In the U.S. funding, the name of luxury, such as discount
28th June (IFR) - LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton luxury goods in the world's largest and most renowned empires is not the first name that comes to mind when you think of super-cheap price.
That is, if you have the U.S. bond market, where LVMH made its debut this week, thinking of taking advantage of low prices along with 14 other non-US companies, including iconic brands such as Heineken and Danone Europe again this year.
This is an unprecedented debut of Yankee enterprise - there was only one in the first half of 2011, and eight for the whole year - and the quality of name is that it is difficult to believe that they are not in dollars bonds issued before.
Samsung, for example, began in April with a $ 1 billion annually for five years, Volkswagen International Finance, and establish prices in the entire yield curve at a time in March when it issued U.S. $ 3.35bn of 18 months, two, three and five years U.S. grades for the first time.
Other international names, foreign less known, but national champions have returned home, made the trip. CEZ, the first program in the Czech Republic, made his debut in March with $ 1 billion of 10 - and 30-year bonds, as well as China's Sinopec oil and chemical company, with $ 3 billion in five, 10 and 30 years bonds.
The savings are great, especially for European issuers, by arbitration, if the issuer sold dollars for euros.
A high level by 75 basis points on outstanding targets 2017S and 2017S 85bp on lower-rated Heinz - LVMH, for example, has spent $ 850 million five-year bonds at 95bp over Treasuries.
But the premium was a Yankee basin compared to the 25-30BP over Euribor in the dollar swap deal. In comparison, its outstanding euro-denominated trade around 60bp over mid-swaps 2018s.
Price, but the price
As such no-brainers offers virtual prices, it is not the only incentive.
"Corporate treasurers are increasingly come outside the United States to the conclusion that there is a need to have a presence on the market in the U.S. dollar," said Jim Glascott, head of the global debt capital markets with Barclays.
"This awareness continues to lead the broadcast debut, as the United States nor the companies that get into the U.S. market, so they are well positioned to access it," he said.
No coincidence that the jump occurs in the issuer's Yankee debut together with the participants, which was seen in the show diving undertook exhaustive efforts to broaden the base station.
"The composition is based on the issuer changed significantly this year," Steven Becton, Head of Capital Markets investment-grade debt at Citigroup said.
"Much of the volume, which was held by financial institutions, has been replaced by non-US companies have been. Issuance of this group more than 35% for the first half of 2012 has increased over the same period in 2011."
Output of non-US banks is booming at about 25% to about U.S. $ 69 billion in the first half of this year, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, compared to levels in the first six months of record in 2011.
Total Financial Institutions Group (FIG), the program is about U.S. $ 170 billion so far this year to about 29% over the same period in 2011.
At the same time the non-financial expenditure increased to U.S. $ 118.5bn Yankee so far this year - and most of which is the United Kingdom and Europe. UK and European companies have raised about 49% more this year than they did in the first half of 2011, according to Bank of America Merrill.
The outlook for the second half of the year as a whole is less emission due to the U.S. presidential elections and the debate over impending budget cuts, the U.S. government has a mandate to do if the debt brake is not extended.

The recession hurt consumer confidence, with feelings of Americans regarding their current and future financial stability fell by 25 percent in 2008, while the per capita income declined in 2009, is available for the first time, the maggot in almost two decades.
But as the Americans took leave of blingy watches, $ 50 Kobe burger, and it seemed like, wall to wall coverage of Paris Hilton, she beckoned in a new, less conspicuous kind of luxury. And even changed the scene of high-end consumers, it's like a fresh bottle of champagne appeared, full of an estimated $ 1.5 trillion in sales in 2012, according to a report released today IBISWorld.
What does this new consumer research from what is intended as a "luxury light" be?
Here is what IBIS has to say:
Labels and luxury for less: has purchasing habits have changed, but the desire to designer clothes, accessories and footwear slowed a bit. Rapid turnover as gold, haute look, RueLaLa and Ideeli are part of a scene, always crowded, but that does not mean that there is no more room to grow. Since 2007, approximately 73 new sites have sprung on sample sales, and IBIS is that 89 expected by the end of this year. As for brands, a report by Brand Keys released today shows that the importance of brand name has more than tripled since 2008. Its index Ralph Lauren / Polo, in the lead as the top brand in 2012, by (2) his favorite sports team, (3) Armani (4) Nike and (5) Versace and Chanel in connection followed.
As for dealing with sites, they went from four in 2007 to 632 IBIS estimates by the end of 2012. Despite the loss of many during the past year and Groupon good suffering documented as a publicly traded company, remember this is a revenue-generator, which is not only not before the recession, and the expansion of product development and services have helped grow the industry "exponentially , "the report said. The number of local day spas and nail salon owner, companies not only get business locations, but apparently are free of recession, increased from 5003 in 2007 to over 5406 in 2012.

How to dominate the top 10 luxury brands, the world came
There is no purer form of marketing luxury brand marketing: It is an industry in which all customers drive perceptions. One slip and fall lists of most wanted Shoppers can quickly and brutally.
Luxury clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry and maybe even well-made, but they are not hard to do. The whole business depends on keeping consumers confident that the brand alone is worth extra for is.
So what is best for this?
Each year, one of the market research firm Millward Brown, the top 10 luxury brands in the world, based on "brand equity." The BrandZ enterprise model takes into account the dollar earnings of a brand, its future earning potential and quality of the brand in the mind of the consumer to reach a final "brand value" expressed in dollars.
We share this information with a description of the marketing plan for each brand: Now you know why the labels to bear the wear.
10th Burberry. Brand Value: $ 4 billion, up 21%
Burberry story is often told: Once upon a time there was a brand that has been insensitive to the stuffy upper classes of Great Britain. Then in the 1990s, he invented himself adorned with a full line of clothing in the Burberry plaid. The company saw £ 1900000000 sales last year. The company built to expand its reach, now offers an extension of the body and Burberry Burberry Prorsum collection of upscale clothing.
The company is also proud of their digital marketing. His website has a click-to-chat function and stores only sell iPads for customers who want to sail across the screen.
A word of warning: Burberry said that growth in China slowed its last financial update.
9th Moet & Chandon 4200000000 $ to 8%
Parent control LVMH Moët 1.697 hectares of Champagne in France is growing, according to its annual report. Its brands include Moët & Chandon, Dom Perignon, Veuve Cliquot and Krug, and together they constitute 18.3 percent of the global market. Good luck in the competition with Moet-French of the agency that sets limits on the regulation, the annual production Champagne controls.
LVMH and is transmitted mainly in the region, and competitors can not enter unless the company sells. It's a classic barriers to competition-situation created by government regulation. (Prosecco and cava are often just as good as champagne, but people want to celebrate special occasions with "the real thing.")
It is not surprising that € 1.8 billion in sales came mainly from LVMH champagne.
8th Hennessy. Brand Value: $ 4.6 billion at 8%
Hennessy story revolves around the barriers to competition, built after you have created a dominant position, provided that you have done that may be more than a century ago. Hennessy Cognac brand was the highest since 1890 and now holds 41.1 percent market share. Cognac unit of LVMH, part of the Diageo drinks division reported € 1.7 million in sales last year. (The value of the brand be dropped, because its market share, two years earlier, Hennessy sells a share of over 50 percent in bottles.)
Good luck finding a foray into this market: Hennessy has 177 acres of the Cognac region is growing, and actually reduces the pay area of 60 hectares in 1999 in a scheme to farmers to grow other types of grapes, said his annual report.
7th Cartier. Brand Value: $ 4.8 billion euros, down 9%

Here's how CEO Johann Rupert said, and we quote verbatim from recent results call Richemont
I will not say that this is sustainable. We have no idea what to do currencies.
... So, someone who will ask, "So what do you mean next year look like?" Why not ask the question not only because we do not answer that? It is not that we are shy or funny. We do not know. We do not want to do the currency, and we do not know if the Chinese continue to buy at infinity. We do not know.
... I feel like a black tie dinner at the top of a volcano am. Okay? This volcano is located in China, but that's what I feel. I am in the morning we will be better in our relationships and our watches and we are, and the food and the wine is better and the weather is great, but we fool ourselves. It is a volcano somewhere, be it this year, in ten years or twenty years. We are exposed to China. I think they are traveling more. I think it will survive. I think all these things, but we are now a "game from China," and it suits us, if the euro weakens.
6th Prada. Brand Value: $ billion 5.8, N / A
Prada store rose by 42 percent in the first Quarter of 2012, the Group recorded € 541.5 million of total revenue. Much of the success of Prada only one thing: a massive expansion in the number of branches. It opened 65 of them between April 2011 and April 2012.
Millward Brown said: "After the IPO (Initial Public Offering) in June 2011 raised on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which ($ 275 million) on € 206 million plans to Prada to add about 80 stores by year over the next three years with a total of 30 stores in China. Most jobs Prada will be branded stores, suggesting a general trend among luxury brands to assert tighter control over the brand by moving away from licensing and deductibles. brand currently operates over 200 stores worldwide and distributes an extensive network of wholesalers. "
5th Gucci. Brand Value: $ 6.4 billion, up 14%
Luxury goods holding company PPR frightened investors in the first quarter, noting that sales growth slowed in the fourth quarter of Gucci last year. "Slow" is a relative term. In 2011, sales amounted to € 3.2 billion, Gucci, up 18 percent over the previous year. They had a similar amount for the first quarter of 2012, as well. To 56 percent of sales come from Gucci handbags.
In the future, the Gucci posting a revision of his extravagant department stores, with digital video screens.
Unlike other luxury brands in a culture of almost obsessive secrecy about themselves (to say that exclusive, heavy), PPR more down-to-earth, how it intends to operate Gucci is that it acquired in 2004. He centralized media buying for all its brands (including Volcom and Puma). And it is constantly stirred to its supply chain factory to the store, which it owns, in whole or in control.
4th Chanel. Brand Value: $ 6.7 billion, up 2%
In the 1970s, after the death of Coco Chanel, the brand itself rescued by the list of dealers to sell the Chanel No. 5 of 18,000 to 12,000 and making it harder to find and more desirable.
Chanel head designer Karl Lagerfeld and have hard to ensure that the air of exclusivity (it does not sell products online, for example) to keep working, and the company has approximately € 1.8 billion pounds of revenue per year. But it has actually expanded its brand to more mass market again, as with Coco Mademoiselle sub-brand for young women.

Rolex is based on the majority of print ads and sponsorship of tennis players like Roger Federer, Ana Ivanovic, Andy Roddick and Justine Henin, but it can run ads on ESPN on major tennis tournaments.
Since 2008 the private company Rolex succeeded in spite of herself. The brand has a new leadership in 2008, as CEO Patrick Heiniger came for "personal reasons" after reports that it lost $ 900 million of company money in the Ponzi scheme of Bernie Madoff. He was Bruno Meier, who replaced the corporate culture of secrecy maintained. Then in 2011, Meier was replaced by Riccardo Marini, who was previously responsible for the Rolex Italia. The brand's flagship London store was sold last year for £ 12.5 million.
No one really knows if the company is healthy or not.

The company sees itself as guardian of the creativity and craftsmanship. But it is also financially disciplined, he sold his interest for Jean Paul Gaultier and recently expanded into household items. The chain has only 328 stores worldwide.
Annual report of the company is quite unpredictable. It describes the performance of last year as well, "Hermes spent 2011 with the lightness of the horse, who plays the obstacle."
First Louis Vuitton. Brand Value: $ 25900000000 by 7%
Louis Vuitton's strategy is to associate only with celebrities classic, iconic. His new campaign include Muhammad Ali, for example. The star has just finished Angelina Jolie sitting in a boat in Cambodia. Other stars who joined the brand are Mikhail Baryshnikov, with Annie Leibovitz, Pele with Maradona and Zinedine Zidane, with Bono and Ali Hewson.

union boss Elba Esther Gordillo maintains a stranglehold on the Mexican School
MEXICO CITY - Elba Esther Gordillo, the 67-year-old "life president" of the national teachers' union in Mexico, rarely ventures out in public without clothes and designer handbags from Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Hermes.
It bears the wealth and power, and they can go through the gates of Los Pinos, the Mexican White House, at any time. Sitting presidents and fear of his court.
Consistently as the least popular of the nation's most prominent figures in the ranks, friends and enemies know him simply as "Elba Esther" and "The Master".
His style is opaque and the strong hand and the personal wealth amassed, they emphasize the old Mexico of corrupt power and privilege in the 20th Century has reigned in his pockets as the nation inches toward modernity.
A native of Chiapas state in rural Mexico to the south, rose from a humble position Gordillo in a primary school in Nezahualcoyotl, a suburb of Mexico through the ranks of the largest union in Latin America to finally depressed sidekick and mistress of the union leaders. In 1989, knocked the then president, Carlos Salinas de Gortari him, the teachers' union, a backbone of strength for the Institutional Revolutionary Party - conducting PRI in its Spanish initials - he reigned from 1929 to 2000 and is expected to preside over the vote on first July to recover.
Significantly, the PRI candidate in 2012, Enrique Peña Nieto, the only of those who have the presidency, which has not committed to spending Gordillo on taking office.
Gordillo hoarse, made his passion and talent for his favorite plastic surgeon's scalpel it easy subject for cartoonists, but as the head of the union, Gordillo shows the calculation of steel to keep enemies out of balance, based on reasonable politicians in office and is serving the they consider potential internal opponents.
"It exile, if you tell yourself," said Aldo Munoz, an education researcher at the Autonomous University of Mexico State. "It brings together teams of people who are in confrontation. There are four people who send hate one another to perform a service."
She also has showers fans with generosity. In 2006, the newspaper Reforma Gordillo had 125 unionized teachers and subordinates, with their children during a seven-day cruise in the Pacific aboard the Pride of Hawaii, and later, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
When the media revealed it had ordered 59 lobsters to his senior staff in 2008, they announced that they had a raffle vehicles and pay for the renovation of 10 schools.
Critics speak of her in harsh tones and wild. A columnist in the newspaper El Universal, Lydia Cacho, the label 23 April as "one of the most malignant cancers" in Mexico. Foro In a televised debate in February, responded analyst Denise Dresser quick question, what would it Gordillo. "It pains me to say, but I think the general feeling that they die, perhaps in the next plastic surgery "
Gordillo has remained faithful, after they threw the PRI from power, as the party general secretary, and also as deputy federal and senator. But if the PRI candidate badly trailing edge of the presidential campaign of 2006, it triggered the second great schism in the party to meet its 83-year history. They took their support - and the Union - the party of Felipe Calderon's center-right National Action, the exchange for promises of jobs for family members and its main allies. The betrayal allowed Calderon to win by the narrowest margin in modern Mexican history squeak.
Gordillo has a nominal salary as director of the school, the equivalent of $ 2,070 per month, but his wealth far exceeds the salary which would allow.
Journalistic investigations over the years have identified 64 houses in Mexico City, office buildings, ranches and rural properties abroad, which are probably linked to Gordillo or her immediate family. Among them is a six-room house in La Jolla, California, Gordillo purchased nearly 1.7 million, according to a report in March in Mexico weekly Proceso. The house has seven bathrooms, a three-car garage, swimming pool and a private dock on the river, the magazine reported.
Gordillo talks to reporters only on rare occasions. His office declined requests for an interview during a period of six months and said she was too busy.
Political analysts say Gordillo possible departure from the political scene is not necessarily the beginning of an enlightened and democratic leadership.
"If we will send Elba Esther Jupiter, the person who takes his place, just do the same if the rules remain the same," Jorge Javier Romero, a political scientist at the Autonomous Metropolitan University, said.
"That's not it. This is an institutional problem."

mode Revisited
When was that? Three years ago? I went to buy something and I noticed a long curly eyelashes
nicely to the seller. I did that before. They sleep in the morning and take your lashes like
pillows. I could not control myself. Where you have your eyelashes?
She beamed. In our company, she said. Do you want? It was tempting, but I'm old now. Forty-five
years, I would have jumped at the chance. Then we wore false eyelashes every day. I was an expert
and could rely on mine in less than a minute. They made her face alive. Now they are back in
style. I could go back and re-use, except my face and my eye fell inches away. How can I glue
false eyelashes if I can not see a thing without my glasses?
In my 20's and 30 men I have admired. I would go in and people are turning to look at. Now I take
a walk and everyone thinks I'm as transparent as air, not just there. So, I am living just to
please.
I hate curtains. They gather too much dust, and they block out the light. Outside my window I see
the leaves and shade my room. But one day last year, they cut the trees. I had to think of
something to obstruct the view. When my oldest daughter, Risa, has a lot of things done for the
house. When they migrated to the United States for most of his business has stayed with me. I
decided to turn them into mobile. They now hang heavily in my window. His son, Nicc are, come to
me and I took a picture. He called the original hippie. Exactly! This is what I am.
Ours was a generation of extreme rebellion. We reversed the institution. What was your creation?
Institutions, the manner to be things. Due to our guts in the world is now more free than before.
The women learned to curse himself. I like curse, but now to control myself, because more people
do not swear. The hippies did the marriage because they felt constricted. Until the 50's a rather
conservative magazine Cosmopolitan, the short story was presented. In the '60s, he spoke of women
who are burning their bras, so that their husbands. The struggle against the institution intends
to break all the rules.
Now that fashion is back. I used to wear mini skirts, three inches below the hip. Then I had nice
legs. The office of my boss did not ask me ever to get back in the bottom drawer filing cabinet.
I crouch to get it. Then the girls who took the Jeep to work will wear basketball shorts under
their mini skirts. Well, they only wear shorts. We used to wear, what we call hot pants. All I
can say now is - what happened to my legs? In the past they have be awesome again Π.
Today, they maxi-dresses. Long dresses with one shoulder bare. When I was young, my robes tied
around my neck and in the middle of my back. We do not wear bras. Our breasts were young, tall
and proud. Now? Joan Rivers said it best. She complained about a man who tries by their
freshness. He was setting an ankle bracelet - a bracelet on his ankle and touched his chest. His
chest was so low. I laughed all night. Excellent joke. I wonder how many people he got.
And platform shoes! We wore platform shoes in the 60s. I remember a warning on my diviner
heights. Anything over an inch, she said. It will fall and you hurt your arm. I went to Hong Kong
and I bought a pair of platform shoes pink and green. Then walk on the sidewalk, I stumbled and
fell between a young couple and scratched my arm on the spindle young woman. The fortune teller
was right absurd.
As a hippie was a wonderful thing. I remember in Sausalito in the early '70s, the house and
flower children. There I saw a beautiful thin, blond young woman in a see-through kurta, Indian
dress then so fashionable. He was off-white, and she was naked under harsh. She wore flowers in
her hair and was of French bread that she had been shopping in a basket strapped to the arm. I
was shocked and envious at the same time. I wish I had the courage to do it.
Thus, the mode is back, but I'm too old to wear it. But, I remember very well. And all I have to
say is that the youth of today do not have the same kind of courage and spirit that we had when
we are young in the 60s and 70s were.

legs. The office of my boss did not ask me ever to get back in the bottom drawer filing cabinet.
I crouch to get it. Then the girls who took the Jeep to work will wear basketball shorts under
their mini skirts. Well, they only wear shorts. We used to wear, what we call hot pants. All I
can say now is - what happened to my legs? In the past they have be awesome again Π.
Today, they maxi-dresses. Long dresses with one shoulder bare. When I was young, my robes tied
around my neck and in the middle of my back. We do not wear bras. Our breasts were young, tall
and proud. Now? Joan Rivers said it best. She complained about a man who tries by their
freshness. He was setting an ankle bracelet - a bracelet on his ankle and touched his chest. His
chest was so low. I laughed all night. Excellent joke. I wonder how many people he got.
And platform shoes! We wore platform shoes in the 60s. I remember a warning on my diviner
heights. Anything over an inch, she said. It will fall and you hurt your arm. I went to Hong Kong
and I bought a pair of platform shoes pink and green. Then walk on the sidewalk, I stumbled and
fell between a young couple and scratched my arm on the spindle young woman. The fortune teller
was right absurd.
As a hippie was a wonderful thing. I remember in Sausalito in the early '70s, the house and
flower children. There I saw a beautiful thin, blond young woman in a see-through kurta, Indian
dress then so fashionable. He was off-white, and she was naked under harsh. She wore flowers in
her hair and was of French bread that she had been shopping in a basket strapped to the arm. I
was shocked and envious at the same time. I wish I had the courage to do it.
Thus, the mode is back, but I'm too old to wear it. But, I remember very well. And all I have to
say is that the youth of today do not have the same kind of courage and spirit that we had when
we are young in the 60s and 70s were.

Issued Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of the Museum of Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, the Tatehana said she hopes eventually Tatehana makes an affordable line.
"Noritaka Tatehana is one of the shoe designer of our time," she said. "It's amazing, dizzying heel shoes without high heels, transformed the appearance of extreme shoes."
The measure shoes look like the right thing most of her mind, has lost even Lady Gaga sometimes out of balance in some of the large drawings. Tatehana but said they are really more comfortable than regular high heels, because they put the weight of the user on the big toe, instead of the heel.
Tatehana says he can not even walk in his creations, but he prefers to wear sneakers and moccasins.
Lady Gaga was seen in another eccentric shoes. High heels that look like lobster claws are like Alexander McQueen, not Tatehana.
Tatehana grew on the coastal town of Kamakura. His father, a bathhouse downtown Tokyo, which has been running for the public to the office of prime real estate, and his mother teaches doll making.
He said that he would one day grow into the clothes pocket perhaps, or work in costumes for films. He will also contribute to the profile of its assets worldwide.
"I want the Japanese culture to remain alive today and win international respect," said Tatehana. "It is the creativity that defines the strength of a nation."

Are women who carry fake designer handbags big trouble?
Dan Ariely, a Professor of Behavioral Economics at Duke University, is publishing a book entitled, “The Honest Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone—Including Ourselves.” In it, he reveals research he and his colleagues conducted that provides useful insights into the psychological forces which drive lying.
One of the more fascinating revelations is that women who carry fake Louis Vuitton or Tory Burch handbags or wear fake Cartier jewelry, are more likely to lie, cheat or steal than other women.
Could that really be the case? Could handing over $50 for a replica handbag that should really cost $500 or $1,000 really signal deeper moral failings? Doesn’t everyone lie sometimes?
Most of us, Ariely explains, do indeed lie, sometimes. But the research he presents includes the fact that those of us who are willing to wear our lies around our necks (e.g. fake Burberry scarves) or carry them on our arms (e.g. those fake designer bags) are especially untrustworthy.
When you think about it, that makes psychological sense. People who buy knock-offs are willing to lie on multiple levels.
First, they’re willing to cheat the companies who created the designer items—and hold the intellectual property related to them—out of money that’s legitimately due them. Because those companies not only came up with unique—sometimes iconic—designs, they invested in advertising and marketing that made their brands household names. They harnessed genuine creativity and employed lots of people to make that happen.
Second, they’re willing to lie to everyone who gets a glimpse of their fake handbags or necklaces or sunglasses and thinks that they have the style sense, or the money, to select and buy those items. They’re desperate enough for that facade of style—that mask of chic—to break the law to achieve it. And they know what they’re doing isn’t above-board. After all, the fraudulent goods they’re buying are often sold by shady street dealers or fly-by-night websites.
Third—and probably most toxic—they’re able to lie to themselves. Because they can almost forget that they’re perpetrating a bit of a scam whenever they head out with a handbag that fools people into believing they have something they don’t and are something they’re not. They have the ability to think of themselves as entirely upstanding, when they’re ripping off companies who have to report real earnings to real stockholders and make real profits—or really go out of business.
Seen this way, the folks who lie just a little by buying knock-offs sound a little less innocuous than they might, otherwise. Still, though, they aren’t Bernie Madoff—making off with billions and leaving investors bankrupt. They aren’t Clark Rockefeller—the fake Rockefeller who fooled everyone into thinking he was a member of the legendary family.
No, they aren’t. But they are very distant cousins—and there are a lot more of them, capable of doing lots of harm, when taken together. And that’s really the psychological and economic point Ariely is making: Madoff isn’t our real problem. It’s the rest of us. The millions willing to lie and cheat and steal a little add up to a bigger economic and social problem than the outliers who take duplicity to the next level.
So, next time you see the stitching on a Louis Vuitton bag and realize it doesn’t quite look like the real deal, it’s fair to conclude that the person carrying it isn’t quite the real deal, either—and act accordingly.

Johnny Depp wins CFDA fashion icon award
Johnny Depp received his first Oscar -- fashion's Oscar, that is -- but he didn't actually show up to collect it at Monday night's CFDA Fashion Awards, a star-studded event attended by top designers, supermodels and stylish VIPs at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall.
"Johnny, I love him, and I love the way he just says, 'Award ceremonies . . . that's not my thing,' " said designer Betsey Johnson.
Depp is the first man to receive the Fashion Icon award, which was presented by John Waters, who directed Depp in 1990's "Cry-Baby." "He's off in a desert somewhere shooting 'The Lone Ranger,' " said Waters, who accepted the award on Depp's behalf.

Those who did show to the Council of Fashion Designers of America shindig included sexy starlets Zoe Saldana and Julianne Hough (bubbling about her new film, "Rock of Ages" -- "I LOVE all those old songs"), Tommy Hilfiger (winner of the Lifetime Achievement award), and ageless Diane von Furstenberg (her gown had print-like hands grabbing at her.) Bernadette Peters flashed photos of a pooch she and her Broadway Barks charity just found a home for. And snowboard champion Shaun White looked surprisingly dapper, dude (in a tux by best menswear nominee Antonio Azzuolo).
Winners of the night included The Row by Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen (best womenswear designer of the year), Billy Reid (menswear) and Reed Krakoff (accessories). The ceremony will be digitally broadcast on style.com Tuesday at noon.

Suits you: The search for the perfect bikini
Violet Lake
A fashion editor for more than 10 years, Ursula Lake started her own swimwear line after a fruitless search for the right bikini. The result is pick'n'mix bikinis and one-pieces in a host of colours.
The one-piece used to be seen as for the older woman or the "frumpy" choice, but our "Caruso" style is very sexy and can be worn as a top to the bar as well as looking chic on the beach. Good-quality fabric is important, it makes the garment last longer and wear better. I love mixing and matching colours and styles, this season we've done a navy and white stripe which looks great combined with a plain colour such as scarlet. If you've got a bigger bust don't cover it up – too much fabric generally makes things look bigger than they are. Our "Ryder" bikini top goes up to an E cup, and is supportive, sexy and very popular.
Style passport
Sarah Walters worked at Vogue, Bazaar and Marie Claire before moving to New Look where she ran campaigns with Giles Deacon and Lily Allen. Two years ago she founded an online store to solve every holiday wardrobe dilemma.
Designers expressed themselves with vibrant palettes and exotic prints this season, and summer by the sea or the pool looks all the better for it – colour and sunshine go hand in hand.
The most important thing to remember though is comfort. A suit cut to flatter will give confidence when baring all. If you love swimming do check your costume is up to the task. We've gone a bit crazy for Zimmerman this season – the new one pieces are especially flattering if you have an athletic shape like me, without a waist – a sporty two-piece works well too.
Beach Flamingo
Founded by Lily Russo, shopping editor at Grazia, and her retail expert sister Jessica, this newly launched site aims to unite the best of beach fashion from all over the world.
Digi-prints, florals and tribal are big trends this year, but the one-piece is really having a moment too. Cut, fit and fabric are so important, once you find a style that suits your shape stick to it – it makes the shopping experience much easier.
We're massive fans of Karla Colletto for its hidden scaffolding that nips and tucks in all the right places. Both of us have quite hourglass figures and though our personal style differs we can guarantee a well-chosen side-tie or scoop bikini bottom is the most flattering. Big knickers seem safe but often only make you look bigger.
Beach tomato
An extension of the award-winning hip travel site Black Tomato, this one-stop shop run by fashion editor Kirsty Hathaway combines editorial delights with commerce.
Prints, prints, prints ! They abound this season – a trend that has trickled through from the catwalks. The bonus is they're flattering and a fun alternative to lots of the block colours we've seen of late.
Remember your body type though, just because you may like the look of a bikini, you need to remember what suits you and what you feel comfortable in – you are, after all, practically naked. I love Mungo Gurney's collection, it ranges from on trend art deco and graphic prints to block colours and laser cut-outs. I love one-pieces at the moment, for once they are cool, flattering and not so mumsy. A halterneck is great to give a smaller bust more lift and cleavage.
