Content notes for "A Great Deal of Energy and Determination"
Here are the content notes for "A Great Deal of Energy and Determination."
"Dreams can still come true; you need a great deal of energy and determination, and a little bit of luck."
-- Stefano Gabbana
"I don't have the time to be bored."
-- Stefano Gabbana
"Each one of us interprets various stimuli according to our own personal sensibility."
-- Stefano Gabbana
"We don't think only men can be powerful and strong. Behind the heads of the Mafia, the leaders of culture, there are always very strong women. European culture is a matriarchy, especially in the south. The women have a lot of power."
-- Stefano Gabbana
Many colors, especially bright ones, can be irritating or uplifting depending on the context, tone, and viewer's mood. Yellows can easily feel like too much, but a pale sunshine yellow or deeper goldenrod are gentler on the eyes.
See Halley's T-shirt with olive and mustard stripes over khaki shorts with green dragonflies and yellow sneakers.
Borrowed from Italian dolce far niente (literally “sweet doing nothing, sweet idleness”).
Sheer indulgent relaxation and blissful laziness, the enjoyment of idleness.

Despite the fact that women care more about fashion and spend far more money on it, men dominate the industry. This is one of the few examples of sexism that has a very simple solution: if women are unhappy with a male-dominated fashion industry, then all they have to do is buy clothes made by other women, and eventually that will shift the balance. Regardless of people's budget and clothing needs, they have free choice among which of the available products to buy. Alternatively they could make their own clothes, but few people have time for that anymore.
The main fashion seasons are Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. In June, the Spring/Summer season would be winding down, with the Fall/Winter season expected to launch in July. So it's late in the game to make changes for the Fall/Winter collection, but if there's a serious mismatch between the clothes and the social climate, then some options are available. The easiest is to drop garments or colors that really clash for some reason. It's too late to come up with new prints or garment designs in most cases. However, adding new solid colors in the same fabrics and designs is much easier. So to cope with the major and long-lasting upheaval from the Big One, the brightest colors can be dropped and replaced with something darker. An exception is with certain things like scarves, which are easy to produce and do not require fancy tailoring. Introducing a new scarf can be as simple as uploading a new program for the silk-printing or weaving equipment. This makes it possible to update the collection as the season progresses, keeping it fresh and timely.

Irish Color Wheel
There is a color in Irish perception (and also an eye color) often rendered as "yellow-grey" in English. I've seen plenty of references to that, and some possibilities in Irish Gaelic, but I haven't seen them directly connected. Of the two options I've found, liathbhuí (sallow) is made from the words for light gray and yellow, likely referring to a pale shade such as sunlit clouds; while buíghorm (yellow-blue, but not green) comes from the words for yellow and dark blue to black, likely referring to a dark shade of warm gray.
buí [bˠiː] - yellow
Etymology: from the Old Irish buide.
Expressions / Related words
• buíocán - yolk, primrose
• buíochán - jaundice
• le buíochan na gréine - with the mellowing (tanning) of the sunlight, in late afternoon
• buíochan an fhómhair - the ripening of the harvest, the mellowing change of autumn
liath [ˈlʲiə] - grey, light-blue, grey haired
Etymology: from Early Irish líath. Related to the Welsh llwyd, the Old Breton loit, the Middle Breton loet, from *leito-/*pleito-/*peleito-, from Greek pelitnós, from the Proto-Indo-European root *pel- (grey, dull colour, pallor)
Expressions
• liathbhán - pale, pallid, wan
• liathbhuí - sallow
• liathchorcra - lilac
UNUSUAL FEATURES IN THE COLOUR CLASSIFICATION OF MODERN IRISH
Under these terms, an Irish colour term such as glasrua does not refer to ‘greenish red’ but to an unsaturated subset of red, or to a greyish tone of red. This ‘polarity’ compound seems to be the only one included in the FGB dictionary, yet it does not have any tokens in the NCE, and only one of my informants (informant 9) recognised it as a colour compound. My informants did mention these other ‘polarity’ compounds: dubhgeal (lit. ‘black-white’ or ‘black-bright’; informants 3, 9, 10, 15, and 16); buíghorm (lit. ‘yellow-blue’; informants 13 and 18); deargghlas (lit. red-grue’; informants 2 and 12); and ciarbhán (lit. ‘black-white’; informants 15, 16, and 19). Other languages also seem to have colour words that denote polarities: Pukapuka (Cook Islands) has a colour term that translates into English as ‘yellow, blue’ (McNeill 1972: 24-25), and Karajá (Brazil) and Lele (Chad) both have terms that denote yellow or green or blue (information obtained from the Typological Database System).

colorway (plural colorways)
1. (art) Any of the schemes of two or more colors in which a design is available. It is often used to describe variegated or ombre (shades of one color) print yarns, fabric, or thread. It can also be applied to apparel, to wallpaper and other interior design motifs, and to specifications for printed materials such as magazines or newspapers.
Many species of coral are threatened by climate change. Sustainable coral may be sourced in various ways including upcycled from old jewelry, farmed fresh for harvest, or salvaged from coral formations damaged by storms or other incidents. In Terramagne, artisans who work with coral often donate part of the proceeds to coral restoration projects. Some countries only allow the gathering and sale of salvaged coral pieces by conservation staff, who sell it to help support refuges.
