British traditional shirtmaker Hawes & Curtis has collaborated with the National Army Museum to create a collection animated by the regalia Queen Elizabeth II wore as a young princess during the Second World War. From 1949 to 1953 Princess Elizabeth carried out her duties as an Honorary Brigadier in the Women's Royal Army Corps (WRAC) before abdicating these assignments on becoming Queen in 1953.     Specializing in luxury shirts and masterly tailoring since 1913, Hawes & Curtis was the shirtmaker chosen to make the khaki chemise and tie for Princess Elizabeth's Women's Royal Army Corps costume in 1949. The coordinated outfit has been on permanent display at the National Army Museum since they acquired it in 1993, following the dissolution of the Women's Royal Army Corps.     Hawes & Curtis has taken the favorable circumstances to reveal its exceptional tradition by developing a limited edition collection inspired by Princess Elizabeth's Arm

Po Chu-i put language down on paper in a simple clear fashion.     Clear formation of mental objects and common sense insight informs all his work.     He was a recluse at heart and passed years in comparative isolation.     Po's established practice was to test his compositions on an ancient rural woman, rejecting anything she could not comprehend.

Tank Girl because she is the superlative girl power counterculture symbol. Asterix because he drove back the invading Romans with the help of a strength activating elixir and his loyal friend Obelix. The Phantom because he is  the best.

Hsu Yun was an acclaimed Ch'an Buddhist adept with an ageless mind.     A dynamic mythos in his own time, his spirit and archetype have kindled admiration and encouragement beyond his transition at the age of 120 on Mount Yun-ju .     My favorite is his juvenalia The Song of the Skin Bag.

Jinkag Haesim was an accomplished monk and the compiler of Verses on Ancient Precedents.     This book is a refining of Zen principles and practice, a Korean petrichor .     The full title is Comprehensive Collection of the Ch'an School's Verses on Ancient Precedents That Are a String of Jewels.

As the center of attraction transfers to a circular economy, sustainable fashion will evolve from being a carte du jour of disparate initiatives to being an elemental and defining part of the entire fashion value chain.     Sustainability has been fixated on the production phase, but to a greater extent, wearers must encourage reuse and recycling. This practice involves constant attention to improving all stages of the product lifecycle. With the agency of expanding information networks and brand transparency, wearers will be exceptionally equipped to reduce textile waste and environmental exhaustion.     Besides the three trends of shifting to sustainable materials, learning to design for durability, and embracing circular economy ethics, is the will to change. Like the nimble and agile disruptive businesses, some fashion industry giants are reconstructing the way they do business.     Experiments in emotionally durable design are helping to build new assumptions about

Jakushitsu Genko was a Zen adept of the Rinzai sect.     He is recognized for his asceticism, affability, flute playing, and poetry. Perhaps his most notable attribution is 'Why pursue words when one truly seeks silence?'

Daigu Ryokan was a peaceful and idiosyncratic Soto Zen monk who lived much of his life as a recluse.   Detached from the monastic association of his seminary and from material burdens he lived in poverty and solitude.     He left us some fourteen hundred poems mainly composed in the classic forms of tanka and waka with a lesser number of haiku.

Ta-hui Tsung-kao was a monk associated with the Lin-chi school of Ch'an Buddhism.     He introduced the method of examining the critical expression of a koan version.     Ta-hui is most well-known for contending the practice of silent sitting is calculated to produce barren emptiness and lifeless escapism.

Few works remain from Ch'an teacher Fa-yen Wen-i.     Well trained and erudite as a young man, his aphorisms were distinguished by contradiction and ambiguity.     If you must comprehend the essence of buddha nature, then pay attention to what is going on.

Wang Wei was an ingenious landscape painter, calligrapher, musician, and poet.     His work often took a Buddhist view, joining consideration of the refinements of nature with an appreciation of sensory illusion.     He signed his works Wang Weimojie as Wei-mo-je was a reference to Vimalakirti, the pivotal character of the Buddhist sutra by that name.

Yung-chia Hsuan-chueh was a philosopher and a monk and is considered one of the most talented teachers of Zen.     In his silence, ultimately a form of mental objects moved. Speechless, he opened his mouth.     H e was apart from the discrimination of speech, yet he spoke words.     His compassionate heart compelled him to express the inexpressible.    

Seng-Ts'an called on the second Patriarch, Hui-k'o, asking that the master purify him.     The answer motivated Seng-Ts'an to become a monk under Hui-k'o, leading to his awareness and succession as Patriarch.     The compilation of his work is titled Hsin  Hsin Ming, which has been diversely interpreted in English as Inscribed on the Believing Mind, On  Trust in the Heart, and The Mind of Absolute Trust.

Bodhisattvas should become adept at examining the two kinds of phenomena that have no self. And what are the two kinds of phenomena that have no self? Neither beings nor dharmas have a self.

Su Shih was a poet, essayist, calligrapher, and painter, who continually cultivated his optimism.     He was educated at an exclusive independent school founded by a Taoist priest. His prose poetry displays Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian influences, as well as that of earlier Chinese poets, who Su appropriated from without restriction.

Muso Soseki was a Rinzai Zen Buddhist monk, calligrapher, poet, and landscape architect.     He first trained under the direction of a Chinese teacher but failed miserably.     He later studied with the Japanese Zen master Koho Kennichi and began to develop a profound awakening.     In the real world the pure world no separation exists.

Hongzhi Zhengjue was one of the more realized Chan masters of the Song dynasty.     Hongzhi was a polished, poetic writer and a prominent teacher at his monastery on Mount Tianti , where Dogen Zenji , the creator of Soto Zen in Japan, would become one of his adherents.    

A little-known ninth-century Chinese poet and recluse called himself Han-Shan (Cold Mountain). Most of his mythos highlights his eccentricities and his visits to Buddhist temples for part-time work and to ridicule the monks' self-importance. His legacy is over three hundred poems of remarkable beauty in the Taoist and Chan traditions.

Gido Sushin , leading light of the Zen Rinzai sect, was a master of poetry and prose. He came from Tosa on the island of Shikoku where he began traditional studies of Confucian and Buddhist literature. His devotional inclinations were motivated when he saw the brutal death of a clan member. Like others, he took his first vows on Mount Hiei . Gido 's life was changed forever by a visit to the preeminent Zen master Muso Soseki in 1341. He became the master's assistant after his own fruitless pilgrimage to China. In 1380 Gido was invited by the reigning shogun, Yoshimitsu, to live in his household in Kyoto. Gido 's last years passed instructing Yoshimitsu in Confucian and Buddhist disciplines.

Tesshu Tokusai was one of the most important individuals in the Zen coterie of fourteenth-century Tokyo. He journeyed to China when he was in his early twenties to further his studies of Zen, acquiring direction from some of the most esteemed Chan monks of the period. He is best known today for his orchid and geese paintings and his bokusei.

Always be ready and able to give your attention to individuals and combines you care about.     Even when you do not know how the botheration you will do it all.     It comes back to you subsequently in ways you cannot imagine.

Artistry is a real piece of the advertising world.     The entire objective of advertising is not just to sell humans contrivances they mostly do not need.    McCann Erickson is a real advertising agency.     Cannes is articulated as 'can', but with a French accent.

War, peace, darkness, light, lies, truth, fiction, corruption, pleasure, stress, partying, business.     The ruins of Kombinat Stalin Textiles Factory.     The headquarters of Coca-Cola Albania.

Whenever I needed anything fixed, cleaned, or assembled, I would reach for the Snibbo.     Snibbo was usually a laundry detergent with a tendency to remove stains, buttons, and skin.     Like all great brands, Snibbo ceased to exist before it began imitating itself.
