verything you wear affects your life no matter how subtle it may be. The garments that you gravitate towards are chosen for a reason. They correlate to the energy levels that you produce and can either work to hinder or grow said energy.

Every piece of clothing has a specific combination of energy that will work with your elemental energy. When you consider what elemental energy you produce, while also considering how every garment produces it’s own energy, you can affectively decide and introduce positive energies for your days ahead. Using the Color & Emotion app, you can de-code what energies your garments produce and how compatible they are for you.

A special 9 digit ID number system is used to sort and categorize individual garments, and is derived from the concepts of Zeus Sensor and Body Source Code. The 9 digit system is broken down in the same manner as a person’s Destiny Number. Each digit is associated with one of the Five Elements and a Yin or Yang polarity. Like the Body Source Code, these elements are assigned to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the four pillars of year, month, day and hour.

The comparison between your Body Source Code and the 9 digit ID number of a garment allows you to understand the compatibility between the personal energies you produce versus what you choose to wear.

When considering these 9 digit ID numbers, we take into account what makes up the garment. An in-depth analysis is done, from the source of the materials used to the country of manufacturing. The generated codes are true representations of the energy levels. Every garment has two specific deities that represent the base elemental structure. It takes multiple ideas strung together to form a concept. The same is true in fashion.

An item of clothing is made up of multiple inspirational minds and factors, therefore when devising these ID numbers, a combination of two deities are used, each representing a specific element. The combination of these deities produces the basis for the 9 digit ID number of each garment.

This coat’s energy is comprised of the combination of Zeus and Hestia. Its 9 digit ID number is:

One Planet, Five Elements

COLOUR & EMOTION

We have created the simple concept of a personal ID. The personal ID does not represent citizens of a country, but they are rather the number codes that derive precisely from the year, month, day, hour and minute of our births, and take into account the longitude and latitude of the birth place, as well as the true solar time. There are a total of nine numbers.

The numbers 0 and 5 are repetitive. These two numbers are our main elemental attributes. Through these nine numbers, we can balance the five elemental energies that we need. The same IDs are also attached to all products. Therefore, you can buy the products to match with your elemental requirements.

HISTORY

109TM.com

Hermès International S.A., Hermes of Paris, or simply Hermès is a French manufacturer established in 1837, today specializing in leather, lifestyle accessories, perfumery, luxury goods, and ready-to-wear. Its logo, since the 1950s, is of a Duc carriage with horse.

28

Fashion & Living Fall 2015

109TM.com

Thierry Hermès (1801–1878) was born in Krefeld (Germany) to a French father and a German mother. The family moved to France in 1828. In 1837, Thierry Hermès first established Hermès as a harness workshop in the Grands Boulevards quarter of Paris, dedicated to serving European noblemen.

Hermès’s son, Charles-Émile Hermès (1835–1919), took over management from his father and moved the shop in 1880 to 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré where it remains to this day.

In 1922, the first leather handbags were introduced after Émile-Maurice’s wife complained of not being able to find one to her liking. Émile-Maurice created the handbag collection himself.

In 1924, Hermès established a presence in the United States and opened two shops in French resort. In 1929, the first women’s couture apparel collection was previewed in Paris.

During the 1930s Hermès introduced some of its most recognized original goods such as the leather Sac à dépêches in 1935 (later renamed the “Kelly bag” after Grace Kelly), and the Hermès carrés (scarves) in 1937.

HISTORY

The Hermès scarves became integrated into French culture.

In 1938, the Chaîne d’ancre bracelet and the riding jacket and outfit joined the classic collection. By this point, the company’s designers began to draw inspirations from paintings, books, andobjets d’art. The 1930s also witnessed Hermès’s entrance into the United States market by offering its products in a Neiman Marcus department store in New York; however, it later withdrew. In 1949, the same year as the launch of the Hermès silk tie, the first perfume, Eau d’Hermès, was produced.

In 1956, a photo of Grace Kelly, who had become the new Princess of Monaco, was shown carrying the Sac à dépêches bag in a photography in Life. Purportedly, she held it in front of herself to cover up her pregnancy. Thus, the public began calling it the “Kelly” bag. The name was subsequently adopted by Hermès, and the bag became hugely popular.

As of 2008, Hermès has 14 product divisions encompassing leather, scarves, ties, men’s wear, women’s fashion, perfume, watches, stationery, footwear, gloves, enamel, decorative arts, tableware, and jewelry.

Fashion History

--Back to 1986

Iconic pieces at this time have echoed throughout fashion history and are still quite relevant in today’s fashion scene. As they say, fashion never dies and neither have these trends, we will start to see a comeback of these styles in the year 2016.

Fashion & Living Fall 2015

109TM.com

HISTORY

COLORS Women’s fashion in the mid-1980s became more colorful around 1985. This included long wool coats, long flared skirts, slim miniskirts, slightly tapered pants stirrup ones, designer jeans, spandex cycling shorts, extremely long bulky sweaters, jumpsuits, pastel colors, leather trench coats, fur coats, extremely large scarves, beanies, leather gloves, and dresses worn with wide or thin belts.

The aerobics craze of the early 1980s continued into the mid1980s.

SHOES Meanwhile, women’s fashion and business shoes revisited the pointed toes and spiked heels that were popular in the 1950s and early 1960s. Some stores stocked canvas or satin covered fashion shoes in white and dyed them to the customer’s preferred color, preferably bright colors.

GLOVES Laced or fingerless gloves were popularized

by Madonna, as well as fishnet stockings and layers of beaded necklaces. Short, tight Lycra or leather miniskirts and tubular dresses were also worn, as were cropped bolero-style jackets.

POWER DRESSING The television prime time shows Dallas and, in particular, Dynasty had an impact in the area of the increasingly oversized shoulder pads. Dallas, however, promoted displays of wealth involving jewelry and sparkling clothing.

Its main component is the Life Chart, akin to a road map and/or weather forecast combined that helps you to discover virtually everything you need to know about yourself. The information is derived from over 100 points in the celestial sky known as stars and their locations during your exact moment of birth. As a result, the Zeus Sensor is a complex and detailed system of interpretation that allows us to view the blueprint of our lives by accurately describing our past, present, and future.

Paris, the cosmopolitan capital of France, is one of the largest agglomerations in Europe, with 2.2 million people living in the dense, central city and almost 12 million people living in the whole metropolitan area. Located in the north of France on the river Seine, Paris has the reputation of being the most beautiful and romantic of all cities, brimming with historic associations and remaining vastly influential in the realms of culture, art, fashion, food and design.

CLIMATE Being located in Western Europe, Paris has a maritime climate with cool winters and warm summers. The moderating effect of the Atlantic Ocean helps to temper temperature extremes in much of Western Europe, including France. Even in January, the coldest month, temperatures nearly always exceed the freezing point with an average high of 6°C (43°F). Summers in Paris are warm and pleasant, with an average high of 25°C (77°F) during the mid-summer months. Spring and fall are normally cool and wet. With the weather being so pleasant in the summer, it's a great time to visit.

ATTRACTIONS

Château de Versailles (Versailles) - must be seen. France’s most exquisite chateau, on the outskirts of the city, easily visited by train. Once the home to Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

The Louvre - One of the finest museums in the world of art and culture. Home of the Mona Lisa and innumerable others.

Enormous building and collection, plan at least two visits.

The Nuit Blanche - transforms most of central Paris into a moonlit theme-park for an artsy all-nighter on the first Saturday of October, and Fashion Week returns shortly thereafter showing off Women’s Prêt-à-Porter collections for the following summer; as we’ve noted winter collections are presented in March.

FOOD For seafood lovers, Paris is a great place to try moules frites (steamed mussels and French fries) (better in fall and winter), oysters, sea snails, and other delicacies.

Meat specialties include venison (deer), boar, and other game (especially in the fall and winter hunting season), as well as French favourites such as lamb, veal, beef, and pork.

San Francisco is a major city in California, the centerpiece of the Bay Area, well-known for its liberal community, hilly terrain, Victorian architecture, scenic beauty, summer fog, and great ethnic and cultural diversity. These are only a few of the aspects of the city that make San Francisco one of the most visited cities in the world.

CLIMATE San Francisco has a mild climate, with cool, wet winters and dry summers. In most months, you can expect the high temperature to be in the upper 50s, 60s or low 70s degree Fahrenheit (1525°C). However, these mild temperature readings belie a unique climate not shared by other major cities in the state or country.

Essentially San Francisco is never warmer than 73 degrees but never colder than 50 degrees.

ATTRACTIONS

Steps at Broadway & Lyon - Pacific Heights (at Broadway St and Lyon St). If you climb these steps you can get a breathtaking view of the Palace of Fine Arts, the Marina, and the Bay. The Steps are known locally as the “San Francisco Stair Master”... and with good reason!

Palace of Fine Arts - The only structure remaining from the 1915 World’s Fair, it features a classical Roman rotunda (1,100 feet wide, 162 feet high) with curved colonnades (30 Corinthian columns frame a wide walkway in the colonnade) situated in an idyllic park setting with a classical European-Style lagoon.

It’s a great place to unwind, have a picnic, and watch the swans float elegantly by. It also has a theater offering a variety of shows, musical and cultural events.

FOOD There is an excellent selection of restaurants in this area; everything from regional Chinese restaurants to Tapas bars, and from Japanese sushi houses to American steakhouses, romantic French bistros, and Italian restaurants. A lot of the food plated here is of the healthier variety — a reflection of the heightened overall health consciousness of residents in this area. Therefore, many of the restaurants serve up food that’s organic, vegetarian, or produced from locally sourced ingredients... is there any other way!? Like most other businesses in the area, most restaurants are on Chestnut St, Union St, and Fillmore St; or indeed, one of the side streets leading off them

Singapore is a city-state in Southeast Asia. Founded as a British trading colony in 1819, since independence it has become one of the world’s most prosperous countries and boasts the world’s busiest port. Combining the skyscrapers and subways of a modern, affluent city with a medley of Chinese, Malay and Indian influences and a tropical climate, with tasty food, good shopping and a vibrant night-life scene, this Garden City makes a great stopover or springboard into the region.

CLIMATE As Singapore is located a mere 1.5 degrees north of the Equator, it is usually sunny with no distinct seasons. Rain falls almost daily during the monsoon season, usually in sudden, heavy showers that rarely last longer than an hour. However, most rainfall occurs during the north east monsoon (November to January), occasionally featuring lengthy spells of continuous rain. Spectacular thunderstorms can occur throughout the year, any time during the day, so it’s wise to carry an umbrella at all times, both as a shade from the sun or cover from the rain.

ATTRACTIONS

Orchard Road & neighboring Scotts Road - form Singapore’s premier shopping district, with several kilometers of road lined on both sides by practically nothing but shopping malls. The latest round of frantic upgrading in 2008-2010 has seen half a dozen new malls open up and most of the rest renovate in an attempt to catch up.

Andana @ Orchard - Singapore’s largest spa, with 22,000 square feet of space, partly outdoors thanks to its rooftop location.

Basic day package $82, including use of spa facilities and all you can eat/drink from the menu. Massages and treatments charged separately.

FOOD

Chatterbox - Possibly Singapore’s most famous chicken rice, and at $30/plate after tax, certainly its most expensive - but you do get very generous portions, air-con, red-lacquered furniture and panoramic views over Orchard. Often full on weekends, so call ahead, or eat the same meal at the Observation Lounge on the level below.

Crystal Jade Palace - The flagship of the chain, which serves authentic Cantonese food. Dinner here is fairly expensive, but the set lunch for two is good value at $50. The dim sum during the lunch time is worth trying as well as the roasted meat and wonton noodles during lunchtime. Reservations recommended as queues can be as long as an hour.

The dress features an opaque thigh-length bias cut silk slip overlaid with sheer chiffon panels, merging into a translucent floor-length skirt, through which the silhouette of Moss’s slender legs were just visible. The sequins dusted around the hem of the skirt were, in Galliano’s imagination, as though “the scullery maid has picked up milady’s fallen sequins to spangle her own dress”. Rising from these sparkling “ashes”, beaded phoenix plumes licked, flame - like, up the front of the skirt.

THE DRESS STYLE: Informal, vintage inspired SHAPE: Bias-cut slip FABRIC: Silk, Silk chiffon, and embroidered tulle.

COLOUR: Crème and Gold.

THE DETAILS The Skirt is embroidered with a trailing floral pattern in white thread.

Phoenix plumes are embroidered all the way around the skirt in gold sequins, beads, and rhinestones. Their curving lines echo the of the bride’s legs in motion.

A Narrow dust ruffle runs all the way around the hem.

Calcium is an important component of a healthy diet and a mineral necessary for life. The National Osteoporosis Foundation says, “Calcium plays an important role in building stronger, denser bones early in life and keeping bones strong and healthy later in life.” Approximately 99 percent of the body’s calcium is stored in the bones and teeth.

Long-term calcium deficiency can lead to rickets and poor blood clotting and in case of a menopausal woman, it can lead to osteoporosis, in which the bone deteriorates and there is an increased risk of fractures.

Many good vegetable sources of calcium exist, including seaweeds such as kelp, and seeds/nuts like almonds, hazelnuts, sesame, and pistachio. In addition, several foods and drinks, such as orange juice, soy milk, tofu, breakfast cereals, and breads are often fortified with calcium.

IRON To meet the recommendations for dietary iron, eat a variety of foods. Iron is not concentrated in many foods except organ meats such as liver and heart. Other foods with lower, yet substantial amounts of iron include most meats (especially red meats), dried beans and peas, green leafy vegetables and dried fruit. Whole-grain, enriched, and iron-fortified bread and cereal products also are good sources.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause symptoms of mania and psychosis. Vitamin B12 deficiency is most commonly caused by low intakes, but can also result from mal-absorption, certain intestinal disorders, low presence of binding proteins, and using of certain medications. Vitamin B12 is rare from plant sources, so vegetarians are most likely to suffer from vitamin B12 deficiency. Infants are at a higher risk of vitamin B12 deficiency if they were born to vegetarian mothers.

VITAMIN B12

Vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. It is one of the eight B vitamins. It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation.

High vitamin B12 level in elderly individuals may protect against brain atrophy or shrinkage associated with Alzheimer’s disease and impaired cognitive function.

FEATURED

**In foods, B12 is measured in micrograms (aka “µg” or “mcg”). 1,000 µg = 1 mg.
