Wartime often has been heralded as strong periods of American style, yet, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq seem to be barely a blip on the radar of the fashion community.

Bold Belts …

2009-05-07T21:58:00.000-07:00

Dressing up your outfit with a bright bold belt is one of the easiest ways to update your look.

Show your dangerous side wearing a belt with an animal pattern or a belt made of faux exotic skin!

Who said a belt should be made of leather or fabric? Try a more daring version of a belt with a soft dress, the contrast between the two will play up your whole outfit. See how much more floating the silk in the pictures is? It’s all about contrast …

Winter Shoes and Boots

2009-01-25T08:32:00.000-08:00

This winter, ankle high booties are hot, hot and hot! Also seen in the runway and fashion magazines are knee high boots, laced-up boots and cut-out shoes. Walk the walk in Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo’s gorgeous shoes with fringes and tassels. What a way to say Happy Holidays!

Coats

2009-01-17T07:21:00.001-08:00

Invest in a good coat that you will look good in… If you have a chance to buy a designer piece, go for it! A good Italian or French wool coat will last you 3 years minimum and you’ll be seen wearing it most of the time! In terms of colors, black, brown and gray are the traditional hues for winter coats and you will see these colors on most women, but if you truly want to stand out from the winter crowd, a little attitude won’t hurt.

Venture in bright plaids, animal prints, pinks, reds, or go all white (or beige) for a fabulous winter look that will pop.

PARIS, September 28, 2008

2008-11-06T10:37:00.000-08:00

After exploring their tailored, masculine side for Fall, An Vandevorst and Filip Arickx today dipped into the lingerie drawer that constitutes the other half of their dual style.
That meant their signature white shirts were topped with lace-trimmed satin bras and long, front-slit slips, or that girdles peeked out from above the waistline of a pair of black pants. Other times, garter belts were plainly visible above white back-seam stockings worn over black hose.
Most of that won't play outside the bedroom; the red, heavily lined lips—one part drag queen, another part little girl playing in Mommy's makeup—added an extra kink factor. Good thing there were elements to the collection that were more softly feminine: The quilted, floral kimono silk bustier and skirt that accompanied a peachy-orange button-down blouse had a grown-up sophistication and real-life appeal.

Fashion

2008-10-09T01:43:00.000-07:00

Fashion refers to styles of dress (but can also include cuisine, literature, art, architecture, and general comportment) that are popular in a culture at any given time. Such styles may change quickly, and "fashion" in the more colloquial sense refers to the latest version of these styles. Inherent in the term is the idea that the mode will change more quickly than the culture as a whole.
The terms "fashionable" and "unfashionable" are employed to describe whether someone or something fits in with the current or even not so current, popular mode of expression. The term "fashion" is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for glamour, beauty and style. In this sense, fashions are a sort of communal art, through which a culture examines its notions of beauty and goodness. The term "fashion" is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for fads and trends, and materialism.

A number of cities are recognized as global fashion centers and are recognized for their fashion weeks, where designers exhibit their new clothing collections to audiences. These cities are Paris, Milan, New York City, and London. Other cities, mainly Los Angeles, Berlin, Tokyo, Rome, Miami, Hong Kong, São Paulo, Sydney, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Madrid, Montreal, Vienna, Auckland, Moscow, New Delhi , San Juan, Dubai and Dallas also hold fashion weeks and are better recognized every year.
