The ProSiebenSat.1 subsidiary Seven Ventures is set to invest in STYLIGHT.

Mood Boards by STYLIGHT

Munich, 31st January 2013. The ProSiebenSat.1 subsidiary Seven Ventures is set to invest in STYLIGHT. The Munich-based start-up will therefore not only profit from extensive media coverage but also from a capital investment of millions of euros. Benjamin Günther, co-founder and CEO of STYLIGHT says: “ProSieben is our absolute dream investor. The media company has shown that it has an excellent understanding of online businesses and believes they are the future. We view ProSieben”s commitment as an impressive affirmation of our business strategy.”

On STYLIGHT.co.uk , users have the possibility to create their own mood boards with their own outfit photos, favourite songs, videos and items from a selection of over 500.000 products available on the site. Users can share their mood boards with others in the community as well gain inspiration from other users- whether they live in Milan, London, Paris or Stockholm. STYLIGHT took more than a million orders in 2012, making them one of the first fashion communities to have a revenue model that works internationally . Founded in 2008, STYLIGHT has greatly expanded in the past year and is now active in eight European countries. External sales amounted to around 100 million euros.

Benjamin Günther: “ProSieben”s investment shows us that Social Curation is now a high priority for German media corporations. It”s all about international inspiration and local commerce; be inspired by an international community but buy from a trusted, local online store. This is what makes STYLIGHT so unique. And while we”ve still got a long way to go, our fast-growing community shows us we”re on the right track. Our main goal is to become the leading Fashion Community.”

STYLIGHT was founded by Anselm Bauer, Benjamin Günther, Max-Josef Meier and Sebastian Schuon in 2008. Investors include Holtzbrinck Ventures and Tengelmann Ventures. STYLIGHT pools over 400.000 fashion items from 70 partner shops- ranging from Asos to Zalando.

The renowned company GUNOLD, GmbH based in Germany, made its successful debut at the fall edition of the ModAmont fashion show in Paris. “We had a lot of informative and enlightening conversations. Predominantly fashion designers but also buyers gathered information about our comprehensive range of embroidery supplies. In addition, we were able to answer a lot of detailed technical questions about embroidery with surprisingly easy to follow solutions”, Stephan Gunold, responsible for Marketing, is happy to mention.

The brand-new sample design books from Gunold are a success

And the brand-new sample design books were as much a success as Gunold had hoped. The trade show visitors showed great interest in those exceptionally creative embroidery ideas. Designers highly appreciated that every page of these creative inspiration books can be emailed as a PDF document upon special request and free of charge. Again and again people were surprised by the easy to follow embroidery techniques and solutions, even for the most intricate and elaborate looking designs – showing GUNOLD”s extraordinary competence, which they are especially proud of and for which they are highly recognized in the embroidery industry. All things considered, Gunold”s debut in Paris showed great promise and therefore Gunold is definitely planning to participate at the 2013 edition of the ModAmont show.

Product Highlights at a Glance: Thermoseal, Filaine, Solar, Glowy

Now GUNOLD has the right product for embroideries on waterproof or water-repellent fabrics. Just apply THERMOSEAL to the back of your embroidery using a heat press and the design becomes completely waterproof. Water and moisture will not penetrate the fabric through the tiny embroidery needle punctures. Rain gear, outdoor jackets, functional clothing can be embroidered and everybody stays dry- use on work clothes e.g. for road construction, gardening and for all outdoor jobs.

The wool-like embroidery thread FILAINE is now available in 21 brand new, trendy colors, giving a fresh creative impetus to summer fashion and a cozy feeling to winter clothes. The new fashion colors, ranging from earth tone/berry colors to clean/cold colors perfectly complement the already existing 108 different FILAINE colors. And for that extraordinary effect of your embroidery design, just combine the wool-like FILAINE with the glossy viscose embroidery thread SULKY or with the silk embroidery thread SILK. FILAINE, made of 100% acrylic, has a fine woolen structure nevertheless it is extremely robust and particularly convincing through high tear and rub resistance thus it is even recommended for embroideries on jeans. Not to forget, it is ideal for precious embroideries on woolens or knits, vintage style patterns for traditional costumes or colorful ethnic clothes. FILAINE is perfect for rustic embroideries with that typical needlework look. This special thread is certified according to Oeko Tex Standard 100, class 1, the highest category and is available on Miniking cones of 1000 m each.

The specialty embroidery thread SOLAR is white, but any ultraviolet light (sunlight activated) makes this thread quickly morph into a colorful embroidery art piece, in shades of blue, red, yellow, orange, fuchsia, purle or green. SOLAR is made of 100% polyester and is available on Miniking cones of 1,000m each.

With the luminous specialty embroidery thread GLOWY, natural and artificial light is stored in the special glow-in-the-dark polyester threads and later released in the dark. The long-lasting glow is ideal for embroidery logos and embroidery letterings on garments and products used in security service industries allowing for clear visibility at night, even without being illuminated-an advantage to other reflecting materials. GLOWY is made of 100% polyester and is available in 7 different pastel shades which glow whitish in the dark. This thread is available on Miniking cones of 1.000 m each.

Playing a key role in the embroidery industry, Gunold offers a wide range of products for all your embroidery needs such as upper threads, bobbin threads, stabilisers and many more specialty products. The company”s highest priority has always been to increase productivity as well as creativity in the embroidery industry. This spring, Gunold introduces numerous, worthwhile product improvements to facilitate the work for every embroiderer and to achieve high-quality embroidery results.

Product sample STEP

The structured fabric STEP that looks remarkably identical to lock-stitch embroidery and is therefore ideal for emblems has now a lot more stability. Instead of the iron-on coating, it is now finished with a strong, durable and fusible nonwoven on the back.
Therefore emblems have not only more stability but processing this material gets a lot easier for the embroiderer. Best results can be achieved with laser cut appliqué patches made of STEP as the laser process welds together the cut edges and prevents the appliqué from fraying. STEP is available in ten popular colours.

The new and improved stitch foil REFLECTRA with increased reflection makes its debut in spring as well. Embroidering appliqués with this foil is made easy and once REFLECTRA has been embroidered just use a hot press or iron to fix it permanently. The thin and flexible polyurethane foil is easy to work with and is available in solid colors and multicolored. The reflective characteristics transform your garment into an eye-catcher and make it visible 24 hours a day- during daylight because of the bright colors, at night because light is reflected when illuminated!

The slogan “The Price is Right” is just perfect to describe the new bobbin thread BOBBY MAXI. Believe it or not but this bobbin thread is available on 15,000m cones. Most important, the performance on the machine is trouble-free! BOBBY MAXI is available in white, weight 100 and the price is unbeatable!

Packed house at the booth of GUNOLD, GmbH on all three days of the show! On all three days of the TV TecStyle Visions 2012 tradeshow, the booth of GUNOLD, GmbH Stockstadt, was extremely crowded. Leaving all four sides open, the booth C74 in hall 4, appeared to be very inviting and encouraged customers to visit.

Especially the three demo areas- one for embroidery threads, one for embroidery backings and foils and one for digitizing (demonstrated by Constitch) as well as the embroidery workshop, appealed to a lot of tradeshow visitors. “It has become apparent, that the TecStyle Visions tradeshow is the most important show for our sales areas Germany, Austria and Switzerland”, explains Stephan Gunold, responsible for marketing at GUNOLD. Almost all of the current customers visited the booth and the company was able to win new customers as well. “As always, we were very pleased with this trade show”
As expected, particular attention was paid to the new products such as the premium embroidery thread POLY 60, made of 100% polyester. It is now available in 27 new additional colours, offering a choice of 54 different colours altogether. This thread is ideal for monograms, small scripts and small intricate details. A lot of interest sparked the self-adhesive embroidery backing now just being called FILMOPLAST which is available in black and in white as well as THERMOFIX, innovative adhesive fibres for permanent bonding. With this new material, the ironing-on of emblems and patches is a breeze. New coreless pre-wound bobbin thread BOBBY FIL 120L attracted a lot of attention as well. This pre-wound bobbin has no sides and no core.
Customer feedback on all the new products has been very positive. In addition, trade show visitors trusted to find answers from GUNOLD to various technical questions concerning the realization of embroidery designs. “Word gets around, that we pride ourselves on being experienced problem solvers for everything concerning embroidery”, Stephan Gunold is happy to explain. ” If the use or application of a product is not self-explanatory, our expert advice and expertise is especially welcome. Once more this turned out to be true at the trade show in Stuttgart.” Accordingly live demonstrations at the embroidery machine and at the ironing press were well received. Here you could find out how to embroider patches and ribbons (Velcro straps, lanyards) and how to permanently bond patches using Thermofix.
The video training series with topics like “Embroidering of Patches” and “Embroidering of Ribbons” attracted great interest as well. One trade show visitor spontaneously remarked: Now I can watch the process again in case I forget all the different steps. That is exactly what GUNOLD intended: all videos are available at www.gunold.de (Button Video Training Series) or on YouTube. In addition, if customers want to learn more about embroidery techniques and know-how the new seminar and workshop program 2012 offers top notch embroidery training. Currently in its 10th year, once again a new program is scheduled with topics like “Solutions for Your Embroidery Problems”, “Embroidery Supplies-The Basics”, “Digitizing-The Basics” and “Digitizing In Practice”.

Professional photographer Daniel Bauer hosts interactive art nude and lingerie workshops in Tuscany, in May 2012. With days of exchange of know-how, group activities, three models to photograph and an “all inclusive” stay in the Italian paradise.

photo workshops May 2012

Barcelona, February 2012. For those interested in artistic nude and lingerie photography, and also for professionals, Swiss photographer Daniel Bauer has created three different types of photography workshops, suitable for all skill levels and about the topics in great demand: nude and lingerie. This time with Yana Bauer as co-organizer and main model. With shootings on most beautiful locations in Tuscany and with group activities to create a meeting place for lovers of art photography.

The idea of Interactive Workshops arose from his knowledge of conventional workshops offered continuously, in which the participants just click their camera for 4 or 5 hours without really learning anything about techniques, light and composition. The workshops end up beeing just a simple shooting with some naked girls without any variety in expression or pose and without the possibility that participants can achieve good results or get some new know-how.

According to bis experience, Bauer has created three workshops in which the participants can learn to form a clear basis for taking their photos, in idyllic locations of Tuscany, with three beautiful models prepared exclusively for achieving the wanted shots and to meet the objectives of the workshops. This time he also offers a stay in a quiet and appropriate place for the participants to empathize with photography, art and nature with activities to share the passion for photography and enjoy the pleasures of this part of Italy.

In order to take advantage of the ideal temperatures in spring to take photos outdoors and not to overstress the time that participants may have in the month of May, for each workshop it”s only necessary to have three nights with two days of intensive photography and various activities. In a place with easy access from major airports in Italy. The first workshop is aimed to lingerie photography, the second to artistic nude, also suitable for amateurs, and the third workshop addresses to adcanced and profesional photographers who want to let flow their artistic, creative skills in nude and lingerie photography and during a night shooting.

Daniel Bauer already opens the registration to the workshops of May 2012 so that participants can reserve the dates on their agendas and encourage themselves to live this experience.
