CHEAP FASHION EXPORT TIPS

LEIBER MEDUSA BAG BY RACHAEL ZOE AND JUDITH LEIBER

2007-05-28T13:20:00.000-07:00

This is a very stylish and original bag and the Leiber Medusa Bag by Rachael Zoe, stylist for celebrities as Paris Hilton and her friends, is really nice.

Made in Italy, we like the dual braided handle straps, the top zip closure, the magnetic flap closure and the side drawstring compartments on the exterior.

Pockets on the back are very useful to put everything from cell phone to makeup, but it's not too big, his width being near 17".

We also enjoy the golden snake logo. and the only thing we don't like is the price, but who care if the man you love buy it for you!

But if this handbag is too expensive you can also ask for Isabella Fiore Paisley Frame Satchel with is another great piece of fashion.

This bag stands out from other bags with its contrasting detail as well as its shape, and with its black leather paisley cutout over ivory.

DIOR METALLIC CANNAGE HANDBAG

2007-05-20T19:56:00.000-07:00

This handbag from the French couturier Christian Dior features a metallic cannage and its wonderful!

I agree that this quilted metallic lambskin with cannage pattern embroidery wouldn't have become my favorite if it wasn't a Christian Dior bag, because I really like the D letter hanging from the front center flap.

As always lambskin leather is soft and I enjoy touching it all day long, but I also like all the interior pockets which make storage a lot easier and so less messy.

If metallic handbags are in trend, this Elliott Lucca Metallic Shoulder Bag is also a great choice.

This bag is at the same time classy and sexy, but what I like the most is its size, big enough to put all the things I need for a full day out, with special pockets for my designer sunglasses and branded cosmetics.

THAKOON SUNGLASSES BY ALEX PAUL COLLECTION

2007-05-19T19:00:00.000-07:00

One more celebrity has launched her range of clothing, Lisa Snowdon, and once again she said that she has always been crazy for lingerie.

Might be true after all.

She said that it's not easy to find good lingerie when you have a big breast and that's one of the reason why she is excited to design her own lingerie collection.

Now TV presenter, the former model who has been George Clooney's girlfriend for 5 years, said that she has so many ideas about her new job that she wonders why she didn't try to launch her lingerie line earlier.

WHERE TO FIND CELEBRITY FASHION COPIES ONLINE ?

2007-05-10T08:51:00.000-07:00

Online shop which copies celebrity fashions are doing well and websites selling clothes which look like celebrity icons outfits are having more and more success.

Some websites are specialized in selling items that are identical to those worn by the rich and famous VIP, and when they can't sell the perfect outfit copy they offer mini dresses, micro skirts, bikinis and even bags, shoes and make-up collections in the same style of a host of celebrity men and women.

The biggest difference with some of the authentic outfits is about materials which can't be the same quality as the original as these clothes are usually very cheap, at least compared with the original one.

It's a chance for many people to follow the fashion trends set by Madonna, Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, Victoria Beckham, Nicole Ritchie, or Kate Moss, among others.

Current best sellers include a Liz Hurley Mini Dress, which is a genuine version of a dress worn by the actress in awards ceremony, but also Thai actress Chotiros Suriyawong so sexy dress.

LONELY KATE MOSS ATTACKED FOR FASHION LINE

2007-05-10T08:45:00.000-07:00

When fashion model Kate Moss has appeared alone in Topshop's flagship store in London's Oxford Street to promote her new fashion line because Pete Doherty is having a new implant fitted to help him quit drugs at Midlands clinic, some designers attacked Kate Moss about her new fashion collection.

Among these fashion designer is Jeff Banks who has launched a stinging attack on the high street trend of featuring ranges by celebrity who call themselves designers.

These designers said it's incredible to see how these people who know nothing about designing clothes could name themselves as designer.

Banks who signed a deal to design clothes for the UK chain Sainsbury's in 2000 questioned how much creative input famous faces such as Kate Moss and Madonna had in their clothing ranges at Topshop and H&M.

FASHION SUMMER MINI DRESS AND MICRO SKIRT

2007-05-10T08:11:00.000-07:00

This summer again mini dresses and micro skirts are in trend and many designers offer very nice new items for your collections.

Paris Hilton will be wearing that kind of outfit during the summer, and fashionistas all around the world are already looking for the most fashionable unique dresses.

The dresses and skirts are very sexy and very appreciated by men who think that summer is the best time for breeding, but do not wear the old style seventies dresses, they are out of fashion this season.

The best would be to wear silk or satin dresses, but cotton or Lycra are also acceptable, but avoid linen dresses, or if you like it, only buy the best quality designer clothes, because cheap linen clothes from China really look awful.

Most of the designers offer at least one sexy mini dress or micro skirt in their collection, but we really like French designer Jean Paul Gaultier pieces.

GWEN STEFANI CLOTHING LINE LAUNCHED

2007-05-10T07:42:00.000-07:00

Gwen Stefani is following singers' trend to launch her own fashion collection and as Victoria Beckam or Jennifer Lopez she pretends that she has always wanted to be a fashion clothes designer.

Cone heels and platforms have been on show for Marc Jacobs and Lanvin, with special catwalk pieces with crystal balls embedded under the arch.

Paris Hilton before going to jail and Katie Holmes have been spotted wearing Yves Saint Laurent’s shoes, but the first famous people wearing these shoes were Princess Kelly, Grace Jones, Debbie Harry, and sometimes Lady Diana, before being killed in Paris.

And they are now in full comeback with eighties revival, offered in more different colors and materials than ever.

Cartoon characters are in fashion

2006-03-05T04:04:00.000-08:00

Iconic characters from the past are bursting out of comic strips and TV cartoon archives and onto today's swank fashion designs. Nostalgic moms taking the kids to see "Curious George" can sport a $319 cashmere sweater from Nordstrom that carries a line of Curious George graphic-print designs by Los Angeles-based Raw 7. For a sparkly complement to that stunning evening gown, there's a $4,000 Hello Kitty diamond pendant from Neiman Marcus, part of the popular Hello Kitty Collection by Kimora Lee Simmons. Sanrio starlet Hello Kitty, the little white cat without a mouth, went from coin purses and candy to chunky necklaces and cell phone cases to become a fashion icon with a net worth in the billions, leading the pack of character-to-couture success stories beginning Japan in 1974. Since then, the Kitty has gained cultlike following, appearing on a 2003 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week runway in a collection called Hello Kitty Couture by Heatherette and on jeweled clutches by Judith Leiber.

French fashion revolution: YSL

2006-03-04T02:46:00.000-08:00

Since when does a woman look sexy in a loose-fitting medieval-style tunic? When Stefano Pilati, the modern-day interpreter of the legacy of French fashion god Yves Saint Laurent, decrees it. The Italian designer who thrust the tulip skirt onto unsuspecting women worldwide in his first collection for YSL one year ago, spawning myriad copycat imitations, began another mini-revolution in fashion yesterday. In front of a star-packed audience that covered the gamut of YSL's client base from substance-abusing grunge singer Courtney Love to stately actress Kristin Scott Thomas, Pilati demonstrated how the contemporary professional woman could dress for success in a tunic worn over skinny pants or a short skirt, or even as a dress.

Paris fashion week kicked off on Sunday with Balmain staging a comeback with a new designer at the helm, while industry veteran Yohji Yamamoto showed why he remains at the top of his game after 25 years in business.
The Japanese designer swathed his models in oversized menswear, indulging a passion that has gripped him since he stunned the fashion world with his avant-garde creations in the early 1980s.
Yamamoto toyed with volumes, sending out oversized blazers with drooping shoulderpads and baggy trousers with crotches hovering at the knee. A safety pin secured the overlong sleeve of a pinstriped jacket, while trouser waists bulged in a loose fold at the front.
The outfits were aimed at confident women with a cerebral bent.

In an autumn-winter collection inspired by Greek themes, 64-year-old Westwood paraded models in long, gold shimmering coats and girls showing off colorful tights under bright purple layered dresses with the word "Innocent" printed on them.
"I think it is terribly important to have opinions, and to think. We live in a world of action without thought," said Westwood, who has kept her eccentric edge since her bondage- inspired creations for the Sex Pistols punk band in the 1970s.
Westwood, who is famed for using British fabrics such as tweed and tartan for her daring clothes, has not been shy to add a political touch to her clothes. Last year, she presented tops reading "I'm not a terrorist. Please don't arrest me" to protest against a tightening of anti-terrorism measures.

Designer Angela Missoni capped off Milan Fashion Week

Missoni said she aimed to make every piece unique. She said she designed her dresses so every woman would feel sexy in them. "I always have a feminine woman in my mind. And even working with a shape which is more loose and more soft, I try to give them that spirit, very feminine. I try to enhance the waist sometimes, let them have high heels - any ways to make them a sexy woman even if she is not so exposed, even being more cocooning but she can feel sexy - even being free - in a dress," Missoni said.

Celebrities give Fashion Week its juice

2006-02-23T02:13:00.000-08:00

Without celebrities, could there even be a Fashion Week? Industry purists have lamented for about five years that famous people-watching has stolen the spotlight from the clothes. The excitement, for many, now comes not from seeing hemlines shift or plaids prevail but from glimpsing Uma, Diddy and Paris. Yet all the celeb-spotting, coupled with the emergence of celebrities as designers, celebrities as models and celebrities as entertainment journalists stalking New York's Bryant Park tents for other celebrities, has only heightened the week's mystique.

Milan kicked off a week of catwalk glamour on Saturday with shows by four young fashion talents which organizers hope will help the city secure a position at the industry's cutting edge.

Fashion BOTOX

2006-02-17T12:22:00.000-08:00

One's gone for a hair transplant. Another has a new set of teeth. Many glow perma-tan orange. Dyed locks, rock-ribbed tummies, designer suits and image consultants are the rage. Botox parties can't be too far away. We're not talking about the Hollywood lovies set, C-list celebrities or even lounge lizards beyond their sell-by date, this bunch of beautiful people are European politicians.
The big daddy of the makeover is Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, 69, who in 2003 had a facelift to remove bags under his eyes. This was followed by a hair transplant. Stylishly, he covered his pate with a bandanna until the roots had bedded.
The French daily Liberation says Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin owes much of his high opinion poll scores to surgery that removed a pea-sized wart from the bridge of his nose, a deep sun tan and a tough exercise regime, all designed to make him look dashing, athletic and tall when compared to his diminutive rival, Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy.

For the world’s up-and-coming fashion designers, London is suddenly the fashionable place to be. Once dominated by home-grown talent and widely derided for its lack of commercial success, London Fashion Week, which opened yesterday, is now attracting hopefuls from around the globe in the hope that they’ll be noticed. International buyers and fashion journalists used to largely ignore it, but this year they will be taking notice of what has become a sparkling, multinational event. This week’s multicultural mix of designers seeking fame and fortune includes Manish Arora from India, Roksanda Ilincic from Serbia and Aganovitch and Yung, the Danish-Yugoslavian-Chinese duo based in Hong Kong.

Beyonce Knowles likes animals

2006-02-14T01:50:00.000-08:00

Beyonce Knowles is reportedly being bombarded with hate mail for selling animal fur in her fashion range. The curvy singer has been sent sacks of letters since her label, Dereon, started selling clothes made of rabbit and chinchilla fur - and teddy bears made of mink. Furious animal rights campaigners have even threatened to leave carcasses outside the star's home, according to a report in Britain's News of The World newspaper. It isn't the first time Beyonce has come under fire from animal welfare groups. The beautiful singer was among a host of celebrities blasted by PETA for wearing Canadian Mukluk boots, which are made of rabbit fur.

Gym fashion

2006-02-13T02:03:00.000-08:00

While boys can wear a ripped t-shirt and mesh shorts, one of the privileges of being female is being able to take pride in your outfits, and this attitude can include the gym. From Nike to Adidas to Puma, outfit opportunities are endless, but can be narrowed down depending on the type of workout you want. For those going to the gym to really sweat, cotton isn’t the best option since the material retains the most water, taking a longer time to dry. Nike offers a great line of Dri-fit apparel that not only makes you feel like you haven’t sweat at all, but it also conceals any visible wetness. Like Under Armour, the fabrics are stretchy and lightweight, but it’s much more flattering and not as limited in color, fit, or style.

Hollywood’s hippie-chic princess Kate Hudson is touted as a fashion icon for her ability to mix old with new, designer with thrift, but much of Hudson’s style comes from how she wears the clothes.

At a re-opening of the Versace Fifth Avenue boutique, Hudson is gorgeous and glowing in an ethereal dress by the designer. A long gold chain, heels and California-girl hair and makeup complete the modern-day earth goddess look.

Karl Lagerfeld specs

2006-02-10T04:12:00.000-08:00

Karl Lagerfeld

Born:1938 (or 1933), Hamburg, Germany.

First fashion moment: Asked for a valet at age 6.

Usually dressed in: Skin-tight Hedi Slimane jeans, high-collared shirts, fingerless gloves, stacks of rings, powdered ponytail, all hiding behind oversize sunglasses.

My body myself: About the size of Ashley Olsen, having lost the equivalent of Mary-Kate on a much-publicized fish-and-veggies diet.

Muse: Nicole Kidman

Empire: World's most prolific designer. From couture gowns to chain purses for Chanel (estimated $2.8 billion a year in sales), Fendi furs ($250 million) and new Karl Lagerfeld ready-to-wear (a potential marriage made in hell with prepster Tommy Hilfiger). First big gun to do H&M cheap-chic.

Toys: Owns 70 iPods, 150 Dior Homme suits, 300 rings, 250,000 books. Tossed every bit of gilded decor in his Paris maison and replaced it with millennial chic.

Impact: Took over the moribund Chanel in 1983, a decade after Madame's death, and turned it into the world's hottest label. "What he did for Chanel made fashion history and changed the direction of status brands," says David Wolfe of the Donegar Group. "And his H&M deal was an extraordinary thing to do. He's the bravest of them all - he takes chances and they all seem to pay off."

Latest feat: Carried the fashion torch to "Oprah."

Generation next: "Chanel will get someone else," says Susan Rolontz of the Tobe Report. "They managed after Chanel. They don't want to kill the brand."

Intelligent textiles

2006-02-09T01:11:00.000-08:00

A keyboard up the sleeve, a computer in the jacket pocket and a tiny screen inside a set of spectacles - this is no longer just the stuff of science fiction books as textiles become "intelligent", offering exciting possibilities in the fields of medicine and sports. The possibilities are almost boundless. Electronic sensors in the material of an undershirt, for example, can transmit the skin's surface tension to a pocket computer and provide comfortable long-term ECG readings. One of the key words in these processes is nanotechnology - dealing with miniscule parts. Such particles, for example, make awnings, tablecloths and shoes sturdy against rubbing as well as water, dirt and grease resistant.

Notebook computers price is getting smaller and smaller. This aspirational item was once accessible only to senior business executives and is now finding its way into new settings like classrooms and the homes of ordinary people.

Spring 2006 fashion

2006-02-03T01:39:00.000-08:00

This spring, look for sophisticated styles reminiscent of 1960's tailored and clean-cut fashion lines that scream "good taste" and "high class."
For women, this means shirts with puffy capped sleeves and Peter Pan collars are must-haves. Wear one of these dressy tops under a fitted capped-sleeved blazer with a thick belt worn around the waist instead of the hips. Avoid wearing a long skirt with this look since you are covering so much skin on top already. Instead, pair a blazer with cuffed mini shorts and closed-toe, stacked-heel pumps or wedge-heeled shoes. Finish off with big square-framed glasses for an updated twist on this classic look.
For guys, think country club fashion with sex appeal. Any combination of nautical colors like red, navy blue and white works. Try striped navy and white tops. White or tan shoes are preferrable, Light-colored, fitted blazers paired with a newsboy cap and denim are also a great way to look sharp and trendy.

Fashion week and models

2006-02-02T01:03:00.000-08:00

Young catwalkers with dreams of being the next big thing begin an eight-day audition Friday at New York Fashion Week. But even if a model breaks away from the tall, leggy pack in New York, she still has to impress in Paris and Milan, Italy. Then she has to score some choice magazine spreads and ad campaigns, something that's become increasingly difficult to do as actresses such as Angelina Jolie, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Teri Hatcher consistently grace the covers of glossy magazines and hawk the fashion and beauty products that used to be models' bread and butter.

Snow sports tade show

2006-01-30T23:48:00.000-08:00

The annual SnowSports Trade Show kicked off Jan. 22 with a parade of fashions from dozens of manufacturers of men's, women's and children's apparel and accessories, complete with a little Vegas sizzle.
It was the first fashion show SnowSports Industries America had presented in several years and was highly anticipated, according to David Ingemie, president of SIA.
Ingemie says consumers who haven't updated their snow gear in five years are going to see a lot of differences in both clothing and equipment next fall, when the styles unveiled at the trade show arrive in ski shops around the country. Ski clothes used to be form-fitting and flashy, while snowboard styles were baggy and offbeat but now, ski, snowboard and free ride styles are coming together.
