【小题1】And in a way we totally mean that, but Fashion Tourism goes a step forward. Fashion Tourism is defined as the phenomenon of people travelling to and staying in places outside their environment to enjoy, experiment and possibly consume fashion.

But don't just picture yourself travelling to Lisbon and visiting one of Louis Vuitton or Miu Miu shops and buying a clutch （限量款）!【小题2】Fashion Tourism will not only make your credit card go crazy.

Fashion Tourism will give you something to tell your friends when you come back home. It will make you wear clothes that you are not brave enough to wear in your home town.【小题3】 Not mentioning buying the latest fashion magazines in foreign countries finding wonderful bargains in street markets, going to fashion museums and even trying to get inside a fashion show!

So you may ask why we would go across the world to buy things in different stores.【小题4】 We shop for essentials on holiday, to experience local culture through an engagement with local products and local crafts people. We look for exciting opportunities to shop while travelling and some destinations provide special tourist shopping activities for tourists to shop for goods.

The concept of Fashion Tourism is an enjoyable experience.【小题5】

Shorts may feel nice and casual on your legs on a warm summer’s day, but they’re not so gentle on your wallet. 【小题1】 Usually the fact that one obviously uses less cloth than the other makes it hard to be accepted So what gives?

It turns out clothing sellers aren’t trying to cheat you by charging you too much money. They’re just pricing shorts according to what it costs to produce them.【小题2】 Extra material does go into a full pair of pants but not as much as you may think. As experts explain, shorts that don’t fall past your knees may contain just a fifth less cloth than ankle-length trousers.【小题3】

Those same details that end up accounting for most of the material—pockets, belt loops, waist bands—also require the most human labor to make.【小题4】 The physical cotton in blue jeans accounts for just a small part of its price Jag. Most of that money goes to pay the people stitching (缝合) it together, and they put in roughly the same amount of time whether they’re working on a pair of pants or some shorts.

【小题5】 For another example, short-sleeved shirts cost roughly the same as long-sleeved shirts. There are also numerous invisible factors that make some shorts more expensive than nearly identical pairs, like where they were made9marketing costs, and the brand on the label. If you don’t want to spend $40 on something that covers just a small piece of leg, stay at home with your wallet!

Société Cartier designs, manufactures, distributes and sells jewellery and watches. Founded in Paris, France in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, the company remained under family control until 1964. The company maintains its headquarters in Paris and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Compagnie Financière Richemont SA.

Cartier is well known for its jewellery and wrist watches, including the “Bestiary” (best illustrated by the Panthère brooch of the 1940s created for Wallis Simpson), the diamond necklace created for Bhupinder Singh the Maharaja of Patiala and the first practical wristwatch, the “Santos,” of 1904.

Cartier has a long history of sales to royalty and celebrities. King Edward VII of England referred to Cartier as “the jeweler of kings and the king of jewelers.” For his coronation in 1902, Edward VII ordered 27 tiaras and issued a royal warrant to Cartier in 1904. Similar warrants soon followed from the courts of Spain, Portugal, Russia, Siam, Greece, Serbia, Belgium, Romania, Egypt, Albania, Monaco, and the House of Orleans.

In 1986, the French Ministry for Culture appointed Perrin head of the “Mission sur le mecenatd’ entreprise” (a commission to study business patronage of the arts). Two years later, Cartier acquired a majority holding in Piaget and Baume & Mercier. In 1990 the Musee du Petit Palais staged the first major exhibition of the Cartier collection, “l’Art de Cartier”.

Perrin founded an international committee in 1991, Comite International de la Haute Horlogerie, to organise its first salon, held on 15 April 1991. This has become an annual meeting place in Geneva for professionals. The next year, the second great exhibition of “l’Art de Cartier” was held at the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. In 1993, the “Vendome Luxury Group” was formed as an umbrella company to combine Cartier, Alfred Dunhill, Montblanc, Piaget, Baume & Mercier, Karl Lagerfeld, Chloé, Sulka, Hackett, Seeger.

In 1995, a major exhibition of the Cartier Antique Collection was held in Asia. The next year, the Lausanne Hermitage Foundation in Switzerland hosted the exhibition “Splendours of the Jewellery”, presenting a hundred and fifty years of products by Cartier. As of 2012, Cartier is owned, through Richemont, by the South African Rupert family and 24-year-old who is the granddaughter of Pierre Cartier, Elle Pagels.
