Founder of I Love NY T-Shirts

August 6th, 2008 Fashionista

I love NY t-shirts is a very popular item in the city of New York and across the globe. Also every country has some kind of mimicking of the “I love NY” style. You might be saying, who’s the founder of I love NY t-shirts? Well, it is no other than Milton Glaser, a revolutionary artist that made I love NY t-shirts that we have known to love.
Milton Glaser was born at 1929, and was a New York native. He attended High School of Music and Art and also went to Cooper Union Art School to further extend his education. Upon graduation, he obtained a scholarship to study under Giorgio Morandi in Italy. He loved exploring new graphic techniques and motifs.

Glaser founded his first company in 1954 called the “Push Pin Studios” with a couple of his classmates. As a graphic artist, Milton Glaser used culture and historic period styles as a way to create inspiration. His drawing style was very lively and witty. He helped big businesses marketing campaign on things like packaging, mailing, advertising and etc. He made a living and gained recognition as time passed from his art.

Glaser helped edited the New York Magazine in 1968. A couple of years later, Milton made his own graphic design company called Milton Glaser Inc. During that time he helped redecorate and redesign many magazines and gained many recognition and commission as a result of his talent and art. In 1973, Milton Glaser developed and made the logo “I Love NY” to help increase tourism in New York. It became a stunning success and every tourist was buying them. Later on, it became one of the most copied ideas as many countries were making their own “I Love Country” as a way to promote their own country.

Milton did what he loved and his love for art was undying. He used his talent as a way to captivate the viewers. Milton’s work was honored worldwide and my art museums hold his work. Milton is the founder of the “I Love NY” t-shirts that we have grown to love. (more…)

The Goods Of Givenchy

June 28th, 2008 Fashionista

Givenchy
Givenchy is a famous French brand specializing in clothes accessories, cosmetics and perfumes. It was started in the year 1952 by the designer Hubert de Givenchy. John Galliano took over the reigns as designer, but soon he was substitute by Alexander McQueen.

Givenchy also undertook some changes in leadership in the year 2000 when designer Julien McDonald took over as artistic director of the women’s lines, and Ozwald Boateng being selected designer for men’s range. Givenchy clothing lines consist of haute couture plus ready-to-wear fashion for both men and women.

The management for the haute couture plus the ready-to-wear for women was given to Riccardo Tisci. He assumed the post as chief creator of women’s’ wear in 2005. His fondness for gothic inspired designs and space-age styles has attracted people to the brand. While Tisci has earned mixed reviews, many fashion insiders have hailed Tisci’s conceptual leanings. Many also think that Tisci has the potential to revitalize the Givenchy brand with his excellent designs and imagination.

The most popular patron of the Givenchy line was Audrey Hepburn. She used Givenchy clothes and accessories in many of her movies like Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Sabrina. Other popular clients of the line were Grimaldi and Kennedy families. They wore Givenchy clothes during the funeral of the late President John F. Kennedy. (more…)

Indian Fashion Apparels Replacing The Sexy Western Outfits

March 2nd, 2008 Fashionista

Loans for people with Bad Credit
Katrina Kaif 1The Indian woman has made her mark in the corporate world and so has her age old dressing habits. The sexy western wear is remarkably making way out and being replaced by the Indian apparels.

The Indian apparel that consists of saris, salwar kameez and churidars, are being opted instead of western wear like trousers, short and long tops, t- shirts and even kurtis then skirts both formal and casual are being worn by the Indian women.

It is the working women who have brought about this revolution. For all practical reasons the western wear is losing popularity and being replaced by Indian attires. Then of course the interaction of our women with her counterparts in other parts of the world have made this drastic change. It is the uniqueness of the Indian clothes that so sought after.

Though for a while the western clothes were favored but soon it lost out for the Indian attires many educational institutions have banned the use of modern clothes. Western Apparel gives a very casual appearance as compared to a sari or a well fitted salwar kameez.

In wetes clothes the flesh-flashing trend which is the exposed skin between cropped top and hip-hugging jeans gives a very sexy look but does not suit the physique of all women The Indian apparel is replacing them because it is cool, trendy and vibrant with more accents on style. The biggest advantage of them is that it suits women of all shapes and sizes and even gives a youngish sexy look.

In the Indian attires women can choose the length of the kurta or kameez according to their own choice. The Indian apparel comes in all kinds of fabrics, colors and prints. Most formal meetings in big corporate houses demand that the woman wear saris as it reflects our culture and tradition. (more…)

Paris Street Fashion

March 2nd, 2008 Fashionista

asian style of couturePeople have many stereotypes. Especially towards the other nations. Some of them are not merely stereotypes but the very truth, while the other are a complete falsehood.

Before going to Paris and meeting the Parisians I used to think the capital citizens are all dressed-up, as if they have just went down the catwalk. And I was surprised when I saw the Parisians with my own eyes. They turned out to be dressed like millions of Europeans – each in his or her way. I mean there are people who keep up with the latest fashion trends and wear only Gucci or Prada. But there are many of them who wear inexpensive brands and don’t care about the caprices of vogue.

So I got interested in the subject. I decided to ask people in the Paris streets what they are in and why.

The first mademoiselle I stopped was Linda. She is a designer and names Pierre Cardin her favourite fashion designer. She answered positively when I asked her if she wore her own clothes. She also buys them in different shops. For instance she likes Morgan and drops in at H&M. She said she doesn’t keep up with the latest trends and creates her own style. Antuan was my next interviewer. He is an extremely interesting personality I should say. Very elegant and stylish in spite of his age (he’s about 70). He said he is cut out to be a man of fashion. He buys clothes in luxurious designer boutiques but doesn’t follow the fashion laws. He said he would never put on a thing at the season he bought it. No sooner than in a couple of years, he added.

By Anastasia Dorohova

When you think of modeling, do you picture 16 year old, waifish thin and very exotic looking girl? If so,think again. Even though the modelng business is oversaturated with the most beautiful women in the world, an average-looking person can still have a nitche within the business.

Fashion modeling is the most prestigious category of the modeling industry, because about a dozen of fashion models have actually achieved the status of celebrities.Fashion modeling industry is not open to everyone and has very strict standards: height, weight, age and measurement requirements. Fashion models have to stay very thin to fit the clothes they are modeling, and even though many people in the industry might deny it, the pressure to have zero body fat is enormous in the fashion world. If you are tall and thin and lucky enough to have an agent who’d send you to castings (meetings with clients or photographers who can potentially hire you,) be prepared to do about six meetings a day, which wouldn’t necessarily result in any jobs.

If you are lucky enough to actually get a modeling job, most editorial projects (such as magazines) don’t pay a lot, and it takes an average fashion model a few years to build up her portfolio to start getting big fashion campaigns and other high-paying modeling gigs. (more…)
