It is a truism of the history of dress that decade-defining looks generally don’t congeal until quite late in the period they eventually come to represent. The miniskirts and Crayola colours of the 1960s, the power shoulders of the ’80s, the minimalism of the ’90s — all reached critical mass well into the midpoint of those eras, when whatever had been bubbling up in wardrobes and on sidewalks found its reflection in the wider world.

Well, the te

Stepping into “Scout Designer Boutique,” is like walking into a page from a fashion magazine. The store sits near the heart of downtown Pensacola, just off Palafox Place, between the bustling area of Zaragoza and Main streets. Just off the busy sidewalk, is a peaceful, fashion oasis. The modern, white décor is complemented by an array of beautiful clothes, shoes, jewelry and handbags that hang chicly along the walls and adorn the shelves and display cases.

With Trump assuming the role of POTUS, there have been numerous moments when the mere existence of Muslims in USA has been questioned; to such an extent that young girls out of fear of violence would not wear a hijab. However, at the same time the world also witnessed and applauded Muslim women like Noor Tagouri for giving her best pose in Playboy; Halima Aden for catching eyes at some of the biggest fashion weeks and Anniesa Hasibuan for creating history not once, but twice. What’s in common –

Supermodels Suki Waterhouse and David Gandy recently stepped out onto the streets of Milan, Italy for a photo shoot – and both looked truly divine.

The shoot – organised by British Airways to celebrate its low fares between style capitals London and Milan – was followed by a very British afternoon tea experience.

Waterhouse, 25, kicked off the activities by posing in a beautiful paper dress inspired by the airline’s heritage colours.

It was created by acclaimed British fashion designer and artist Z

Gwyneth Paltrow is thrilled one of her favourite fashion labels, Schiaparelli, has earned a coveted spot on Paris Fashion Week's Haute Couture calendar.

The 44-year-old Iron Man star rocked one of the brand's stunning black gowns - with short sleeves and gorgeous silver metallic detail around the neck - at U.S. magazine InStyle's awards event back in October, 2015. And she's not the label's only A-list fan.

Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence are Hollywood actors who are always hitting the celebrity news. Chris Pratt, 37, and Jennifer Lawrence,26, surprised students from Ghetto Film School at Sony Square in New York City early this week. The school is located at Sony Square, and it was established in 2000- more than 15 years ago and it has branches both in Los Angeles and New York. Ghetto Film School is a non –profit school, which aims at fostering storytellers via film, educating, developing and cel

As years go, 2016 has been one of the roughest. It’s been so all-around awful, in fact, that Fuck2016 has become not just a popular hashtag, but a T-shirt—$19.99 and going fast at lookhuman.com! With slogan tees all over the runways, why didn’t a designer think of that?

Fashion, of course, has had trials of its own. New York upstarts Suno and Ohne Titel shuttered. Designers still in business worried about shoppers acclimatized to seasonal 80 percent markdowns, an unsustainable model if ever there

Images of a little boy on the seashore in the 1960s or a newborn baby devouring mother’s milk might are not generally considered part of a style bible, but King of Hats, Stephen Jones, and Queen of Bags, Olympia Le-Tan have exposed themselves with all their fun and foibles in two tomes.

Rizzoli has become the publisher of choice for the fashion world. But what is so often a visual feast with a scant regard for storytelling is served up in a more lavish way for what can be seen as instant Christma

"Dance Moms" alum Maddie Ziegler recently launched another set of collection from her fashion line, Maddie Style.

On her Instagram account, the 14-year-old professional dancer shared some of the pieces from her collection that gained instant popularity ever since it was launched a few weeks ago.

In an interview with Refinery 29, the former Lifetime reality TV star said that she decided to launch her own fashion line because she felt that some clothes and brands were just too

While future brides-to-be scroll through Pinterest boards and wedding-dress websites and pack their Saturdays with appointments at chic bridal boutiques full of pink Champagne and roses, their male counterparts can hardly begin to seek out their own personal style without confronting a paucity of less than optimal options. Take my husband, for example: a classic jeans-and-tee guy who spent a half-year good-heartedly listening to me bitch about what wedding dress to buy. In turn, I spent all of a

Size doesn’t determine style, but it is known for altering availability. Teeny sample sizes and brands that cap out too small are the norm. And while the fashion world is slow-moving when it comes to updating its sizes and options, St. Louisan Qristyl Frazier is bridging the gap by making chic pieces for sizes 6 to 28.

From Janet Jackson to Mary J. Blige, Rosie O’Donnell and Queen Latifah, pieces by Qristyl Frazier Designs (QFD) have been worn and promoted by celebrities for years. Frazier’s work

The Red Opium show by Sandra Rives featuring Peter Farmer got off to an interesting start with an Australian Aboriginal dance. It was the perfect opening to a collection that featured five original Aboriginal artworks from the Noongar tribe/mob.

The resort wear collection is called Alinga, which means Sun Goddess in the Aboriginal language. Light dresses both long and short were seen along with easy pants and sarong-style skirts. There were also spaghetti strap tops an

The late British fashion doyen Alexander McQueen once said, “I think there is beauty in everything. What ‘normal’ people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it.” Kavitha Chandran, founder of fashion accessories label Urmi, is clearly a subscriber of McQueen’s sentiment. The fashion entrepreneur has found beauty in nondegradable plastic waste. In January, she founded a handbag label that makes bags out of recyclable plastic.

It was a night to remember as fashion lovers and members of the creative industries gathered outside the Worthington at the Spanish Court Hotel last Thursday in full anticipation of the cadre of local and international designers that were on the line-up for Collection MoDA's 2016 staging.

Stepping into the fashion-filled cocktail area, spectators were dressed in their best, setting the grounds ablaze in well-tailored, super-chic, edgy outfits as they exchanged friendl

Actress Marion Cotillard revelled in the costume fittings for her new spy thriller Allied because she was in awe of the 1940s-inspired outfits.

The French beauty admits she isn't usually one to spend hours in the wardrobe department on the set of her film projects, but this time was different as she fell in love with the period clothing.

"It was the first time I would like, run to costume fittings," she smiled on U.S. breakfast show Today.

To show cleavage or not, that’s the question. It’s not, or at least that’s what the December issue of British Vogue magazine says. The writer, Kathleen Baird-Murray, stated in the article titled Desperately Seeking Cleavage: “The cleavage – those magnificent mounds pushed together to display sexual empowerment, to seduce, to inspire lust or even just to show off – is over, or at least, taking a well-earned break.”

While trends indicate that the internationally fashi

"Da, Da, Da, Da, Here comes the bride".

Well, that's followed by: "Da, Da, Da, Da, Here comes the bill".

I listened to Neil Roberts, founder of peer-to-peer lender Harmoney talking about "loan stories" recently.

My heart sank when he talked about a man who borrowed because all three of his daughters were getting married in the same year.

Daughters, that is not on!

Your father gave you life. He raised you. He gave you love and encouragement, and what? You left him in debt

Celebrated designer Manish Malhotra says the Indian fashion industry currently lacks direction and feels designers need to concentrate on the numbers, as well as on making fashion accessible for all.

“There is a lot happening today; an influx of stylists and young designers with bright ideas. What the industry lacks is direction,” Malhotr
