3.Follow with eyeliner Dark eyeshadow work great as eyeliners. Wet a slanted brush, then dip in a dark eyeshadow. Line eyes as close to the upper lashes as possible from the inner corner to the outer corner. Follow with liner on bottom eyes, but only line from the middle of the eye out. Smudge the bottom line with a Q-tip or your finger. You don't want a prominent line. For a smokey eye, use a brush to pat in a dark eyeshadow along the upper lid and below the lid.
4.Apply eyeshadow
Allowing them to blend into each other like a rainbow is gorgeous, tart with a light color that almost matches your lid. Sweep the color across the lid and up to your brow bone. Follow with a medium color across your lid only. Build on this with a darker color in the crease.
5.Apply mascara.

Angela Missoni, who took over the design reins in 1996, was inspired by what she called “enchanted and enchanting fairies” who appear “very real” thanks to human ingenuity with volume, cut, fabric, yarns and accessories.

The models appeared to drift down the catwalk in ice-cream coloured tweeds and florals, with coordinating biker boots in patch-worked snakeskin and suede.

The silhouette was loose and long, mixing maxi-skirts and dresses with oversized men’s sweaters and floor-grazing riding-coats; or pretty, lace-knitwear with baggy, low-slung trousers and shorts.

Pink elephants and floral bouquets were embroidered on silk-velvet and chiffon maxis, worn with pastel-stripe, knitted mink vests. Tweeds were blanket-checked in candy colours. And zig-zag and floral intarsia knits – Missoni signatures – came shadow-dyed in shades of mint, raspberry, lilac and strawberry, or threaded with ribbons, and teamed with embroidered, feather-skirts.

The sotto-voce palette was burnished with occasional sparks of sherbet orange and bright pink, and shimmering, lamé yarns added a ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ like mood to the collection.

Beautifull dating tips

2011-08-18T12:24:00.000-07:00

One of the most popular and exciting way of meeting new people, speed dating has been attracting people of different age groups. Frankly, it’s not easy to find your perfect soul mate and when it comes to finding a decent man or a lovely woman, not everyone actually knows what to look for in a potential mate. Before a guy can even muster the courage to ask a girl out, he rethinks each and every move of his. As for the girls, in the hopes of finding Prince Charming, some of us might just miss out on one in the process. The dating world is very unpredictable as you never know what’s going to happen next. And when you throw in the complications of a relationship, then forget about it. Which is why, many singles find that speed dating is a good alternative to meet someone and hopefully, strike a chord. So if you are planning on giving speed dating a shot, then you have to read what we’ve got to say.

Speed Dating Tips for Women;

If this your first try at speed dating, your nerves must be at an all-time high right now. There’s so much to think about; whether you’ll be able to find someone, is this a good idea, what should wear, should you think of something witty to say, so on and so forth. Since speed dating, as the name suggests, doesn’t really give you a lot of time to really connect with someone on a personal note, you’ve got to be prepared and work in the time allotted to you. Of course, there will be dozens of guys lined up in front of you and finding Mr. Right can become that much challenging. So to ease you through this process and get you the romance you’ve always searched for, read the following tips.

The way you present yourself is very essential. I know some women feel that basing decisions on physical and outer appearance is sexist. But when you come to think of it, the attraction between a man and a woman begins from sight. So don’t feel shy to dress well and look elegant (with as little makeup and accessories as possible).

Depending on what you’re looking for in a guy, frame your speed dating questions. For example, you are looking for a non-smoker or someone who drinks at a reasonable quantity, don’t be scared to ask the guys point blank.

Keep in mind that you only have but a minute or two to get yourself noticed, so make the right first impression. Even after meeting many women, if you think he has potential, then he needs to remember you till the end. Show confidence in yourself and try to give interesting and truthful answers.

It’s not necessary that you need to have witty and/or funny answers to all the questions. Many a times, you might not have something nice to say, but that doesn’t mean you give up. Sometimes, a plain and simple answer will do just fine.

Since everyone gets a number, it can be difficult to remember the names of the guy(s) you might be interested in when the whole shebang is over. A good way to remember an individual's name is by writing his name in front of the number. It will be easier for you later on.

Speed Dating Tips for Men;

Don’t look at speed dating as a last resort to finding "Happy Ending", but as a unique life experience. Your attitude is everything that makes this effort make it or break it for you. If you go in with the feeling that you are going to find someone that is meant for you, then you’ll be more open and free to communicate with others; and that confidence will show when it’s needed. Women can smell fear, agitation, and every negative thoughts/feelings that come to your head. And we don’t want that to happen. What you need be perceived as is a strong, confident guy whom women would love to get to know more. Am I right? So to put your best food forward, follow these tips.

Be humble when you talk to a lady. When a woman speaks to you, basically she's looking at how you speak to her and are you a gentleman. She will base her decision on it.

Try not to boast about yourself too much. Of course, everyone has accomplished a lot in their lives which they are proud of. But talking about it constantly can be a turnoff.

If you're nervous about talking to so many women in such a short time, then rehearse with a friend. You can do a mock setup and talk about some common speed dating questions.

Wear a nice perfume and dress in comfortable clothes. Sensual and sexy smelling perfumes can really get you noticed.

Make sure your hair is neat and shampooed, your nails are trimmed, hair on the face is shaved (or if you have a beard, it's trimmed nicely), and you look presentable.

Instead of being asked all the questions, try to ask her something unique about herself that not many people know.And, pay attention to her. Women love it when guys listen to what they have to say.

Don't be arrogant and don't stare at you know where. Women don't appreciate guys who are just looking for quick hookups.

Some Dos and Don’ts to Keep in Mind;

Well, we discussed on what men and women need to concentrate on for speed dating. However, there are few common dos and don’ts which should not be overlooked by any of the two sexes. And here they are…
Do.;

Keep your cool, calm yourself down, and feel confident in yourself. If you are confident, then it will reflect to the other person.

Seem mysterious, but not so much that the person sitting in front of you is turned off by it. Give him/her the feeling ofwanting to know you more.

Maintain eye contact and smile when you both talk. You are a nice person and that's what you are there to show.

Be cordial and when the buzzer rings, exchange a quick goodbye. Who knows, this might just trigger something in the person sitting in front of you and want to talk to you more. Polite people are very attractive. Don't.;

Don't give personal contact details just yet. You want to make sure that he/she isn’t a stalker or something. Keep yourself safe.

Don't think that the only way to grab attention is to sound and look interesting. But you have to show interest in the person sitting in front of you.

Don't try to be someone you are not. Being someone you’re not is making a person believe that you are a particular person. Instead, why not let someone get to know the real you.

Don't wear a slutty dress (for women) or dress as a pimp (for men). Provocative dressing doesn't really say "girlfriend" or "boyfriend". You want to make an impression which says, "Yes, I know you would like me to be in your life."

Don't be over flirtatious. Women and many men don't really look for a partner who keeps flirting with each and every person in front of them.

Don't wander off to another world when someone is talking to you. Even if you are not interested in them, the most you can do is be polite. (You never know, the person sitting in front of you is another guy's friend; whom you like).

Don't bring up past relationships or the fact that you are here because your friends forced you to. It may be the truth, but a girl doesn't really want to hear that just yet.

I hope that these speed dating tips were helpful and they can be put into use. Even though the concept of speed dating may not seem like the best idea, giving love and life a shot isn't all that bad. You never know whom you will bump into there and find a new meaning of life.

Beautiful Natural Colored Tree

If you ever wander somewhere in the woods of New Guinea or Philippines and stumble upon a bunch of crazy colored trees, don’t think you lost your mind because those trees are actually real even if it looks like someone took paints and brush and colored it from the top to the bottom.This is the only tree which has so colorful trunk. It is known as Rainbow Gum or Rainbow Eucalyptus but its real Latin name is Eucalyptus degulpta.I wonder what would it look like if I used this kind of wood to make some furniture. I am sure it would be totally cool to have a computer desk made from that.

But emphasizing the inner corner will make eyes look closer together.Start by sweeping a light shadow over the whole eye area. Then dust a medium color on the inner half of the eyelid and blend outward to create a natural finish. Next, line from the inner corner of the eye to the middle and then blend outward.

To make your eyes look bigger.
The key to making eyes bigger is to focus on light shades. Dark ones will make eyes appear even smaller. Sweep a light shade over lid, then shade the outer corner of the lid and the crease with a darker shade. Line the outer upper and lower lids with eyeliner making sure to taper a bit outside the eye (elongating it). Lastly, a dab of white or cream shadow in the middle of the browbone will make eyes pop.

Hair Care Tips: Shake Dandruff Flakes Away

Only thing is you never knew it before.There are a lot of small organisms like bacteria and fungi which live on human body. Their food is the sebaceous oils produced by human skin. A special fungus called malassezia fungus is all over our scalp. They feed on the oil produced from the hair follicles on your scalp. Occasionally they go in to over drive and irritates your scalp in to producing dead skin at up to double the normal speed. Now the skin is renewed in two weeks instead of the normal duration of a month. When all these dead cells get mixed up with the oil produced on to your scalp from your hair follicles, this results in the creation of dandruff. So in effect dandruff is a mixture of dead cells and body oil. The causes and effects of this malassezia fungus are still the topic of wide spread studies and research.You may some times find that the your regular shampoo is not getting the dandruff out of your hair.

Luxury, Near Luxury & Standard Apparels – The Challenges Facing Fashion

2011-08-17T23:58:00.000-07:00

Fashion trends appear unexpectedly and fade away even quicker than they appeared. Sustaining their slice of the pie and attracting new customers is a key issue facing the retailers. Especially in case of apparel retailing, where garments have a short life cycle, fads move even more rapidly. The retailer would lose his profits if he missed to keep abreast of the springing trends, and simultaneously would lose money if he invests in the wrong trend. This is one big challenging aspect facing the fashion industry.

Luxury, Near Luxury, & Standard Apparels:

The major concern for apparel retailers is brand positioning. Luxury apparel stores like Banana Republic target high income customers who do not mind to pay a hefty price for their merchandise. They seek attires with premium quality with a premium price. The second category of retailers are those who deal with near luxury garments; clothes which are little lavish, but within the budget of middle and upper middle class consumers. They target customers who crave for wearing stylish clothes matching the latest trends, those cannot afford to pay premium prices for their outfits, but can settle for these near luxury brands. Brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Fitch & Abercrombie fall under this category. Gap captures consumers with apparels at mid-range price. Last are the standard apparel retailers, those who aim at the middle and lower level customers with average incomes, who generally seek to buy apparels during clearance sales. Brands such as Old Navy targets low end price products of the apparel industry.

Brand positioning during tough times:

Brand positioning of apparels is very crucial especially during the times of economic turmoil. During these times, only the creamy people go in for their shopping spree without any restrictions of their budget. Luxury apparel retailers do not face much problem during these times as their wealth-laden customers generally do not have any issues regarding their spending patterns. After being bludgeoned by recession, middle and lower income people curtail their shopping patterns and cut back from spending on non-necessity items. Clothing comes under this kind. Sales in the near luxury and standard apparel stores will have a deep impact during these times.

Profit margins of apparel retailers too have variations due to the discounting strategies and variation in price levels. Profit margins for high end apparel companies range around 67% and 20% for standard apparel companies. Low priced apparel retailers keep low profit margins and still go for a discount when they do their clearance sales.

Fashion industry is going through a price overhaul with companies like H&M, and Forever 21 coming up with apparels with fair quality and low price. Todays consumers are picky and close minded regarding their shopping preferences, especially when it comes to apparels. The market trends keep changing to go with the consumers taste.

Customers will look for value as well as the price tag. From the perspective of attitude, shoppers will have a different thinking. In order to compete in todays market; the successful strategy for apparel retailers is to offer a wide range of clothing at as many price ranges as possible.

Designer The Gods of Fashion Industry

2011-08-17T23:11:00.000-07:00

Fashion designers help create the billions of clothing articles, shoes, and accessories purchased every year by consumers. Fashion designers working for apparel wholesalers or manufacturers create designs for the mass market. Fashion designers are the people who create the elegant, whimsical, fun, silly, and often expensive clothes we see parading down runways twice a year. Fashion designers design and create clothing and accessories for men, women and children. Some high-fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual clients. Other high-fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department stores.

Fashion.;

Fashion design is the applied art dedicated to the design of clothing and lifestyle accessories created within the cultural and social influences of a specific time. Fashion designers have brought about a storm in this glamour world with their commendably fabulous variety. Fashion industry has always welcomed new talent giving rise to the budding stars of tomorrow. While all articles of clothing from any time period are studied by academics as costume design, only clothing created after 1858 could be considered as fashion design.

Before the former draper set up his maison couture (fashion house) in Paris, clothing design and creation was handled by largely anonymous seamstresses, and high fashion descended from that worn at royal courts. Throughout the early 20th century, practically all high fashion originated in Paris, and to a lesser extent London. At this time in fashion history the division between haute couture and ready-to-wear was not sharply defined.

Designers.;

Designers know they have this power, and will continue to use it to influence global fashions throughout the eras. These designers create original garments, as well as those that follow established fashion trends. Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs of men's, women's, and children's fashions for the mass market. Designer brands which have a 'name' as their brand such as Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren are likely to be designed by a team of individual designers under the direction of a designer director. Thus, the tradition of designers sketching out garment designs instead of presenting completed garments on models to customers began as an economy.

Popular Western styles were adopted all over the world, and many designers from outside of the West had a profound impact on fashion. Currently, modern fashion has seen a reference to technology such as designers Hussein Chalayan and Miuccia Prada who have introduced industrial textiles and modern technology into their fall collections. Mass market designers generally adapt the trends set by the famous names in fashion. Increasingly, many modern high-end designers are now beginning to turn to mass market retailers to produce lower-priced merchandise, and to broaden their customer base. Perhaps most importantly, designers use their imaginations to come up with new ideas.

There are a number of well known fashion design schools worldwide. Most fashion design courses last for three years. As well as teaching students about the artistic and technical side of the subject, some courses include a year working in the fashion industry, to give students a taste of commercial fashion design. Others offer the chance to visit fashion houses abroad.

Ladies Shoes This Summer Season

2011-08-16T11:33:00.000-07:00

Not long ago, there were two basic shoe colours, even for women: black and brown. Now shoes are full of colour and pattern and even texture. Powerful divas like Rihanna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Cheryl Cole have brought these loud shoes off of the fashion runways and into the mainstream. So now, instead of deciding between black and brown us ladies have tons of options. If a designer can think of a colour or pattern, a shoe is immediately made in it.

Bright shoes are a great way to spice up a monotone outfit. One of the most popular looks is a little black dress with bright red shoes. Or maybe a purple dress with neon yellow shoes. There are no rules really. The more simple the outfit, the crazier the shoes should be. It is not uncommon to see girls wearing skinny jeans with a simple shirt and some super high heels in an insanely bright colour, like cobalt or fuchsia. The trend is bright and it doesn't seem to be going away. The brighter and bolder shoes, the more they exude self-confidence and charisma.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are nude heels. This shade was all over the red carpet this year for every event. Almost every female, whether actress, singer, or date, had on a luxurious gown with nude heels on her feet. The trick of nude heels is that the nude colour elongates the legs, making one continual line from the hips to the feet, and the heel aspect of the shoe adds tonal dimension to the legs. Nude heels are a great way to create the illusion of having supermodel legs for those of us who fall short. Anybody can pull off this look, and if you have an especially nice even coming up, try to wear nude heels with your dress, especially if it is a short dress. Your legs will look three miles long and you will feel like a movie star all night long.

Aside from bold colours and nude shoes, there is also another colour trend on the rise. These are vintage colours. Plums, wines, olives, berries, and greys are becoming increasingly prevalent. Basically anything 40s, 50s or 60s inspired is back in style so if it looks like something Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, or Twiggy would have worn, then it is probably in style once again. Anything super feminine is going to be good to wear with these bold, dark colours. Try pairing a silky, neutral coloured dress with dark plum shoes for a pop of contrast. This look is elegant and very fashion forward.

Basically everything goes this season. From the Warhol-inspired pop art colours of red, canary, and cobalt blue, to basic nudes, to dark burgundies and aubergines. As long as you think it looks good and you feel comfortable in it, go for it! Happy shoe hunting!

Chinese Fall for 'Fast Fashion'

2011-08-15T00:01:00.000-07:00

International retailing giants offering clothes and accessories are flocking to the Chinese mainland to tap the huge potential of so-called "fast fashion". The phrase is taken to mean clothing collections which are designed and manufactured quickly, are affordable and are aimed at mainstream consumers; it's otherwise known as "throw away" fashion. Gap, one of the biggest garment retailers in the US, announced at the end of June of its decision to venture into the Mainland market by opening flagship stores in Beijing and Shanghai before the end of 2010. It also disclosed plans to provide Chinese consumers with online shopping services.

While overseas garment retailers are gearing up to China's "fast fashion" market, local manufacturers are also poised to join the race.

Vancl, established by the founder of online retailer Joyo.com, launched two rounds of light box advertising offensives on the metro and public transport systems in Beijing and Shanghai during May and June respectively.

The outdoor advertising debut of famous Mainland writer Han Han and teenage idol Wang Luodan, as Vancl's ambassadors, drew plenty of media and cyber attention.

Marketing success.;

The crucial factors contributing to the success of "fast fashion" are novelty, trendiness, uniqueness and low price. The approach mainly targets young people. As Mainland consumers have only just learned about "fast fashion", first movers like Zara, H&M, Uniqlo and C&A were able to capture a sizeable share of the market early on.

"Fast fashion" brands rely on several factors to establish their foothold on the Mainland. For a start, they have a short product life cycle, from product development to marketing. They closely follow fashion trends (rather than setting new trends), produce designs of the season (not ahead of time), and pay attention to the span of consumption.

An affordable price is what attracts young people to "fast fashion". The prices of H&M clothing range from Rmb99 to Rmb299. Zara's prices are slightly higher. At Uniqlo, T-shirts sell at only Rmb59 and jeans at Rmb99. There are also bargain items selling at about Rmb39 each. Where it comes to fashion design, H&M usually co-opts famous designers to boost its brand image. Zara's positioning is slightly higher. It basically toes the line as a low-end, big brand by imitating the designs of top luxury brands. Uniqlo produces mainly essential items, with a focus on practicality. These brands are selling products at low prices but with top rated store images. Their high-end shopping environments and designs help consumers shake off the "cheap goods are inferior" catechism. These brands attract not only students but also a growing middle class following. For example, Uniqlo is a national clothing brand in Japan but its "low price strategy" doesn't work on the Chinese mainland. It had to close two of its nine stores in 2005.

Hong Kong Fashion Week

2011-08-12T03:45:00.000-07:00

Prospects were very sunny for this year's Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring/Summer, thanks to an 11% growth in exhibitors, with almost 1,300 taking part in the fair. What is particularly encouraging is increased participation from places such as India, Indonesia and Taiwan.

The World of Fashion Accessories zone registered a very impressive 35% growth to 107 companies, while the Sewing Supplies and Fabrics & Yarn zones have also posted good increases in exhibitor numbers. These uplifting statistics underline the fact that Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring/Summer has evolved into a very meaningful platform for buyers to conduct one-stop sourcing, encompassing finished garments, designers labels, fashion accessories and raw materials.

A growing number of exhibitors - 1,300 - at the 17th Hong Kong Fashion Week looked forward expectantly to some 5,500 decision making level buyers from as many as 70 countries, opened on 3 August 2010 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Hong Kong Fashion Week featured exhibitors from 21 countries and regions and four group pavilions from India, Macau, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland. The mainland pavilion features group exhibitions from Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Ningbo, Shaoxing and Wenzhou.

"For decades, the Hong Kong garment and textile industry has attracted buyers from all over the world because of its outstanding manufacturing craftsmanship and flexible trade and sales services," said Vincent Fang, Chairman of the HKTDC's Garment Advisory Committee. "Hong Kong fashion designers are trendsetters who understand the market," he added. "The ultimate advantage of Hong Kong is its ability to reach the massive market on the Chinese mainland," said Fang, noting that the fair is an outstanding sourcing and marketing platform for local companies. Fang also predicted that Hong Kong Fashion Week will help exhibitors reach out to global buyers to win more orders.

As always, a number of product zones were set up to ensure that exhibitors are able to introduce their products to potential buyers in a well-organised and customised setting.

Interesting Facts about Perfumes

2011-08-12T00:21:00.000-07:00

High living has always been associated with the use of perfumes. In the old days with royalty people espousing the need for fragrances, the bourgeois society soon followed.

Perfumes from natural odorants like sandalwood or musk were preferred. In today's world due to illegal trafficking and species endangerment, natural odorants are replaced by synthetic aromatics. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Aromas like musk from natural ingredients are extremely complex and have been impossible to imitate through synthetic aromatics like nitro-musks or macrocyclic musks. On the other hand, synthetic aromas like ozone, marine, metallic, etc. have no parallel olfactory relationship in the natural odorants.

So nowadays with modern technology of perfume manufacturing and synthetic aromas, new categories have been created. Categories that can be best described as:

Bright Floral - very popular and meant for almost everyone and all occasions

Woody - it evokes the forest refreshing smell

Green - it has a lighter fragrance and is meant for casual wear

Oceanic - it is very popular among the younger generation

Spicy Fruit - a good choice for tropical weather or during summer

Oriental - (Or Spicy scents) it is meant for special occasions.

The composition of perfumes is very important, because the right combination of scents (as rose, jasmine, cola), modifiers (esters), blenders (linalool, hydroxycitronellol) and fixatives(like resins, wood scents and amber), can provide the unique smell by which brand name perfumes are so famous and desired for. Some famous brand name perfumes are:

Eau de Cologne (1709)

Chanel No. 5 (1921)

Opium YSL (1977)

Azzaro Pour Homme (1978)

Anais Anais (1979)

Poison Christian Dior (1985)

Eternity Calvin Klein (1988)

Envy Gucci (1997)

Nu YSL (2001)

Rose 31 (2006)

Also, preservation of perfumes is of vital significance as it degrades if kept carelessly. Previously all perfumes used to come in open bottles with caps. These bottles kept the fragrance intact for about a year. As it was used, the level of the perfume went down, and it was exposed to oxygen contained in the empty space of the bottle. This eventually changed the perfumes fragrance. Heat, light, oxygen, and extraneous organic materials, further distorted the fragrance. Thus glass bottles, though extremely decorative, allowed light, and contributed to the degradation of the scent.

It is now a well known fact that light-tight aluminum bottles are best for the preservation of perfumes, especially when they are refrigerated at low temperatures from 3 to 7 degree Celsius. The oxygen contained inside the bottle cannot be removed completely but it can be minimized by the use of rollers instead of open bottles. Further minimization of oxygen exposure can be attained by the use of sprays.

Thus almost all modern day perfume come in spray bottles, which isolate the perfume from mixing with outside oxygen, skin, detritus, and dust, thereby promoting the longevity of the olfactory quality of the perfume.

Minimal trimmings on the Gothic clothing were also a feature of the Early Gothic period. The Gothic dresses were usually longer and the necklines were deep. Styles changed quickly during the Late Gothic period.

During the 15th century, the extremes were mostly in the upper silhouette. Crisp pleats, tight belts, padded doublets, leg-o-mutton sleeves were also some of the important features of the Gothic clothing in the Late Gothic period.

Microfiber slacks are among the most comfortable and durable kinds of pants that you must definitely have in your closet.

Microfiber is a type of synthetic fabric that is commonly made from polyamides, polyester or a combination of the two. This material is often used in making textiles that are woven, unwoven or knitted, which are then used in making various types of clothing. Aside from apparel, microfiber is also widely used in making industrial filters, upholstery and cleaning materials that are used on gadgets, such as mobile phones, music players and gaming consoles.

There are many reasons why microfiber is a top choice in making these useful things. Its durability, softness, strong wicking ability, absorbent property, water repellency, filtering capabilities and electrodynamics make it the perfect material for such stuff.

The Perfect Suit for Men

2011-08-05T19:55:00.000-07:00

When it comes to the kinds of clothes in the closet, almost every fashion designer and fashion expert will advise you to buy at least one nice suit no matter what they do. In general, people will treat you differently if you wear a nice suit.
First, the fabric plays a vital role in your selection on suit. It's totally and positively right to purchase a worsted wool suit. Certainly, there no exception of gabardines and mid-weight corded wools. You are sure to come across one among a great deal of products marked Super 100. But it only means that this kind of mid-weight yarn is twisted more often than the usual 60-80 twist wool. You had better decide on fabric which can spring back after it's squeezed without wrinkling.

But, in most fashion designers' eyes, a large amount of suits on men look plain even how chic you thought. One reason is that too many people don't care for it much. The other reason is that they don't know how to wear a suit accurately. A nice and properly worn suit won't make you out of society. There are some rules for you to follow if you would like to buy a new suit.

The most proper pants must be check over according to different aspects. Generally, the majority of people know the importance of the exact waistline. They often measure their own waistline by scaled ruler. In fact, a simple approach will help you buy right pants instead of wasting time on measuring, that is, if you are able to stick two fingers into the waist while you are wearing them, it's proved that the pants suit you. If there is extra meat in your abdomen, clothes with pleats will help get rid of it easily. Whereas, if you are thinner, you had better not use them because it will make you thinner.

Third, find the appropriate and exact sleeve length. Too short or too long sleeve makes people imagine that it's not your own clothes but from your brothers or others. It's proved to be too long if the sleeve covers the shirt cuff. A half inch or an inch of your shirt cuff shows the sleeve will reach the base of your thumb.

Pants with hem are better. Pants without hem will make a horrible feeling in front of others. It's your right to choose cuffed or uncuffed pants. But it's more mature to wear pants with cuff as well a taller with cuff-less pants.

Five, consider the jacket waist. It's more professional to wear across stomach. Meanwhile, three and four buttons takes the place of two buttons which used to be the classical characteristics of traditional America cut suit. No matter what style of style you prefer, fashionable, classic or modern, the suitable waistline will enhance the shape of your body.

Sixth, check whether you are free when you move your arms. You will have no difficulties stretching and bending and feel free when you move your arms. To check this, you can bring your arms straightly in front of you.

The Role of Coptic symbol in Design Decoration

2011-08-05T00:08:00.000-07:00

This research aims to enrich the field of decorative designs for youth clothes. The decorative ideas have been inspired from some main symbols of Coptic arts. The study of Coptic arts can contribute to design development and innovation. This incorporates the cultural power of Coptic art as a vital starting point for new design ideas and development of products. For this purpose, some methods of printing and embroidery have been applied. Twenty-one designs are presented here and five of them have been implemented.

Introduction.;

The term "Copts" is equivalent to the word "Egyptians". It is derived from the ancient Egyptian word "Ha-ka-Ptah," i.e. "the house of the spirit Ptah" the most highly revered deity in Egyptian mythology (Atiya, 1991). Nowadays, this term refers to the Orthodox Christian People who lives in Egypt. However, the Copts as the successors of the ancient Egyptians are defined as the modern sons of the Pharaohs. Coptic arts began in ancient Egypt about the third century BC after opening of Alexander the great in 332 BC. As a result of the conflict between the ancient Egyptian arts and the other ones which are reaching Egypt with each new king continued since 30 BC until after opening Egypt by Muslims in 641 AD (Samir, 2004).

Coptic art is religious, public and civil art born in the late stages of the Pharaoh's. It has special characters, different from the other arts, influenced by Greek/Roman arts alongside by Byzantine and ancient far Eastern arts (Dale, 1993). On the other hand, it influenced by the art of Christian civilization which spread in Egypt between 3^rd and 7^th century AD. From the 7^th century to the 19^th century, the Coptic arts influenced by Islamic arts and vice versa (du Bourguet, 1971). Coptic art is a high-level beautiful art, depending on many kinds of ornaments, which appear in many examples of stones, metalwork, wood, ivory, writings (manuscripts), pottery, glass, icons, cloths, textile, as well as architecture; much of them survives in monasteries and churches (Sibley, 1981; Volbach, 1969; Wessel, 1965). The Coptic Museum in ancient Cairo has some of the world's most important examples of Coptic arts.

One minute we are aboard the bandwagon of wearing high-waist bottoms to wearing the latest items like bags, sunglasses and everything else that the fashion influencers can think of.

A cashmere scarf is one of the most important tools of the fashion world because of its versatile ability to just be perfect and suitable with just about any outfit that you could think of. Not only that, cashmere scarves also have a timeless appeal that everyone can surely appreciate because it means not having to spend more than what is necessary when it comes to stocking up on scarves.

It comes in different colors. You can go from the plain basic ones to see you through days in the office or for more event-appropriate moments. Younger stylish women usually lean towards wearing those in bright and vibrant colors such as shocking pink, blue, yellow or even neon green. Some people who are feeling a bit more adventurous and daring, they go for crazy prints like the very popular and chic animal prints like the zebra stripes or the leopard's spots. Whatever you may choose to wear, you can be assured that you will always look oh so fabulous each and every single time you adorn yourself with one.

Another factor that makes cashmere scarves so important and almost as essential as the basics is its many practical uses. After all, it is not always just about the style. Dressing up is never just about the style alone. For one, scarves are used to make you feel warm and comfortable especially during the cold season.

Of course, they are also really chic and if you are wearing one, you will definitely not feel underdressed or not as posh as others.

Compared to jackets or coats, a cashmere scarf is lightweight. It will not feel very much like a burden when you do decide to take it off during the middle of the day or of an event. You can simply untie it and fold it and put it aside without too much hassle. Some even can tie it as a cute add-on to their bags when talking about not so thick and big scarves. When you compare it to sweaters and cardigans, scarves are better because they are usually more stylish and attractive to look at as the former are more traditional and even too safe at times. When it comes down to it, cashmere scarves are your best bet to everything.

In fashion, one day you are in and the next day you are out. But one can absolutely be assured that a cashmere scarf is definitely one that will still be at the top of its game in years to come.

Fashion turns over a new leaf but it could be greener

2011-08-04T00:50:00.000-07:00

The evening offered both altruistic and aesthetic manna. For Zahir Rahimtoola it was all about consolidating the success of almost 15 years in the business of fashion. His store – that has been launch pad for over 24 designers – opened doors back in 1996 but this was the first time it stepped into the razzle dazzle of a fashion show. And with this step rolled out many firsts.
It was the first time DIL held a gala of this level in Pakistan. The United States based, expatriate operated organization has been working since 1997, raising funds for the development of schools in Pakistan. It was the first time Pivot Point stepped up from salon operations to fashion show styling. The makeup was far from perfect but it was a professional start. The capable Shakeel Jaffer was brought in to create the ambience of a fashion show this big. And as the sponsors kept reminding us, the first time an international airline collaborated with fashion and music in Pakistan: Strings were signed up as Etihad Airline’s global ambassadors. One saw some important synergies play out.
It was just another fashion fundraiser but the ambience likened it to the posh Costume Institute Gala held annually in New York. Tall planters stood adorned with plex-glass diamonds, very Spring/Summer Prada. And the ascending stairs to the Convention Centre served as the perfect red carpet, well embellished with high heels and high-end fashion. One saw the latest designs by Sana Safinaz and Shamaeel sweep in with aplomb. It was a hot evening but as the breeze blew in gently from the sea, it set off an ambience that could be admired from every angle.
The evening was planned around a fashion show featuring six designers and Maheen Karim, Labels’ biggest success story, was its undisputed star. Given that she has not shown for over a year coupled with the fact that she is hugely talented, cut out an impressive and fresh collection. It was pure luxury prêt, well draped and embellished with serpent motifs that are all the rage internationally.

A fashion week for Lahore!

2011-08-04T00:26:00.000-07:00

As a trade event, the fashion week held in Lahore last week had its vital statistics in place: there were buyers in the front rows and a hustle bustle of media all over the place. The four-days scheduled 32 collections – some great and some atrocious – with the sole purpose of generating business and building a professional profile for Pakistan’s fashion industry, something only fashion weeks can do.

But first things first. Contrary to what was repeatedly announced, this was not Pakistan’s first fashion week and the Pakistan Fashion Design Council is not Pakistan’s only fashion council. The first, Karachi Fashion Week – an event that one would rather forget ever happened – took place in Karachi in 2007 and it was government supported too. KFW returned to haunt fashion last month. The second, however, won Karachi over as Fashion Pakistan Week (under the aegis of Pakistan’s other fashion council) last year in November. Therefore this one was only the next in an exhausting series, though the first in Lahore.It must be said that it was the most organized Pakistan has seen so far.

What: Good Morning America Concert Series in New York City’s Central Park, July 1^st

Wear: Julien Macdonald knit dress, Stuart Weitzman gold striped pumps

The unstoppable Beyoncé took her always crowd-pleasing talent and beauty to Central Park this morning as a part of the GMA Concert Series to promote her latest album, 4. The 29-year-old, who has never performed at Central Park in her 15-year career, tells Good Morning America that fans have waited since yesterday to watch her perform. Beyoncé worked the stage in Stuart Weitzman striped pumps lined with Swarovski crystals and a fringe-knitted yellow Julien Macdonald dress as she sang her latest single, 'Best I Never Had.'

Beyoncé returns to the limelight after three years of silence and tops the iTunes chart with 4 as the number-one album sold just one week after its release. This diva has won 16 Grammys, boasts nine number-one songs, 24 top ten songs, and sold 75 million records. Girls may run the world, but they’re taking your lead, Beyoncé.

The Best Tricks to Pulling Your Hair Back

2011-08-02T12:50:00.000-07:00

If we had to pinpoint the return of the braid as a fashion statement, it’d be the side braids at Alexander Wang’s SS09 show. Since then, they’ve become wispier, and more Heidi-like, piled high atop the head. On runways, they’re pulled to the side, messy and undone—in many ways it’s the perfect summer hairstyle (especially this summer), but like many beauty trends the most carefree looking ones are often the hardest to replicate.
New York Magazine swears by John Barrett’s Braid Bar, which opened inside Bergdorf Goodman earlier this summer.

Lady Killers

2011-08-02T11:47:00.000-07:00

There was a moment at the Thierry Mugler show, just as Lady Gaga took the stage smoking a cigarette, when the entire season seemed to splinter into two starkly different halves: grandstanding showmanship versus grandly elegant clothes. Onstage, the audience was treated to a stylist and a pop sensation’s purview of fashion—for them, a universe where looking interesting and avant requires extreme measures. Which stood in contrast to what we saw elsewhere, which was, to put it simply, everything that is right with fashion at the moment: the beauty and simplicity of elegance, done in a way that women can readily interpret.

Gaga’s fashion director, Nicola Formichetti, is the newly appointed creative director of Mugler, and he was determined to bring a little fantasy back to the catwalk with his first women’s wear show for the brand. But for all the buildup, the actual sight of Gaga on the runway in Formichetti’s creations—primarily bodysuits with sheer paneling and exaggerated shoulders—was a bit of a letdown. I mean, where were the clothes? It just reminds us how different “real” women and celebrities are when it comes to their relationship to fashion. Stars use it to build an image; the rest of us look for clothes that connect with some inner part of ourselves—we need self-expression, not a fan base.

In the end, Gaga at Mugler proved just an amuse-bouche in a season that would come to feel like a scene from The Tempest. Later in the week, Christophe Decarnin was a no-show at Balmain; he left the company because of “work differences” (widely speculated to be stress-related issues). John Galliano, as we all know now, had just brought his career to an end with a bigoted, drunken rant. His highly publicized fall from grace stunned the industry; editors played snippets of the now infamous YouTube exposé on their iPads in the front row. Dior CEO Sidney Toledano publicly and elegantly spoke of the difficult affair before the company’s subdued runway show in a tent at the gardens at Musée Rodin. The wrenching awkwardness gave way to heartfelt appreciation at the finale, when the entire atelier of “mains” (i.e., the skilled hands who create the clothes) was invited onstage to take a bow normally reserved for the theatrical Galliano. A few days later, at Galliano’s self-titled collection (in fashion, the show must go on, apparently) beautifully draped plaid silk jackets and elaborately embroidered robe dresses made the fall of one of fashion’s greatest showmen seem all the more senseless. The designer, said to have been struggling with addiction for some time, quickly offered a public apology and is rumored to have decamped to rehab.

Needless to say, the vacuum at Dior sparked endless speculation: Who would be Galliano’s replacement? That announcement might not be made until the fall. Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy is the most widely talked-about front-runner, although it is hard to imagine the house of Dior finding its full measure of elegance in the hands of someone whose dominant tropes are Catholicism and gothic themes. Certainly, other designers who haven’t worked in couture but who understand the complexities of running a giant company, such as Marc Jacobs, must be in the running as well. Haider Ackermann was also favored by those insiders who have always appreciated his moody, soulful sophistication—conjecture that was buoyed by one of his best shows to date. Ackermann’s low-slung silhouettes, exquisitely wrought in draped teal and plum silks, had an edgy, yet painterly, appeal. Dior, a house originally known for reshaping the body in excesses of fabric, could find a wellspring of ideas in someone so like-minded.

But for all of the industry’s current unease, even high-octane drama couldn’t overshadow the beauty of the clothes themselves. Once again, this season, American designers held their own against their European counterparts. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler continued to shine, for fall exploring computerized jacquard prints in a renewed take on American Indian blankets and macramé skirts. Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte also used computers to reframe Americana, casting photorealistic images of wheat fields reminiscent of Willa Cather’s My Ántonia across their prairie dresses.

The Emulation of Indian Fashion and the West

2011-07-26T00:00:00.000-07:00

With the expansion of western colonialism and development of foreign trades, Indian fashion has been continually improving to perfection. However, the forte of Indian fashion industry lies in its free-wheeling nature that incorporates anything exotic into integral Indian so much that it is not that easy to sport its origin. Nowadays, the Indian fashion industry is accelerated by mainly two aspects including custumer choices and globalization of Indian economy.

There are many reasons accounting western impact on the Indian apparel and costume industry. As a melting pot of multi ethnic groups, the open-minded culture coupled with cultural diversities of India embrace the whole world in tolerance posture. Each group has its own prominent style and type of dresses and costumes. Indian Fashion designers are known to interweave these diverse fashions and lend an amazing Indian touch to them.

In recent years, the awards of Indian beauty pageants on international platforms have been doing the nation proud. Their natural style of dressing has deeply affected the ladies fashion apparel industry in India. The dresses donned by these participants are a blend of Indian and western wear. Commoners openly ape their role models and this eventually becomes the latest fad in the general fashion wear industry in India.

Apart from the two aspects as mentioned above, Indian movies are also big influencing factor to leave a never vanishing impact on the minds of the Indians. As a matter of fact, it affects daily lives. People blindly emulate what their role models are wearing. And with movies following the western patterns of dressing it is natural for the ordinary folks to imitate them lock, barrel and stock.

The extensive scale of globalization and liberalization also pose great impact on the Indian fashion industry. Indian imports from the west have also made it easier for Indians to keep a track on the latest fashion clothes and accessories ruling the Western men and women's wear market. Apparently, Indian fashion industry is also appealing to western buyers. Needless to say, the fashion fraternity in India have willingly adopted western designs keeping in mind both the Indian and

Shopping Addiction

2011-07-25T05:20:00.000-07:00

In a bizarre story from Scotland, a 32-year-old woman with a compulsive shopping habit led to her pleading guilty to trademark violations after she stockpiled counterfeit designer goods in her Scotland home, reports the Scottish media:
found gifts branded with the names of top fashion houses like Cartier, DKNY and Burberry and fake handbags by Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana and Chloe. Officers also found watches and jewellery which were copies of Cartier, DKNY, Links and Juicy Couture ranges.
Lisa McCloy, prosecuting, said around £15,000 worth of counterfeit goods had been seized as well as £4000 cash, which police found in a bedroom drawer.
Ms McCloy said: The accused was taken to the police station and she confirmed that her income was restricted to disability allowance. Some products were confirmed as genuine and these were returned to the accused.
Alan Jackson, defending, said Haddow was a first offender who had accepted her responsibility from the start.
He said: The genuine items returned to her were very numerous. There were lots of T-shirts and 200 tops, many exactly the same. There was an element of obsessiveness in her behaviour.
Where ordinary people would by three suits, she would buy 15. She tells me she had goods lying all over the house and wardrobes bulging with clothes.

This could not happen in the United States because under current law, it is not illegal to possess fake designer goods only to sell them. But more luxury brands are pursuing tougher penalties for those who enable counterfeit traffickers to run a multibillion-dollar industry, and who can argue the people who buy the stuff dont bear some responsibility for its success?
Moral of the story? Never buy fake its hardly worth it.
