2. One shoulder dresses

Sexy and in same time chic, the one shoulder dress was the “IT” item for the raving clubbing nights. It was the right way to adventure in a world of colors, sparkling fabrics, and the long lost combination of the sexiest fashion ever. One shoulder dresses raved on the red carpet at Hollywood, on the silhouette of the US first lady, complimented a lovely night out and they are a keeper for the wardrobe of 2010. So don’t throw them out just yet.

Top 10 Designer Bags That Rock The Apparel World

A lady’s bag tells the story of her fabulous self. It is only proper to say that the previous statement stands for why and how a bag is chosen and what is that particular reason, making a certain lady pick a certain bag from a world full of bag choices.

But how did the bags become style definition signatures? From the very early designers that made a name for themselves introducing in the world of fashion a creative new trend, the handbags became more than a mere accessory and turned into a way of putting a stylish punch line to the entire outfit a lady wears.

That “IT “ factor that defined all the fashionable haute couture collections developed a predilection for handbags and turned out to be a cocktail of features like style, representation, association and marketing techniques that make the bags be likable and desirable by their feminine audience.

Top 12 Runway Model Mishaps

Sometimes models trip and then there are times when models FALL. We have compiled some of the best (or worst; I guess) runway spills.

1. Milana Bogolepova:

Tough life in Dior shoes. Since elegant is seldom comfortable a “ballet” movement balancing the arms didn’t help her much while doing acrobatic tightrope walking on a rather large runway for 2008 Christian Dior cruise collection. Cool dress, amazing legs, stylish hairstyle and…literally “killer shoes”. If she couldn’t walk in them, how about the rest of the women?

2. Elise Crombez:

Maybe it was the fault of the hip aviator glasses or simply her tight upright diva walk, so proud to present at Proenza Schouler’s spring 2007 fashion show, made her forget she was on high heels and she should have minded her ankle movement. So one attempted slight turn and down she went.

The Top Ten Trends Of Spring/Summer 2009

With a new fashion season fast approaching, we look back at the runway trends that easily transitioned into everyday, high street fashion.

Spring/Summer 2009 was a happy mishmash of style contradictions: comfortable but tasteful dressing, structured and architectural pieces, fluid and draping dresses, bohemian dressing, and an undeniable ’80s flashback that saw fashion reviving some of the trends from this “decade of excess”, which we never thought will ever see the light of day again.

There are so many interpretations of the different looks that designers sent down the runways, and this list doesn’t even capture half of all of these looks.

However, these are the looks that were deemed most wearable—meaning they suited even us mere mortals who don’t have the gams and sizes of those ladies who walked the runways. Here, in no particular order, are the top ten looks from spring/summer 2009.

Kardashian Babes Go Into Fashion Designing

Celebrities launching their own designer lines of clothes and accessories are the latest in thing, so the Kardashian sisters have launched their own collection now! The Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe collection for babes will be in stores soon.

The collection has been designed with input from all the sisters and they are thrilled about it.

The collection is supposed to have clothes meant for women with different body shapes.

As Kim puts it that the sisters have different body types, so they were aware that women in America have different bodies and different style needs. Kim describes the collection as an extension of her personality and calls it very versatile.

The collection has dresses suitable for wearing during the day and also as evening wear. The collection goes on sale from the 11th of February. There is quite a buzz about the clothes collection for babes.

The fashion scenes are full at the moment: the newest trends for the spring season, mixtures of style and functionality to match these times of crisis, and oh so many options.

Alexander Wang hits the catwalks and the stores with another stunning  collection: the somewhat bizarre, funky and nature inspired accessories. You will be able to order them online too pretty  soon, but until then let us wave a look at what is in store from the fabulous Alexander Wang.

Bags and shoes ready for any occasion you can possibly think of if you are planning to be anything but conventional. Some of the pieces de resistance have been shown on the catwalks, admired and desired from the last year’s late September and now they are preparing to hit the market and make some clients happy.

Emo For Girls: Attitude

emo fashionNow that you have at least considered the Emo look and maybe you have since mastered the look you need to get down the Emo attitude.

The Emo attitude is an all-encompassing attitude from the way you carry yourself, the music you listen to and likes and dislikes.

To truly be Emo you need to have the following bands in your iPod playlist: Thrice, Refused, Thursday, Onlinedrawing, Cohead and Cambria and Desaparecidos.

Once your iPod playlist is appropriate for your new Emo attitude and lifestyle you need to learn what to like and dislike to truly be Emo.

You need to like making out, scene points and the guest list and you must dislike boys who break their edge, paying for shows and by all means you must dislike Avril Lavigne.

Beyonce Is All About Couture And Has A Grammy Performance To Prove It

After winning no less than 6 Grammys in this year’s edition of the fabulous awards, Beyonce Knowles has left a strong impression also through her chick outfits, signed by Stephanie Rolland, Armani and Versace.

The display of her first dress, a haute couture creation in gentle pink, was shortly followed by a black one, made of leather pieces and finally by a splendid Armani piece, a generous display of Swarovski crystals.

This year’s champion in nominations, Beyonce has established a record that no one seems to be able to break yet: most Grammy awards received in one evening.

She left home with the titles of best pop vocal, best R&B song, best R&B contemporary album, best song of the year, best live R&B singer and best traditional R&B interpretation, most of them due to her number one song “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”.

The Luxury Is Back In The World Of Fashion

The world of fashion seems to have rediscovered a long lost sense of elegance and style.

In last week show of couture in Paris, the flower applications have conquered the audience, as well as the silk textures.

While Anna Wintour showed up in a black dress signed Chanel and made of tweed, the sensual Kylie Minogue appeared in a short Dior piece, silvery-gray colored, with her hot summer shoes defying the under zero temperatures outside.

No wonder it was declared at the end of the show that both she and the models will need to return to reality – after such an elegant display inspired, as John Galliano himself admitted, by the otherworldly Belle Époque dresses you can only find in an old British couturier’s workshop.

Eternally A Diva, Forever Sexy

The Fall fashions are in and they look great. I have a lot of shopping to do this season and I am loving the diva-like styles. Divas are sexy, classy, and they know what they want and so do l.

Also, my best friend’s wedding is coming up and I know exactly what I want. It will be easy to match what I already have to what I buy this season because the styles are timeless and graceful.

bridesmaidFirst of all, my best friend’s wedding is the highlight of the season and it requires that I look my absolute best. Luckily, I am going to be her maid of honor and she has great taste.

I won’t be in a dress that makes me look as if I were going to my junior high school prom. It is sleek and glamorous and the best part is I can wear it again and again. It just needs one last touch to make it perfect.

Kate Moss Launching A New Bag Line For Longchamp

Kate Moss has been the brand ambassador for Longchamp, the French luxury leather good brand. She has now launched her own handbag collection in collaboration with them. The Kate Moss for Longchamp collection was launched in Paris yesterday and Kate Moss hosted a small party for 700 people at The Ritz.

The intimate party was attended by Jamie Hince, her fiancé, Carine Roitfeld, editor-in-chief, French Vogue, Giambattista Valli, the designer, Loulou de la Falaise and the Longchamp family. The Queens of Noize and les Plasticines were also present and gave live performances.

Kate Moss has added another feather to her over crowded cap. She is a supermodel, a designer, a property tycoon and even a rock-n-roll singer. The collection is expected to be launched in London on the 11th of next month, at the Longchamp Boutique and The wonder Room.

Avatar Becomes An Inspiration For Couture

From being a success in the cinemas to rocking the catwalk – this seems to be the destiny of the much awarded and highly praised “Avatar”.

Jean Paul Gautier was the one to express the inspiration that Avatar generated in a collection of clothing. The movie led his imagination, as he declares, all the way to the far lands of Mexico, with ecology and nature in mind.

Gaultier’s newest collection (shown yesterday, January 28th in Paris) proved itself to be daring and inspiring. Abounding in Aztec symbols, matched with boots that remind of the ancient conquistadors and jackets resembling the ones worn by the gold seekers, none of the pieces impressed more than the fabulous piece worn by Magdalena Frackowiak, glittery and filled with turquoise stones.

To bring the audience feet on the earth, Gaultier mixed some very original bags in the collection, the aspect of which reminded everyone of coconut leaves.

7 Essentials To Dressing Emo

dressing emoWant to dress Emo? We have an easy how-to guide to dress Emo with just 7 essential wardrobe items.

First in your quest to dress Emo if you are a female you should consider cutting your hair to the Zelda haircut and possibly coloring it dark(er) than it currently is.

Another item needed to dress Emo besides the Zelda haircut is the ‘nerdy’ glasses. I have a pair of these ‘nerdy’ glasses and they actually aren’t nerdy at all. They’re actually kind of horn-rimmed. They’re Coach Sammie glasses in the Tortoise color.

You also need plugs in your ears. Don’t know what plugs are? Then Emo probably isn’t for you. Now you have the plugs, the glasses and the Zelda haircut you are well on your way to looking Emo.
