Blue is the New Black: Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

Blue has more life and more depth than black because it is the color of the sky on a moonlit night. It is mysterious, moody, classic, timeless, calming, and refreshing. It is charming, classy and elegant when contrasted with pure white Polo Ralph Lauren shirt.

We can conclude this at New York Week for Spring 2010. Blue remains timeless. It can be bold or quiet. Color communicates and transmit a vibe and I believe all the designers now has a feeling for a free spirit. I have completely fallen for the gorgeous colour of these designer clothing where blues is the color of the spring 2010 collection. This blue designer clothing collections are are giving women a good reason to get in shape.

There was a lot of energy overall which created excitement for the new year. This Spring/Summer collection made me feel like a kid. It was fresh, colorful, funky, youthful, I'm imagining how those pro black will react - It will surely overwhelm them or it might be an eye opening for all fashionista.

What do you think of the little blue dress? Will it replace your little black dress? Let us know in comments!

German fashion mag bans MODELS!

Free TrafficFree advertisingWe know there's a recession on, but will Kate Moss, Lily Cole and Jourdan Dunn all be joining the misery queues outside the job centre this year? Well they will if German magazine Brigitte's new casting policy catches on in a big way.
Last year saw designer Mark Fast put plus sized girls on his catwalk, V magazine is currently showcasing plus-size model Crystal Renn, the Guardian's Weekend magazine regularly pictures models aged up to 70 in its shoots and, this week, Grazia's cover girl is 44-year-old Sadie Frost!

Now one of Germany's best-selling women's titles has responded to 20,000 reader complaints about super-skinny models on fashion pages by using only non-models (selected from readers who applied to be featured) in its January issue. A receptionist, a teacher and a restaurant owner have all been styled and made up to replace the usual agency fare, who, according to the editor Andreas Lebert, were sometimes so slight they needed a bit of photoshopping to beef them up.
Fashion's favourite pantomime villain, Chanel overlord Karl Lagerfeld, infamously declared last year, 'Nobody wants to see a round woman,' and that anyone who criticises thin models is 'a fat, chip-eating mummy' (!) Meanwhile, there will surely be others who say that by using slim, young, pretty readers as models, Brigitte doesn't go far enough. What's to be done?
Let's remember that fashion is a business, so if designers and editors see their products rise in popularity due to a particular choice of model, then they are likely to promote (or at least include) that vision rather than one that their customers complain about. Voilà! Exhibit A: this week's Grazia, where an un-retouched Sadie Frost bares everything! And she's (albeit a very glam) working mum of four.
Just spare a thought for those poor professional models, though. They have been chosen for their slim shape – they didn't ask for the industry to be this way. Now what will happen? Will they all have to move in with Karl at the Chanel mansion when they can no longer afford to pay the rent? [independent]

Diverstiy of Body Sizes and Shapes in Fashion


For centuries, women have tortured, starved themselves in the hope of reaching the idea of perfect body size to be called sexy. We can see on the Catwalk, Runways all models are showcasing all the shapes, sizes and ages and we thought that's the healthy and natural for a women. However, after the death of Brazilian models on 2006 all thin & skinny models has been banned on the catwalks and runways in favour of realistic body sizes. A totally drastic change. Of course, each of us wanted to have a healthy and shall we say a perfect and sexy body. That's why there are so many cosmetic surgery if one wants to repair a not perfect part of her body, but, not everyone has money to undergo such procedure.
Let's be realistic, no matter how big or small you are, you should be able to look, feel and dress like a model depend on how you carry yourself. That's what we call fashion. With FASHION designer clothing you don't need to preoccupy yourself by thinking you are too skinny, your butt is so big, you have a small or big breast. Keep in mind that nobody is perfect. Those supermodel we idolize think how many rice cake they drop. That's why we have to be thankful to the designers who banned the skinny models and promote the healthy and a full body girls on the catwalk because they realize that fashion designer clothing comes in all different sizes, shapes and styles. It is impossible to find a great and perfect fit, no matter what.

HOURGLASS SHAPE

The hourglass shape is curvy overall, with a defined waist. Your hips and shoulders are similar width with a medium to large bust. You have fleshy upper arms of average size. Your legs are full at the thighs and rear, while your lower legs are slim and shapely.

If you have the hourglass shape you can wear a V-neck dress to enhance the bust and pair it with colored pants or skirt to draw the attentions upward and minimize the hips. The dark color is also flattering because it emphasizes the waistline and minimizes hips.

TRIANGLE (PEAR) SHAPE

Also called a pear shape, women with a triangle shape have more prominent hips, thighs and rear, and less prominent shoulders and bust. They also have a defined waist, and average to large legs. A woman with a pear shape body have a bust that is smaller than their lower half, and full round fleshy buttocks that are sometimes flat.

If you have the pear shape the pants is perfect because it flatter your Pear figure with wide legs that balance the wider hips and thighs. The square neckline of the top will broaden your shoulders that emphasize a defined waistline. Also, the light color draws attention upwards.

OVAL (APPLE) SHAPE
If your bust, waist and hips are similar size, then you have an oval, or apple, shape. This shape is also characterized by a small bust, slim arms and legs, an undefined waist, and square hips. Most of the weight is carried in the middle and upper torso. The legs are slender and arms are thin. The bust is larger than the hips are the buttocks are flat.

The perfect dress for an Oval shape is the asymmetrical style because it draws attention away from the mid section and the dress flatters the wide neckline that lengthens the neck detailing that draws the attention upwards. It is more awesome if you wear a knee length skirt or pencil cut because it flatters the oval shapely legs.

INVERTED TRIANGLE SHAPE
Women with an inverted triangle shape have a full bust, waist and upper back. They are less full in the hips, and have a flat rear. They also have a pronounced tummy and midriff, and slim arms and legs. They have a top heavy appearance, with broad shoulders and a full bust. The bust is larger than the hips. The hips, thighs, buttocks and lower legs are smaller in proportion to the upper half.

If you have the inverted triangle shape boot cut pants are fabulous and chic for women because it shows the shapely legs and balance the upper and lower torso. To balance the overall look, you can wear a lighter color on botton.
The great thing now, is that many designers now such as Ralph Lauren are starting to recognize the value of designing clothes that suit to all sizes, shapes and ages. Today, no matter what's your size and body build you will finally find a beautiful, fashionable and attractive clothing that fits to your needs.

Now, we don't need to worry if we don't have like the models size because what is necessary and main thing is model can convey an attitude and confidence, regardless of the size. Fashions isn't for skinny models anymore, it is for men and women with different sizes and shapes.

Ungaro Upset


LINDSAY LOHAN has run into yet more criticism following her artistic advisor debut at the house of Emanuel Ungaro - this time from Mr Emanuel Ungaro, the original designer himself.

According to INDEPENDENT.CO.UK, Ungaro - who retired from the label in 2004 - this week told local press at an international film festival in Estoril, near Lisbon, that the actress' "collaboration was a disaster".

"I am furious but I can't do anything about it," the designer said, noting that he feared the fashion house was "in the process of losing its soul".

"This happens to a lot of designers, we were the creators and patrons, responsible for the creation and destiny of our houses. But when we gave up our houses, we gave up our soul," he added.
Just last month Giambattista Valli, former director at Ungaro, confessed how he, too, was unimpressed with Lohan's efforts. He told The Daily: "An actress ought to be an actress, and a fashion designer ought to be a fashion designer. These are their own professions, so everybody ought to concentrate on one thing. I chose, in my life, to be a fashion designer."
Meanwhile, Lohan seems unfazed - having told Sunday Times: "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I didn't expect everyone to be completely loving the collection."
