New York Fashion Week 

All designers  And  All colection

 L.A.-based designer Juan Carlos Obando

New York Fashion Week

L.A.-based designer Juan Carlos Obando took the idea of razor-sharp tailoring and beat us over the head with it.

Working in a drab palette of sand, gray and black, he showed super skinny worsted wool trousers that were totally spare aside from spiraling seams, and sleeveless belted shift dresses pared down except for a few curve enhancing stitches.

Although he should be applauded for his rigorous technique, this collection needed some eye candy beyond shoe designer George Esquivel’s laced boot extensions.

It didn’t help that it was all a build-up to a finale of gowns with micro plisse bodices, something we’ve seen from him many times before.

 DKNY remixes the classics

The classics remixed. That was the takeaway from the fall DKNY line, a compelling mash-up of menswear- inspired equestrian plaids, Bauhaus grids and Deco florals. Schoolgirl pleated skirts came in mixed plaids and checks, and Angora wool coats were oversized and man-tailored, some with contrast leather piping.

Bands of electric blue sequins livened up the camel, gray, burgundy and black sweaters and scarves in geometric collage patterns. And for evening, short dresses shined with metallic patches of beads and sequins.

Fashion Diary: Technology meets Fashion Week

Gossip, first impressions, trends in the making, celebrities and style setters.

This is shaping up to be the season when the runway comes to you.

Hundreds of designers will present their fall collections during the monthlong runway circuit that kicked off Wednesday in New York and ends in mid-March in Paris with a stop in Milan along the way. And although the runway shows used to be exclusive events — closed to all but select editors, store buyers and stylists — fashion houses increasingly are extending the reach of their blockbuster productions by using the Internet.

For several seasons now, fashion show attendees have been taking their own amateur video and photos and posting them online using Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. So it was only a matter of time before designers got on the bandwagon. Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren and Dolce & Gabbana are among those who have experimented with bringing their runway shows to the digital space.

 BCBG Max Azria, Cynthia Rowley explore the urban jungle

The urban tribal aesthetic we saw last season at Proenza Schouler and Balenciaga is starting to turn up in the fall collections in New York this week.

First, it was at BCBG Max Azria on Thursday morning, where neutral-colored, draped silk dresses in geometric cuts were shot through with blocks of vibrant blue and yellow.

And it continued at Cynthia Rowley, where models had bright color woven into their hair and the band Preacher and the Knife struck a tribal beat.

Could Ohne Titel be the next Donna Karan

The most exciting thing I saw on the runway Saturday was the Ohne Titel collection. Bringing a new kind of cool to draped silk, velvet and washed leather separates by working them with athletic mesh and knit, designers Flora Gill and Alexa Adams challenged the boring vernacular of office suiting.

Could we be looking at the next Donna Karan?

The designers, who met at Parsons School of Design and have stints at Helmut Lang and Karl Lagerfeld between them, launched their line in 2011, and they have been on an upward trajectory ever since, garnering nominations and awards from the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation and the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

For fall, they worked in a palette of black, moss green, sand and pewter to create a number of separates that could find a place in any woman’s wardrobe — lean, asymmetrically cut soft leather and ribbed knit jackets, cropped shearlings, combo leather and knit leggings. Their version of the suit was a moss-colored silk blazer worn with silk pants that were slouchy up top, spiraling into ribbed knit at the bottom of the legs.

Although they cited the 19th century as inspiration, there was nothing retro about a techno collage, multicolored mesh dress, a sand leather and silk cowl neck top or a silk drawstring skirt with black leather front pouch pocket that brought motocross to mind.

After all, these are clothes for women on the move. And let’s hope this is the collection that brings this label to a wider audience. In Los Angeles, Ohne Titel (German for ‘untitled’) is stocked at Zainab and Satine.

 Rising star Prabal Gurung needs to stay grounded

For some reason this season, Prabal Gurung was anointed the new kid to watch. When he staged his first runway show in the Tents on Saturday, everyone was there — department store buyers, magazine editors, even a celeb or two.

Why? Who knows. Oprah’s a fan, the designer has a quirky name (pronounced Praa-ball) and a cute face, he grew up in Katmandu, started his career in India, and was design director at Bill Blass for five years.

Sculpted coats and skirts in camel, black and white wool cashmere with curvilinear seams had a Blass feel to them, but a bit too much bulk, and the floating panels, peplums and double layers weren’t incorporated well enough into the designs.

One-shouldered silk gazar dresses, distinguished by sculptural ruffles, didn’t feel that special either.

The best look — a motocross-inspired minidress that was a patchwork of metallic oxidized lace and wool faille. Too bad he didn’t stay focused on that technique a little longer.

Diane von Furstenberg shows how to live like a man, but dress like a woman

Diane von Furstenberg may have had the best inspiration line ever in her show notes: ‘I always wanted to live a man’s life in a woman’s body.’

What did it mean? A study in contrasts, masculine meets feminine, hard against soft — a chiffon-rosette-embroidered bolero worn over a double-breasted heather-gray pantsuit, a black-felted wool blazer over a pleated school girl glitter-jacquard skirt, and a bronze-sequin jacket over a red-print chiffon dress.

It added up to lots of the versatile, wear-everywhere pieces that keep women coming back to DVF, including the perennial wrap dress, done for evening in black jersey with ruffled organza cap sleeves.

The designer also excelled at offering pieces with details that looked special for the money, such as a black-felted wool sheath dress and sweater jacket with artful metallic chain mail insets at the bottom, that have already made it onto at least one editor’s fall shopping list.

Jason Wu, a case of outsized ambition

Jason Wu’s fall collection was a case of outsized ambition. On the one hand, menswear-inspired separates strayed too far from the designer’s comfort zone. On the other, couture-inspired Chantilly lace ball gowns (some with padded hips) overwhelmed his tiny, poorly lit runway.

Daywear fell flat with boxy jackets in too-heavy mohair, fold-over-waist pegged trousers and unremarkable draped wool plaid skirts. Only his cocktail dresses hinted at what could have been, the best in a blush-colored gauze that looked like spun sugar.

Alexander Wang, the coolest thing in N.Y. fashion

The zipper sunglasses, the studded-base handbags — Alexander Wang is the coolest thing in New York fashion right now. And this season, he let loose his tough ‘n’ trashy aesthetic on the men’s suit.

Although we’ve seen this exercise in deconstruction many times before (Jean Paul Gaultier, Junya Watanabe), Wang gave it his own pseudo-Goth night-crawler spin with the addition of velvet thigh-highs and lace-trimmed swallow-hemmed dresses. (And let’s not forget his more accessible price point.)

 The Kardashians – Kim, Khloe and Kourtney – unveil their Bebe line

New York Fashion

The latest leveraging of the Kardashian sister synergy hit the runway in Manhattan on Tuesday, as the Bebe-Kardashian line debuted at the Style 360 subset of New York Fashion Week. Since this was five long blocks across town from the Bryant Park tents — the center of the New York Fashion Week universe –the highest wattage celebrity attendee seemed to be the increasingly Amazonian-looking Jenni ‘J-Woww’ Farley of ‘Jersey Shore’ fame, who breezed into the room on glittery legs, wearing a turquoise Ed Hardy T-shirt dress and batting eyelashes the size of small butterflies, causing a Pamplona-like running of the paparazzi.

That was until reigning reality TV queen Kim Kardashian herself stepped in front of a phalanx of runway photographers, clad in a hooded, heather gray stretch jersey dress and black leatherette corset that cinched her figure into nearly Jessica Rabbit-like relief.

The actual show didn’t start for another 10 minutes, but Kardashian had arrived in what the crowd would shortly find out was look number two No. 2 from the new collection — which was designed by the Bebe brand’s in-house team with input from sisters and reality show costars Kim, Khloe and Kourtney — and the message was unmistakable: ‘Yeah, we’d wear this stuff.

 Zac Posen, Thakoon tire out while Peter Som gets his second wind

With lackluster collections from Jason Wu, Thakoon Panichgul and Zac Posen, I was beginning to worry that New York Fashion Week was experiencing a young designer burnout.

It’s easy to see how it could happen, with the pressure to make headlines and reinvent season after season — and now in the pre-seasons, too.

But not every designer has the boundless imagination to be an Alexander McQueen. (It’s possible even McQueen was having trouble keeping up, and that it led to his death.) And not every designer should try.

Indian fashion manufacturing can’t afford me’

.says Ujjwala Raut who has glide down the ramp for global lavishness brands similar to Yves Saint-Laurent, Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana and Oscar de la Renta other than is barely seen on the Indian slope. The Indian supermodel frankly admits cash is the cause.

“They can’t have adequate cash me; that’s why I am barely still seen. too, my participation by means of ad shoot and magazine wrap takes utmost occasion,” Raut said in an meeting.

The gangling model shot to fame at what time she won Femina seem of the Year at the Miss India competition in 1996. She was at the present 17. The almond-eyed girl was pressed by her senior sister to link this alluring field.

“I second-hand to be a standard appear girl; so I had by no means thought of model as a vocation option. It was my senior sister who enthused me to get into this field. She was totally enthralled by instruct me to follow her and that’s how my trip started,” Raut recollect.

Raut has appeared on the wrap of fashion magazines similar to Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and was once the face of Yves Saint Laurent. She has too walked the slope in Milan, Paris and New York fashion events.

unluckily, India hasn’t been clever to create any supermodel following the likes of Madhu Sapre, Milind Soman and Raut. And she blames Bollywood for it.

“The major cause why there is no supermodel absent in the Indian modelling business is the attendance of Bollywood which has become an clear career option for the majority models,” she supposed.

“I by no means tried Bollywood since it require a lot of notice and occasion which I won’t be clever to give custody in brain my further projects. In prospect I will absolutely think concerning the same other than no plans as of at the present,” she further.

At present Raut is on the judge panel of the NDTV Good Times well-liked reality event ‘The Hunt for the calendar girl’ 2012 the length of with Milind Soman and Sonam Kapoor.

Raut feels the majority important obsession a young model be supposed to have is right focus to excel in this industry.

“I do what I desire to do and I now don’t do no matter which and all. There are girls who would often say ‘You are a replica, I desire to be a model too!’ I would tell them that model is not for everyone. You in fact have to appreciate where your attention lies and what you are able of pursue as a line of work,” she said.

Raut, whose father is a mother a homemaker, consider that the Indian modelling business has greater than before manifold other than there are miles to go previous to one is content.

There is no hesitation to the Indian model business is rising but it’s still latest, while in the West it is extremely old. In the West, there’s much further rivalry since you are rival with girls from dissimilar parts of the globe, while in India there are now a small number of girls from exterior, rest every one are now Indians,” she said.

I’m standing next to the little newsagents at the station waiting for my train into London for some retail therapy. The magazines are full of glossy pictures of the new collections for this season, giving advice on the ‘now’ looks and which trends will be ‘big’ this season. As I flick through I suppose the pictures are meant to be inspiring: beautiful models looking great in outfits straight from the catwalk and gorgeous high shoes (I do love my shoes). Far from feeling inspired however, I start to feel confused and wonder what I’m suppose to buy on my shopping trip to see me through next season.

I am meeting up with my ultra trendy sister who works just off Oxford Street and therefore lives, eats and breathes fashion. My sister is younger than me but seems to have out grown me in the trend stakes. She always seems to pop into the high street and come out with armfuls of beautiful clothes that make her look like a real trend setter. My sister offers to help me shop but all day I have a sense of dread in the pit of my stomach. I know that although she can find great buys, I follow her into the same shop and the outfits that are suppose to be on trend just don’t look great on me. After some of my shopping trips with my sister, Oxfam has ended up with a sizeable donation of clothes!

Although we are sisters and are therefore from the same gene pool, our body shapes couldn’t be more different. She is tall and slim while I am petite and curvy. Gone are the days when we could share and swap clothes. Women come in all shapes and sizes, so understanding your own personal body shape is key.

I needed to find out about my body. Fashion magazines are not helpful in that department for someone with my body shape. They always feature tall slim models which can get tiresome as the way clothes hang on these models won’t be the same as on me. Why don’t models have boobs and hips so I can see what the clothes will look like on someone like me? My questions about myself were answered when I went for a Personal Style day with my House of Colour consultant. The things she taught me about my body shape are so much more useful than anything I’ve ever seen in a magazine or even on the makeover shows on TV. It was a revelation to learn about my ‘oblong with curves’ figure and to find out what cuts and styles of clothing suited me. The day also taught me how to express my personality in clothes I wear. It felt great to understand what was really ME!

For me one of the best things was finding out about the Fashion Update which I could get from my consultant. Not only did this give me information on the trends for the season, it told me how to wear the trends for my clothing personality. Hurray at last, comprehensive information on how I can wear fashion trends for my body shape!

Unlike magazines, the Fashion Update didn’t try to fob me off and say I can wear everything, it told me what trends are appropriate for me. It takes trends for the season from the catwalks and shows you how you can adapt the ideas for your own clothing personality. Not all the trends that season were right for me but I had a much better idea on what to look for to highlight the best of my figure and what would make me look on trend in a way I would feel comfortable in. All of a sudden I am just as trendy as my sister. – Result! We might not shop for the same styles or in the same shops but I now know why a style on her doesn’t look good on me and there are some styles she cannot wear that look great on me!

As I board the train I think I might text my sister and change our plans to just catching up over a cappuccino (and maybe shoe shopping!) The next fashion update is due soon so I think I’ll wait for that, then I’ll know which trends will be right for me!

Have a look at an example of our Fashion update to see how it help you with your Fashion Dilemmas

A: I always follow fashion blogs, read fashion magazines and and just admire people wearing pretty clothes. But for some reason, I feel like when I try something trendy on, even if it is a lot like what other people wear or even if I try to abide by the “rules”, I still do not look as pretty. The same clothes seem to look stunning on other girls but seem unflattering on me.

So I guess what I want to know is how to figure out if something will be flattering for my body type and such. I mean, I am not fat, I’d say I have a slender to average body. I weigh 115 lbs, but I’m short (which to me seems like a factor)–I’m 5’5. My skin tone is a type 4 (Olive/ “Mediterranean”) and I hate that I tan too easily so I feel like I can never wear dark clothes… I really don’t want to get stuck wearing jeans and plain clothes!

-Sarah, 18

Q: Hey, Sarah! Thanks for writing in. First off, I’m excited to answer my first fashion advice letter! (Pause) Celebration over. Time to get to work! Let me start off by saying that you are by no means a hopeless case. Your fears and complaints typify what most girls and women of almost any age worry about when they buy new clothes or simply get dressed in the morning. But learn this: just because something is trendy does NOT mean you have to wear it. Seize the trends that suit you and reject the ones that don’t.

I know you said you don’t want to wear ‘jeans and plain clothes’ but ‘classic’ doesn’t have to translate into ‘boring.’ It doesn’t matter if you have on a simple sweater you’ve owned since seventh grade; what matters is how you combine all the elements of your outfit, from color to texture to fit to silhouette and more. Here’s an example:

firstVIEWtv is an online fashion magazine and video production company with fashion show videos from all over the globe. This the Fall/Winter 2010 Ready To Wear Collection of The Row, from twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, shown in New York 02/16/10.

The word free is always pleasing to the ears because not all the time there are items being given away for free, from free food samples to free baby magazines – that is something to be grateful about. Behind these free items are companies who are still struggling to promote their businesses. They shoulder the initial expenses for the first months and when successful, they begin selling it.

There is no magazine stall that doesn’t sell it unless it is included in the packaging of well-known magazines. In a typical setting, baby magazines were never sold at a lower price unlike fashion magazines because of its content. The content of free baby magazines are not just taken anywhere, they are personal experiences of parents.

As mentioned earlier, baby magazines are commonly found in stores for babies. The reason for this is that they know that first time parents are very much eager to buy new stuff and to know the different must do’s and must don’ts for their little ones. Publishers take on this opportunity because it is the right time for publicity. They sometimes include it in the shopping bags of customers or just leave it on the counter so the clients of the store would see them right away.

There are so many ways to promote a business. Sometimes, although it is said to be known as free baby magazines which is by the way very common in Western countries like Europe, USA and Canada, they don’t actually produce them at their own expense. There are times when manufacturers of baby items pay these so-called “free” magazines for their own publicity. They know that once parents read the free magazines, they have a bigger chance to be chosen for the products they would use for their babies.

Parents are always looking for reference when it comes to giving the best for their babies. They sometimes look up the internet or ask from friends. However, a lot of people say that the best way to know the most reliable data is by reading magazines because they are screened and based from real data. This is actually the reason why free baby magazines are such a hit among mothers of any age.

There are times when readers, moms specifically are satisfied with the contents and articles that was written on the “free baby magazines,” eventually they will buy them even at a higher cost. When parents appreciate it, more and more advertisers will advertise their products on the magazines and that only means that it is again an extra income for the magazine publisher.

Many say that when a magazine is free, it is not considered as a substantial material. For so many reasons, it is not just like that. Free baby magazines that are published offer so much more than what you think. The reason behind is that advertisers see to it that readers will be able to appreciate their postings. Also, although it is free, publishers make sure that the content of which will relate with the readers and they will be convinced to read another edition of it after it will be sold in the public.

As previously mentioned, online fashion games come in a number of different formats. For instance, you can find fun fashion games that are designed for children and teenagers, but did you also know that there are fun, yet educational online fashion games out there for adults? There are and those are the types of online fashion games that you may want to focus the most on because in addition to being fun, they can also help you improve your fashion sense.

Although different online fashion games are played different ways, you will likely be able to come across an online fashion game that allows you to create an onscreen character for yourself. That character is often given the same body type as you or as you created it to be.  A large number of online fashion websites allow you to “try on,” certain types of clothing to see what works best for you and your body frame.  This is a great way to try out new fashion trends without actually having to visit a clothing store.  In addition to traditional clothing, you may also find that you are given the option to add clothing accessories, like jewelry and handbags, to the picture.

Perhaps, the easiest way to go about finding online fashion games is by performing a standard internet search.  A standard internet search is a great way to find online fashion games, as it relatively easy to do. When performing your standard internet search, you may want to think about searching with phrases like “online fashion games,” or “free online fashion games.”  If you are looking for a particular type of online fashion game, like a trivia game or one that is designed for teenagers, you may want to think about incorporating that into your standard internet search.

In your search for online fashion games, there is a good chance that you will come across some games that require the paying of a small fee.  Just so you know, the decision as to whether or not you want to pay to play an online fashion game is yours to make, but you should be able to find a number of fun, exciting, and free online fashion games.
