BR2-7 : Gucci - business in fashion



     I don't like brand things but I know some famous brand name. Gucci is one of the famous brand and everyone know it. The company made Italian design and fashion around the world.
 Guccio Gucci was born in Italy. I was surprised because he could speak English, French and German. He wanted to sell leather products so he bought little shop and started selling beautiful leather products. Do you know the Gucci lines of green/red/green came from the design of a horse's saddle. I knew by this book!
People liked these products because they were different and strong. Gucci became more and more famous so they moved a store to Roma but sometimes there were fight in the family. Paolo was Guccio Gucci's grandchild, he left the Gucci company and started a new company. He used PG, didn't use GG logo. After Guccio died, Gucci overcome many problems. Now it is impossible to hold big fashion show without Gucci. Everyone know Gucci but only a few people know about their history. Gucci is growing up still.

W7 : My Favorite TV/movie star

     My favorite movie star is Angelina Jolie, do you know her? She is American and she is the daughter of actors Jon Voight. He appeared with her in Tomb Raider. When I watched at the first, I did not know he is real father! She is belonging to UNHCR and keeps giving much money for poor country or group with her lover, actors Brad Pitt. The couple donated the proceeds to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. They don't be married. He said that they would marry when everyone in America is legally able to marry. Pitt appeared with her in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, I like this movie. Angelina is so beautiful, sexy and gracefully in movie. Her eyes have strong light, her lip is red and sexy. However, people say she is like a Mary when she smiles. It is another side.
