Is Eco-Friendly Fashion Statement Too cliché? Not!!!
December 20th, 2009 by msj484
I just *heart* this new stint pulled by the Danish Fashion Institue last Dec.9. It was a showcase of fabrics made from, well, you guessed it – recycled materials. Now this wasn’t your usual eco-friendly apparel made from earth-toned and rich-textured organic materials. This is innovative recycling that can have the same smoothness of silk and glossy sheen of PVC. Even the names used to call the products were done by a real style-genius. Crabion, Ingeo, Ditto and Milkfiber, samples of new fashion-lingo, were the keywords heard in that event. Ingenuous materials like crab byproducts, corn scraps and even powder left over from boiled milk were used to show how traditional textiles can be replaced with innovative new ones. Talk about protecting Mother Nature, these guys really delivered!
Hats off to the show’s 20 designers from five Nordic countries and representative of retailing giants as H&M and Barneys. Each presented two looks made from organic cottons, silks, polyesters and recycled agricultural materials. Asymmetrical cocktail dresses, oversized joker-collared windbrakers and dresses in strappy bodice were just samples of styles the models strut on the runway.
I hope to see more of these soon in malls, too. Who knows what else they could come up with next time. With the buzz that multinational organizations have been creating on being eco-friendly, I’m pretty sure there’d be more of these.

Former Posh Spice still styling so posh up to now
December 11th, 2009 by msj484
No wonder why she was the posh, the vamp! Donning a sleek yet elegant long gown, the Morticia Adams inspired dress perfectly hugs the body of Mrs. Beckham. Love her or hate her for having a slim body, she was often times mistaken as anorexic because of the stick-like figure often showcased by the media. However, this image simply proves that Victoria still got the curves and of course the radiant skin that anorexics or bulemics don’t! Nothing against the latter aside feeling sorry that they ain’t got to taste the sweetest and most delicious foods ever!
Do you think if someone else would wear this black long dress it would look more fabulous? Say, the likes of Angelina Jolie who currently needs to update her closet nowadays?
Posh is still so posh. And we hope that the other former members of the group who ignited the girl power has already matured into something as elegant as Victoria Adams-Beckham

How To Carry an Orange Dress
November 9th, 2009 by dooce
For a lot of people, orange is a hard color to pull off. Surprisingly though, orange is a very flattering color since it instantly adds a natural glow to your skin tone. This spring, designers lit up the runways with a range of vibrant tangerines, neon oranges and amped-up corals that looked yummy and wearable all at once. But if you’re not used to wearing orange, it can seem a little tricky. So here’s how to make sure you’re wearing the right hues at the right time.
If you decide to wear orange near your face, such as a top, a hat or accessories, pick vibrant shades of mango for olive-to-dark skin tone. If you’re a little paler, opt for more muted orange shades such as a sunset color. When trying on garments at the store, just hold up the item near your face; if it makes your eyes pop and brightens up your face, you’ve got a winner. But if it makes you look pale or drab, put it back!
Runway Review: Issac Mizrahi Collection 2010
October 18th, 2009 by dooce
New is the New York Fashion Week was Isaac Mizrahi’s 2010 collection with a Fred Astaire themed frolic through the rain.
The show started with swishy skirted easy silk dresses, and belted peak lapel jackets. The collection shifted from Vlada dress to high wasted shorts.
The last part of the show presented glorious evening gowns like the diamond double breasted loose fitting dress. I personally love the pink sparkle sheath fitted and the black strapless sparkling jumpsuit fit for Liza Minelli. His evening gowns where like movie star gowns with hourglassed ruffled poufed.
The dresses and gowns were accessorized with Maximal earrings of variety of dangly spangly and buttons.
