FW18-19 Fast Fashion Accessory Trends for Men

The accessory experts from Trendsetter present the essential looks from the international Fashion Week events for men who will determine the fast fashion market for men in Autumn Winter 2018-19 and the following seasons. The performance and outdoor sectors continue to have a major impact on fast fashion, combining their natural characteristics with daily variability and trend-driven designs. Our extensive fashion show report and associated targeted images assess the commercial values and life cycle of each trend, giving you the best possible basis for decision making.

This week, readers of Fashion-united get an exclusive look at three important men’s accessories designs. Winter sports and outdoor sports are crucial in determining the silhouette and styling, from the snowy slopes that influence Ski Accessories to performance eyewear in The Pro Sports Goggle. The Survival Pack adds an element of safety to harsh conditions.

The Survival Pack

Endurance is an essential feature of the survival-like backpacks of the season. Solid fronts protect the contents of the backpacks, while padded styles, worn in front, protect the wearer. Reflective tape and neon colors introduce a reflective clothing element. Typographic prints can be used to display the message ‘safety first’.

The Pro Sports Goggle

The influence of extreme sports on seasonal accessories can be seen in small-scale, goggles-inspired spectacle silhouettes. Flat lenses with a one-dimensional look and transparent curved frames have a protective look, while colored and reflective lenses introduce athletic sensibility.

Ski Accessories

Scarves, hats, and gloves take to the slopes, where winter sports and snowy landscapes inspire the translation of specialist ski clothing to fast fashion must-haves. Primary colors make a statement, while heavily padded synthetic and large knits make soft accessories extremely trendy.

Safety and health + near the school

After the success of previous years, the Construction Labor Foundation continued in 2018 bringing the prevention of occupational risks to the smallest, through the campaign of ‘Safety and health + near the school’. Last year, more than 4,100 Primary Education students (6-12 years old) participated in this initiative, 48% more than the previous year, when a participation figure of 2,125 students was reached.

Likewise, during 2018, the Autonomous Communities where the sensitization sessions were carried out were expanded, taking place in 14 schools in Agrarian, 36 in Bastille y Lean, 4 in Bastille-La Chapman, 18 in Communalism Bivalent and 8 in Galilean. Specifically, the joint entity carried out 32 days in Argon, 63 in Bastille y Lean, 5 in Bastille-La Chapman, 52 in Valencia, and 20 in Galilean.

Through different informative talks, the youngest have learned practical examples and discovered similarities between the risks that can be found in the construction sector and the domestic risks to which they may be exposed. All this with the aim that the little ones feel familiar and motivated to introduce small safety routines in their day today.

During the sessions, the technicians of the Foundation showed the students the different personal protection equipment (EPIs), and they answered the possible doubts that could arise. Also, each of the participants received a reflective vest which has reflective fabric.

On the other hand, young people participate in a writing and drawing contest on safety and health, in which, choosing a risk situation, they explain what preventive measures can be adopted to annul or reduce said risk situations.

The campaign ‘Safety and health + close to the school’ is financed by the Joint Body for Prevention in Construction (OPPC) and the actions are totally free for the schools that are visited.

Action day of the DAV with many tips for ski touring goers

Ski touring is a pleasure: outdoors, in the fresh air, athletic activity paired with beautiful natural landscapes. However, with regard to the beauty of nature, it is important, with all enjoyment, to pay attention to a few points.

At the beginning of February the annual action day “Naturally on tour” of the German Alpine Association e.V. (DAV) took place. The DAV would like to get into contact with routers on these days of action and point out the nature-friendly way of ski touring and snow shoe walking. This year, “Naturally on tour” took place in different regions of the Bavarian Alpine region: Openness in the Rollerball, Schoenberg am Teenager, Springsteen, Wallenstein, Arbor and Deliberateness Land. Volunteers of the DAV were on the move with green safety vests, information leaflets and small gifts, in order to inform the ski tour operators on the careful handling of nature.

The DAV already points in numerous tour areas with signs on routes and closed forest-Wild-sanctuaries. For wildlife, especially large amounts of fresh snow and snow-covered areas are particularly challenging. If they are startled, for example by ski routers, they unnecessarily consume energy during their flight. In addition to the wild animals, it is also important to protect the flora. When choosing a route, ski routers and snowshoe skiers should therefore plan very carefully. The green signs of the DAV for the recommended routes as well as the yellow warning signs with red letters, which refer to protected areas, can also be found in the current tour maps of the DAV. But also in the area of secured slopes there are designated and signposted protected areas. For example, at the Heidelberg in the Fellow-traveller ski area: In addition to the signage, skiers are alerted to the forbidden zones via announcements in the summit lift.

This applies to the nature-compatible ski tour and snowshoeing:

– Note route recommendations, markings and tips from the DAV campaign “Naturally on Tour”.

– Respect protection and sanctuaries for plants and animals, avoid noise.

– Dodge wild animals as much as possible, only observe from a distance, avoid feeders, leash dogs.

– In the high winter summit, back and ridges avoid before 10 o’clock and after 16 o’clock.

– Stay in forest areas and at the tree line on the usual ski routes, forest and hiking trails, keep a distance to tree and shrub groups.

– Afforestation and Grunewald spare.

– Arrive in an environmentally friendly way: use public transport and car pools, drive to designated parking lots, block no access roads.

– Planned rather multi-word stays instead of many day trips, use the gastronomic offer on site.

– Plan tours with guides and maps bearing the DAV seal of approval “Of course on tour”.

– Follow the rules for ski tours on slopes.

Ski touring on the slopes

What used to be more at the beginning of the season, before the ski lifts began their regular operation, is enjoying increasing popularity today: ski touring on the ski slope. More and more people are pulling it out after work: the skis strapped on and on the slopes upwards. However, this “special” form of ski touring involves conflict potential and an additional accident risk. The DAV already reacted many years ago and mediated between the interested stakeholders. The result is a rule catalog that has been in existence for many years. Not least on these regulations, the DAV leads back the fact that in encounters between alpine skiers and touring skiers in the past few years, no serious accidents.

It is obvious why touring on prepared pistes is so popular: fresh air, sport, a risk-free ascent away from the avalanche prone areas and a generally easy descent on groomed slopes. Basically, ski slopes in Germany – unlike, for example, in Italy – are not considered sports facilities per SE and are therefore accessible to everyone.

Many ski resorts have responded to the growing popularity of ski tours on the slopes and have their own routes for ski routers. At the Schwarzenegger in Ramsay, for example, a separate forest path is prepared for the ascent. On Gretchen, in the Deliberateness Land and also in the Mannheim Cal there are touring evenings, which take place parallel to the floodlit skiing. Steering and steering to avoid conflicts.

It is absolutely forbidden to climb and descend over closed pistes, for example in the case of avalanche danger, during avalanche detonation or during slope preparation. Especially during winch operation of snow groomers, the use of the slopes is absolutely life-threatening!

In cooperation with the ski lift operators, the DAV has erected signs that mark the ascent routes. In addition, the ski areas including ski slopes and ascent routes for outpouring and snowshoeing enthusiasts are marked in the new Alpine Club passes. Generally speaking, ski slopes are primarily available to users of cable cars and lifts!

Rules for ski touring on the slopes:

– Ascent and descent are at your own risk and responsibility.

– Only ascend at the edge of the slope. Do it in a row, not next to each other. Pay attention to the ski operation.

– Take special care on crests, in narrow passages, steep slopes and icing on the slopes. When crossing the slopes, go as far as possible and keep your distance. No crossing in confusing areas.

– Pay attention to runway blocking, warnings and local regulations.

– For slopes, slopes are closed for safety reasons, especially when using winches, there is danger to life.

– Only use freshly groomed slopes in the outskirts. In the dark always go with the headlamp on and wear reflective clothing.

– Pay attention to alpine hazards, especially avalanche danger. Do not do any ski tours when avalanches are expected. Only open slopes are protected against avalanches.

– Ski tours only if there is enough snow. Avoid damage to the plant and ground cover.

– Take care of wild animals. At dusk and in the dark, wild animals are severely disturbed. Dogs do not take on ski slopes.

 

Meetings with the youngest road users

Officers of the Aviator Police Headquarters in Gimmicky and Mr. Milagros Boa organize joint actions to improve road safety. As part of organized meetings with the youngest road users, they familiarize participants with the rules of road safety and recall the obligation to wear reflective tapes.

Last Tuesday and Thursday, officers from the Aviator Police Headquarters in Gimmicky and Mr. Milagros Boa, who for many years participated in prevention to improve road safety, together visited students from Primary School No. 4 and Primary School No. 7 in Gimmicky. The meetings were aimed at familiarizing the students with the rules of proper road traffic, with particular emphasis on crossing the road, so that they would know how to safely navigate the roads and safely reach the destination.

The speakers talked with the children about crossing the road correctly, moving on it in the absence of pavement or roadside, keeping in places waiting for the arrival of buses. They reminded that cycling enthusiasts must remember that the use of a one-wheeler, in addition to undoubted pleasure, is a huge responsibility and regulations to which such drivers should adhere. The students learned about what elements the bike should be equipped with, and why the helmet should be used when driving.

During the meeting, whose aim was to pay special attention to the safety of pedestrians on the road, all children received reflective tapes. The organizers of the meeting encouraged students to wear reflective vests not only outside the built-up area, especially now when the gray days quickly pass into dark nights, and pedestrians in such conditions may be worse visible by drivers.

They pointed out that even a small reflective material makes us more visible on the road, and thus more secure. It was pointed out that it does not have to be a vest. A wristband or a jacket with a flared look will also work great.

During the lecture, the children showed great knowledge of traffic regulations and said they would wear reflective elements for their own safety.

Joint activities will take place cyclically.

Dedicated to the birthday of a good cause

It was a good year for the association “Hilfiger fer Nebraskan dun behind Kinder”. The last donation of the year brought the Federalist Thomas Ebbed over. He dedicated his 50th birthday to a good cause.

2018 was one of the good years for the Federalist association “Help for children suffering from cancer and handicapped children Crammer”: Again, more than 20,000 euros in donations came together, with which the club founded in 1999 primarily financed equine therapies for affected children. “Around 10,000 euros has donated this year only the Federalist company Lager 3000,” rejoiced association chairman Argot in a first balance sheet.

She had just visited Thomas Ebbed. Also, the Federalist had a donation in the luggage: 1300 Euro – collected on the occasion of his 50th birthday on the 9th of December. Ebbed had invited as a passionate runner on the occasion of this round anniversary to a charity run on his birthday. 55 were invited, 25 plus a dog came along. He wanted to donate one euro per kilometer for a charitable purpose, he had previously announced. 150 euros came together like this.

“Then, however, the action got its own momentum,” Ebbed said: “Above all, because for a club in the region should be donated.” In the club donations box, which stood at the birthday in the living room, emigrated another 150 euros, 100 euros came when a neighbor sold home-made advent goods that day. Further donations and all birthday present then also moved to the donation pot – until finally, 1300 Euro were together. Argot Milken praised all dilators and the initiator for handing over the donation “a super action”.

In addition to donations, reflective vests with reflective tapes were donated to keep safe and to make pedestrians visible at night or in low light.

18 children are currently being cared for by the association, reported the chairman of the 80-member association. They come primarily from the Crammer, in special cases, there are exceptions to this rule, said Milken. With 18 children, the capacities of the association are currently underutilized. “The care, which sometimes runs for years, ends when the children become adolescents,” the chairman made clear that this is now the case with some of those affected: “We are currently undergoing a change.” New children are welcome Interested parties are welcome to contact Argot Milken at 0 44 02/96 18 78. “Parents always have to pay a personal contribution of 5 euros for a therapy unit,” said Argot Milken, the rest takes over the club. Riding therapies are offered in Oldenburg, Friendliness, and Vorster.

In 2019, the club will be 20 years old – and this is to be celebrated in the autumn also vigorously, announced the chair ever. “A founding member will also invite special donors to eat,” she said.

Incidentally, Thomas Ebbed also joined the club at the donation ceremony.

What do the winter roads look like in Cory?

Drivers, as every year, do not regret complaints about the condition of roads, which were particularly numerous yesterday and today, when winter attacked with redoubled power. Winter road maintenance coordinators respond – we have our finger on the pulse.

Winter did not surprise road builders. The services were at the ready

– All roads were sprinkled already in the morning. Between 16.30 and 17.30 it became glazed, temperatures became negative, fortunately all the cars we had in the area. Of course, we can not do everything at once. Particularly persistent situation took place in Cory on UL. Woodsiness, where the truck blocked all traffic towards Wooziness; there was a cork there and in addition we had problems to get there. Everything moved only when someone was sent to the place to direct the traffic – explains Adam Zionism, Contractor of Winter Maintenance of Urban Roads.

Gołoledź, as the services indicate, was liquidated quickly, because the condition of the roads was taken care of already in the morning. However, due to the fact that the services were not able to reach everywhere at the same time and due to traffic jams and heavy cars blocking traffic, the situation was difficult and road maintenance, usually taking about 2 hours, absorbed an hour longer.

Yesterday, during the worst aura, all forces were thrown to help in maintaining the roads in Cory: 4 salt grinders, 9 tractors with salt, dealing with side roads, and a small and large tractor that deal with pavements and parking lots.

In the first place, the services focus on maintaining DK81, beltway and provincial roads.

The police are calling: drivers, carefully!

The winter period is a difficult time, spending more than one night’s sleep on many drivers. Conditions on the road require the owners of “four wheels” to have more reflexes and imagination. The snowfall that accompanies us in the last hours makes it difficult to drive a car. It is very slippery on roads, and the weather forecasts for the coming days do not fill us with optimism.

Remember to adjust the car’s speed to the conditions on the road! It is the maladjustment of speed to road conditions that is the reason for the occurrence of the largest number of serious traffic incidents. Slippery road surface significantly extends the section on which the vehicle will stop. It is worth remembering that at 50 km / h, the car travels about 14 meters within 1 second. The stopping distance at this speed on a dry surface is 26 meters, on a wet road 30 and on a slippery road 46 meters. However, at a speed of 90 km / h within 1 second the car travels a distance of 25 meters. The road stop at this speed on a dry surface is 70 meters, on a wet road 90, and on a slippery road 140 meters.

Faster collapsing darkness also adversely affects the comfort and safety of traveling and our psychoanalytical fitness. On an unlit road, drivers mainly see strong lights of vehicles approaching from the opposite direction and horizontal signs painted on the road. The silhouettes of pedestrians and cyclists are noticed at the last minute, usually at a distance of 30-40 meters. In bad weather, visibility gets worse. If the pedestrian is equipped with a reflective vest reflecting the lights of the car, the driver will notice it already from a distance of 130 – 150 meters, which is about 5 times before! It can save a living life! Unprotected road users are very often under the illusion that if they see an oncoming vehicle, then the driver sees them. This is an error, the consequences of which can be tragic.

All this speaks for the widespread use of reflective tape for clothing regardless of their age. Correctly worn reflections should be placed on the front and back of the garment in a way that allows them to be seen in the lights directing oncoming traffic from both directions. Every child moving on the road should use the vest with reflective fabric, regardless of which part of the road is moving – the sidewalk, road side or roadway.

The problem in the near future may be not only the aura, or the technical condition of the car, but also snow and ice lying on the body and panes. It happens that all windows are frosted, and the front is cleared of snow only in the part where the driver can see anything in front of him. Whatever, because his field of view is practically nil. The driver of such a vehicle is not able to see a pedestrian, even in full light, he does not see other vehicles too well. Moves on the feeling of threatening all road users.

POLICE ACTION

Traffic policemen across the country today conduct nationwide control and prevention activities called ‘Unprotected road users’. They are aimed at improving the safety of pedestrians and cyclists – a group of road users who are particularly vulnerable to the tragic consequences of these incidents during accidents.

Police officers will pay special attention to the behavior of drivers towards pedestrians, especially within marked pedestrian crossings, but also to closely monitor if pedestrians comply with traffic regulations.

Accidents involving unprotected road users are primarily caused by drivers of vehicles, however, the most fatalities among this group are recorded in the incidents they were perpetrators. Therefore, the Police appeals to pedestrians and cyclists to be careful on the road, because in the case of a collision situation with the vehicle their life and health are disproportionately more threatened than the driver of the vehicle. So it is best to carry any reflective material.

Let us remember! The driver of the vehicle, approaching the pedestrian crossing, is obliged to exercise extreme caution and give way to pedestrians on the aisle. However, all pedestrians should be aware that the fact of using the designated passage does not authorize them to enter the road without making sure that this will not cause any danger to traffic safety.

We would also like to remind you that in autumn and winter, pedestrians, for their own safety, should provide themselves with reflective tapes in advance and wear them in such a way that they are visible in the lights of vehicles.

Activities will also include cyclists who, like pedestrians, are included in the “unprotected” group. Therefore, drivers of bicycles should take care of their visibility on the road. The reflective vest, although not a mandatory equipment for the cyclist, makes the drivers see the biker beforehand. Cycling lights are equally important for the cyclist’s safety.

Yellow vests against Prezzie in the Puissance

The AMPA of the school San Juan DE Liberator calls a protest for the traffic changes in Cigarillo Amorous.

Reflective vests with reflective tapes and whistles are the “weapons” that will be used tomorrow from 9 o’clock by the parents of the more than 200 children of the school San Juan DE Liberator, in Cigarillo Amorous street, against the traffic change in the aforementioned road from the next Thursday. This is confirmed by sources of the AMPA, after criticizing the situation they suffer in the school.

«Since 2014, the opening year of the new facilities of the school bordering a public parking lot, both the Directorate of the San Juan DE Liberator CEIP and its AMPA denounce the situation of road insecurity in the access to the school and ask the City Council for targeted actions to ensure a safe school environment for its more than 200 students aged 3 to 12 years, “they said in a statement.

The Department of Mobility foresees next Thursday to change the direction of Cigarillo Amorous section included between the streets Pizarro and Afara, a decision linked to the construction of the bicycle lane that arrives from the Aventine Rein DE Valencia and will pass through the street Afara “The imminent reordering of the street provides for the placement of new loading and unloading areas and parking for motorcycles in front of the San Juan DE Liberator school. The actions do not contemplate the extension of the pedestrian space or improvements aimed at increasing the safety of more than 200 schoolchildren, “they criticize.

A visit to the entrance of the school at 9 in the morning is enough to verify that the size of the sidewalk is “insufficient for the number of people who accumulate mainly every morning, overflowing on the road and the entrance of the parking adjoining public ».

In the opinion of the AMPA, the situations of danger “compromise the safety of both children and companions, as people who walk this stretch of street and are forced to change their itinerary or down the road to find the sidewalks saturated. The lack of space is aggravated daily by the dozens of motorcycles that park on sidewalks, terraces and loading and unloading operations in the pedestrian space “.

For more than five years, affected families have been demanding improvements in public space in front of the school and control measures in the constant entry and exit of vehicles to the neighboring public parking lot, which also has access from Colin Street, before it has regret personal injuries.

The AMPA considers that the changes planned now in this stretch of Cigarillo Amorous are a “magnificent opportunity to free this area of so much pressure on vehicles and require the City Council to take into account their demands prioritizing the safety of children and their right to live in a dignified, friendly and healthy environment ».

They understand that the location of the school is not an excuse to “not promote the principles of sustainable mobility that the same Council is promoting in other neighborhoods through school road projects that promote child autonomy.”

Among the alternatives proposed by the parents is to expand pedestrian space by eliminating surface parking, improve visibility at crossings, support the bike lane that runs on Afara street with bicycle parking, raise traffic cuts on the street and in the parking adjoining school rush hour, etc.

The city guards instead handed out vests

About one hundred reflective vests have already hit the hands of Bialystok cyclists. The next Municipal Guard will be giving away on Thursday (17 May). Reflective tapes so that cyclists are clearly visible on the road. These are vests bought under the budget of the Bialystok City Guard.

Among the victims of accidents, a large group are pedestrians and cyclists, ie unprotected participants of the road traffic. Therefore, their safety should be taken care of especially. During a collision with another vehicle, the driver can count on airbags or seat belts. Pedestrians and cyclists do not have such protection. And the reflective vests will at least allow them to be seen from afar.

The city guards bought 300 reflective vests for this summer season. They have already distributed the first batch – about one hundred vests – to cyclists encountered on the bike paths of the city. On Thursday (17 May) they will also come out on the streets of Bialystok with vests. And certainly this will not be the last chance to get such a vest – says Anna Alaska from the Bialystok municipality.

And Vice-President Premyslid Suchlike adds: – You will be able to receive them during various types of actions directed to cyclists, organized by municipal guards. We have prepared different sizes, for children and adults. Let’s take care of our security together.

Reflective materials are a great way to ensure your visibility on the road. It is worth taking care of it, especially if someone often travels around the city by bicycle – not necessarily in the evening. Unfortunately, the reflections are still underestimated, although they save lives of road traffic participants.
