Trend (303)

“Fashion and trends are depictive of the times that we live. Right now the recession has led designers to make very commercial collections that will sell. My personal style is based on comfort and affordability. My style is kind of bohemian artist. Comfortable clothes are key when you are an artist. I wear clothing that I am not afraid to get dirty. I do a lot of hand dying, and my job requires me to paint, so I don’t want to worry about ruining expensive clothing. I can mark out several materia

NYFW: Billy Reid Spring 2011 Collection

8842808262?profile=original8842808854?profile=original

Billy Reid was one the many designer who open the first day of New York Fashion Week (9 Sept' 2010). Inspired by his hometown Louisiana, this spring collection is all about semi formal /preppy look. Rolled up pants, vintage inspired suspender, classic cardigan, and tennis shoe, it feels like back to college in 50 or 60's with a litte modern twist. Alot of white, gray, brown, and dark blue are the colours that dominate the collection.

Although it's kinda semi formal look, where you can mean busine

“It’s very fashionable to be a designer now. The thing that there are too many fashion blogs made me more aware of what is hip and trendy, and certainly exposed me to high-end brands and designers I probably never would have sought out on my own. At the same time, being critical is a part of my work, so I do have a discerning eye for the things that go too far, or don’t go far enough. There are too mane designers. In that sense, I’ve become a fan of designers that push and challenge themselves.

How to Wear the Military Trend

It’s about time to continue talking about the trend of Fall 2010. The third one is military. It is not surprised to see that military is still on trend in fall/winter season, in fact, it has been a few years.

This year when I am talking about military, I have to mention the hottest star recently, Cheryl Cole. Everytime when she sings her number one hit song ‘Fight for this love‘, she must wear the sexy military uniform.

She is sexy, isn’t she? Well, even we don’t have a pretty face like her, neith

Kristina Villarini: a personal trend

“I think that trends in life are a lot harder to determine. A trend is something that ultimately goes from novelty or something incredibly personal to something that everyone (or at least the 'seen' people) acquire. Some general fashion trends right now are more tailored clothing and I'm starting to see people less afraid to wear whatever they want, which overall, is more stylish and interesting looking. Personal trends could be the accessories people wear or a certain combination of clothes, ev

Fall 2010 Fashion Trends

The 4 big fashion weeks are opening in less than a month. Before releasing the new collection of all brands, let me conclude the big trends in Fall 2010.


1. Fur

Well, I'm not against the animal fur, but I don't support this idea. Giving an opinion only based on fashion, I would love to have a fluffy fur(even a fake one!) to glam my closet up!

2. Cape

Cape is the must-buy item of this fall! Many celebrities and trendsetters have been alrea

Once considered to be the poor cousin of designer jewels, costume jewellery has come a long way.

Advanced technology means that pieces can now glitter and sparkle just as much as their real gem counterparts, often making it difficult to tell to the untrained eye, just what is real and what isn’t – and isn’t guessing half the fun anyway?

But not only that – costume jewellery has in fact become extremely hot property in itself, with even millionairess Nikki Hilton about to launch her own line.

So, re

The Hottest Hue

This is a fictional story and is not based on any real life events. This is for amusement only!!!!!!!!!

"The Hottest Hue" By: Kela Norman

"Canary yellow, fuchsia pink, peacock blue, whoa is me!" I said aloud while rummaging through my fabtabulous wardrobe. I was finally asked out on a date,and I didn't have a thing to wear. Well, at least not in those colors. I wanted to look like the star that I AM AND REALLLY standout. With all those other heifers competing for any male's attention, I wanted to

Hollywood Spotlight: Trend Alert - The Color Green

Are you going green? Maybe you are "environmentally," but the color green is one of fashion's latest trend.

Check out some of my picks below:


Green with envy

Of course, you could wear green with other variations of green (but not to much green, you don't want to look like a giant cucumber), patterns (houndstooth, plaid) neutrals (black, white, brown, beige) and other colors (blue, purple).

So, will you be going green?

Hollywood Spotlight: Trend Alert - Military Style

Military Set


Did you ever think that wearing the "military" look is just for those in the Armed Forces? Well, in fashion, ANYTHING is possible! :)


Most fashion military items were really coats and jackets. But now, it has been extended to dresses, shoes handbags and of course the beloved aviators. (Check out my picks above).

Will you be marching to the beat of your own drum in any of these military styles?

Get rid of the old bag!

No, I’m not talking about an elderly female relative, but those handbags gathering dust in your wardrobe. Now then, you know as well as I do that they’re never going to come back into fashion, you couldn’t even bluff and call them “vintage”, and frankly, you’re better off getting rid.

If you haven’t used a particular handbag in the last twelve months, it’s time to say goodbye and wave a fond farewell. Take it to a charity shop and guaranteed, someone will be all the more grateful for it.

And then

Blooming Bloomsbury

To be fash-forward, it’s often essential to look backwards over your perfectly angled shoulder towards a bygone-era. For me, the ecclectic and homecrafted style of ‘The Bloomsbury Group’ is a welcome distraction from eighties trash. I have always had a gentle bohemian crush on the Bloomsbury Group ideal. I mean how can one resist a collection of artists, writers, poets, philosophers, free-thinkers, along with a healthy dose of controversy? These 20th century lovelies included the elegantly eccen

New trend – chandelier earrings

Although we’re still seeing the trend for “barely there” accessories continue into AW10,chandelier earrings appear to be making a return, giving a touch of glamour to an outfit.

Whether you’re wearing an up-do for a formal event, or have opted for the more tousled surfer style which is so hot this season, chandelier earrings really can finish off your outfit.

“Fashion blogs are important, but they're not replacing the fashion journalists. Bloggers tend to be regular people who have more of a finger on the pulse of society than fashion journalists. In my experience, a lot of people in fashion take themselves incredibly seriously and are very self-important. The tendency to judge and ultimately, the need to predict what's hot in fashion really keeps some fashion writers from seeing the boutiques and accessories that are expanding and limits from the st

Fall 2011: Neill Barrett: Collection To Die For!!

Previously, i never had a certain designer that i like/love so much about his/her collection. But yesterday changed everything. When i was click the remote control, i saw this two or three model walked down on runway, and i just stopped clicking. The clothes were so amazing. I had no idea whose collection those are, all i know that it’s from Milan fashion week for fall 2011 collection. So instead watching MTV, i turn off the tv and turn on my laptop. The searching for those great clothes begun.

The Next Level of Kid’s Fashion

Watch out all grown up people, there’s new competitor in fashion town. It’s not about men who looks metrosexual anymore. That was so 2000 late. It’s your kid/nephew/niece. Not like our childhood memory, when we ain’t care the way we look, these (very-very) young generation is all about look. They won’t ride bike or play in park with their last night pajamas (like we used to). And don’t even think to buy the same clothes (for the worst part: also in the same colour) for the sibling (thanks to our

An artist acquaintance recently sermonized the shallow “tackiness” of flock fashion. I listened intently as she chastised the industry that I love. My initial response was to retort angrily, but then I decided to listen to her views whilst sipping back the Bloody Mary’s silently fuming. “The Artist” referred to broad trends as “pop-conformity” and proceeded to paint a rather ugly picture of fashion-followers as sugar coated pop-princess clones with no free-thought. I was horrified. *Shocked paus
