Spring 2008 Ad Review

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 01:03:27 GMT

They're my favorite part of the voluminous March issues of all the major fashion monthlies. Let's face it, they're the biggest part too. You can flip what seems like 200 pages before seeing some black and white print. But I just can't help but be in love with those glossy pages that hold the glassy stares of paper-thin models in beautiful clothes. So let's get started shall we:

Alright, so it's the second week of January, but I still want to share my New Year's style resolutions with you. I'm always fashionably late...sue me! Some of these resolutions I'd really like to adhere to and others I hope will encourage and inspire my readers. So, with no further ado:

Events That Shaped Fashion History: Dior's "New Look"

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 20:01:18 GMT

It was the spring of 1947. People around the world were struggling to regain a sense of normalcy after WWII. The last thing on women’s minds was their clothing. A little known designer (at the time) changed that with his line aptly called “Corelle,” named after the petals at the center of a flower. Christian Dior’s line presented a very specified look and his aim was to make women look like women ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

London: The Future of Fashion

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 20:52:21 GMT

Break out your atlases: London’s back on the map! The hip and trendy city from across the pond is in the throes of a fashion revival, the likes of which haven’t been seen in years. It seems like every new, young, hot designer I read or hear about these days hails from England. Central Saint Martins is like the Hogwarts of the fashion industry; churning out masterful wizards of sartorial genius. Ar... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Geometry 101: Spring's New Shapes

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 20:41:51 GMT

I cannot be the only one filled with ennui at the seemingly endless barrage of shapeless tunics that designers have subjected us to for the past couple seasons. Luckily we don't have to suffer much longer. Spring 2008 is ushering in sundry silhouettes for us to ponder and perhaps even dare to don. In direct opposition to the amorphic shapes of seasons past, a new trend is upon us. It's what the st... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Incorporating Color Into Your Fall Wardrobe

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 02:10:56 GMT

Some people shy away from color in their wardrobe their whole lives. I am not one of them. A shock of green; a splash of cobalt; a dash of violet: colors like these are the hallmarks of my spring/summer wardrobe. But come fall, my manner of dress is not only influenced by the season's generally somber runways, but the frigid air and dismal skies. Tenebrous weather tends to steer my hand towards th...

Looking Ahead: Spring 2008 Preview

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 20:24:31 GMT

Fall has only just begun, but we’re already looking ahead to spring. It’s the way the fashion industry has always been. Spring runway shows in the fall and fall shows in the spring. This year is no exception. If I could sum up Spring 2008 in three words it would be: Garden of Eden. The runways bloomed with flowers aplenty. Nicholas Ghesqui re of Balenciaga sent a never-ending parade of minidresses... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]
