Seen at Projekt Galerie party
Gillian: modern dancer or American Apparel enthusiast? Well whichever one she is(or none of the above), what intrigued me was her florescent eye makeup and insane lashes with little beads on them. Close up of her lashes below.
See. Crazy, right? Fabulous or faux pas?
Model boy from Paris. We like: pinstriped details and the fact that he's looking at us in that special "i get paid to do this" model boy kind of way.
JLO to halt Sweetface line after spring
Hollywood actress- singer-designer Jennifer Lopez is halting the production of her clothing line, Sweetface, after six years. She launched the line as a high-end sports and street-wear spin-off of her original JLO clothing collection. Sweetface will stop production of its line once the spring collection hits the stores. Despite the popularity of the clothing line, Jennifer has conformed to stop the work on future designs while the future of the brand is reviewed. Jennifer said that considering the new company strategies, the Sweetface line has been decided to put on hiatus while the brand would be reintroduced in the near future with an entirely new fashion point of view. | |||

Blondes have more fun...
So I'm jet lagged and the parties don't start 'til tomorrow so here is a photo taken last weekend. I love his whole look and also that his whole vibe is positive and sans attitude. And maybe it has nothing to do with his having blonde hair...or maybe mother was right that it's like having your own little bit of sunshine with you always...or was she talking about something else altogether?

Luxury Market sees boom in China
The growing potential of Chinese luxury market makes it impossible for the global luxury product manufacturers to ignore the 'dragon nation'.
Luxury brands thrive in the soil of China. Their luxury market including jewelry, leather products, fashion apparels, perfumes etc. reached around $8 billion USD during 2007. A statistics states that, China accounts to 18% of the global luxury consumption. Almost 80% of the top global luxury brands have entered into China. Luxury mavens predict that by 2015, luxury consumption in China will constitute 32% of the global market.
In the recent past many international luxury brands were attracted by the market potential of China. Numerous luxury brands like Versace, Rolex, Chanel, Omega, Dior, Prada, and Zegna have dipped their toes in the country. Lots of luxury brands are manufactured in China. Coach, Prada, Furla, and LV are made in China in big numbers. Numerous factories in Guangdong make a range of brands which are sold in the market for a fortune. Cities such as Shanghai and Beijing have attracted the investments of retail giants like Giorgio Armani.
II and III tier cities fuel the luxury market:
China has 100 cities with population exceeding one million. With the increasing number of consumers' disposable income, and their inclination to acquire a social strata, and willingness to express uniqueness in their lifestyle, luxury market is fuelled up even in the II and III tier cities. I tier cities like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Beijing have advanced retail infrastructures and high per capita GDP. The II and III tier cities are also catching up with the former ones. Middle class population in China is estimated to grow and reach 250 million by 2010. With the growing interest of middle class people towards luxury products, the market is heating up. Social status is now becoming imperative for middle income people as well. Luxury products enable the consumers to project a social class. Consumers from II and III tier cities feel the need to 'close the gap' and build up a I tier image. They go in for buying branded items with a hefty price tag only to display their status to others.
Advent of the Chinese 'chuppies':
The young and profligate Chinese generation in between the age group 20-30 known as 'yuppies' or 'chuppies' in China; meaning one to spends all he earns. They are raising a wave of unprecedented commercialism. The chuppies are young, urban, and middle class consumers who are generally white collared, having 100% disposable income. They will be the most powerful consumer group; not only in China but all across the globe within the next 15 years.

Amy has worked in the fashion industry for the past ten years as a merchandiser and buyer. Most recently, she held the position of Divisional Merchandise Manager. Last year, she took a leap of faith and left that position to develop her own line of bridesmaids' dresses. This line, called Swoon, will launch in Spring 2010.
BRIDES Magazine announced OPERATION DREAM DRESS in February. Hundreds of sketches were submitted and 20 semi-final designs were posted on brides.com/dreamdress for a nationwide vote. A private event was held on June 24 where an advisory panel critiqued the designs and helped determine the winner. The panel included Austin Scarlett (Project Runway contestant and recent bridal designer), Hilary Rhoda (Supermodel and Estee Lauder's "Beautiful" Bride),Rachel Leonard (Fashion Director of BRIDES) and Dan Rentillo (Design Director of David's Bridal), and was hosted by BRIDES editor in chief, Millie Martini Bratten.
Ms. Bratten commented, "We were beyond thrilled with the response to our inaugural Operation Dream Dress contest. The sheer quantity, breadth and imagination displayed in the submissions were stunning and the finalists all delivered stylish, romantic and wearable gowns. This is an extraordinary moment for Amy Wong Micucci, whom we're excited to welcome to the bridal fashion community."

R.I.P Michael Jackson (1958-2009)
De la sosetele albe purtate cu pantofi negri, pana la jachetele lucioase si manusile fara degete, excentricul superstar a lansat trenduri dupa trenduri. Look-ul unic si miscarile de dans iconice au fost copiate de milioane de fani si de cantareti ca Usher, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown.
De-a lungul timpului Michael Jackson, regele pop-ului, a avut o multime de tinute memorabile:
Jacheta rosie purtata in videoclipul melodiei "Beat it" in 1982.
In 1983, in "Billie Jean" Michael a facut senzatie cu costumul lucios asortat cu pantofi albi si papion rosu
Tot in 1983, executand pentru prima data celebrul "moonwalk". Pantalonii pana la glezna sunt special croiti pentru ca pasii de dans sa poata fi observati
In 1984, la premiile Grammy, a lansat un nou trend - manusa stralucitoare purtata doar pe o mana
Pentru noul album "Bad", in 1987, megastarul si-a schimbat look-ul si a inceput sa-si contureze ochii cu eyeliner
La costum si cu palarie asortata, in videoclipul "Smooth criminal" din 1987
In 1988 intr-un costum foarte stramt cu detalii S&M
La premiile MTV din 1995 Michael a aparut in intr-un costum negru, accesorizat cu palarie, cravata skinny si bratara alba
Insotit de surorile sale, Janet si LaToya, Michael merge la tribunal intr-o tinuta all-white
In ultima perioada megastarul incepuse sa poarte haine din liniile Balmain si Givenchy pentru femei, care insa i se potriveau de minune.
Michael intr-o bluza de dama din colectia de toamna 2009 semnata Cristophe Decarnin pentru Balmain
Iesind de la un centru medical Michael a fost fotografiat purtand un tricou Balmain pentru barbati, pantaloni Balmain din colectia de toamna 2008 si jacheta din colectia de primavara/vara 2009, ambele din linia pentru femei
Jacko in jeansi Balmain, bluza si jacheta Givenchy din colectia de toamna 2007 pentru femei
Si, pentru final, ce videoclip putea fi mai potrivit pentru un blog de moda, daca nu "In the closet", a carui protagonista este supermodelul Naomi Campbell?
