Fashion is part of the daily air and it changes all the time, with all the events. You can even see the approaching of a revolution in clothes. You can see and feel everything in clothes.Fashion is about dressing according to what’s fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.
Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There’s no how-to road map to style. It’s about self expression and, above all, attitude.Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life.
From Faye Dunaway in the film “Bonnie and Clyde” to the always-modern Jackie O, the make-up look of fine girls and feminine classics is always “in”. After all, in order for a girlfriend to manage without a closet with few clues, a small black dress or ballerina. All this has been worn for years – the only difference is more modern materials, and this is questionable.
Jackie O is a true fashion icon and one of the most elegant first lady. A-shaped hats up to the knee, “pencil” skirts, vestas, midi-heels, berets and minimalist jackets were an indispensable part of the elegant Jackie dress. The style is equally popular and today famous people often resort to it, knowing that they can not make a mistake. Angelina Jolie in the film Turist, wearing clothes that resemble Jackie O.
Rock and Roll
Sandy from “Brilliantine” and Madonna in “Desperately seeking Susan” embodied the rocker’s look of the 80s. And while the leather moto jackets are back in fashion for the past several seasons, for real fashionistas – they have never even got out of fashion. Red lipstick, tight jeans or black overalls can instantly turn you into the right femme fatale, regardless of fashionable decade. After all, when a little rebellion was not in the style? It’s the same with black lace, chains, leather bracelets and intense makeup – it’s all part of the “bad girl” lollipop, which will never get out of fashion.
Do not be too perfect
Kate Moss embodies this rule – she always looks incredible and never acts as if she was too busy. No matter what she wears, something on her is not always the way she should be – or her hair is slightly rubbed, or her shoes do not suit the outfit very well, or it’s broken. Well, now, whether she does it deliberately or does break it down – it does not really matter – she has become famous and she looks better than most of the fully-fledged women. So learn something from Kate and give up the quest for perfection. First of all it is completely useless – no one is perfect and no one will ever be, and secondly – imperfection is very popular in the world of fashion.
The denim is eternal
Inevitable in world fashion, denim is a material that will never lose its popularity. And if we are talking about clothes and that material – first of all, jeans that everyone has to have in their wardrobe fall. The traper is perfect for casual, but also fresher moments, and, best of all, it is good to everyone (everyone can find a complimentary couple of jeans for themselves). From Kate Moss in the advertisement for Calvin Klein Jeans, through James Dean in the Buntovnik for no reason, the denim has taken many forms over the years.
A fashion week is a fashion industry event, lasting approximately one week, wherein fashion designers, brands or “houses” display their latest collections in runway fashion shows to buyers and the media. These events influence trends for the current and upcoming seasons.
The most prominent fashion weeks are held in fashion capitals of the world, with the “Big Four” receiving the majority of press coverage being New York, London, Milan, and Paris.
The concept of fashion week (Semaine des défilés (fr)) began in Paris, when marketers would hire women to wear couture items in public places, from racetracks to salons.
These parades (parade is “défilé in French) gradually began to become social events of their own. (Indeed, in French, runways shows are still called “défilés de mode” — literally “fashion parades” — today.)
The first Paris fashion week began in 1973.
New York and the first “fashion week”
In 1903, a New York City shop called Ehrich Brothers put on what is thought to have been the country’s first fashion show to lure middle-class women into the store.By 1910, many big department stores were holding shows of their own. It is likely that American retailers saw what were called “fashion parades” in couture salons, and decided to use the idea. These “parades” were an effective way to promote stores, and improved their status. By the 1920s, the fashion show had been used by retailers up and down the country. They were staged, and often held in the shop’s restaurant during lunch or teatime. These shows were usually more theatrical than those of today, heavily based upon a single theme, and accompanied with a narrative commentary. The shows were hugely popular, enticing crowds in their thousands – crowds so large, that stores in New York in the fifties had to obtain a license to have live models.
Good morning guys! Last week I was in Belgrade for 3 days to finish something and I was with my photographer Marija so we decided to take outfit photos – blast from the past. It is super cold outside, both in Belgium and Serbia, and even though I am not huge fan of winter and cold months, I love snuggling in and wearing fur. You saw me on my instagram in different fur coats and I love every single one of them, but this blue one from Hans Schwarz just makes me want to go out in the snow. Blue is one of my favorite colors and I don’t know what is it with me and blue fur coats and vests but I always go for them. Stunning. You can check out the International Fur Federation’s latest FUR NOW campaign for more inspiration HERE I love so many items – its crazy!

With all things technical that upgrade to newer versions, the old sometimes is no longer compatible and causes applications to no longer work. This is the case with our blog template that we have used for so many years. With Database and Code upgrades that have recently gone into place to enhance the security of information online it was required that we had to make some changes so you could view our blog properly. While upgrading to a new theme, several demo images and posts were installed along with the theme that do NOT pertain to our business. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and confusion this upgrade has caused. We are working diligently to try and resolve the upgrade and get you back to reading our blog as it was intended to be.
