Western
looks are back on the big screen. Style in Quentin Tarantino's latest
Golden Globe-nominated film, "Django Unchained," was inspired by cowboy
movies of the 1960s. "Quentin had a lot of films for me to watch,"
costume designer Sharen Davis told Spy. "It was kind of fantastic
because it pointed me in the right direction of how he wanted this film
to go." Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Davis said the
outfits in "Django" have elements of a spaghetti Western. "I had to
characterize each of the leads so the audience would immediately know
who was a good guy or bad guy," Davis said of working with top actors
such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz.The oreck XL

Here, the costume designer (who is also eagerly awaiting the Academy
Award nominations, out this Thursday) talks about bringing the Wild West

"We had a lot of cowboy boots, but I had to find boots that were in 1850 and not 1880. So a lot of the boots don't have a lot of flair, like tooling or that little Western-cut dip that cowboy boots are known for, because a lot of that started in the late 1800s. I got very little sleep because a lot of these characters, like Django [Foxx], are cowboys in 1850 and I couldn't stay within the confines of the period. I took a lot of inspiration from pioneer people traveling to the West, [such as] pre-cowboy looks, so I didn't cheat too badly."

Beverly Feldman found a muse for her fall '13 collection in an unlikely place: Nancy Botwin (played by Mary-Louise Parker) on Showtime's recently-ended "Weeds" series. "[Nancy's] style was so unlike mine, so California and so bizarre," Feldman said. "She wears knee socks with clog sandals or boots and loose weird tops. ... Not at all the Euro, high-fashion chic that I am familiar with. But I thought it was cool." The Alicante, Spain-based designer, who watched all eight seasons in late-night rerun marathons, also said she found a bit of herself in the main character. "I related to Nancy, as she was always trying to sell her product, support her family and getting involved with various bad boys. Just change the weed [to] shoes and there was my life." As for how the show will translate into footwear for her eponymous label, Feldman said a modernized aesthetic including booties, combat styles, sportier looks and round-toe shoes will exude California-cool. "I'm also including striped knee socks with every purchase," she quipped.

All Flex, manufacturer of flexible circuits and heaters, announces the purchase of the CAD and panelization portion of TRI-C Design, Inc., also located in Northfield, MN. TRI-C provides computer aided design, panelization, and automation for flexible and printed circuit board manufacturers. This service group performs the precision work of design and setup up for new parts manufactured at All Flex, providing the final tooling package necessary for production.

Greg Closser, President, says this investment in the CAD group’s flexible circuit, flexible heater, and panelization expertise demonstrates our commitment to continuous improvement, “All Flex is all about meeting the product and quick response needs of our customers. Adding these five talented individuals with extensive industry expertise will streamline job set up efficiency, ultimately getting product to our customer quicker. We are looking forward to strong revenue growth in 2013 and believe these additional internal resources will help us with some of the challenges that come with growth. ”
TRI-C Owner, Keith Hildahl, remains with TRI-C which will focus more on doing flex circuit design work for the industry. “Over the last 20 years, All Flex had become our largest panelization customer. A customer representing this volume requires and deserves considerable attention. The sale of the panelization portion of our business to All Flex seemed to be a natural progression in the business relationship at this time. This sale will allow TRI-C to again focus attention on enhancing design capabilities and on our many flexible circuit design customers,” Hildahl says.
