invest in a classic handbag from Bottega Veneta
and you’ll find yourself perennially chic no matter
where fashion trends head from season to season.
Creative director Tomas maier brought glamour
to the label in 2001 when the gucci group
bought the company which michele Taddei and
renzo zengiaro founded in 1966. But still at the
heart of the collection are the three silhouettes that
started it all in the ‘60s—the “knot” (top) asserts
contemporary flair with scarab and metallic finish;
the Cabat (second from top) gets an updated iridescent
finish; while the Veneta (bottom) remains a classic in
chocolate brown. new for the season: the scarabee
iridescent snakeskin crossbody bag (middle) and the
scarabee iridescent nappa clutch (second from

Zac Posen on women’s clothes and travel.
By shivani Vora | Photography by sven schumann
starlets like natalie Portman, Cameron Diaz and Claire Danes regularly look to zac Posen to dress them for red carpet events, but the
designer himself is remarkably understated about his success. “i don’t think i’ve had my big breakthrough yet,” he said during an
interview in his Tribeca offices. “I’m constantly working to evolve.” • His own impressions aside, there is no question that the energetic
and sharply dressed 30-year-old has fast-tracked in the fashion world. Posen was raised in New York City’s SoHo neighbourhood and
was interested in design even as a child, when he would take the yarmulkes from his grandparents’ synagogue to make dresses for
dolls. after an internship with designer nicole miller and the pre-college program at Parsons The new school for Design, he received
a womenswear degree at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. He returned to New York in 2001 and turned >>>

Romancing the Stones
As she debuts her latest collection, Leviev production director Rachael Clark
reveals how destination inspired design. | By Shivani Vora

The sparkle of nearly 300 carats of diamonds created a radiant light in the spacious second-floor salon at the Leviev boutique on
Madison Avenue. As I absorbed the exquisiteness of the five masterpieces in front of me, each unique in style and made with stones so
rare that only this prestigious brand could be behind them, Rachael Clark smiled with satisfaction and pride. • As the head of production for the New York–based company, crafting more than 200 jewels a year is her job, but this five-piece, $10 million collection,
celebrating Leviev’s five years in retail, is a career standout. • Clark, who is just 31, joined the luxury brand in 2005 as an assistant and
took over from the chief production manager when he retired five years ago. “I had worked in fine jewellery before, but he helped me
bring my craft to another level and taught me the technical skills I needed to work with high-calibre stones,” she says. >>>

MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS:
PROOF REQUIREMENTS:
Macintosh formatted CD or DVD with a contract proof. You must
provide a color laser at 100% scale if a contract proof is not supplied. Media will not be returned. A PDF created as PDF/x-1a:2001 is our
preferred file format. Other file types accepted: InDesign, QuarkXpress,
Photoshop, and Illustrator. If supplying native files, please supply all
links and fonts used in the document.
A contract proof is recommended. Only SWOP certified proofs such
as Kodak Approval, Creo Iris, and Fujifilm FinalProof are acceptable for
matching color on press. A standard GATF or SWOP color bar is to be
included on the proof, but is not necessary in the digital file. For more

100% scale if a contract proof is not supplied.
DIGITAL FILE REQUIREMENTS:
BLEED ADS
For both PDF and native files, please adhere to the following rules.
Create page layout document to trim dimension. Then pull 1/8" bleed
on all four sides to fulfill bleed dimension. Critical design and type
elements must stay within the live area.
1. Make sure that all images are high resolution (300 ppi) and are in
CMYK mode. Note that enlarging an image with a resolution of 300
over 125% in the page layout file will lower the resolution to the point
that image quality degradation may be noticeable when printed.
2. Convert all spot colors to 4 color process (CMYK).
3. Our maximum total area coverage/ink density is 300.
4. For spread ads, keep all copy and important art at least .375” (.95 cm) away from the gutter on each side.
