use your talents in sensing the hottest trends in fashion is through setting up your own fashion clothing shop. Here you’ll make good use of that talent of yours. And the good thing about it is that you’ll have a lot of fun.

But hold on a sec! Before you go and start that business of yours, you should first know the basics of setting up a fashion clothing store.

First of all, setting up a fashion clothing store or shop doesn’t only mean providing the best and the trendiest collection of clothing lines (yet it does play a major role in a fashion clothing store’s success). A fashion clothing store, like any other businesses, requires good management, timely maintenance, and a strong willed heart. Without these important business minded characteristics, then your business won’t run for too long. So let’s begin…

The Start of the Journey

Most successful fashion clothing stores have a few things in common: competitive prices, a great selection of clothes such as a sean john clothing, a house of dereon collection, or rocawear clothes, and accessories, attractive packaging (marketing) and yes, a catchy name/brand/tag. Thinking of a name for your business is a tricky endeavor. You obviously want your patrons to remember your store, but you also want them to associate the name of the store with your merchandise. These things are important so make sure you take a note on this.

Now before you open your own fashion clothing store or fashion boutique, you may want to think about what “theme” or specialization of clothes you may want to sell. There are a lot, a few examples include: bridal or wedding boutique, business clothing boutique, casual wear/rough gear/street clothes, children’s wear boutique, couture, formal wear boutique, lingerie, maternity store, men’s wear boutique, special size boutiques (petites, plus size, tall, etc.,) sports wear/active wear, teen gear, women’s wear boutique, etc.

Now there are two kinds of fashion clothing store or shop that you can choose from, a retail fashion store and fashion boutique. So what’s the difference about it?

Well retail fashion specializes in selling new clothing products created by fashion designers which may (or may not) be dictated by celebrity trends, whereas fashion boutiques are more chic or upscale. Personalized service, cozy ambience and unique merchandise are offered here – and patrons of such places usually expect nothing less.

Now it’s up to you whether you wanted to be a fashion clothing retailer or an owner of a fashion clothing boutique. Remember, choose the one you’re most comfortable with. It’s all in your decision.

Planning Ahead

Now before you can see your business material, its important that you should plan all the things needed for you fashion clothing store to run smoothly, without the worry of encountering too much problems at the middle of it.

Business and Financial Planning

Planning, as I said, is very important, especially if you plan about your business processes and financial capacities. Financial management is made easy because of tools such as Excel that can really help in managing your business and accounting. Software tools are also for easier management of your fashion clothing store.

Also, do not forget to include your start-up cost such as the rent for your shop, the money needed for your opening day, salaries and wages for your employees (if any), taxes, insurances, and other business miscellaneous. This is important, for much of the assets would be coming from your personal funds or savings and how much were loaned or borrowed. These things should be cleared out before opening your fashion clothing shop to minimize the chance for you to encounter such problems.

Location Planning

Another huge factor about launching your own fashion clothing store is your business location. Malls are popular places for such stores, but they do come with steep rents, and a lot of competition. Stores that sell outside such establishments may have less overhead expenses but may also have less foot traffic. Your prospective market may also be an important element in choosing your business location.

So you should ensure that the location is located in a high-traffic area and close to places such as schools, hip clubs and restaurants. Put your store inside a mall (if you have the budget for it), but avoid placing it next to another retail fashion clothing store or fashion clothing boutique. Otherwise, you would be competing with veteran fashion clothing store owners.

In order to assess competitiveness and presence, you would need to perform a market research in order to look at the demographics in the location you plan to put up your fashion clothing store. See what other fashion clothing store can provide and what they cannot provide.

Take for example, if your competitor has a large collection of house of dereon jeans and skirts but lesser with sean john clothing T-shirts and hoodies, then you should sell those sean john clothing T-shirts and hoodies rather than selling those house of dereon jeans and skirts. Well with your talent in this part, it’ll be a lot easier to out-perform them.

Stock Planning

It is also important that you can provide some of the most popular branded clothing lines, such as sean john clothing, house of dereon, rocawear, or Apple bottoms. You can buy this directly from the manufacturers, but you could also buy it from a distributor such as Ebay. But apart from Ebay, other online clothing shops or wholesale clothing shops can provide such things such as Streetzwear and Seven Wholesale.

Here is a short list of what you should include in your collections:

· The sean john clothing

· Apple bottoms Jeans

· house of dereon

· akademiks

· rocawear

· meezan

· mizkeen

· l.e.i

· makaveli

Now this list is no means final, and can be change if you liked. These are only examples of what people commonly look for in a fashion clothing shop. You are free to choose whatever brand you like, the important thing is for you to provide what the customers wants and needs.

Price Planning

Pricing is important, as with the quality of the merchandise. Some clothing stores manage to pull off slightly higher pricing from its peers, but only because they have already established their brand names in the market. Since you are only starting or launching this business, you may want to refer to popular prices among your competitors. The quality of your merchandise should also be a great concern to you. Nothing will lose you more customers faster than poorly made clothes passed off as “fashionable” wear with very dear price tags.

marketing Plan

Before opening your doors, it’s important that people around you know that you’re opening your fashion clothing store at this day and at this time. This can be done by advertising your store. Weeks or months prior to your opening day, ensure that you have mailed or distributed fliers, set up ads in the advertising section of your local newspaper, post bill-boards and flashy signs at a corner near your store. If you could, you could hire people to distribute fliers to passing people, or just seek some help from your families and friends.

Designer Sunglasses – Learn About the Different Brands

There are now many different brands of designer sunglasses which have either evolved in their own right, such as Ray Ban or Oakley, or have been created as an accessory to the fashion house brands, such as Gucci and Versace etc. This article examines the backgrounds to these different designer brands, tracing back to their roots and finding out how they were first created and grew into the well-known high street fashion brands that we all desire to wear. Learn about Oakley, Rayban, Dolce and Gabbana, Diesel, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Prada, Tommy Hilfiger, and Versace.

1. Oakley Sunglasses

Oakley is mostly known for their quality sunglasses and ski goggles, and was founded by Jim Jannard in California,USA in 1975, where he developed motorbike hand grips, and then sold them at motocross events. He called them “The Oakley Grip”, and were very different to any other grips riders had been using. In the 1980’s he moved on to goggles and sunglasses, and is now a world leader in innovative design, creating new and exciting products.

UV and impact protection

Plutonite is used for all Oakley lenses. It is made of polycarbonate, making the lenses lightweight, offering superior comfort, clarity and protection against ultraviolet radiation and impact resistance. In fact, this impact resistant material blocks out 100% of all UVA, UVB and UVC radiation. The protection is formulated into the lens material, as opposed to a thin surface film that can become scratched, leaving dilated pupils exposed to ultraviolet leaks. Shielding has nothing to do with the darkness or colour of the lens, so even clear non-tinted Oakley lenses will still provide full UV protection.

The wrapped around, raked-back design of Oakley eyewear provides further protection by blocking UV from the periphery. The lens materials and frame geometries of Oakley sunglasses provide unsurpassed protection against high-velocity and high-mass impact.

Iridium lens coatings

This is a uniform filtering layer that optimizes contrast and minimizes glare, created by super-heated metallic oxides being fused to the lens at a molecular level, permanently bonding to the lens. Tuned to transmit from 9 to 92% of available light, the coatings are specifically formulated for optimal balance between reflection, transmission and absorption.

Polarization

Every single pair of Oakley polarized sunglasses achieves 99.9% efficiency in blocking polarized light waves. Harsh glare is caused by light waves bouncing off flat surfaces and water, and can be up to 10 times as bright as ambient light. With Oakley polarized lenses you’ll definitely keep the sun from impeding your vision.

Oakley’s polarization technology surpasses industry standards for clarity, performance and durability. Common techniques of incorporating polarization films into lenses by lamination (using adhesive to sandwich the film between lens layers) and drop forming (sandwiching then heating and pressing over contoured forms) can cause haziness and optical distortion. Oakley uses an injection-moulding process to infuse the lens material around the filter. This liquid fusion creates bonding at a molecular level, allowing the filter to achieve the highest possible level of performance.

Hydrophobic (repels water)

The hydrophobic lenses repel water, oil perspiration and dust. Liquids simply bead off the lens surface without streaking, and any liquids that do not slide off the lens by gravity can be more easily wiped away than with other makes of sunglasses, making cleaning your lenses a breeze.

Oleophobic (repels oils)

The oleophobic characteristics end the frustration experienced with oils, fingerprints and other smudges on conventional eyewear. These marks on your Oakley sunglasses will easily wipe away without residue, eliminating leftover haze and reducing the effort required to clean the lenses.

Anti-static

The anti-static properties mean that dust, dirt and other particles are not drawn to the lens via static electricity. Dirt and dust degrade optical clarity, prompt more frequent cleaning and increase the likelihood of scratching.

3-Point fit

Oakley sunglasses are engineered to maintain a comfortable, secure fit. The company’s patented “Three-Point Fit” ensures that each frame makes contact only at the bridge of the nose and behind the temples. This retains optics in perfect alignment and eliminates the discomfort of ordinary frames that hook the ears and mount with unbalanced pressure points. Some earstems are sheathed in “unobtainium”, an Oakley innovation that actually increases grip with perspiration.

Unobtainium

This is the name of Oakley’s hydrophilic (water-attracting) synthetic rubber that increases grip when wet, usually applied to the contact points of the sunglasses (nose and sides of the head). A very similar material was used in Oakley’s first product, the “Oakley grips”, used on motorcycle hand grips (mentioned earlier).

Frame composition

Engineering breakthroughs in structural materials allow Oakley to produce lightweight, high performance eyewear frames that maintain superior comfort and protection. The polymers used in “O Matter” frames (a nylon composite) are formulated for high durability, as well as controlled flexibility for improved safety during impact. To produce the ultra–strong, ultra-lightweight chassis of Oakley wire frames, five metallic compounds (including titanium) are fused into a single C-5 alloy. Both frame materials maintain resistance to ultraviolet radiation, humidity, thermal shock and chemical exposure.

X Metal

Oakley “X Metal” is a titanium alloy, and is the only 3-D sculpted, hypoallergenic, all-metal frame on earth. Its phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio maximizes comfort and durability. To maintain precise optical geometries, production pieces are analysed under real-time X-ray scanning and undergo five-axis machining in computerized systems that maintain 0.0005” tolerance.

2. Ray-Ban Sunglasses

Ray-Ban was founded in 1937 as a manufacturer of quality sunglasses. Ray-Ban introduced the two most imitated sunglasses in the world, the “Aviator” (issued free to the United States air force pilots) and the “Wayfarer”.

It all started in 1920 when lieutenant John MacCready returned from a balloon flight, complaining that the bright sun had permanently damaged his eyes. He asked Bausch & Lomb to develop a pair of sunglasses that would not only provide the necessary protection, but also look good. A few years later, in 1937, Bausch & Lomb produced the “Anti-Glare”, consisting of a lightweight gold-plated metal frame and green-tinted mineral glass lenses, which filtered out the ultraviolet rays. Pilots in the United States air force were issued these “Aviator” sunglasses free of charge. The aviator style soon became famous when, during World War 2, General Douglas MacArthur landed on the beaches in the Philippines. Photographers recorded the moment, and their pictures showed him wearing these aviator sunglasses – which then soon became popular all over America.

Ray-Bans have been used in various Hollywood films, starting with “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” in 1961, starring Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly. The “Blues Brothers”, starring Dan Akroyd and John Belushi showed them famously wearing their “Wayfarer” style Ray-Bans. We mustn’t forget, of course, Tom cruise in the 1983 film “Risky business”. In 2006, the Honda Formula One Racing team members all wore the Ray-Ban 4075 model during the racing season.

Ray-Ban is now owned by the Luxottica group, and their headquarters are in Italy. Ray-Ban sunglasses continue to be very popular with a large range of exciting styles.

3. Dolce and Gabbana Sunglasses

Dolce and Gabanna is a high-end fashion house, founded by Italian designers Domenico Dolce from Palermo, Sicily, and Stefano Gabanna from Milan, Italy. Dolce and Gabanna are very popular among the Hollywood stars, designing clothes for Kylie Minogue, Madonna and many others. Although the two men separated in 2005, the business remains unchanged and both Dolce and Gabanna continue to design together. They endeavour to create the best designs, rather than being concerned with starting trends, and just glancing through their collection you can see for yourself that the designs are absolutely stunning.

4. Diesel Sunglasses

The Diesel brand has been around since 1978, manufacturing jeans and casual clothing, along with accessories,including Diesel sunglasses. Diesel products can be purchased from around 10,000 shops and boutiques all over the world.

The Diesel company was founded by Renzo Rosso in 1978. He and his design team always wanted to lead their own path in fashion, being slightly different from the norm, and so Diesel has become a fashion leader, rather than a fashion follower. Their manufacturing methods and quality control guarantees an outstanding quality product, with an individual style that is refreshingly different from the usual trends. So, if you want to have that certain look of individuality and style, then Diesel sunglasses are well worth considering.

5. Gucci Sunglasses

Gucci is perhaps one of the worlds most prestigious and famous fashion brands. It was founded by Guccio Gucci in Florence, Italy in 1921. Gucci is the biggest selling Italian brand in the world and has about 425 stores around the world. They also hold the world record for the most expensive pair of jeans ever made – an amazing US $3,134, in Milan in 1998!

In 1938 Gucci expanded, and opened a boutique in Rome. Guccio Gucci himself designed many of the company’s most notable products, such as the bamboo-handled handbag in 1947, which is still manufactured today. Four of his sons helped in running the company and leading it forwards, and after their father’s death in 1953, Aldo Gucci was instrumental in opening the company’s first boutiques in London, Paris and New York.

Like many companies, the Gucci company has had its ups and downs over the years through family quarrels and poor business decisions, but despite this, Gucci remains one of the premier luxury goods brands in the world. Have a look at a few Gucci sunglasses and you will soon see that the designs embody that sense of luxury and extravagance. So, if you want to get noticed, there’s nothing quite like a pair of “Gucci’s” to give you that sense of feeling special and sophisticated. You’ll always be glad you invested in a pair of Gucci sunglasses!

6. Hugo Boss Sunglasses

Hugo Boss is a well known fashion brand extending worldwide, with a chain of shops in over 100 countries and an annual turnover of half a billion dollars.

Hugo Boss founded his clothing company in Germany, in 1923 near Stuttgart, where he is still based today. Despite bankruptcy in 1930, due to the difficult economic climate in Germany at that time, he set up a new business in 1931, and supplied the uniforms of the SS guards. Hugo Boss died in 1948, but his business carried on, and began making suits. In the late 50’s, 60’s and 70’s fashion began to really take off, and Hugo Boss suits soon became known for their fashionable quality.

Like many other fashion names, the company has diversified into fragrances and also, of course, the stunning Hugo Boss sunglasses. When others around you notice you’re wearing Hugo Boss sunglasses, they won’t fail to be impressed.

7. Prada Sunglasses

Prada was created in 1913 by Mario Prada in Milan, Italy. He designed handbags, shoes, suitcases etc, and the brand now signifies luxury and style. Miuccia Prada, Mario’s granddaughter, took over the company in 1978, and moved the Prada label forwards, designing a new look handbag – simple and sleek – and now Prada stands for elegant clean lines with luxurious fabrics and materials.

Accessories, such as Prada sunglasses, are also extremely high quality, again showing those elegant clean lines with attention to detail that give Prada sunglasses their subtle style and classy image. The Prada brand is renowned worldwide, and the distinct Prada triangular logo is instantly recognizable. As soon as you put on a pair of Prada sunglasses you soon realize you own something special.

8. Tommy Hilfiger Sunglasses

Tommy Hilfiger comes from a large family in New York state, America. While still at school, he started his career making jeans, in 1969. With no formal training, he started designing clothes that were different from the usual styles. He moved to New York city in 1979 to further his fashion career, and brought out his first collection in 1985. He has since won numerous awards, not only for designing clothes and accessories, but also for his work in helping young American teenagers, encouraging them to improve in their education, and promoting their physical well-being (through playing sports, etc).

Tommy Hilfiger sunglasses have a special style all of their own, with a distinguished trendy look that is refreshingly different – sure to get you noticed as someone with taste and an eye for style. In a word – stunning!

9. Versace Sunglasses

Gianni Versace was born in Reggio di Calabria, Italy. His mother was a dressmaker, so Gianni began to learn about clothing at an early age, helping his mother find precious stones and gold braid which could be embroidered onto the dresses.
