This non-Mesoamerican attire is illustrated in the early sixteenth century codex ReJacion de Michoacan and also appears on mortuary figurines from the deep shaft tombs of Ixtlan del Rio, Nayarit ( B.C.- A.D. ). Coeval prototypes of this West Mexican clothing occur archaeologically along that section of the Ecuadorian coast which was the homeland of long-distance merchant navigators. Their trade goods, described by the Spanish, included local-style garments made of wool, a fabric foreign to Mesoamerica. The adoption of this exotic apparel by the West Mexican elite implies an association of great worth and power with those who introduced it. That these agents were Ecuadorian maritime traders is further su

Abstract

Cellulite is an aesthetically distressing skin condition that manifests as dimples and depressions, producing an uneven surface to the skin. Occurring in 80% to 90% of females, mostly on the thighs, buttocks, and hips, it is associated with profound negative psychosocial and quality of life issues. Its ethiopathogenesis and pathophysiology are likely to be multifactorial and complex and not fully understood. There is no effective treatment for cellulite, although a number of different treatment modalities are available, from noninvasive to minimally invasive. The efficacy of most treatments is unpredictable and improvements in cellulite appearance are short lived, although significant progress has been made with newer treatments. This review provides an update on the current state of knowledge about cellulite, with an emphasis on patient assessment and an individualized treatment approach for optimal results.

Level of Evidence: 5

Cellulite is a dermatologic condition that predominantly affects postpubertal females. It is characterized by topographic changes of the skin, especially in areas of greater fat storage, mainly the thighs, buttocks, and hips. Clinically, the topographic changes manifest as dimpling, denting, or nodulation, leading to an uneven surface of the skin. The dimpling gives the skin the appearance of “mattress-like,” “cottage cheese,” or “orange peel,” which is the characteristic clinical appearance of cellulite. Medically, cellulite is referred by various terms, including gynoid lipodystrophy, nodular liposclerosis, edematofibrosclerotic panniculopathy, adiposis edematosa, dermopanniculosis deformans, and status protrusus cutis, reflecting some of the perceived pathophysiology of this condition.

Although a painless condition, because it is aesthetically unappealing, cellulite is associated with profound negative psychosocial effects. Body dissatisfaction, psychosocial distress, anxiety, and decreased quality of life are

In January, the TV series Cristóbal Balenciaga premiered, a story inspired by the life of the Spanish designer during his time in Paris, beginning when he arrived in The plot seeks to explore his personality and what drove him, highlighting key moments in his personal and professional life, such as his relationship with other illustrious designers, the creation of the gazar fabric, the design of Queen Fabiola’s wedding dress, and the creation of Air France’s stewardess uniforms.

Though fashion is present throughout the show’s six episodes, the couturiers’s creations are placed in the background, focusing instead on personal experiences with family, friends, colleagues and employees.

However, several scenes in the first episode present the influences that would come to mark his work. Balenciaga is seen consulting José Ortiz-Echagüe’s book España. Tipos y Trajes (“Spain: people and clothes”) , which details the country’s popular regional dress and costumes. According to writtenworks on the Basque designer, much of his inspiration is derived from Spanish culture, painting and tradition.

For example, his bolero in blue velvet with black felt decoration and beadwork is an interpretation of bullfighters’ extravagant clothing (known in Spanish as traje de luces, literally “suit of lights”), characterised by chromatic contrast and rich embroidery and trimmings. In a similar vein, his dress with black stripes on a red background bears a striking resemblance to the traditional women’s clothing of the Pas valley, in Cantabria.

These influences were also reflected in the exhibition “Balenciaga and Spanish painting”, where pieces by the Basque designer were presented alongside a selection of works by Spanish painters such as Velázquez, Murillo, El Greco and Francisco de Goya.

These included a silk shantung wedding dress embroidered with silver thread () accompanied by the painting “Isabel de Borbón, wife of Felipe IV” by Rodrigo de Villandrando (circa ). Also pre
