What Fashion Styles Say To You?

Sometimes in a year, it happens a movement in fashions. I really don’t know much about each trend, but I can realize when people are wearing different outfits. Trouble is you never know what to buy, because these trends on fashion go away quick. Many times you remember what you used to wear when you were young and can’t believe you liked to wear like that!. This happens often, and it makes me want to buck the trends and dress the way I want to.

What leads to my question: “Who decides the fashion for that time of year?” Is it some overpaid fashion guy in Paris? Why do we allow that individual to tell us what will be in that year? I have watched friends cringe when looking through the new fashion trends, yet they go out and buy the stuff anyway. I’m sorry, but there is no way I’m wearing tapered leg jeans again. I know it is the upcoming fashion nowadays but I can’t go on this, and I will laugh if I see you wearing this! They went out of style for a reason and they should be allowed to rest in peace.

As far as I’m concerned, the latest fashion trends show me how little imagination fashion designers can have. I know it’s hard to come up with something new, but I hardly think recycling the same looks is something that should be considered genius. Why do we have to go back and revisit a decade that we gladly left behind? Come up with something new if you really desire to start fashion tendencies that may stick around for more than five minutes.

The best way to find fashion trends is to ignore what people are wearing and buy what you think you want. Get stuff that looks good on you and your body type. I have seen far too many girls in low-rise jeans and half shirts that should never have even considered wearing them. It’s not fashion if you look comic. Come up with your own fashion trends. This way you will know you look good, and you know that you are truly expressing yourself. There is nothing wrong with wearing the latest fashions as long as you truly feel good in them, and aren’t doing it just because everyone else is doing it. I don’t know about you, but for me, being a clone of everyone is not a good way to be original. There is only one me and I am proud to be who I am, fashion trends be darned.

Made to measure jeans news

Orange-colored custom jeans which once belonged to Michael Jackson are now to be auctioned off. Jeans pants worn by Michael Jackson in his last film “This is it” can become one of the most expensive lots of the auction according to the organizers.

Auction house Nate D. Sanders announced selling famous orange-colored custom design jeans of the king of pop Michael Jackson he used to wear together with a sports jacket and a hat in the dancing scenes of his last film “This is it”. The film was presented soon after Michael’s death and became a hit in many countries, beating the records of box office fot the films of this genre.

Nate D. Sanders auction house specializes on the sells of items which once belonged to celebrities. According to the auction house representatives, the gloves worn by the king of pop used to cost about 0-420 thousand, that is why tailor jeans worn by Michael Jackson will probably become one of the most expensive lots of the auction.

How do the perfect jeans look like? This question bothers fashion industry for a long time already and today designer Willi Bogner seems to find the ingredients for an optimal custom jean pair. They should have a top-fashionable cut, follow the latest trends, fit perfectly, suit individual figure lines of the person wearing them and have a high-quality finishing. That is why jeans by Bogner label are presented this season in a stretch variant, which gives the woman a not reached until now level of elasticity, and thus unlimited freedom of movements. These custom tailored jeans follow every single movement of the body and are not too tight even in the so-called critical places like waist and thighs. Thanks to the special stretch material these jeans guarantee a long-lasting comfort of wear and a perfect fit.

English supermarket chain Asda from now on will offer a new intermediate size of women’s jeans in its product range. The new size number 13 corresponds with the European size 31. The reason for this innovation is the fact only few women were until now lucky to find the right fitting pair of customized jeans at affordable prices. In case this trend is developed no woman will soon be wearing too tight or too loose jeans pants and thus be subject to mockery of other women.  In the nearest future shopping will probably make fun again instead of frustrating.

Denim Fashion Trends Of The Season Spring-Summer 2010

Many spring-summer 2010 fashion shows were carried out under the motto “militarism and craziness” and customized denim fashion revealed these tendencies as well. The most stylish jeans of the season spring-summer 2010 are skinny, torn, of dirty khaki, gray, blue or black colors. They are best of all combined with long sweaters or tops in military style. Other trends are the 1990s and a sexy look.

Dyed jeans are still in, this spring they come in skinny, straight, torn, short and long variants. Another reminder of the 1990s’ fashion are custom jeans in grunge style which look as if they have been worn for several seasons. Boyfriend jeans are still popular too. For example, such jeans can be found in the latest collections of Ralph Lauren and Jean Paul Gaultier. The latter fashion house presented its variation of boyfriend jeans wide on the thighs and tight on the ankles. Unique brand presented their vision of boyfriend style grunge jeans fitting women’s figure, however they are also very relaxed and extremely worn.

Extraordinarily embellished subculture jeans will also be fashionable in the coming season. Trussardi presents its extravagant jeans model 1911 with pockets worn and torn. Just Cavalli denim collection is built on the combination of denim fabric with flower ornaments. Jeans decorated with zippers, rivets, chains and prints are also a trend of spring-summer 2010.

Classical jeans are timeless and in the new season they are certainly worn as well. Worn straight-cut classical jeans can be found in the newest collections of D&G, Getwear, William Rast and Alexander McQueen.

Elegant skinny black jeans are a hit of the coming season, as well as cuts, jeggings and gray jeans. Banana Republic brand also presents denim trench coats and worn denim shirts combined with cotton cardigans and linen dresses. Another novelty of spring-summer 2010 is the use of denim patch pockets.

Denim shorts are of immediate interest during hot summer days. They are comfortable and practical. Spring-summer 2010 season presents ultrashort denim shorts of black and red colors. Torn shorts and shorts with cuts are also in. The best shoes to combine them with are ballerinas and shoes with high heels. The best accessories are massive colliers and bracelets, belt-bracelets and massive sunglasses as well as aviator sunglasses.

Jeans with corsage popular during the season autumn-winter 2009/2010 stay for spring and summer, too. Made to measure jeans with corsage are embellished with buttons and lacing and look exquisite especially in dark colors. Such jeans make your waist look slimmer and your legs visually longer, their importance can not be overstated. The best way is to combine jeans with corsage with a white blouse, short bolero or a jeans jacket. All the more so, double denim stays popular during the coming season, too. And don’t forget about high heels! Stay tuned on GetWear jeans!

Industry of Fashion where I learned

Designer Anand Kabra is a free thinker, unconfined to any conventional style statement. His designs are born from a deeply personal space. His collections always reflect his own inner being while his philosophy is the belief of self expression. A product of international education blended perfectly with core Indian sensibility, this designer knows how to make an individual more glamorous without over powering them with the clothes.

Let’s get to know more about this designer who is termed as ‘the designer for the quintessential global woman’- How designing came into being… I wanted to be a doctor but things just fell into place one after the other for designing. I was sitting in the cafeteria in the London College of Fashion where I learned about form and design. There I discovered that there is no fixed form and definite design for making a collection. Splats of tomato sauce and coffee stains on a chequered table cloth proved the ultimate inspiration!

Your design philosophy… It’s the single thought you unearth after delving into sea of thoughts. It’s the thread I choose to weave into each creation. Latest buzz of one fashion week in Delhi… I have no clue what’s happening, my main concern was to concentrate on my work and how to improve it. Fashion trend getting repetitive… Fashion is always cyclic; you will see the same trend coming up after every 10-12 years. Staging of shows at fashion weeks needs to make business sense. It is not about established or new designers — the objective of showing a collection differs from designer to designer. Some people use it for visibility and some for sales — but whatever the case, it needs to translate into business returns, whether immediate or long-term.

The coming of fashion hub… so you see the plan coming out of paper… I do not know seriously, there is so much happening everywhere that this news has been lost somewhere… at least I can not comment on this. Has recession affected the fashion industry… There are slight changes in the buying pattern and it’s all boiled down to need-based buying as opposed to impulsive buying; everyone is looking to get ‘value for money’ and multiple buys have been reduced to single purchases. The consumer is still willing to spend money provided it is justified.

The designers that you admire… I like the style of French designers, crafts technique of Japan and Indians of course which is the mix of everything. Western silhouettes is as much as part of our Indian ness as is the Indian ethos in international style. Your future projects…I am busy promoting some of my stores then will come up with a new couture range for the next season. I might do Kolkata Fashion Week also.

Fashion Networking

What is fashion networking?

Fashion networking – probably you have heard about it before but you are not sure what is all about. According to the definition social networking is “ a grouping of the individuals into specific groups to meet other internet users in order to share common interest and develop business relations”. Following this definition, fashion networking is a social online community of fashion professionals such as designers, models, photographers, etc. as well as individuals who simply love or are interested in trends and style. Fashion networks, similar as fashion directories, are also places where you can find many companies related to this industry that include rental studios, model agencies, art schools, manufacturers and retailers for the fashion products.

Fashion communities, the same as any other ones are not created, they evolve. The growth of an online community takes time and effort. Fashion is a business, fashion is a lifestyle. And in fashion, all across the town and around the world, connection is everything. Fashion networks are where work connects with online life and new ideas come alive. Is a common place for conversation and collaboration. Members of fashion communities have the chance to search efficiently for all information needed, join the discussions about latest trends, discover new faces, brands and companies in the industry.

The importance of fashion networking

In the past several days some fashion networks has thrived, some vanished while lots of new ones appeared. It has become a huge area to follow and every person in the industry is trying to follow this trend. The friends that you can make are just one of many benefits. The role that the internet can play in the branding, marketing and commercial strategies for fashion companies should not be underestimated. Fashion networks are not only online meeting points for young fashionistas with a small budget but also places boosting sale opportunities for luxury labels. At the same time, they are fashion portals where independent designers present their showcase and well established brands advertise their products.

Fashion Comes Home to the White House ? Creating Your Own Fashion Legacy

There is an enormous buzz around our nation, and even perhaps around the world, about what Michelle Obama will wear to the inauguration today.  It’s an amazing piece of a historic event – the role that FASHION will play – and rightfully so.  The endless newsreels playing for the last few weeks have been looking back at past first ladies and the styles and colors of their inaugural ensembles.  And, of course, in this case, there are two little girls to “ooh and ahh” over as well.  What a day to be a dress maker!

By now, if you were up early, you saw Michelle Obama leave her (very) temporary residence in a golden yellow brocade dress with a matching long jacket and long silk scarf – smiling and waving to news crews as she entered St. John’s Church in Washington DC with her husband – the 44th president of our country.  It felt like every news channel you turned to did a critique of her outfit – how it seemed to match the color of the church – that it was a “happy” color and embraced Mrs. Obama’s joie de vivre when it comes to fashion.  That it was classic, and yet still her own.  (Who can forget the amount of commentary about her daring black and red ensemble on the night of the election?)

I, for one, love the acknowledgement that the media is giving to fashion today.  For those of us in the clothing industry – from fabric designers, to boutique owners, to seamstresses and tailors and factory workers – well, this is a really great day for us.  We are center stage all day today – and we know it!

But truthfully, we know something that everyone else might NOT know.  We are center stage EVERY day – and it’s not just for the big occasions.  (Okay, we don’t all have an inaugural ball to go to, but we all have those once-in-a-lifetime events – like weddings and proms – where we have that “perfect” dress that gets a million photographs.)  Rather, it’s the smaller occasions where WE know that we literally make or break people.  It’s the first date with the best looking guy in the office.  (And it’s the dinner where you meet his parents.)  It’s every single day that you go to work.  What we do matters.  It really matters.  We are literally the thread that ties us all together, from generation to generation. 

Clothing isn’t just something to buy, wear, and toss away.  Be sure to save those special pieces to hand down to your daughters and nieces.  Fashion has a way of coming around again and again (can you say skinny jeans?).   And what doesn’t come around becomes great stuff for school plays and Halloweens (poodle skirts and white leisure suits, anybody?).  For plus size women, there’s also the tremendous honor of having some great fashion in the right size when the young women in your life are struggling – both financially and with their identities.  Even plus size women like Oprah Winfrey have shared that finding the right dress in her size has driven her to tears on the MOST special occasions, like the Emmy’s.

You will be more than the hero when you have that gorgeous plus size little black dress for someone’s special New Year’s Eve – or a beautiful plus size blouse to accent a great suit for that big interview.  As plus size women, we KNOW how important it is to dress to impress and dress for success!  Having those special wardrobe pieces to pass down is pretty wonderful.

I have visions of Michelle Obama’s daughters, one day in the far future, unwrapping beautiful dresses from some treasured garment bag wrapped carefully in tissue paper, and saying to their own daughters, “This is the dress your grandmother wore to meet the King of England, and this is what she wore when she met the President of France.”  Our clothing is far more than what it seems; it’s part of our life story.  So the next time you have a great dress that you adore, take a picture of yourself in it at the occasion and then, when you save that dress and wrap it carefully in tissue, throw the picture in the box too.  We aren’t all “The First Lady” but we ARE all part of a very intimate history to be treasured as part of our own legacy.

Looking Forward To Fashion Trendy From “Sex and the City 2″

Samantha, Miranda, Carrie, and Charlotte reunited for the “Sex and the City” film sequel in New York City, all looking dressed to kill in designer duds. The girls of Sex and the City 2 got together in a group shot. Samantha, Miranda, Carrie, and Charlotte smiled for the cameras while decked out in fabulous outfits and accessories. What we can expect when the film hits screens. We can see: Kim Cattrall sports a body-hugging black dress with a python VBH Palm clutch. Cynthia Nixon wears a flattering rustic, orange dress complimented Yves Saint Laurent Triumph platforms heels. Sarah Jessica Parker is decked out in a Halston Heritage dress, Chanel clutch, Christian Louboutin Pigalle with fiery red heels, and a Solange Azagury-Partridge necklace. She topped off the outfit with Mykita & Bernhard Willhelm shades. Kristin David was head to toe in hot pink Christian Dior: a skirt, jacket, Pink Lady Dior handbag. Which gal do you think looks best? “Sex and the City 2″ now feels like it has truly begun, as we have finally seen our favorite foursome together again!

Summer 2010 Women’s Fashion: What To Wear When The Ash Cloud Subsides

The sheer bad luck of the travel industry over the last nine months is enough to make anyone with a belief in the law of averages simply break down and weep. First of all the weakness of the pound, then the sapping bad timing of a World Cup and a general election falling close together, and then, to top it all off, throw in an angry volcanic nimbus for that extra little bit of chaos. But bookings currently show that this has done little to detract from our hopefulness about securing our own few weeks in the sun. In many cases, especially with the ash cloud having forced many to opt for ferries and other means of transport, companies are experiencing rising levels of passenger numbers for June and July. In the same way,women’s fashion for summer is throwing off all thought of seasonal disaster and getting stuck straight in at the deep end. Let’s take a look at some of the new arrivals making waves in the bid for must-have wardrobe essential in summer 2010: Maxi Dress: There’s not a single item you’ll hear raged more about in the fashion news of recent times, and with the embracing of a kind of revival of ’80s Italian designer penchant for high-floral, paisley, and print tones, this summer’s range of maxi dresses will leave you with the greatest freedom of choice in colour and pattern. Effortlessly cool but with that winning edge of glamour about it, the maxi holds its ground well as a summer must. Playsuit: Though not for everyone, the playsuit is holding its own as a contender for vital suitcase space for women’s holiday wear this year. There’s something tremendously girly about the playsuit that doesn’t appeal to everyone, but worn with the conviction of a Grace Kelly photoshoot, it can really turn on the charm. ShortShorts: So we’ve had last year’s celebrity beach snaps of long denims and boyish surfer shorts, but this year we’re expecting something that is not afraid to show some leg. Tight fold-over brief-like numbers, accentuating running shorts, and anything else above the thigh. The shorter the better is the way to go this year. Boyfriend Jeans: For the off-the-beach profile to go with some great gladiator sandals, the catwalk-heavy baggy jeans trend seems to be on its way out. The new rage at the moment is for the ‘boyfriend’ cut of jeans, and the permutations of that name being taken out by several brands; worn but relatively close across the thigh, and slightly tapered in the leg, worn turned up. The great accompaniment to a bikini top and camisole. Kaftan: For covered-up chic this year when the sun’s a little too fierce for your liking, the kaftan is set to be the true beach darling this summer. Coming on the back of the Global Traveller trend, the kaftan is great with plain shorts and sandals, big sunglasses, and a classic beach bag. Available this year in more bright colours than you can possibly imagine.
